Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky fired his popular defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov on Thursday. The tech-savvy 35-year-old reformer is the last remaining minister to have held positions in all of Zelenskiy's governments.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shook up his wartime government. He dismissed Mykhailo Fedorov as the country's defence minister and replaced him with a new prime minister. Ukraine is seen by many analysts as turning the tide against Russia's nearly 4½-year full-scale invasion. Two people were killed and five wounded when Russian missiles hit the capital of Kyiv overnight, including a child. One university student claims that the problem with the government is not Fedorova but Zelenskiy.


The U.S. military has reimposed its blockade of Iranian ports in response to Iran's attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Closure of the Bab el-Mandeb strait would open a new front in the energy crisis and Iran’s conflict with the US.

The U.S. military has reimposed its naval blockade of Iranian ports in response to Iran's attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The interim peace agreement was supposed to give negotiators time to hammer out a permanent end to the war, but talks have stalled as fighting over the strait has intensified. Tehran effectively closed the waterway to shipping traffic after the United States and Israel launched the war on Iran on February 28. It sent the price of oil, fertilizer and many other goods soaring and gave Iran leverage in negotiations.


Smoke from Canadian and Minnesota wildfires is affecting the Midwest and Northeast U.S. this week. Health officials warn people to stay inside due to unhealthy levels of particulate matter in the air.

Toronto's air quality ranked the worst among major cities globally on Wednesday. Environment Canada reported an Air Quality Health Index reading of 10+ for Toronto, while forecasts suggested hazardous conditions could persist through Thursday night. The National Weather Service said the smoke could linger into the end of the week.

President Donald Trump will give a primetime address to the nation on Thursday at 9 p.m. ET about elections, voting machine security and intelligence linked to the 2020 election. The speech is likely aimed at advancing the White House's multi-pronged campaign to restrict the right to vote and increase the executive branch's control over U.S. elections ahead of the 2026 midterms. Ex-senior FBI and intelligence officials warn that what Trump touts as a speech emphasizing the importance of "free and fair elections" will be an attack on democracy itself.


Todd Blanche is the current acting attorney general and one of President Donald Trump’s former personal defense attorneys.

Todd Blanche, President Trump's nominee for attorney general, was questioned about the anti-weaponization fund and a tax immunity deal for the president. Some Republicans are still undecided on Todd Blanche's nomination. More than 1,200 former DOJ staffers signed a letter opposing it. Jay Clayton is being considered to be the next director of the US Intelligence Community. He also faces questions about the rollout of the Epstein files and a set of controversial subpoenas he signed for New York Times journalists.


India and New Zealand summoned senior Iranian diplomats on Tuesday over the escalation and attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.N. maritime agency said it opposes charging fees to transit through the Strait after Trump said he wanted to charge a 20% toll on ships in exchange for protecting them from Iranian attacks.

The U.S. Central Command completed another round of strikes against Iranian targets late Tuesday as the order to resume its naval blockade of Iranian ports in and around the Strait of Hormuz took effect. The Curacao-flagged M/T Belma ignored repeated warnings to stop sailing toward Kharg Island, so it was disabled by missiles fired into the smokestack. This is the first vessel that U.s. forces have disabled since the naval blockade resumed on Tuesday. Two other commercial vessels were redirected. President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire between the two nations over.

A new report from the American Civil Liberties Union documents widespread use of force by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. The report looked at more than 1,200 immigration enforcement operations involving ICE officers or law enforcement working with ICE across eight states since President Trump took office in January 2025 until the end of last year.

Pete Hegseth announced on Wednesday that the Department of Defense will offer testosterone deficiency screening for soldiers 30 and older. Troops under 30 can opt out of the program. The screenings will be conducted annually as part of service members' required medical screenings. Treatment, including testosterone replacement therapy, is voluntary and aimed at “restoring and optimizing” natural capabilities. It comes as other Trump administration officials advocate for easier access to testosterone replacement therapies for men in uniform.


Troy Jackson is running to replace Graham Platner as the Democratic candidate for US Senate in Maine. Jordan Wood wants to turn the page from Platner without abandoning his supporters.

Maine Democrats are choosing a new candidate to replace Graham Platner as their party's nominee for Senate. At least seven Democrats are running for the nomination to take on Republican Sen. Susan Collins. The process is poised to culminate with a party convention in Bangor on July 25, two days before state law requires the Maine Democratic Party to select a new nominee. Several Democrats who sought other elected office this year have dusted off their campaigns and are pitching themselves as the best option to right the ship in the Senate race.


On Tuesday, the US House of Representatives passed a bill to make daylight saving time permanent across the country. President Donald Trump has pushed for an end to the twice-annual clock- switching.

On Tuesday, the House of Representatives passed a bill to make daylight saving time permanent across the country. President Donald Trump supports the idea. It's unclear if this new version of the bill will be adopted. The Senate passed similar legislation in 2022 but it was never brought up for a vote in the House. Supporters of the measure say it would take advantage of more sunlight during the day and save on energy consumption. Opponents say it could lead to fewer accidents on the road and more daylight in the evening.
