A federal appeals court has cleared the way for the Trump administration to replace informational panels at the slavery exhibit at the President’s House in Philadelphia. The decision is a legal victory for the administration as it moves to restore how the nation’s history is presented at federal historic sites.

The court issued a mandate Friday finalizing its June 18 ruling, allowing the Interior Department to move forward with replacing the exhibit panels at the President’s House, the nation’s first executive mansion, where President George Washington enslaved nine men and women.

The Interior Department sought immediate implementation of the ruling in a motion filed Thursday.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was celebrated by his Senate colleagues and others Sunday morning, after the news of his death Saturday evening.

Graham died after a “brief and sudden illness,” according to a statement from his office, and EMS radios showed reports of cardiac arrest. He had served in Congress for nearly 32 years. He was a U.S. representative from 1995-2003 and was then elected to the Senate, where he had served ever since.

“My heart is heavy this morning to learn of the passing of my friend and colleague, Senator Lindsey Graham,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said Sunday morning. “Lindsey’s long and dedicated service in the Air Force and in Congress carried him to far-flung regions of the world. He was a strong advocate for the United States and a strong ally to freedom-loving countries across the globe. He believed in the might of America to achieve good in the world and dedicated his life to advancing that cause.”

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) said she was “stunned” to hear the news.

For decades, video games have been a go-to hobby for Alyx Green. But in recent years, Green has felt priced out.

Instead of buying the biggest releases, the Illinois graduate student has opted for cheaper alternatives from smaller studios or turned to board and card games. In some cases, the 31-year-old watches videos of others playing hot games on YouTube in lieu of actually playing.

“The price has been going up,” Green said. “It’s just hard to keep up.”

U.S. consumers have for years grappled with “funflation,” used to describe the sharply higher prices for live experiences like concerts or sporting events that were halted during pandemic lockdowns.

With the exploding popularity of generative artificial intelligence, many open-source models are now available online for anyone to adapt for their task, such as generating product renderings in a certain artistic style.

But these models also find their way into the hands of nefarious actors who may optimize them to produce illegal content, like hate speech or child sexual abuse material (CSAM). This is a growing problem — the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received more than 1.5 million reports of AI-generated CSAM in 2025, an increase from 67,000 in 2024.

A California federal judge has awarded Hunter Biden $1.7 million in punitive damages in his defamation lawsuit against former Overstock.com CEO and Trump supporter Patrick Byrne.

U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson had said at a hearing in January that Byrne would face punitive damages after “failing to defend himself” against the claims by the controversial son of former President Joe Biden, Courthouse News Service reported.

The defamation stems from a claim by Byrne that the younger Biden had sought an $800 million bribe from Iran sometime in 2021. Biden sued the former CEO for publicly making that allegation.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) almost looks like a centrist now. That would have been a strange thing to say eight years ago, when she knocked off Rep. Joe Crowley, then the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House, and became the face of a new left flank that made party leaders nervous. She and the rest of the “Squad” were supposed to be the ceiling, the outer edge of what the activist base would tolerate, and Democratic leadership spent the next several years assuring anyone who would listen that the fever would break on its own, but it didn’t. If anything, the crop of candidates the party is nominating in 2026 makes Ocasio-Cortez, who still holds the same views that once alarmed her colleagues, look like someone who long ago made her peace with the establishment.

Due to a key vote by U.S. Sen.

Without this funding, the entity has struggled to keep its nationwide network of abortion clinics operational.

While Murkowski continues to identify as a Republican, she has long supported federal funding for Planned Parenthood and regularly joins Democrats in efforts to ensure the abortion business benefits from taxpayer dollars.

Microsoft has announced significant workforce reductions affecting its Xbox division and the broader company, the bulk of whom will be replaced by foreign workers. The Xbox unit plans to eliminate approximately 3,200 positions through the end of fiscal year 2027, including about 1,600 role eliminations effective immediately.

These changes form part of a larger restructuring that includes an additional 4,800 positions eliminated company-wide.

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma outlined the moves in a memo to employees. “We are beginning the most significant restructure in XBOX history. After careful consideration, I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce our team by approximately 3,200 throughout FY27. This will include approximately 1,600 role eliminations today, and in addition, four studios will leave XBOX to new management,” she said.

Sharma noted that the business “today is not healthy” and that Xbox is “operating at margins that are 3–10x lower than comparable platform and publishing businesses.” She described the effort as a “reset” to achieve sustainable growth and a return to growth by 2027.

The federal agents may not have known his name when they set out to the predominantly Latino East End neighborhood to apprehend immigrants that day, but they were extremely aware of who Salgado was as they stripped him of any form of identification and his belongings after shooting him.
