House Republicans have introduced articles of impeachment against a federal judge in Atlanta following an investigation into allegations of misconduct. The resolution targets U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross, who serves on the federal bench in Georgia. Lawmakers say the move comes after investigators concluded that Ross engaged in inappropriate conduct and was not truthful during the investigation. According to the findings, the allegations include inappropriate interactions with a law enforcement officer at the courthouse, attendance at a partisan political event, and providing misleading information to investigators. The impeachment effort marks the latest instance of congressional scrutiny of members of the federal judiciary. Federal judges are appointed for life under the U.S. Constitution and can only be removed through the impeachment process. The House Judiciary Committee will now review the articles of impeachment and determine whether to advance the measure for consideration by the full House of Representatives. If approved by the House, the matter would move to the Senate, which would hold a trial and determine whether the judge should be removed from office. The judge has not publicly responded to the latest impeachment effort.

House Republicans have approved a nearly $70 billion funding package aimed at supporting federal immigration enforcement agencies through the remainder of President Donald Trump's term. The legislation provides funding for agencies including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection over the next three years. Supporters say the measure will strengthen border security, enhance enforcement operations, and provide resources for personnel tasked with carrying out federal immigration laws. The bill now heads to President Trump, who is expected to sign it into law. Republican lawmakers described the legislation as a key component of the administration's immigration and border security agenda. They argued the funding will help secure the nation's borders and support law enforcement efforts across the country. Democrats opposed the measure, arguing it significantly expands immigration enforcement activities and raises concerns about the administration's deportation policies. The funding package comes in addition to billions of dollars previously approved by Congress for immigration and border security initiatives as part of broader federal spending legislation. If signed into law, the measure will provide long-term funding certainty for immigration enforcement agencies through the end of Trump's current term in office.

A federal judge has blocked Alabama from carrying out an execution using nitrogen gas, ruling that the method violates constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment. U.S. District Judge Emily C. Marks issued the decision ahead of the scheduled execution of Jeffery Lee, an inmate convicted of capital murder in 1998. The ruling permanently prevents the state from using nitrogen gas to execute Lee. The decision follows a review of Alabama's execution procedures and comes after an appeals court directed the lower court to reconsider an earlier ruling in the case. In her order, Judge Marks noted that Alabama has other legally authorized methods available to carry out executions, including lethal injection and the electric chair. She also referenced the possibility of a firing squad, which Lee has indicated he would prefer over nitrogen gas. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall's office has already announced plans to appeal the ruling, setting up a new legal battle over the state's use of the execution method. Alabama was among the first states in the nation to adopt nitrogen gas as an execution option, a method supporters have argued is more humane than other forms of capital punishment. Critics, however, have raised concerns about potential suffering and constitutional issues. The case is expected to continue through the appeals process as state officials seek to overturn the ruling.

A new New York law requiring advertisers to disclose when artificial intelligence-generated people appear in advertisements is now officially in effect. The measure requires ads featuring so-called “synthetic performers” to clearly inform viewers when a person appearing in the advertisement was created using artificial intelligence rather than being a real actor or model. State officials say the law is designed to increase transparency as AI-generated images and videos become more common in marketing campaigns, social media content, and digital advertising. Under the law, advertisements that fail to provide the required disclosure could face financial penalties. Violators may be fined $1,000 for a first offense and $5,000 for subsequent violations. Supporters, including labor groups representing actors and performers, argue the law helps protect consumers and creative professionals by ensuring audiences know when AI-generated content is being used. Critics, however, contend the measure could create additional compliance requirements for advertisers and businesses while potentially slowing innovation in the rapidly evolving AI industry. The law includes several exemptions, including certain entertainment productions such as films, television programs, streaming content, and video games, as well as advertisements that use AI solely for language translation. New York officials describe the measure as one of the first laws in the nation aimed specifically at requiring disclosure of AI-generated performers in advertising.

He said the blockade remains firmly in place and is putting significant economic pressure on Iran. The president's comments come as tensions remain high in the region and negotiations with Iran continue.

A Trump administration initiative asking visitors to report national park displays they believe portray American history in a negative light has generated tens of thousands of responses from across the country. The effort is part of a broader push to ensure national parks present what the administration describes as a more uplifting and patriotic view of American history. Visitors were encouraged to submit feedback about exhibits, signs, and interpretive displays they encountered at park sites. According to reports, more than 35,000 responses have been submitted. While some visitors identified exhibits they viewed as politically motivated or overly critical of American history, many others used the opportunity to criticize the administration's review effort itself. The administration has provided limited details about how the feedback is being evaluated or what changes may ultimately result from the program. However, a preservation advocacy group known as Save Our Signs says at least 59 signs or interpretive displays at national park sites have already been modified, removed, or replaced since the initiative began. Supporters of the effort argue it promotes a more balanced presentation of American history, while critics contend it could lead to the removal of important historical context from public displays. The debate comes as national parks continue to serve millions of visitors each year and remain a focal point in broader discussions about how the nation's history is presented and interpreted.

