This Senate appears to have narrowly rejected a resolution that would require congressional
“approval before the Trump administration makes any further attacks on Iran.”
The House is expected to vote on a similar measure tomorrow. The U.S. and Israel continued to intensify the bombing campaign of Iran and its forces today. A U.S. submarine sank in Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean. President Trump says the military is targeting Iran's nuclear program and leadership.
We're in a very strong position now and the leadership is just rapidly going, everybody that seems to want to be a leader of the end of dead.
The U.N. refugee agency estimates 100,000 people fled Tehran in the wars first two days.
Cutters says it's spoken to Iran and warned that Iranian attacks on the Gulf cannot go unanswered. As NPR's A.A. betrayer reports cutters, one of several of Iran's neighbors targeted in the war as Iran retaliates against U.S. troops in the region. Cutters hosts thousands of U.S. troops at a sprawling base that's been hit.
Iran insists its attacks are directed at U.S. interests in the region and not at other countries. But the cuttery readout of today's call said Prime Minister Sheikh Muhammad Al-Thani told Iran's foreign minister that facts on the ground clearly show Iranian missiles and drones have also targeted civilian areas as well as cutters gas production facilities.
The country's halted its gas production as a result.
The Prime Minister, according to the cuttery readout, also told Iran's foreign minister.
The attacks inflict harm on its neighbors and drag them into a war that is not theirs. He said cutter prefers diplomacy, but these aggression's quote cannot go unanswered until now Gulf Arab states have not responded militarily to Iran's attacks. A.A. B.B. Trawi NPR News, Dubai. The House oversight committee has voted to subpoena attorney general Pam Bondi to answer questions
over the Justice Department's handling of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking investigation, five Republicans joined Democrats supporting the move proposed by Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace of South Carolina. James Talloreco, an Austin area state lawmaker, won Texas's Democratic Senate primary. That win was partly fueled by Latino voters.
This growing part of Texas's electorate is not particularly aligned with either parties and PR's Ashley Lopez reports. Counties along Texas's southern border, which have very large Latino populations, were
“a key part of James Talloreco's defeat of Congresswoman Jasmine Croquette.”
Early turnout figure show he won about two thirds of the vote in those South Texas counties. He also garnered significant support among Latinos in metropolitan areas. This could be a worry for Texas Republicans who saw significant gains among those voters in 2024 and redrew congressional lines in their favor last year with the expectation that
most of these voters would continue to support the party. For debility was a key part of Talloreco's campaign, which is historically one of the most important issues for Latinos, Ashley Lopez and B.R. News. This is NPR News from Washington. A new report says Rhode Island Catholic clergy abused hundreds of children for decades while
church leaders minimize the scandal. The state's attorney general released the report saying at least 75 clergy molested more than 300 victims since 1950. Officials agreed to hand over records, but did not allow key people to be interviewed. The diocese says the report reflects its cooperation, but Smith's leads the public into
thinking the problems are ongoing. The IRS says about 40% of taxpayers have already filed their returns this year, and P.R.'s Scott Horsey reports the nation's top tax collector offered an update today on Capitol Hill. Frank B.R. News, who's running both the IRS and the Social Security Administration told
the House Ways and Means Committee some 55 million tax returns have already been filed
this year. So far the average refund is about $350 larger than this time last year, as Donald says taxpayers who asked for direct deposit are getting their refunds in an average of nine days.
“I think what you're finding is bigger refunds, quicker refunds, and an easier IRS to operate”
through. The IRS cut about 25% of its staff last year. The agency has reassigned some HR and IT staffers to assist taxpayers during this year's filing season. Scott Horsey and P.R. News, Washington.
A two-can-seeing flying around the Las Vegas desert has been captured by a bird rescue group. They've been trying to catch the bird for months since he escaped from his owner in November. Sam, the two-can flew into a garage where the homeowner's trapped it until a rescue group could come.
