Mamdani says NYC can’t arrest Netanyahu but the federal government should

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said late Tuesday that the city would not be able to execute an arrest warrant issued by the world’s top war-crimes court for Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, but urged the federal government to do so. In a video, Mamdani described the Israeli prime minister as a “war criminal” and said he is not welcome in New York City. “It is clear that we do not have the independent legal authority to enforce this warrant,” he said in the video posted on X. “The federal government however does and I call on them to join the ICC and execute ...

DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday honored the lives of four U.S. service members who were killed in the Middle East and returned to their families at an air force base in Delaware.

House Republicans push $95 billion package for the Iran war and Trump’s priorities

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Mike Johnson will try to advance a Republican-only $95 billion budget proposal Wednesday, a long-shot effort to fund the Iran war and other White House priorities over Democratic objections as a GOP priority before the midterm elections. House Republicans are divided over the plan, with conservatives wary because there are no offsetting budget cuts. But the GOP leadership is pushing ahead, viewing the go-it-alone process as the best chance to usher President Donald Trump’s priorities through the split Congress, despite skepticism in the ...

Trump says US will destroy a bridge or power plant for each Iranian attack in the Strait of Hormuz

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump warned Wednesday that the U.S. will destroy one bridge or power plant each time Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump’s latest threat to target civilian infrastructure came as the unpopular war spirals with no clear off-ramp, threatening further worldwide economic disruption and sending fuel prices up ahead of midterm U.S. elections this fall. Both sides have dug in on their dispute over the strait, a crucial waterway for global energy that remains largely closed because of Iranian attacks. Seyed Abbas ...

Messy primaries plague both major political parties, causing chaos and confusion in the midterms

NEW YORK (AP) — When midterm campaigning began, each major political party had a clear game plan. Republicans would emphasize border security and an economy that was finally shaking off years of high inflation. Democrats would focus attention on a deeply unpopular President Donald Trump to energize their voters. It hasn’t worked out that way. With a little more than three months to go, both parties are grappling with self-inflicted wounds and messy missteps that have complicated their paths to victory in key races. Trump steered the country into a war against Iran with no end in ...

Prosecutor focuses on who knew about singer D4vd’s relationship with teen girl before her killing

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A money manager for D4vd testified Wednesday that he had heard only the first name of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the 14-year-old girl the singer is charged with killing, before her dismembered body was found in the trunk of a car. The testimony from Benjamin Gregor came on the second day of a preliminary hearing in a Los Angeles court to determine whether there is enough evidence to put D4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, on trial on charges of murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14 and mutilation of a body. “I knew her first name,” ...
