President Donald Trump marked Memorial Day with one of his trademark fiery messages, unleashing a pointed attack on his critics in a post filled with capital letters and strong language.

A Texas doctor who exploited his medical credentials to orchestrate a multimillion-dollar scam—built on lies and fake diagnoses—has been sentenced to a decade behind bars.
Jorge Zamora-Quezada, 68, was found guilty of falsely diagnosing patients with rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic and irreversible disease, in order to collect massive sums from both government and private insurance companies. The fraudulent operation netted him $118 million and financed a life of extreme luxury.
Along with the 10-year prison sentence, the federal court ordered Zamora-Quezada to surrender more than $28 million in assets. This included a lavish collection of possessions: 13 properties, a private jet, and a Maserati GranTurismo.

A former deputy mayor of Los Angeles who once held responsibility for the city’s public safety has agreed to plead guilty to fabricating a bomb threat that falsely claimed an anti-Israel motive and targeted City Hall in 2024.
Federal prosecutors in California revealed that Brian K. Williams, 61, has been charged with one felony count of issuing a bomb threat involving explosives. The charge carries a potential sentence of up to ten years in federal prison.

President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that the United States will postpone the start of a planned 50% tariff on imports from the European Union, pushing the implementation date from June 1 to July 9 to allow additional time for trade discussions with the EU.
The decision followed a phone conversation earlier in the day between Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Trump said von der Leyen expressed a strong desire to move forward with serious negotiations.
“I told anybody that would listen, they have to do that,” Trump told reporters in Morristown, New Jersey, before heading back to Washington. According to Trump, von der Leyen promised to “rapidly get together and see if we can work something out.”

A former staff member who worked closely with President Joe Biden has disclosed that individuals within the White House felt it was acceptable to cross democratic boundaries in their efforts to prevent Donald Trump from returning to office.
During an appearance on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream, Axios reporter Alex Thompson shared that insiders within the Biden administration believed they were the ones truly steering the country, often insulated from the president’s direct input or awareness.

According to a report from Egypt’s “Al-Ghad” news channel, Hamas has agreed in principle to release ten living hostages and return the bodies of sixteen Israeli captives as part of a developing ceasefire agreement.
Israel is currently reviewing Hamas’ conditions, which reportedly include the release of all Palestinian prisoners from Gaza who were arrested before or after the October 7, 2023 attacks.
Sources familiar with the negotiations, which are taking place in Doha under Qatari, American, and Egyptian mediation, told the Cairo-based outlet that significant progress has been made. The proposed deal reportedly centers around a 60-day comprehensive ceasefire, during which hostages would be released in stages.

What began as a May 30 tribute to America’s fallen service members has, since 1971, been officially recognized as Memorial Day—a federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May each year.
While originally intended as a solemn day of remembrance, the holiday has increasingly become associated with commercial activity, with many businesses choosing to stay open and offering large-scale sales. Today, Memorial Day weekend is also one of the busiest times for travel and retail in the United States.
Here’s a rundown of what’s open and closed this Memorial Day:
