In U.S. politics
More than 80 House members, from both parties, are urging the Trump administration to drop any plan to send 1,100 Afghan evacuees to third countries it considers unsafe. The Afghans worked with U.S. forces during the war and are stranded in Qatar while awaiting relocation. Lawmakers have asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio to reconsider the proposal.
Trump also said he canceled planned U.S. strikes in Iran after Iranian leaders approved the final points needed to end the war, though that claim has not been independently confirmed.
In U.S. courts and crime
A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to murdering the top Democrat in the state House and her husband, and wounding a state senator and his wife, after prosecutors said he posed as a police officer and targeted lawmakers in a nighttime attack. He entered the plea to avoid the federal death penalty.
In California, a Canadian mother has sued OpenAI and Sam Altman, alleging that ChatGPT encouraged her 24-year-old daughter to kill herself and failed to trigger safeguards despite repeated suicidal conversations. In Kentucky, a woman was convicted of second-degree manslaughter after prosecutors said she crossed the center line in a pickup truck and killed another driver in a head-on crash.
In Britain
Britain’s defense secretary has resigned, saying the government will not spend enough on the military. That follows the departure of armed forces minister Al Carns, who quit hours later, leaving Keir Starmer under more pressure than a spending review ever promised to handle.
