Former President Donald Trump issued calls to arms − of sorts − to his followers ahead of his appearance in a Miami court this week. Also in the news: Ukraine has recaptured a fourth village in a refreshed offensive against Russia and the 2023 Tony Awards delivered performances from fan-favorite shows like "Funny Girl" ...and a few gripes about Ron DeSantis. |
Now, here we go with Monday's news. |
How will Trump's court appearance unfold? |
When Trump made the dramatic announcement on his social media platform last week that he'd been indicted by the Department of Justice, he made sure to issue a vague call to arms, sharing with his supporters he will appear at a federal court in Miami on Tuesday. |
But what, exactly, might happen on Tuesday before, during and after Trump's initial court appearance as the first president in history to face federal felony charges? |
Ukraine claims recapture of 4th village |
Ukrainian military officials said Monday their forces have retaken another village from Russian forces, signaling incremental successes in ramped-up counteroffensive operations against Moscow's more than 15-month invasion of Ukraine. A day earlier, Ukrainian officials said three other small villages had been liberated, although Russian authorities did not confirm the Russian losses. The move also comes as the Kakhovka dam's breach has most likely disrupted the usual supply of fresh water to Crimea, forcing Russian authorities to impose rationing, use reservoirs, drill new wells and bring in bottled water to meet the needs of the population in the occupied peninsula, the British Defense Ministry said.

Tanker fire causes part of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia to collapse |
A heavily traveled segment of the East Coast's main north-south highway is closed indefinitely, authorities said. The closure comes after a tanker truck fire shut down I-95 in both directions after an elevated portion of the heavily traveled interstate collapsed in Philadelphia on Sunday morning, state officials said, raising concerns about possible travel headaches throughout the Northeast. The fire took about an hour to get under control and in a Sunday night update, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said at least one vehicle was still trapped under the collapsed roadway but there were no immediate reports of injuries.

Tony Awards 2023 top moments |
Oscar winner Ariana DeBose returned to host this year's Tony Awards, which featured no scripted banter during the presentation of awards. The performance-heavy show was led by standout numbers from Ben Platt of "Parade" and Lea Michele of "Funny Girl." "Kimberly Akimbo," a musical about a 16-year-old girl played by Victoria Clark who ages four times faster than the average person, picked up the night's biggest trophy for best musical, along with prizes for best actress for Clark, best score and best book. And huge cheers came from the audience when "The Gilded Age" star Denée Benton compared 2024 hopeful Ron DeSantis to a "grand wizard," referring to a leader of the Ku Klux Klan. Read more |
