A measles outbreak in Bangladesh killed more than 750 children, driven in part by a disruption in vaccine procurement after the country's interim government took power.

The U.S. military completed a third consecutive night of strikes on Iran amid escalating tensions.
An ICE officer shot and killed a motorist in Biddeford, Maine — but the victim wasn't even the person named on the warrant. Sen. Angus King got that information directly from Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen, raising urgent questions about accountability.
Biddeford, Maine is a city of just over 20,000 people with deep immigrant roots — and within hours of the ICE shooting, hundreds of protesters took to the streets. A community that felt insulated from this kind of violence suddenly found itself at the center of a national crisis.
The Supreme Court struck down the president's sweeping import taxes, and now the government is footing an $80 billion refund bill. While the administration scrambles to impose new tariffs, the fiscal fallout from the old ones is still being tallied.
Nine months into the fiscal year, the U.S. is more than $1.3 trillion in the red — and the interest bill alone has already surpassed $1 trillion. That single line item now costs more than virtually every government program except Social Security.
Marco Rubio is going after the International Criminal Court — not just opposing it, but actively working to tear it down. He says the ICC wages war on the U.S. through law, not weapons, and that American service members could face prosecution. Critics note the court was built precisely for countries that refuse accountability.
Sam Neill, the beloved New Zealand actor who made paleontologist Alan Grant a household name in Jurassic Park, has died at 78. His career spanned five decades and crossed every genre — from art-house cinema to prestige TV, including Peaky Blinders.
After a third consecutive night of U.S. military strikes on Iran, Tehran is hitting back hard. Bahrain's missile alert system went off for a third time, and Iran targeted two UAE-linked tankers, killing one person and wounding eight others. The region is on edge.
The House passed a bill to make daylight saving time permanent by a 308–117 bipartisan vote. The last serious push was in 2022 when the Senate approved the Sunshine Protection Act, but the House never acted — now the tables are turned.

A bipartisan Senate group is pushing a Russia sanctions bill that would target top Russian leaders and impose tariffs on countries importing Russian oil. The bill is being framed as the capstone achievement of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, who reportedly closed a White House deal on it the day before he died.
ICE officers have been ordered to suspend most vehicle stops nationwide after agents shot and killed two men in their cars in Texas and Maine within a single week. The pause is temporary but will last until officers complete training on how to safely conduct traffic stops.
Former police officer and John Jay College lecturer Jillian Snyder says all recent ICE shooting incidents share one common thread: car stops. Immigration enforcement was built around targeted operations — finding a specific person — not ad hoc vehicle interdiction.
When Bangladesh's interim government decided to procure vaccines independently rather than through UNICEF — which distributes 2.2 billion doses a year — the attempt failed, clinics ran dry, and more than 750 children died in a measles outbreak. UNICEF's immunization chief says the delay was foreseeable and preventable.
