NEED TO KNOW

  • Mandy Moore and her husband Taylor Goldsmith's L.A. home was partially destroyed in the devastating Eaton fire that ignited back in January 2025

  • The couple spent months restoring it after the blaze, and they're now opening the doors to their new home in a tour with Architectural Digest

  • Before the fire, Moore had been documenting the years-long renovation and construction process of the build

Mandy Mooreand her husbandTaylor Goldsmithare unveiling their newly restored Los Angeles home nearly one year after it was seriously damaged by the deadly Eaton fire.

TheThis Is Usalum, 41, and her musician husband, 40, opened the doors to their completed abode in an interview and video tour withArchitectural Digest, published on Wednesday, Feb. 11.

Moore had previously been documenting the years-long construction and renovation process of the 1931 Spanish Colonial Revival ever since she and her husband bought it back in 2020. The couple — who have since welcomed sons Gus, 4, and Ozzie, 3, as well as 1-year-old daughter Lou — had the vision of transforming the space into their idyllic family home.

However, In January 2025, Moore shared the devastating news that her neighborhood, including her family's home, in Altadena wasimpacted by the Eaton fire, one of aseries of wildfires in L.A.that leftmore than 80,000 people displacedanddestroyed more than 1,000 structures.

Speaking toAD, Moore and Goldsmith recalled the immediate aftermath of the fires and why it wasimportant for them to rebuild the homethey poured so much time and effort into.

"I came here the day, like a few hours after, the firepassed through this area," Goldsmith recalled. "The studio was on fire in the back, the garage was already burnt down. As the days went on, we realized our house made it."

While the main structure of the home was still standing, the couple recalls having tothrow away all the "soft goods"— like the rugs, furniture and clothing — as a result of the damage from the fire. Their family had to relocate to a rental home for nine months, but they were determined to rebuild.

"I think what initially lured us to Altadena is the spirit of the community here," Moore told the outlet. "Like overwhelmingly you just feel so proud to live here. And so proud to stake your claim here. Like we're not leaving, we're digging in deep. We're rebuilding what we lost."

Beginning to get emotional, she recalled how one of her neighbors, who also lost his home to the blaze, expressed how happy he was that their home was able to withstand the natural disaster.

"We were… I don't want to cry," the actress began. "But our sweet neighbor said that if anyone's house made it, he was glad it was ours, because we had been working on it for so long. The grace that somebody who just lost their entire life would have for their neighbor is just beyond. I think that speaks to what this community is."

After embarking on the months-long restoration process with their designer Sarah Sherman Samuel and architect Emily Farnham, they were finally able to move back into their dream family home and settle into the property they worked so hard on this past September.

Describing their new abode, Moore said: "I feel like it's very intentionally softer and warmer and richer, and more colorful and playful," adding that it feels "less precious" than their previous home "in the best way."

Goldsmith agreed, noting that they wanted the property to be able to "age gracefully" with their family.

"We wanted this house to be more of a family home than our previous home," he explained. "We knew we were coming into this one with children — we didn't know how many at the time, but turns out it was three."

In their living room, they kept the layout mostly the same but changed certain pieces after the fire, such as the lounge chairs and the fabric on the couch.

One space that Moore says is their "sneakily favorite room in the house" is the "cozy" screening room that Goldsmith sees as his library.

It's where his prized book collection featuring a number of first editions is on display in the built-in bookshelves. But it's also where the family gets to watch movies together and all hang out on the comfy green lounge chairs.

Moore also calls attention to her sons' room, as her kids were especially excited to have bunks in the shared space.

"The fires happened, and we were out of the house for nine months," she said. "So when we moved back in, we had these incredible bunks built in. The boys love it. It made coming back to the house even more exciting for them."

Outside, the original build didn't come with a pool, so they had one installed with a long, wraparound step as well as an outdoor shower.

"Everything we lost in the fire was primarily back here," Moore said of the family's backyard. "This part of the yard was primarily untouched, thank goodness. The pool, she remained intact."

Sarah Ferguson plans to return to work and distance herself from Ex-Prince Andrew, says source

Sarah Ferguson and her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, had to let go of their royal titles and duties, along with Royal Lodge. After the eviction, the former Duchess of York has reportedly decided to "distance herself" from the ex-prince.

A source told theDaily Mailabout Ferguson's alleged plans since leaving the UK. Reportedly, she has told her friend that she would have to "get back to work. I need money."

Iran commemorates 1979 revolution as nation is squeezed by anger over crackdown and tensions with US

Iran commemorates 1979 revolution as nation is squeezed by anger over crackdown and tensions with US

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran marked the 47th anniversary of its 1979 Islamic Revolution on Wednesday as the country's theocracy remains under pressure, both from U.S. President Donald Trump, who suggested sending another aircraft carrier group to the Middle East, and a public angrily denouncing Tehran'sbloody crackdown on nationwide protests.

