President Trump on Sunday, August 2, explained his decision to cancel a new round of major strikes on Iran last weekend, saying that U.S. allies in the Middle East and Iran itself had asked for an alternative to the aggression. Speaking with reporters the next day, Trump returned to the subject of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, criticizing the decision by District of Columbia U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro to drop the case against Olympic canoeist David Hearn for allegedly vandalizing the pool. On Thursday, the president signed executive orders aimed at limiting birthright citizenship, expressing displeasure at the Supreme Court's reversal of an earlier action from his administration with similar goals. #Trump #WhiteHouse #Iran #Pirro…

Roughly 200 passengers and crew aboard a Delta flight bound for Orlando evacuated down inflatable slides on a taxiway at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport after smoke filled the cockpit, and the FAA says it will investigate. Delta Flight 2204 had barely left the ground Saturday morning when the crew reported fumes in the flight deck, declared an emergency, and turned back toward Atlanta. The aircraft lifted off shortly before 7:30 a.m. and was back on the ground by about 8 a.m., landing not on a runway but on a taxiway at the nation's busiest airport. Within minutes, at least three inflatable evacuation slides deployed, and dozens of passengers clutching carry-on bags lined up along the pavement waiting for buses to ferry…Open
Mayor Zohran Mamdani acknowledged that New York City dismissed dozens of Haitian employees who lost work authorization after federal courts cleared the Trump administration's termination of Temporary Protected Status, a program the government itself defines as never meant to be permanent.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani acknowledged that New York City dismissed dozens of Haitian employees who lost work authorization after federal courts cleared the Trump administration's termination of Temporary Protected Status, a program the government itself defines as never meant to be permanent. Mamdani's office released a statement Friday confirming that the city reviewed the work authorization of Haitian TPS holders on its payroll and separated from those who could not show an alternative legal right to work. The mayor framed the move as compelled by federal law, not chosen by City Hall, a distinction that did little to soften the outcome for the workers who lost their jobs. The dismissals followed two court decisions that, together, removed…Open

Max Miller's attorney says he alone is responsible for accidentally including a sensitive photo of Miller's two-year-old daughter in a Dropbox folder the congressman shared publicly online, a mistake now fueling calls for Miller's resignation and a formal House Ethics Committee investigation.

Ohio Rep. Max Miller's attorney says he alone is responsible for accidentally including a sensitive photo of Miller's two-year-old daughter in a Dropbox folder the congressman shared publicly online, a mistake now fueling calls for Miller's resignation and a formal House Ethics Committee investigation. Miller posted the folder on X on August 2 alongside an almost-20-minute video denying domestic abuse allegations made by his former wife, Emily Moreno, the daughter of U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio. The folder was meant to contain documents supporting Miller's defense. Instead, it included a photo of his toddler daughter that Moreno's attorneys now allege could constitute child sexual abuse material. Attorney Aaron Minc, who assembled the…Open
A group of conservative figures led by Tucker Carlson and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is openly building toward a third-party presidential bid rooted in opposition to the Iran war, a move that polling suggests would damage Republicans far more than Democrats.

A group of conservative figures led by Tucker Carlson and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is openly building toward a third-party presidential bid rooted in opposition to the Iran war, a move that polling suggests would damage Republicans far more than Democrats. Greene posted a statement this month on X alongside an image of herself with Rep. Thomas Massie, Carlson, and former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent. The message framed the group as the vanguard of a new political movement, one that accuses President Trump of abandoning his campaign pledge to avoid new foreign conflicts. Just the News reported on the growing third-party chatter and its potential electoral consequences. Greene's post left little room for…Open

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used a Sunday television appearance to declare Democrats unified heading into the midterms, but a growing faction inside her own party is spending millions to stop the socialist wing she represents.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used a Sunday television appearance to declare Democrats unified heading into the midterms, but a growing faction inside her own party is spending millions to stop the socialist wing she represents. Ocasio-Cortez sat down with ABC News' "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl on August 9, fresh off Dr. Abdul El-Sayed's primary victory in Michigan's U.S. Senate race. El-Sayed, a progressive who defeated centrist Rep. Haley Stevens despite millions in super PAC spending aimed at branding him too extreme, won with less than 50 percent of the vote. Ocasio-Cortez endorsed El-Sayed in July and campaigned alongside him in Michigan , appearing in ads and joining him and Sen. Bernie Sanders at The People V. The Powerful…Open

Iran's top security body has handed Washington a sweeping list of eight conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, demands that range from a full military withdrawal to war reparations, with a critical negotiation deadline now days away. Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council and a commander in the Revolutionary Guard, declared through Iran's state news agency IRNA that the strait will not reopen until the United States "corrects its behavior." The demands, reported by the Daily Mail , amount to a maximalist opening position from a regime that has kept one of the world's most important shipping lanes largely shut since the conflict began in late February. Zolghadr reports directly to Iran's Supreme…Open

Former Smiths frontman Morrissey has canceled a four-show Las Vegas residency citing vague "logistical issues", the latest in a pattern of scrapped concerts stretching back more than a year. Ticket holders for the 67-year-old singer's August dates at Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas received an email Friday telling them the shows were off. The cancellation notice, first reported by Page Six , offered no meaningful explanation beyond a boilerplate phrase that has become a recurring feature of Morrissey's touring schedule. The email read, in part: "Due to unforeseen logistical issues, the scheduled Las Vegas residency cannot take place." Shows had been set for August 14, 15, 18, and 19. Wynn Las Vegas scrubbed the dates from its…Open
Anthony Michael Hall says the late director John Hughes talked seriously about reuniting the five detention-room characters of The Breakfast Club as working adults in their thirties, a sequel that never made it past a phone call.

Anthony Michael Hall says the late director John Hughes talked seriously about reuniting the five detention-room characters of The Breakfast Club as working adults in their thirties, a sequel that never made it past a phone call. Hall, who played Brian "The Brain" Johnson in the 1985 film, disclosed the conversation during an appearance this week on The Rich Eisen Show. About seven minutes into the interview, Hall described a phone call from roughly 1988 in which Hughes laid out the broad strokes of a follow-up: the same five high schoolers, older now, reunited somehow in the workforce. The late comedian John Candy was also on the line, Hall said. The call lasted a couple of hours, and Hughes used part of it to float the sequel idea,…Open