Hong Kong authorities have filed criminal charges against seven individuals and two companies in connection with the city's deadliest fire in decades. The massive blaze erupted in November and swept through seven apartment buildings, killing 168 people and leaving many others injured or displaced. The tragedy prompted a wide-ranging investigation into the cause of the fire and the renovation work being conducted at the property. On Wednesday, officials announced a total of 25 charges stemming from the investigation. The allegations include manslaughter, conspiracy to defraud, money laundering, and tax evasion. Authorities said the charges are linked to a major renovation project at Wang Fuk Court, where investigators have been examining construction practices, financial records, and business dealings associated with the work. The case is being jointly pursued by police and Hong Kong's Independent Commission Against Corruption, which investigates public and private sector corruption. The accused individuals and companies were scheduled to appear in court Wednesday as legal proceedings move forward. The fire remains one of the deadliest disasters in Hong Kong's modern history and has sparked renewed scrutiny of building safety regulations, construction oversight, and accountability measures.

The speaker discusses the recent conviction of Carmelo Anthony, a young man who was found guilty of murdering a fellow student, and how this case highlights the common denominator between these groups: hate.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City police report that an NBA finals viewing party in Manhattan turned chaotic Monday. Dejected Knicks fans scaled light poles, pelted officers with objects, and ripped signs out of the street following the team’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs. President Donald Trump’s attendance at the game led police to close off a large area outside Madison Square Garden. Instead, about 7,000 people gathered at Bryant Park. While the party was mostly calm, some fans blocked traffic and refused to disperse. Police arrested eight people, and five officers suffered injuries. Mayor Zohran Mamdani emphasized that most fans watched peacefully.

The U.S. military says it has begun strikes against Iran following the crash of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter off the coast of Oman. In a statement posted to social media Tuesday, U.S. Central Command said the strikes would be “a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.” It comes after President Donald Trump blamed Iran for downing the helicopter and vowed that the U.S. would respond. Meanwhile, a bill to provide nearly $70 billion for immigration enforcement narrowly passed the House and now goes to Trump for his signature, fueling the administration’s deportation agenda for the remainder of his time in the White House.

MCKINNEY, Texas (AP) — A Texas teenager who prosecutors said provoked a 17-year-old athlete from a rival team before fatally stabbing him at a high school track meet has been found guilty of murder. Jurors on Tuesday convicted Karmelo Anthony in the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf. The killing last year stunned a booming Dallas suburb where the boys attended different schools. It quickly drew wider attention, in part because of social media posts about race. The now-19-year-old Anthony is Black. Metcalf was white. Prosecutors and defense attorneys told jurors the case had nothing to do with race. Prosecutors accused Anthony of egging on a confrontation after being asked to leave the tent of another track team. Anthony’s attorneys argued the teen was defending himself.

TORONTO (AP) — A former Air Canada pilot has been charged after flying for years without a proper license, Canadian police said Tuesday. Geoffrey Wall, of Barrie, Ontario, is alleged to have operated as an airline captain between 2009 and 2025 without a license to fly large commercial passenger planes, according to Peel Regional Police. He is said to have flown more than 900 flights domestically and internationally without the required license. Air Canada said Wall, 59, held a valid commercial pilot license, but was promoted to captain without the required airline transport pilot license. “This pilot had a 27-year career and we are alleging that since 2009 has been flying for years misrepresenting himself and his credentials to his employer and regulatory officials using fraudulent licensing documents,” deputy police chief Nick Milinovich said. “He rose to the position of pilot in command where for almost 17 year he flew Boeing 767s, 777s and 787s.” The airline said he was removed from active duty once it was discovered that he did not have the correct license and that it was voluntarily reported to Transport Canada, the regulator. The pilot is no longer employed by the airline. Police said anomalies were detected in a documentation check. Transport Canada contacted police earlier this year. Air Canada claimed safety was not compromised and an audit of its pilots found no other instances of non-compliance. “Safety was not compromised by this incident because all pilots at Air Canada undergo mandatory recurrent training every six months to validate their flying competency, including a flight check with a certified Transport Canada check-pilot every 12 months,” the airline said in a statement. “However, appropriate licensing is an essential layer of the airline industry’s multi-layered approach to safety, so Air Canada takes this matter with utmost seriousness.” The airline declined to comment further due to privacy law and an active criminal investigation. The airline, which did not name the pilot, said he has been fined by Transport Canada for not having the correct license to be an aircraft captain. Police also say the accused filed a false report to police about allegedly stolen pilot documentation.
