The U.S. has signed a preliminary deal with the wrong that extends their ceasefire
“for 60 days after President Trump withdrew the United States from the 2050 nuclear”
accord with Iran in his first term. Questions persist over whether 60 days will be enough time to agree on the terms for ending their war. For Iran, that includes sanctions relief for the U.S. assurances Iran abandons nuclear weapons ambitions, here's Vice President J.D. Vance.
The nuclear weapons program is destroyed. It is gone. If Iranians decided tomorrow to build a nuclear weapon, they simply don't have the capacity in order to do that. What we're trying to ensure is they don't rebuild that capacity, not just a year from now,
two years from now, but many, many years from now, so that our children never have to worry
about a state sponsor of terrorism having a nuclear weapon. Translating the White House press briefing today, two researchers at MIT say they believe
“they have uncovered how a top secret Russian missile actually flies, and here's Jeff”
Brumfield says Moscow, as fire the missile at Ukraine in October, Russia launched what it said was a nuclear-powered missile. The missile flew for almost 15 hours, far longer than a regular missile could. Jake Hechla is a researcher at MIT. He says nuclear-powered flight is something that is possible, but wildly expensive and very
dangerous. Hechla and his colleagues got camp analyzed the missile. They believe it's sucking air directly through its nuclear core and spewing radioactivity as it flies. As a result, anyone living near is at enormous risk, potentially.
And the missile, listen to all that useful, he says, despite being nuclear-powered, it's relatively flow-moving and easy to shoot down, Jeff Brumfield and PR news.
Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama opened a new chapter

turned out today for the dedication of the Obama Presidential Center. Chris and Pierre's Don Gagne, it's traditional for former presidents to create a library to house records and documents from their presidency and to highlight their time in the White House. The Obama Center is different.
First off, it's not a presidential library, the logic being that records from the Obama era were digital and are accessible online. There's a museum, but the center also features a branch of the Chicago Public Library. There's ample park space, even a regulation and B.A. size basketball court, not invited President Donald Trump who's known to regularly insult and demean Obama in speeches and

Federal prisoners have the right to file a grievance to seek to solve a problem that could include stopping abuse by a guard or another prisoner or asking for urgent medical care. NPR's Joseph Shapiro reports an analysis by the Marshall Project and NPR shows the system
rarely works in favor of prisoners.
NPR and the Marshall Project looked at records of nearly a million cases going back 24 years.
In 2023, the last full year of records fewer than 2% of cases got decided in favor of the prisoner and just 1% of appeals for medical care. Many cases get decided on technicalities, not on their merits. Like a woman at a California prison who complains she was being sexually abused by a corrections officer.
But her grievance was denied, she said, because she mispelled the guard's last name. The Federal Bureau of Prison said the system is set up to "solve problems" and be responsive to issues raised by inmates, Joseph Shapiro and PR news.
