the U.S. and Iran launched fresh follies after President Trump announced a new effort
“to reopen the straight of her moves to ship traffic in Pierce Jackie Northam.”
It's hard to say exactly why Iran launched these attacks, but the timing of course suggests it has to do with the U.S. decision to launch this project freedom, you know, to try and open up the straight of her moves. And this great says the U.S. shooting down of some Iranian drones and missiles and attacking some smaller Iranians ships today. The U.A. is an ally of the U.S. and supports it in the war against Iran. And these attacks on the U.A. could be Iran's way of retaliating.
And Pierce Jackie Northam and a social media post Iran's foreign minister warned that the U.S. as well as the U.A.E. should be wary of being dragged back into a quackmire. President Trump posted a small business summit Monday and touted his economic agenda. And Pierce Deeper's shiver-on reports that Americans outlook on the economy and
“Trump's handling of it have declined as the war with Iran is dragged on.”
Trump has continually said the war in Iran would not last more than six weeks. Now, he's message to Americans is that the war isn't lasting as long as other conflicts. "Winter like what six weeks?" They said, "What's taking so long? We were in Vietnam 19 years. We're in Iraq for many as 10 years, 12 years." In the meantime, Trump's approval rating on his handling of the economy has declined, even among his supporters. Trump also lamented that the Supreme Court
ruled against him on many of his tariff policies. He insisted that his tariff policies made the U.S. rich, but the U.S. government is now paying businesses back billions of dollars after the court said Trump's tariffs were unconstitutional. Deeper shiver-on and PR news, the White House. "You have Supreme Court has paused a lower court ruling that restricted telehealth access
“to the abortion medication, Mr. Preston. Montana Public Radio is here in Bolton reports”
if that decision is ultimately appalled women in rural states like Montana could be affected the most." Medication abortions in the U.S. typically use two drugs, Mr. Preston and Mr.
Preston. That combination is used in roughly 85 percent of abortions overseen by planned
parenthood of Montana. CEO Martha Fuller says most women in the state would have to drive 90 miles or more if they couldn't get those medications in the mail. "You're talking about people who may have other children, they might have jobs, they can't get time off from, they may have to figure out transportation." Fuller says their doctors are preparing for the possibility of shifting to using only misoprostal, which can still be mailed. But that can come
with additional side effects for NPR news, Amerin Bolton and Columbia Falls Montana. This is NPR news. The state of New Mexico is asking a judge to declare the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp a public nuisance. The state wants Meta to pay $3.7 billion and overhaul its platforms to protect young users. Opening statements began Monday and the second
phase of the landmark trial in the first phase, jurors ordered $375 million in civil penalties
against Meta. After determining that Meta knowingly harmed the mental health of children and concealed what it knew about sexual exploitation on his platforms. A new plan for managing the Colorado River would make it much easier for cities in Arizona to tolerate cuts to their water supply. From member station KJZZ, Alex Hager reports proposals was co-signed by Arizona, California, and Nevada. Those states would leave water in the Colorado River as part of an effort
to prop up dangerously low reservoirs. Arizona would still have to take cuts, but they would not be as deep as suggested in a previous plan. Patrick Dent is with the Central Arizona project which brings Colorado River water to the Phoenix area. That's the difference between devastating, impossible to manage cuts that wouldn't have real impacts on some of those communities, residents, to something that's manageable. The plan would still need approval from federal water
managers, but they appear likely to pass at least parts of the new proposal. For NPR News, I'm Alex Hager, in Phoenix.