The commemoration represented a split-screen view of life in Iran, with state television showing hundreds of thousands of people across the country attending pro-government rallies, which included the burning of American flags and cries of "Death to America!" The night before, as government-sponsored fireworks lit the dark sky, witnesses heard shouts from homes in the capital, Tehran, of "Death to the dictator!"

Meanwhile, President Masoud Pezeshkian got on stage at Azadi Square in Tehran and insisted that Iran is willing to negotiate over its nuclear program asfledgling talkswith the U.S. hang in the balance.

Whether the talks succeed remains an open question — and Mideast nations fear their collapse could plunge the region into another regional war. A top Iranian security official met Qatar's foreign minister in Doha on Wednesday, after earlier visiting Oman, which has mediated this latest round of negotiations. Just before the official's arrival, Qatar's ruling emir received a phone call from Trump.

In his speech at the anniversary ceremony, Pezeshkian said Iran was "not seeking nuclear weapons" and is "ready for any kind of verification." However, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog — the International Atomic Energy Agency — has been unable for months to inspect and verify Iran's nuclear stockpile.

"The high wall of mistrust that the United States and Europe have created through their past statements and actions does not allow these talks to reach a conclusion," Pezeshkian said. "At the same time, we are engaging with full determination in dialogue aimed at peace and stability in the region alongside our neighboring countries."

Commemoration overshadowed by crackdown

Iranian state TV broadcast images of people taking to the streets across the country Wednesday to support the theocracy and its 86-year-old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Others criticizedIran's exiled crown prince, Reza Pahlavi, who had been calling for anti-government protests.

"I am here to say we don't stop supporting our leader and our country as the Americans and Israelis are increasingly threatening" us, said Reza Jedi, a 43-year-old participant.

Iranian missiles were on display, as were fragments that authorities described as being from downed Israeli drones. Fake coffins draped in the American flag could also be seen, one bearing the picture of U.S. Navy Adm. Brad Cooper, the head of the American military's Central Command, which covers the Middle East.

Among Iran's 85 million people, there is a hard-line element of support for Iran's theocracy, including members of the powerful paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, which put down the protests last month in a bloody suppression that killed thousands and saw tens of thousands detained, according to activists.

Many Iranians often take part in pro-theocracy demonstrations as they are government employees or turn up to enjoy the carnival atmosphere of a government-sponsored holiday. Iran has 2.5 million government employees, with a fifth in Tehran alone.

While not directly addressing the bloodshed, Pezeshkian acknowledged the crackdown that began in earnest on Jan. 8 had "caused great sorrow."

"We are ashamed before the people, and we are obligated to assist all those who were harmed in these incidents," he said. "We are not seeking confrontation with the people."

One man sadly watched the commemoration from a sidewalk in Tehran, not taking part.

"I regularly participated in the rally in past years," said the man, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal. "But how can I do that now as the streets' asphalt were bloodied last month?"

A senior Iran official visits Qatar

As the commemoration took place, senior Iranian security official Ali Larijani left Oman for Qatar, where he met with Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. Qatar hosts a major U.S. military installation that Iran attacked in June, afterthe U.S. bombed Iranian nuclear sitesduring the 12-day Iran-Israel war. Larijani also met with officials of the Palestinian Hamas militant group in the Qatari capital. While in Oman, he met with Tehran-backed Houthi rebels from Yemen.

Qatar has been a key negotiator in the past with Iran, with which it shares a massive offshore natural gas field in the Persian Gulf. Its state-run Qatar News Agency reported that ruling emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani spoke with Trump about "the current situation in the region and international efforts aimed at de-escalation and strengthening regional security and peace," without elaborating.

Speaking to the Russian state channel RT, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran still does "not have full trust for the Americans."

"Last time we negotiated, last June we were in the middle of negotiation then they decided to attack us and that was a very, very bad experience for us," Iran's top diplomat said. "We need to make sure that that scenario is not repeated and this is mostly up to America."

Despite that concern, Araghchi said it could be possible "to come to a better deal than Obama," referencing the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers Iran reached when former U.S. President Barack Obama was in office. Trump in his first term unilaterally withdrew America from the accord.

Trump suggests sending another carrier to the Mideast

The U.S. has moved theaircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, ships and warplanes to the Middle East to pressure Iran into an agreement and have the firepower necessary to strike the Islamic Republic should Trump choose to do so.

Already, U.S. forces haveshot down a dronethey said got too close to the Lincoln and came to the aid of a U.S.-flagged ship that Iranian forces tried to stop in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf.

Trump told the news website Axios that he was considering sending a second carrier to the region. "We have an armada that is heading there and another one might be going," he said.

It remains unclear what carrier could go. The USS George H.W. Bush has left Norfolk, Virginia, according to U.S. Navy Institute News. The USS Gerald R. Ford remains in the Caribbean after the U.S. military raid that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.

