Quick look at Tuesday's news: |
Israel-Iran truce already under pressure |
Israel accused Iran on Tuesday of already violating a ceasefire deal announced earlier this morning by President Donald Trump. |
Things changed quickly: President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire early Tuesday in a social media post and urged both countries not to violate it. But Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel had detected Iranian missile launches and had ordered "high-intensity operations" targeting Iran. Iran insisted there were no missiles directed at Israel, Iran's Nour News reported. |
Cuomo's political comeback may be blocked by young progressive |
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo stands at the precipice of a remarkable political comeback — but a second-term Assembly member may be in his way. The mayoral race presents a stark contrast in its two leading candidates: Cuomo, 67, is the oldest and state Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani, 33, is its youngest. Each also represents an ideological pole in the 11-candidate field, with Cuomo − a centrist who appointed many Republicans to his gubernatorial administration − on its right, and Democratic Socialists of America-member Mamdani on its left. Winning would cap a startling resurrection for Cuomo, a three-term governor who resigned in 2021 amid condemnation for scandals. But Cuomo's lead in the race has gradually diminished. |
Tuesday marks the three-year anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and handed the right to abortion to individual states to determine. Now, access to abortion care is a patchwork across the country, with abortion bans currently in effect in 14 states, and other states still determining what access, if any, looks like. Meanwhile, 2024 saw historic abortion measures on the ballot in some states, like Missouri, as communities navigate what Dobbs means for them. |

Massive NOAA cuts could put weather forecasts in peril, lives in danger |
The Trump administration's plan to dismantle the nation's atmospheric research programs could set U.S. forecasting back a generation or more,a cadre of retired federal hurricane, weather and ocean scientists warns. The budget proposed by the White House for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is almost half what it was a year ago, and eliminates all funding for the agency's Office of Atmospheric Research, the division that coordinates and conducts weather and climate research across the nation. Experts say defunding the research program would carry great costs and put lives at risk when forecasts fall short. |
Burning on the soccer pitch |
The United States hosts the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup through the championship tilt on July 13 — just as summer temperatures reach a fever pitch across the country. Blistering heat is taking its toll on the tournament, with extreme temperatures causing major concerns for several clubs involved in the tournament. The heat wave is expected to persist until the middle of next week in some areas, meaning the Round of 16 knockout matches will likely suffer. Here are the FIFA Club World Cup games happening Tuesday. | Inter Miami's Luis Suarez (9) in action against Palmeiras during the second half at Hard Rock Stadium.
