- TRUMP ORDERS REMOVAL OF ‘DIVISIVE NARRATIVES’ FROM SMITHSONIAN EXHIBITS: President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing the Smithsonian Institution to eliminate exhibits deemed to promote “improper ideology” or “divisive, race-centered narratives.” The order prohibits funding for programs that “degrade shared American values” or “divide Americans based on race.” Critics argue this move undermines academic freedom and the comprehensive portrayal of American history.
- JUDGE MANDATES PRESERVATION OF SIGNAL CHATS ON YEMEN STRIKES: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to preserve messages exchanged on the Signal app by senior officials concerning military operations against Houthi rebels in Yemen. The ruling responds to concerns that the app’s auto-delete feature could lead to the loss of critical records, potentially violating the Federal Records Act.
- TRUMP WITHDRAWS ELISE STEFANIK’S UN AMBASSADOR NOMINATION: President Trump has withdrawn the nomination of Representative Elise Stefanik for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. The decision aims to maintain the Republican Party’s narrow majority in the House of Representatives, as losing Stefanik’s seat could jeopardize legislative priorities. Stefanik will continue her role in Congress, emphasizing her commitment to serving her constituents.
