The U.S. launched a seventh straight night of attacks on Iran and its allies in the Gulf on Friday. Both sides targeted infrastructure while shipping in the Strait of Hormuz came under further assault.

The U.S. Central Command announced a new round of strikes on Iran on Monday. President Donald Trump said Washington is "reinstating" a blockade on Iran in the Strait of Hormuz and will charge other ships for safe passage. Iran insists it controls the critical waterway. The president again threatened to target energy infrastructure, power plants and bridges unless Tehran returns to the negotiating table. Iran's army says it has struck bases in Bahrain and Kuwait in response to US attacks.

There are over 900 wildfires burning in Canada and Minnesota. The smoke from the fires has drifted into the U.S. Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast.

More than 100 million people in 18 states and the District of Columbia are under air quality alerts due to smoke from Canadian wildfires. The Cleveland Guardians game against the Pittsburgh Pirates was postponed Friday due to poor air quality in the Cleveland area. Toronto is under an air quality warning, orange alert. Some outdoor programming has been cancelled due to the smoke. Weather patterns will determine which cities have the worst air quality each day. Showers and thunderstorms are likely in the afternoon and evening in the Ohio Valley and much of the Northeast this weekend. Another round of smoke will dive southward into the western Great Lakes Saturday, then sweep into the Ohio River Valley and into the mid-Atlantic on Sunday.

The League of Women Voters denounces President Trump’s false, outlandish, and indefensible claims related to the security of US elections. Liz Landers speaks with two election officials in key battleground states: Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes and Gabe Sterling of the Georgia Secretary Of State's Office.

President Donald Trump released a trove of documents during a primetime address to the nation on Thursday night. The material was hyped as a smoking gun that would prove his long-debunked allegations of mass voter fraud. There is no evidence that China or any foreign entity manipulated the vote in 2020 or any other year. A Washington Post-Ipsos poll published earlier in the day found the President’s approval rating to be floundering at thirty-seven per cent, where it was in April. Just 15 per cent said they “approve strongly” of his performance.

The Department of Homeland Security is demanding states turn over voter rolls and identify non-citizens registered to vote. Failure to comply could result in losing federal grant money and criminal prosecution.

President Trump and his allies escalated attacks on U.S. elections on Friday, after the president's prime-time effort to convince Americans that the nation's voting systems are fundamentally flawed. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin threatened local election officials with fines and prison if they don't turn over voter rolls to federal officials seeking to root out purported illegal voting by noncitizens. California Gov. Gavin Newsom wrote on X in response to Mullin's threats: "California has free, fair, and secure elections" and he will fight for them. Election security experts cast doubt on Trump's claim that 250,000 noncitizens are registered to vote in four US states.

Since the start of the war on February 28, 2026, the Iranian regime has sought to turn the conflict into a tool for its own survival. Two new power blocs have emerged vying for the regime’s future: one advocating openness to the world and an end to open confrontation with the West and the other clinging to hardline revolutionary rhetoric.

After the assassination of Ali Khamenei, Iran's power structure has undergone a profound reshaping. Two new power blocs are vying for the regime’s future: one advocating openness to the world and an end to open confrontation with the West, the other clinging to hardline revolutionary rhetoric. Some believe that Iran is no longer a republic of any kind but has morphed into a dictatorial, mafia-style oligarchy in military uniform led by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Sara Rodriguez, a leading establishment Democrat from the Milwaukee suburbs, fired her campaign manager after discovering her campaign had hundreds of thousands of dollars less on hand than expected. On Friday, she announced she was dropping out of the Democratic primary for governor's race because of financial concerns.

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley will revive his campaign for governor after a massive upheaval in the Democratic primary this week. Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez announced Friday she was dropping out of the governor’s race, just days after her campaign discovered major inaccuracies related to its financial reporting. The decision roils a wide-open race for governor in the perennial battleground state and prompts at least one former candidate to revive their campaign. Senior Democratic strategists confirmed Friday that Gov. Tony Evers is "very strongly considering" backing the county executive.

A disorganized but formidable-looking mass of thunderstorm activity has developed just west of Florida over the eastern Gulf. The forecast for the low’s formation has migrated a little west since previous estimates with the system moving toward Florida's Big Bend on Sunday and the Panhandle on Monday.

A low-pressure system is expected to bring heavy rain to Florida's Gulf Coast through the weekend. The chances of a tropical cyclone forming over the next 7 days are 30%, while the chance of formation over 48 hours is 10%. Up to 7 inches of rain is possible into Monday in the Tampa Bay area with more widespread amounts in the area of 2 to 3 inches. High humidity and temperatures in the 90s could create dangerous heat indices of 105 to 111 or higher. Forecasters give a tropical wave near Cabo Verde Islands a low 10% chance of organizing before moisture drops.

Waves of Ukrainian drone attacks killed seven warehouse workers and injured dozens more. Another attack sparked a fire at an oil depot in the wider capital region.

A Ukrainian drone also hit an oil depot in Noginsk, sparking a fire and prompting evacuations of a nearby maternity hospital and a residential building.

Joan Sebastian Durán Guerrero, a 25-year-old food delivery driver from Colombia, was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Biddeford, Maine on Monday. Graham Platner lost his bid for the U.S. Senate seat in Maine last week. President Trump overruled his own administration's decision to suspend most traffic stops after public outcry over two fatal shootings by ICE officers in less than a week. Former ICE leaders say traffic stops were never a primary enforcement tool.

President Trump is threatening to increase import tariffs on Canada over the "unnecessary invasion" of smoke from the hundreds of wildfires that have destroyed communities and forced people from their homes.
