The revelation that President Donald Trump’s most senior national security officials posted the specifics of a military attack to a chat group that included a journalist hours before the attack took place in Yemen has raised many questions. Among them are whether federal laws were violated, whether classified information was exposed on the commercial messaging app, and whether anyone will face consequences for the leaks. Here’s what we know so far, and what we don’t know. ___ KNOWN: Signal is a publicly available app that provides encrypted communications, but it can be hacked. It is not approved for carrying classified information.

Governor Kathy Hochul of New York made it clear on The David Pakman Show that her state will not participate in large-scale deportations, stressing that state law enforcement will not collaborate in such operations. “We’re not going to allow this mass deportation,” Hochul stated, emphasizing that her cooperation will only extend to situations where a warrant exists or when an individual is listed on a terrorism watch list.

The judge overseeing the civil lawsuit involving a Signal group chat among members of Trump’s cabinet regarding Houthi attacks is the same judge who previously intervened to prevent the administration from deporting individuals suspected of being members of the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang. James Boasberg, the chief judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, was appointed by Obama and is currently handling the case brought by the organization American Oversight against five cabinet members, as reported by Politico’s Kyle Cheney.

The London-based newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported that Israeli officials are allegedly using the ongoing talks as a pretext to push forward a plan that would force Palestinians out of Gaza. “There are attempts to embarrass Cairo through an Israeli plan aimed at advancing the forced displacement agenda,” one of the sources was quoted as saying.

(By Alexandra Segal) There’s something about watching history in the making. Seeing a moment in time, knowing you were there as it occurred, and that it would be remembered as monumental for all time. I think it’s safe to say that I, along with close to 6,500 other women felt like we were part of a historic moment, between this Sunday and Monday nights. In an opulent theater built for royals — the Kings Theatre — in the heart of Brooklyn, girls and women of all ages and backgrounds flooded from near and far (many flying in from Chicago, Switzerland, Toronto, Florida, Texas and other places) to hear the soulful sounds of one Shaindy Plotzker, a 28-year-old powerhouse who commands the stage and captivates every audience, event single time.

On Thursday morning, Hamas declared that Abdul Latif Al-Qanou, their spokesperson, had been killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Jabalia region of northern Gaza. Israel has not issued a statement regarding the claim.
This follows a Sunday operation carried out by the IDF and Shin Bet in the Khan Yunis area, where Ismail Barhoum, a senior figure in Hamas’ financial and institutional operations, was killed. Barhoum played a significant role in Hamas’ political bureau and was closely involved in military strategy, directly influencing the group’s operations.
In his role, Barhoum managed Hamas’ financial activities within Gaza, overseeing the allocation of resources to the group’s military wing, as well as financing and organizing terrorist attacks against Israel.

President Trump revealed a new 25% tariff on foreign-made automobiles on Wednesday, affecting approximately half of all vehicles sold in the United States. He justified the measure as a way to promote domestic manufacturing.
During an announcement in the Oval Office, Trump declared, “this is gonna lead to the construction of a lot of plants” dedicated to building cars in the United States.
He elaborated, stating, “We’ll effectively be charging a 25% tariff, but if you build your car in the United States, there is no tariff.”
Will Scharf, the White House staff secretary, informed Trump that the initiative was expected to generate $100 billion in annual revenue. However, experts have warned that the move could significantly decrease the volume of imports.
