Meanwhile, details from Trump’s call with Zelensky reveal he proposed U.S. control of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant—a suggestion Zelensky rejected. In Gaza, war has fully resumed, with Hamas launching rockets at Israel and Israeli forces expanding ground operations while blocking humanitarian aid. Israeli officials estimate Hamas still has over 25,000 fighters. The Trump administration has given Columbia University a deadline to place its Middle Eastern studies department under academic receivership. A French scientist was reportedly denied U.S. entry over private criticisms of Trump’s research policies. Meanwhile, a leaked memo shows the Social Security Administration may limit its toll-free customer service line, despite previous denials and Tesla is recalling nearly all 46,000 Cybertrucks due to exterior hardware issues.

Today’s Headlines: Trump called his talk with Zelensky about the Ukraine ceasefire “very good,” as U.S. and Russian officials prepare to meet in Riyadh. Meanwhile, his administration is considering giving up the U.S. military’s top NATO command role, held by an American general since WWII, while the Pentagon plans to cut 60,000 civilian jobs, many held by veterans. The Fed held interest rates steady but signaled two cuts later this year, citing slower growth and inflation driven by tariffs. The DOGE-led takeover of the U.S. Institute of Peace is now facing legal challenges. In the courts, a judge ordered Trump officials to prove they followed a deportation ban, another blocked the administration’s transgender military ban, and a third halted the EPA’s attempt to cancel $20 billion in climate grants. And finally, 63,000 newly declassified pages on JFK’s assassination just dropped—happy sleuthing!

Today’s Headlines: The ceasefire in Gaza has officially collapsed after months of stalled negotiations. The IDF launched widespread strikes, while the U.S. blamed Hamas for rejecting past proposals and refusing to return hostages. Meanwhile, Trump and Putin’s highly anticipated call resulted in a 30-day ceasefire on energy infrastructure in Ukraine and Russia, suspension of U.S. aid to Ukraine, and negotiations for a maritime ceasefire. The Kremlin also claimed they discussed hosting a U.S.-Russia hockey series. At the same time, the Trump administration terminated a U.S.-funded initiative tracking Russian war crimes, including the deportation of Ukrainian children. Trump faced rare criticism from Chief Justice John Roberts for calling for a judge’s impeachment after a ruling against his deportation policy. Separately, a federal judge blocked Elon Musk’s attempt to shut down USAID, ruling it unconstitutional, and another judge ordered the Department of Education to restore grants cut during the administration’s DEI purge. In a controversial move, Trump fired two Democratic members of the FTC, who argue the decision was illegal. And finally, NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore returned to Earth after an unplanned nine-month stay on the ISS due to a failed test flight.

منذ 5 أيام7:24

7:24

Today’s Headlines: Fallout from the Trump administration’s use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act continues, as a judge demanded the DOJ provide a sworn timeline after officials refused to clarify whether they defied a court order halting deportations. Border czar Tom Homan dismissed the ruling, insisting deportation flights didn’t need to turn around. Meanwhile, a Brown University medical professor was deported to Lebanon over alleged ties to Hezbollah, and a German green card holder was detained at an ICE facility without explanation. Trump also declared that Biden’s pardons—including those for January 6th defendants, Dr. Fauci, and General Mark Milley—are invalid because they were signed using autopen, despite it being a long-standing practice. Today, Trump will speak with Putin about Ukraine’s ceasefire, claiming that key aspects of a peace deal—including land divisions and power plants—are already settled. Meanwhile, over 100,000 people in Serbia protested against their pro-Russia president, prompting resignations within the government. Back in the U.S., Texas filed its first criminal abortion charges against a Houston-area woman and midwife under its 2022 ban, with penalties including heavy fines and potential prison time. In contrast, Harvard announced a major financial aid expansion, making tuition, housing, and other costs free for families earning under $200K per year.

Today’s Headlines: Donald Trump gave a speech at the Department of Justice, railing against the media, vowing "accountability" for his enemies, and bragging about firing James Comey and pardoning January 6 defendants. Attorney General Pam Bondi warns that anyone messing with Tesla better "watch out" because the DOJ is coming for them. Trump also invoked the rarely used Alien Enemies Act to deport five Venezuelan nationals he claimed were gang members, but a federal judge temporarily blocked their removal after the administration had already deported 250 other supposed gang members before the ruling took effect. Meanwhile, a judge put a hold on part of Trump’s executive order targeting law firm Perkins Coie for its role in 2016 opposition research and Citibank revealed it was asked to freeze funds for nonprofits like Habitat for Humanity due to alleged criminal concerns tied to EPA grants. On the foreign policy beat, Trump ordered airstrikes against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen while increasing pressure on Iran over its nuclear program.

His administration is also facing legal battles over mass federal layoffs, with a judge ordering thousands of fired workers to be reinstated. Meanwhile, the economy takes a hit as the stock market drops 10% from its peak, fueled by Trump’s latest tariff threats on European alcohol. On the international stage, Putin claims he’s open to a Ukraine ceasefire but insists on discussing it with Trump, while the White House quietly explores military options to "reclaim" the Panama Canal. Back in the U.S., Arizona Congressman Raúl Grijalva’s passing shifts the balance of power in the House to Republicans.

منذ 20 يومًا7:24

7:24

Today’s Headlines: Ukrainian President Zelensky’s White House visit went completely off the rails on Friday after a press conference with Trump and VP Vance derailed a planned minerals deal. Things got heated when Zelensky explained why diplomacy doesn’t work with Putin — prompting Vance to falsely claim Zelensky had never thanked the U.S. for military aid. Trump then jumped in, warning of World War 3 and rambling about Hunter Biden. The closed-door meeting was canceled, and Zelensky was sent packing. Meanwhile, Russia ramped up attacks on Ukraine, the U.S. quietly shut down cyber operations against Russia, and Republican leaders suggested Zelensky should step down — even as he received a hero’s welcome in the UK, where PM Keir Starmer announced a new $4 billion aid package. Elsewhere, Trump signed an executive order making English the official U.S. language, Andrew Cuomo launched a NYC mayoral comeback campaign, and Lauren Sanchez will lead an all-female Blue Origin space flight with Gayle King and Katy Perry — which sounds like quite the group chat.
