Lying from NPR news in Washington, on Corva Coleman, President Trump is postp...
to hit Iranian power plants until Friday.
“He cited, quote, "productive talks with Iran, but Iran denies the talks are happening."”
And Piersembley Feng reports some Iranians are anxious, the U.S. might end its war against Iran. Iran's government continues to maintain and your total telecommunications blackout. But Iranian living just north of Tehran managed to send a text to NPR that it was quote unacceptable for the U.S. to end the war without toppling Iran's government
first. Iranians, they wrote, "only tolerating war, hoping that it will lead to their freedom." Another Iranian to participate in mass-integ government demonstrations this past winter says the government killed three of his friends this January in a crackdown, beating him
to believe a popular uprising would never end the Iranian regime.
"Only God will enter." He says, "Our only hope is that Trump and BB speaking of Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu make the right moves." Emily Feng and Piers' news fan Turkey.
“The Senate is confirmed Mark Wayne Mullin is the new Homeland Security Secretary.”
The vote was mostly along party lines, and Piers' Elena Moore reports Mullin takes over an agency that's been partially shut down for more than a month. It's been a busy few weeks for Mullin, who was tapped to replace Christy Nome as Secretary of DHS at the beginning of March. He's fed through the confirmation process, but now Mullin faces a fresh set of challenges.
The Congress is scheduled to go on recess at the end of the week, but party leaders remain
at odds over how to end the DHS shutdown. Trump is also pressuring lawmakers to prioritize passing the Save America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote. So if lawmakers go on recess without a deal, Mullin may be taking over a department where nearly half its workers aren't getting paid.
Elena Moore and Piers' news. The partial DHS shutdown means TSA agents who work airport security lines have not been paid for weeks.
“They've called out, and that's led to some significant weight times at some airports.”
One of the people caught in the airport security lines was a specialist from the National Transportation Safety Board. She was trying to fly from Houston to a crash seen at New York's LaGuardia airport. NDSB Chair, Jennifer Hammondy, says her office, had to beg airport authorities to let the specialist through.
Having the New York LaGuardia crash, Hammondy says investigators have the data recorders. We have the CVR and FDR. We've also collected and have continued to collect surveillance video. We've asked the Federal Aviation Administration who will be providing that as the replay of the event, as the airport's surface detection equipment, replay of the event.
They're looking at why an airport fire truck was cleared to cross the runway, just as a jet had landed. You're listening to NPR. Military officials in the South American nation of Colombia say a military plane crash has killed at least 66 people.
A military cargo plane went down yesterday after it took off in southwestern Colombia near the border with Peru and Ecuador. New study finds the number of abortions in the U.S. was the same in 2025 compared to the year previous. NPR Salinas Simmons' Duffin explains there's one major reason why that's true despite
abortion bands in 13 states. A new report from the Gootmucker Institute finds there were 1,126,000 abortions provided by clinicians in 2025. That's pretty much unchanged from 2024. Isaac Meto-Zimit is one of the reports authors.
There were shifts though in where those abortions were occurring. The biggest shift was that there were more abortions in states with abortion bands. That's because the Food and Drug Administration allows abortion medication to be prescribed through telemedicine and sent through the mail. Abortion opponents are trying to end the practice through court challenges and new laws.
Salinas Simmons Duffin and PR News Officials in Port Arthur Texas have told some city residents to shelter in place after an explosion at a Valera oil refinery. Port Arthur is on the Gulf close to the border with Louisiana. The Port Arthur Mayor says no one was hurt in the blast. Forecasters say parts of California will keep getting record high temperatures today.
That warmth is spreading east. Temperatures could get closed in 90 degrees from Texas to the Ohio Valley by tomorrow. I'm Corva Coleman and PR News.
