CNN — Russian forces have recaptured Sudzha, the largest town that Ukraine once occupied in the Kursk region, according to Moscow, threatening Kyiv’s sole territorial bargaining chip amid pressure to negotiate an end to the war. “In the course of the offensive operations, units of the North military group liberated the settlements of Melovoy, Podol and Sudzha,” the Russian defense ministry said Thursday. The US-based conflict monitor the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) also said footage from the ground indicated that Russian forces had seized Sudzha and advanced to southern Zaoleshenka, a settlement just northwest of Sudzha. Its…
CNN — Concerns about the nation’s economy have grown in the first months of President Donald Trump’s return to office, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, as few Americans see his policies as having helped economic conditions and 55% say his cuts to federal programs will do economic harm. Americans split evenly over whether economic conditions a year from now will be good (49%) or poor (51%), but the share saying they expect the economy to be in bad shape a year from now is up 7 points since January, just before Trump took office. Jitters on…
New York CNN — It started with tariffs, but the trade war is quickly escalating beyond import taxes into a broader tit-for-tat battle. President Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canada offended leaders there to the point that Ontario fired back by yanking American booze from store shelves. Ontario Premier Doug Ford even threatened to slap a surcharge on or even pull the plug on electricity sent to three US states, raising the specter of power bill spikes or even blackouts. That angered Trump so much that he briefly vowed to hit all US imports of Canadian steel and aluminum with…

CNN — A month after losing her job at the Department of Veterans Affairs, Corinne Bazarnyj is still waiting to be approved for unemployment benefits. The disabled veteran who started at the agency as a training specialist in November was caught up in the Trump administration’s mass culling of probationary workers, who typically have less than one or two years in their positions. Like many other probationary employees, Bazarnyj got a termination letter saying she’d been let go because of performance – even though she hadn’t been on the job long enough to have an evaluation – potentially making it…
CNN — If you ask someone to name the Supreme Court’s single greatest moment, many will cite the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision. That landmark ruling, which unanimously found that the racial segregation of students in public schools was unconstitutional, is considered a turning point in American history. But 70 years after the Court ordered public schools to desegregate at “all deliberate speed,” many public schools in America remain racially separate and unequal. And this racial isolation is deepening. Racial segregation has increased 64% since 1988 in the nation’s 100 largest school districts, according to a 2024 study…
CNN — Washington Democrats finally have a first point of leverage against President Donald Trump – but it comes with a dilemma that could leave them looking even more hapless than they have so far in his second term.

Ahead of a critical Senate vote, Democratic leaders face a paradoxical choice: Should they shut down the government to try to save it? That gamble could come with a significant…

CNN — President Vladimir Putin made a surprise visit to Russia’s occupied Kursk region on Wednesday, as the Kremlin considers a US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with his troops closing in on Ukraine’s only territorial bargaining chip.
