A California attorney who advised President Donald Trump on efforts to overturn the 2020 election has been disbarred. The California Supreme Court ordered John Eastman’s law license revoked, citing misconduct and false claims related to the election.

The Republican-led Senate has rejected the latest Democratic attempt to halt President Donald Trump’s war in Iran. The Senate on Wednesday turned aside a resolution that would require the U.S. to withdraw forces from the conflict until Congress authorizes further action. It was the fourth time this year the Senate has voted to cede its war powers to Trump in a conflict that Democrats say is illegal and unjustified. Republicans say they will keep faith in Trump’s wartime leadership, for now, citing Iran’s nuclear capabilities and the high stakes of withdrawal. But GOP lawmakers are also anxious for the conflict to end.

An Atlanta man has been charged in a string of attacks over a matter of hours that left two women dead and a man in critical condition. One of the women, Lauren Bullis, worked for the Department of Homeland Security. Her killing on Monday led Homeland Secretary Markwayne Mullin to issue a statement raising concerns that the 26-year-old defendant, U.K.-native Olaolukitan Adon Abel, was granted U.S. citizenship in 2022, when Democrat Joe Biden was president. Mullin cataloged a litany of the defendant’s previous alleged crimes, but he didn't specify whether they happened before Adon Abel was granted citizenship. Authorities are looking into whether the victims were targeted at random.

Josh responds to the pope’s recent comments about the war in Iran and examining how they square with Scripture. He also breaks down the latest developments in the ongoing peace talks between Israel and Lebanon and what the newest updates could mean for stability across the Middle East.

Later, Josh reacts to a major left-wing influencer once again making headlines with inflammatory comments, and he explains why Republicans would be wise to spotlight rhetoric like this to show just how far outside the mainstream parts of the modern Left have drifted.

President Trump is again threatening to fire the Fed’s Jerome Powell if he doesn’t leave after his chairmanship expires next month. If Powell decides to stay on the central bank’s governing board after his term as chair expires, then the president says he’ll “have to fire him.” During a Fox Business interview, Donald Trump also refused to end a criminal investigation into a renovation project at the Fed’s headquarters. The investigation faces bipartisan opposition in Congress and has delayed Senate consideration of the president’s nominee to replace Powell when his term ends on May 15th.

The super typhoon in the Pacific Ocean that hammered the Northern Mariana Islands flipped over cars, toppled utility poles and ripped away tin roofs. So far, there have been no reports of deaths. Authorities were just beginning to assess the damage left behind by Super Typhoon Sinlaku, which first hit the islands Tuesday night local time and continued with a barrage of fierce winds and relentless rains for hours Wednesday. Power was out and many of the roads were impassible across Saipan, a U.S. territory that's the largest of the Mariana Islands and home to about 43,000 people, according to local officials. The storm also battered Guam, another U.S. territory and the site of several American military bases, with tropical force winds. The typhoon — the strongest tropical cyclone on Earth this year — was packing sustained winds of up to 150 mph (240 kph) when it made landfall on the islands, the National Weather Service said. The monster storm still had winds of 125 mph (200 kph) late Wednesday night as it pulled away to the north from the islands of Saipan, Tinian and Rota, the weather service said. Sinlaku is expected start curving toward sparsely populated volcanic islands in the far northern Marianas. It was still very windy and rainy roughly 24 hours after the typhoon rattled the islands, but much better than the previous night, said Jaden Sanchez, spokesperson for the Saipan mayor’s office. Preliminary reports include a lot of flooding, uprooted trees and downed power lines, but no deaths, he said. Images from Saipan showed residential lots littered with debris and mangled trees. Winds crumbled metal bleachers at a sports field. Resident Dong Min Lee shot video of a car sitting on top of two others in his apartment building’s parking lot. The winds tore off part of his balcony railing. The American Red Cross and its partners were sheltering more than 1,000 residents across Guam and the Northern Marians, agency spokesperson Stephanie Fox said.

Officials evaluated 19 people for injuries and took eight of them to the hospital, including one person who had “sustained serious bodily injuries,” according to the state patrol. Images online show multiple semitrucks involved in the pileup, with debris lining the roadway, fronts of vehicles smashed and at least one vehicle balanced partially off the ground.
