What was nearly a tragedy turned into a powerful reminder of the Hashgacha Pratis that accompanies each Yid, wherever they may be—even in a Florida resort, on a sunny Chol Hamoed afternoon. Just 24 hours after pulling their unconscious two-year-old daughter from the water, the Cohen family of Baltimore gathered friends, family, and first responders for an emotional and deeply moving Seudas Hodaah. Their little girl, Aliza Rivka bas Chana, had been miraculously revived after a harrowing near-drowning accident—thanks to the quick actions of bystanders and the heroic intervention of Hatzalah of South Florida. The father, Levi Cohen, stood before the crowd, his voice thick with emotion. “You read about these kinds of stories on Yeshiva World News,” he said.

As Donald Trump’s legal team waits for a verdict in his appeal of a $480 million fraud judgment, the drawn-out process has sparked accusations that Governor Kathy Hochul is leveraging her authority over the judiciary to intimidate the president, the NY Post reports. Sources from the White House allege that Hochul told Trump, “I control the judges” during a February policy discussion in the Oval Office that included topics like the controversial Manhattan congestion pricing plan.
Hochul strongly refutes ever making such a remark.

President Donald Trump stopped Israel from launching a planned assault on Iranian nuclear facilities, opting instead to pursue diplomacy with Tehran aimed at curbing its nuclear ambitions, according to a report published Wednesday by the New York Times, which cited officials within the administration and other sources.
The report stated that Israel had crafted a military strategy to strike Iran’s nuclear infrastructure as of May, intending to significantly delay Iran’s capacity to produce a nuclear weapon—potentially by more than a year.
According to the New York Times, Israel would have needed American military backing—not only to help shield it from an Iranian counterattack but also to ensure the operation’s overall effectiveness.

Border Czar Tom Homan reacted to Democratic Party efforts to protect deported alleged MS-13 Kilmar Abrego Garcia and bring him back to the U.S.
Homan specifically went after Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen, who says Abrego Garcias was “abducted,” while speaking with Fox & Friends Wednesday morning.
“He wasn’t abducted. He’s an MS-13 gang member,” Homan said. “Classified as a terrorist who was removed from this country. So, we got rid of a dangerous person — an El Salvador national — he was returned to the nation of El Salvador, so he’s home.”

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.

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.
