Family and friends of former U.S. Rep. Mia Love are set to gather Monday in Salt Lake City to honor her life and legacy after she died of brain cancer in March at age 49. Love, a daughter of Haitian immigrants, was the first Black Republican woman elected to Congress. The former lawmaker from Utah had undergone treatment for an aggressive brain tumor called glioblastoma and received immunotherapy as part of a clinical trial. She died at her home in Saratoga Springs, Utah, weeks after her daughter announced she was no longer responding to treatment. State lawmakers and members of the public visited the Utah Capitol on Sunday evening to pay their respects at Love’s flag-covered coffin behind ropes in the building’s rotunda.

The United States has blocked imports of sea salt products from a major South Korean salt farm accused of using slave labor, becoming the first trade partner to take punitive action against a decadeslong problem on salt farms in remote islands off South Korea’s southwest coast. U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued a withhold release order against the Taepyung salt farm, saying information “reasonably indicates” the use of forced labor at the company in the island county of Sinan, where most of South Korea’s sea salt products are made. Under the order issued on April 2, CBP personnel at all U.S. ports of entry are required to detain sea salt products sourced from the farm. South Korea’s Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries didn’t immediately comment on CBP’s move on Monday.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his wife landed in Washington D.C. on Sunday evening and were greeted by Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter. Shortly later, Netanyahu and his entourage rushed to the Blair House for a meeting with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. The meeting, which focused on the 17% tariff imposed by the Trump administration on Israel, was described by the Prime Minister’s Office as “warm, friendly, and productive.” Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump on Monday at 1 p.m., and the two will hold a joint press conference following the meeting. There has been speculation in the Israeli press about the main issues the two leaders will discuss.

Menachem Chaifetz was a bochur in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin in the 1990s. When he became engaged to the daughter of Rav Avrohom Turin zt”l, the esteemed Mashgiach of Scranton Yeshiva, it was a joyous occasion for both families.
Menachem eagerly anticipated his first Pesach in his father-in-law’s home. The thought of spending Yom Tov in such a distinguished Torah environment filled him with excitement. The home of Rav Turin was known for its warmth, depth of Torah, and unwavering commitment to mesorah.
Erev Pesach arrived, and as the house bustled with final preparations, Rav Turin called Menachem aside.

JERUSALEM (VINnews)-In a revealing one-hour exclusive interview with Israeli commentator Gadi Taub, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opened up about the pivotal dilemmas and bold decisions that d

Billionaire hedge fund titan Bill Ackman unleashed a scathing rebuke of President Trump’s sweeping new tariffs, warning that the White House is marching the U.S. economy straight into what he chillingly calls an “economic nuclear winter.” Ackman, once a vocal supporter of Trump’s economic agenda and a high-profile endorser during the 2024 campaign, sounded the alarm in a blistering statement posted on X, declaring that the president’s aggressive trade war strategy could cause markets to collapse, investment to vanish, and Trump’s own base to suffer the worst consequences. “Business is a confidence game,” Ackman wrote.

Dear Mommy and Totty, I hope this letter finds you both well, but I have to admit, I’m not doing so great, but you knew that already. There are things I need to tell you, things I’ve been keeping locked away inside for too long and I’m not sure if it is safe for me to express myself. I’ve been feeling so confused lately, like I’m stuck in a maze with no way out. You know how you’ve always talked about those people who claim to be victims, saying they’re just seeking attention? I’ve heard you, and I’ve nodded along, perhaps I even believed your line of thinking. But that was before “it” happened. And “it” was something that I’m not proud of. “It” is something that is still confusing to me. “It” is being abused myself.

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman, who backed President Trump last year, has issued a blunt critique of the administration’s aggressive new tariff agenda, cautioning that the plan could push the economy into a downward spiral — with Trump’s own voter base suffering the most.
“Business is a confidence game. The president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe. The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president — in particular low-income consumers who are already under a huge amount of economic stress — are going to be severely negative,” he wrote.