U.S Vice PresidentJD Vanceduring a visit to Baku, Azerbaijan said the focus has been on reaching a deal through negotiations, but not ruling out other options if talks break down.

"He's going to have a lot of options, because we have the most powerful military in the world," he said.

Poll: Americans support ICE overhaul amid federal funding fight

February 11, 2026

A sizable majority of Americanswant significant changes to Immigration and Customs Enforcement — but while they largely disapprove of ICE and say its tactics have gone too far, the country is divided over just how much to reform the agency and how to handle immigration policy broadly, according to a new survey.

The new NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey finds nearly 3 in 4 U.S. adults support some changes to ICE, with 29% saying it should be abolished outright. Approval of President Donald Trump's sweeping deportation policies dropped steeply after federal agents killed two Americans last month in Minneapolis.

Meanwhile, Congress is debating federal funding for the agency, and a potential shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security looms at the end of the week, with congressional Democrats taking issue with agents' tactics, clashes with protesters and questions surrounding due process for the targets of immigration enforcement.

RELATED: Poll: Trump's ratings on immigration tumble as Americans lose confidence in his top issue

A plurality of Americans (43%) say ICE should be reformed, while 29% say it should be abolished, and 29% say it should continue in its current form. The survey of U.S. adults was conducted from Jan. 27 to Friday, after the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, and it has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.

Views about the future of ICE also fell along partisan lines, with most Republicans (71%) saying it should continue in its current form, while Democrats and independents say it should be reformed or abolished. A majority of independents said the agency should be reformed but not abolished, while Democrats were almost evenly split between those two options. The issue has become alitmus test in a growing number of Democratic primariesahead of the midterm elections.

A push among Democrats to abolish ICE emerged around the 2018 midterms in response to Trump's first-term immigration policies, gaining purchase particularly among progressive candidates and activists. Enthusiasm for the push died down during the Biden administration, when Democratic border policies turned into a political advantage for Republicans.

But Democrats have grownnewly emboldened by the public sentiment to demand, at minimum, an overhaul of ICE.

A quarter of Republicans said ICE should be reformed, with 5% saying it should be abolished altogether. That group was largely made up of Republicans who view themselves more as supporters of the Republican Party as opposed to viewing themselves as supporters of Trump's Make America Great Again movement.

The public and legislative push for changes to ICE comes as federal immigration agents have faced criticism for their tactics in detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants. A spate of polling in recent months has reinforced howpublic sentiment has turned against the Trump administrationon immigration enforcement.In a recent interview, "NBC Nightly News" anchor Tom Llamas asked Trump what he had learned from Minneapolis. "Maybe we could use a little bit of a softer touch," Trump said.

"But you still have to be tough," he continued.

Two-thirds of Americans (67%) say ICE and Customs and Border Patrol personnel's tactics have gone "too far," while 23% say they have been about right, and 10% say they have not gone far enough.

And 66% of Americans disapprove of how ICE is handling its job, while 34% approve.

Again, views of ICE and its tactics are politically polarized, though with some notable divisions among Republicans.

Overwhelming shares of independents (81%) and Democrats (97%) say federal agents' immigration tactics have gone too far, while a majority of Republicans (57%) say they have been about right.

But 21% of Republicans say they have gone too far, while a similar share of Republicans also disapproves of how ICE is handling its job. They are likelier to be more aligned with the traditional party than the MAGA movement.

The White House is negotiating with congressional Democrats over future funding for the Department of Homeland Security ahead of a deadline of Friday.

Democratic leaders have saidthey will not support new funding without certain reformsto the department. Measures they have floated include requiring judicial warrants for any actions on private property, banning officers from wearing face masks while requiring them to wear identification, and guaranteeing rights and treatment of those detained.

Sixty-three percent of adults disapprove of federal immigration officers' and agents' wearing masks during recent enforcement activities, including 49% who say they "strongly disapprove," compared with 37% who approve. More than 90% of Democrats and 75% of independents disapprove of their wearing masks, compared with 18% of Republicans.

An overwhelming majority of adults, 87%, believe federal officers should not be "granted immunity from prosecution for any unlawful activity during immigration enforcement actions." Vast majorities of basically every demographic say the same, including more than 9 in 10 independents and Democrats, as well as 73% of Republicans.

While there is some agreement over those dynamics, Americans remain deeply divided over immigration policy.

Asked more broadly whether undocumented citizens should be offered a chance to apply for citizenship or deported to the countries they came from, Americans broke two-thirds for a pathway to citizenship and one-third for deportations.

Majorities of Democrats and independents backed a pathway to citizenship, but the question also revealed a notable divide among Republicans.

While just 18% of MAGA supporters preferred a pathway to citizenship, 41% of those who identify more as supporters of the Republican Party wanted to see one.

The NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey surveyed 21,995 adults online from Jan. 27 to Feb. 6 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points. Percentages may not add up to 100 due to rounding.
