"Live from NPR News in Washington on Corvo Coleman, it's been at least 60 day...
Trump and Israel attacked Iran. The war powers resolution of 1973 says a president must
“get authorization from Congress within 60 days of starting hostilities. Without that authorization,”
the president must withdraw U.S. troops. Yesterday Defense Secretary Pete Heggseth told Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kain, that 60-day timeline is on hold. "We are in a ceasefire right now, which our understanding means the 60-day clock pauses or stops in a ceasefire." "So, you're not in. That's our understanding, just so you know." "Okay, well, I do not believe the statute would support that."
Separately, in Article 1, the U.S. Constitution specifically gives Congress the right to declare war not the president. Congress has funded most of the Department of Homeland Security. The House adopted a bill passed five weeks ago by the Senate to fund most of DHS. It leaves out immigration operations, but those are currently paid for by money included in last year's big, beautiful bill that President Trump supported. The Senate has passed a resolution banning lawmakers
“from betting on prediction markets. NPR's Bobby Allen reports on growing fears the popular platforms”
are being used for insider trading. "It's already illegal for members of Congress to use non-public information to trade on prediction markets, but now the Senate has gone a step further and barred senators from using the platforms at all. The Justice Department recently indicted a special forces army soldier for allegedly using classified information about the arrest of Venezuela's Niklas Maduro to make $400,000 on the site polymarket. And Kalshi,
another prediction market site, vined and suspended three congressional candidates last week for betting on their own campaigns. The Trump administration has taken a light touch approach to the prediction market industry, which the President's son Donald Trump Jr. has invested in. Bobby Allen and PR news. "Big tick company Apple has reported better than expected earnings in the most recent quarter, but as NPR's John Roach reports, Apple is running into some
“supply chain constraints." Apple says it's hit in all-time high in terms of active devices”
in use at 2.5 billion worldwide, and its revenue was up. CEO Tim Cook told an earnings call
its flagship iPhone had an excellent quarter with sales up 22%. But Apple said the company faced supply chain constraints for its iPhone and Mac businesses. Unprecedented investment and artificial intelligence has pushed demand for memory chips through the roof. That's caused memory chip prices to sore. And Cook said he doesn't see the supply crunch easing. He expects significantly higher memory costs, which will impact Apple's business. Still, executives projected

The suspect charged with trying to kill President Trump last Saturday at the White House correspondent, Stinner, has agreed to remain in jail. Prosecutors have also released a video of coal all-in from the event, saying it shows the moment he tried to attack. A terror suspect
is expected to appear in a London court today. He is accused of stabbing two Jewish men on Wednesday. One victim has been released from the hospital, the other remains in stable condition, and PR's law and frayer has more from London. The 45-year-old suspect to British citizen is charged with two counts of attempted murder. Police say he'd been referred to counter terrorism officials in the past, and had recently been released from psychiatric care. Jewish people protested outside
the Prime Minister's office accusing him of failing to protect them. Police have boosted security at synagogues and the government raised to the country's terror alert level, from substantial to severe, the highest in more than four years indicating another attack is highly likely in the next six months. Government officials say they're also considering banning Gaza demonstrations, some of which the country's chief rabbi has called anti-Semitic and irresponsible.
Lauren Frayer and PR News London. The elusive British street artist, Banksy, is claiming responsibility for a new statue. It appeared suddenly in Central London this week. The statue is a man striding on top of a platform holding out a flag, but the flag is blowing in his face. You can't see his head at all. Commentators on Banksy's online sites suggest the statue is about quote-blind patriotism. This is NPR.
