A super typhoon with ferocious winds and heavy rains is battering a group of remote U.S. island in the Pacific Ocean. The National Weather Service says the center of the monster storm is roaring along the Northern Mariana Islands early Wednesday. Super Typhoon Sinlaku is the strongest tropical typhoon on Earth so far this year. It was packing winds that were likely to bring power outages to the islands that are home to roughly 50,000 people. The typhoon slowed to a crawl as it approached the islands. That's raising fears that the fierce winds won’t go away quickly and will worsen its impact.

A federal judge has dismissed President Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch. The case stemmed from a report concerning Trump’s alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein, including a described letter the newspaper said bore his signature. The judge ruled that Trump failed to sufficiently demonstrate the article was published with actual malice, but allowed him the opportunity to file an amended complaint. Trump denies the allegations and says he intends to move forward with what he calls a “powerful case,” signaling he plans to refile the lawsuit.

Vice President J.D. Vance says there has been progress in ongoing negotiations with Iran, even as key issues remain unresolved following recent high-level talks in Islamabad. Speaking after a series of marathon discussions that stretched for more than 20 hours, Vance said the U.S. and Iran had made meaningful headway on several topics, particularly related to nuclear concerns. “We’ve had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians, that’s the good news,” Vance said in remarks. “The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement.” He emphasized that the central question remains Iran’s long-term commitment to not developing a nuclear weapon, adding that Washington has not yet seen sufficient assurances from Tehran. “The simple question is, do we see a fundamental commitment of will for the Iranians not to develop a nuclear weapon… We haven’t seen that yet,” he said. The comments come after tense negotiations in Pakistan that ended without a final deal, though both sides have indicated openness to continued diplomacy amid heightened regional tensions and uncertainty over the fragile ceasefire.

President Donald Trump used a White House food delivery event to promote a tax policy aimed at benefiting tip earners. A DoorDash driver from Arkansas delivered cheeseburgers and fries to the White House, where the president tipped her 100 dollars. The staged event was designed to highlight a proposed tax deduction that would allow workers to deduct up to 25,000 dollars in tip income. The White House says Trump also personally delivered the food to staff inside the West Wing as part of the promotional push ahead of Tax Day.

The standoff between the United States and Iran is deepening after the U.S. announced a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route. Iran has responded with threats to strike targets across the region, raising concerns among international observers about the risk of a wider conflict. Pakistan says it is working to bring both sides back to the negotiating table after weekend ceasefire talks failed to produce an agreement. While a temporary truce appears to be holding for now, officials warn the situation remains highly volatile and could quickly escalate if diplomacy continues to stall.

The U.S. military’s blockade of Iranian maritime routes continues, further restricting shipping activity in and around the Strait of Hormuz following the collapse of recent ceasefire talks. According to military officials, the operation is aimed at limiting Iranian access to international waters and tightening enforcement around key shipping lanes in the region. The move comes after negotiations between the United States and Iran failed to reach an agreement, leaving uncertainty over the future of a fragile truce. Iran has responded with warnings and threats of retaliation against regional targets, escalating fears of wider conflict across the Persian Gulf. Diplomatic efforts continue behind the scenes, with some international actors pushing for renewed talks, even as tensions remain high and maritime activity in the region stays heavily disrupted. Recent reporting indicates that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains sharply reduced as vessels avoid the area amid ongoing military and political uncertainty.

A 16-year-old boy has been charged with murder and aggravated sexual abuse in Florida in the death of his 18-year-old stepsister on a Carnival Cruise ship, the U.S. Justice Department said Monday. Timothy Hudson was initially charged as a juvenile on Feb. 2, but the case was sealed until U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom ordered that he would be prosecuted as an adult. Anna Kepner had been traveling on the Carnival Horizon ship in November with her family. Before the ship was scheduled to return to Florida, her body was found concealed under a bed in a room she was sharing with two other teens, including the younger stepbrother.

Eric Swalwell Drops Out of Race

Read More...

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell’s abrupt exit from the race for California governor — then his announcement he would leave Congress — left his rivals scrambling to lock down his former supporters in a crowded contest with no clear leader, injecting more turmoil into the campaign to lead the nation’s most populous state. Swalwell’s decision to suspend his campaign Sunday followed allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman twice, including when she worked for him, that were published Friday in the San Francisco Chronicle and later by CNN. While pulling out of the race he remained defiant in a post on the social platform X, saying, “I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.” On Monday, he posted a statement on the social platform X, saying he planned to resign from Congress but did not provide a date for his departure. He wrote it was unfair for his constituents to have him distracted from his duties. For rival candidates in a wide-open race, the key issue is where Swalwell’s supporters will go. He was among the most prominent Democrats in the contest, with mail ballots scheduled to go to voters in early May in advance of the June 2 primary election. All of the well-known candidates are expected to appear on stage together Tuesday during a forum in Sacramento. Katie Porter, one of the leading Democrats, posted a line from a San Francisco Chronicle column on X, "Democrats can pull victory from the jaws of defeat by coalescing around Porter.” Billionaire hedge fund manager-turned-liberal activist Tom Steyer said he secured the support of Rep. Jared Huffman, a Democrat whose coastal district runs north of San Francisco, not far from Swalwell's home turf. Antonio Villaraigosa, the former Los Angeles mayor, pitched a new ad promising to lower gas and grocery costs in a state known for its punishing cost of living. With seven established Democrats and two leading Republicans on a primary ballot with more than 50 candidates, the race remains fluid. While Swalwell has suspended his campaign, his name cannot be removed from the ballot.
