Lyme from NPR News in Washington, on Corva Coleman, the Trump administration ...
together a 15-point ceasefire plan intended to stop the war with Iran.
“The proposal was first reported by the New York Times, and Israel's Channel 12, which has”
published a summary. And beer's not seen a copy of the plan, but a person briefed on it, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, told NPR the published summary, reflected in early version, and that changes have been made. It's not clear what those changes are.
However, President Trump is still building U.S. military strength in the Middle East. The Pentagon is sending two to 3,000 troops from the Army's 82nd Airborne, based in North Carolina, to the region, and beer's cool Lawrence has more. These soldiers come from the division's immediate response force, which is able to mobilize within 18 hours to go anywhere worldwide to do a variety of different missions, along with
the two marine expeditionary units that are already sailing toward the Persian Gulf. This could bring about six to 8,000 American ground troops and their supporting troops in close proximity to Iran. And beer's quill Lawrence reporting. Top Senate Republicans are circulating up proposal that would end the more than month-long
shutdown of the Homeland Security Department. The President Trump and Senate Democrats are indicating they don't support the offer, and beer's Sam Greenglass has more. The negotiations have felt like whip-lash, Senate Majority Leader John Thun said his colleagues had sold President Trump on a plan to fund the HS, except for the ice unit responsible for removal operations.
That could be done later in a party-line reconciliation bill, along with parts of the voting law overhaul Trump wants. Maybe you can just say that my colleagues were more persuasive than I was. A few minutes later, Trump threw cold water on that.
“"I think any deal they make, I'm pretty much not happy with it."”
And minority leader Chuck Schumer declined to say his caucus would back the deal as is. "As I said, we need reforms." Senate Democrats in the White House are continuing to exchange offers.

about the dangers of its platforms to children. And PR Shannon Bond has more. New Mexico's Attorney General sued Meta in 2023, alleging it created a "breeding ground for child predators on its apps, including Instagram and Facebook. Following a nearly seven-week trial, jurors agreed with the state.
They found Meta violated New Mexico's consumer protection law by hiding what it knew about risks to children's safety and mental health.
The jury ordered the company to pay $375 million in penalties based on thousands of violations.
“Meta says it works hard to keep people safe on its platforms.”
The company plans to appeal the verdict. Shannon Bond and PR News. Unwall Street in pre-market trading, doubt futures are higher. This is NPR. A Democratic candidate won a special state-house election in Florida yesterday,
Emily Gregory won the local house seed in the district that is also home to President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Trump had endorsed Gregory's Republican rival. But Gregory flipped the seat previously held by a Republican. Results have finally been tabulated in a primary election in North Carolina.
The president of North Carolina's state Senate Phil Berger, very narrowly lost his seat to a Republican challenger, Sam Page. Berger lost by only 23 votes. He also had been endorsed by President Trump. There are more older drivers on the road in the U.S. than ever before,
and BR's Joel Rose reports many families face hard choices about when it's time for aging loved ones to stop driving. States have policies that are supposed to stop risky drivers from renewing their licenses. But in practice, it often falls to adult children to decide when it's time to take the car keys away from an aging parent.
Jacqueline Hamilton struggled to convince her 94-year-old father to stop driving
and finally took matters into her own hands.
The hard part was if I didn't take the keys, then anything that would happen after that point would be my fault. Americans are keeping their driver's licenses for longer than ever before. In some cases too long, according to safety advocates. But crash rates for older drivers have been falling, and many are reluctant to give up driving
because they're afraid of losing their mobility. Joel Rose and PR News Washington. I get on Wall Street, down, futures are higher. I'm Corvaculman and PR News.
