President Donald Trump has reportedly halted Israeli plans to launch a military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities, choosing instead to pursue a diplomatic deal with Tehran. According to a bombshell report by The New York Times, Trump personally informed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a high-stakes meeting at the White House that the United States would not support an Israeli-led attack—one that would have required critical American military backing. The revelation marks a dramatic shift in U.S. policy and a rare public rebuke of Israel’s security calculus, particularly as tensions with Iran continue to rise.

This marks a major step in Kennedy’s broader health reform effort under the banner of Make America Healthy Again.

As of this month, New York City has begun enforcing its mandatory composting policy with fines—sparking backlash from homeowners and prompting several City Council members to push legislation to roll the rule back.
The proposed bill, spearheaded by members of the Common Sense Caucus, aims to undo the Department of Sanitation’s composting mandate. The law technically took effect in October, but penalties for noncompliance only began on April 1.
Councilmember Kristy Marmorato, who represents the northeast Bronx’s 13th District, told 1010 WINS that approximately 2,000 fines have already been issued. She is leading the repeal effort alongside fellow Councilmembers David Carr, Vickie Paladino, Inna Vernikov, Susan Zhuang, and Robert Holden.

On Wednesday, Bill de Blasio dismissed the idea of Andrew Cuomo running for mayor, sparking a fiery rebuttal from Cuomo’s team, who didn’t hold back in attacking the former mayor’s legacy.
De Blasio was asked by NY1’s Jillian Jorgensen for his thoughts on the possibility of Cuomo launching a bid for City Hall. Without hesitation, he took a swipe at his longtime political adversary. “I don’t think he should be mayor,” de Blasio said, punctuating his remark with a laugh. “There you go, thank you.”
The response from Cuomo’s camp was swift and cutting. Spokesperson Jason Elan issued a sharply worded statement that began by labeling de Blasio as “the least popular mayor in New York City’s history.”

The International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague has formally asked the Hungarian government to explain why it declined to act on the ICC’s arrest warrant for Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu during his recent trip to Budapest.
