Many members of Congress appear to be growing tired of the war with Iran. On Thursday the House voted to remove U.S. forces from the hostilities while the measure
is not legally binding, it does offer a rebuked, oppressive, and Trump over a war lawmakers never authorized. Tim Canis, a democratic senator from Virginia, details NPR, it's time to wind it down. "Both houses of Congress under Republican majority have said you got to end this war. So I think there is the possibility of court action.
But that would involve litigators and courts, and that's probably in somebody else's province right now.
“I think the most important thing we can do in Congress is use these appropriations tools”
which we're clearly granted by the Constitution." Ukrainian president, LoDimus Zelensky, says his country has bombed a ship traveling between Iran and Russia that was loaded with military supplies. As NPR's Greg Myri reports, the attack points to links between the war in Ukraine and the war in Iran.
President Zelensky said Ukraine carried out long-range strikes in the Caspian Sea that included hitting a ship that was "transporting military cargo" in cooperation with Iran. The president did not provide details. Russia and Iran both have a coastline on the Caspian and use the sea for trade. Meanwhile, Iran condemned the Ukrainian attack on what it called, and Iranian commercial
vessel. Iran said one sailor was killed and another injured. Russia and Iran have a history of military cooperation that includes Iran sending drones to Russia in recent years. In separate remarks, Zelensky said Russia is providing military intelligence to Iran.

“New wildfires in Oregon and Washington are blanketing parts of the Northwest in dense”
smoke. As NPR's Kirk Sigler reports, the wildfires are prompting a renewed round of their quality and health advisories. It's been smoky for weeks in eastern Oregon where massive range fires have blackened tens of thousands of acres.
Jenny Mo owns a popular bakery and has been doing what she can to keep replacing air filters to keep the smoke out. "I've got a family friend that he's on oxygen and he hasn't been able to leave his house now for two weeks." In the Southwest, some recent rains have helped clear the air, been whagners with the incident
command team on the Aspen Acres Fire, which has destroyed hundreds of homes near Pueblo, Colorado. The rain has given us a reprieve and will take it. That reprieve may be short-lived, most of the West has forecast a bacon heat for at least the next week.

Many Native American languages are at risk of vanishing, but NPR is Kaden Mills met
a 12-year-old in Michigan who's hoping to change that. In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Holden Hoy is building a robot that speaks the Ojibwe language.
"That was already a big fan of robotics and on Ojibwe, so I've always wanted to save the
Ojibwe language." Hoy's robot sort of resembles a mini R2D2 from Star Wars. If he was designed in Native American woodland florals, it's fun because you can have like a personalized little robot body on your shoulder, but it also teaches you Ojibwe. You can ask it things like, "How do you say bear in Ojibwe?"
And it'll respond. "Muck well, me and spare."
“Hoy says it's important to protect the language, because...”
"Generation after generation is based around this culture. The language is the culture." Kaden Mills and PR News, Sue St. Marie, Michigan.
