Donald Tusk Retains Parliament’s Support After Presidential Election Defeat Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has secured a comfortable victory in a parliamentary vote of confidence, aimed at stabilizing his fragile coalition government following a significant setback in the recent presidential election. The vote, held on Wednesday, passed with 243 MPs in favor and 210 against. It was initiated by Tusk in response to the surprising defeat of his preferred presidential candidate, a loss that triggered doubts about the coalition’s future and intensified personal criticism of the prime minister. Tusk leads a broad, pro-European coalition ranging from agrarian conservatives to social…

If the moon caught your eye last night, you weren’t alone — it appeared full, hung low in the sky, and in some areas, glowed with a soft pink hue. This was June’s Strawberry Moon, a name tied not to its color, but to the seasonal ripening of strawberries in June. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the moon reached its peak brightness at 3:44 a.m. ET on Wednesday. In certain parts of the world, the moon took on a reddish-pink tint, caused by its low position on the horizon and the scattering of light through the thickest layers of Earth’s…

Sydney Sweeney Undergoes Dramatic Physical Transformation for Christy Martin Biopic Sydney Sweeney has taken on one of her most physically demanding roles yet, gaining nearly 30 pounds to portray legendary boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic. The transformation, both physical and emotional, reflects the intense commitment the actress brought to the role of the trailblazing athlete. “My body changed completely,” Sweeney told W Magazine in a recent cover interview. “I didn’t fit into any of my clothes.

Three Democratic governors — Gavin Newsom of California, JB Pritzker of Illinois, and Tim Walz of Minnesota — who are considered potential contenders for the 2028 presidential election, have recently advanced proposals to scale back or freeze publicly funded health care for undocumented immigrants. The decisions come as all three states face budgetary pressures, prompting a reassessment of earlier commitments to expand health coverage to individuals without legal status. Each governor has attributed the proposed cuts to financial shortfalls driven in part by the higher-than-expected costs of expanding health care access. However, these developments also reflect broader tensions within the…

Seven Killed in Colombia as Rebel Attacks Target Police Stations; Senator in Critical Condition Seven people, including two police officers, were killed on Tuesday in a wave of coordinated bomb attacks across Colombia, according to a statement by the National Police. The attacks, which took place near police stations in the city of Cali and the nearby province of Cauca, are being blamed on the FARC-EMC, a dissident rebel faction composed of former members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) who rejected the 2016 peace agreement with the government.

A federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled that many of the tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump on China and other U.S. trading partners can remain in effect while the administration’s appeal proceeds. The ruling extends a temporary stay issued after a lower court in late May found the tariffs illegal. The decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington offers a temporary but significant victory for the Trump administration, which had warned that suspending the tariffs could weaken the president’s position in ongoing international trade negotiations. However, the administration still faces the challenge…

WASHINGTON — Ongoing trade conflicts, particularly those involving the United States, are projected to significantly slow economic growth both domestically and globally this year, according to a new World Bank forecast released Tuesday. While not naming President Donald Trump directly, the World Bank cited “a substantial rise in trade barriers” as a key driver behind its downgraded outlook. The U.S. economy, the world’s largest, is now expected to grow just 1.4% in 2025—half the pace of last year’s 2.8% growth and well below the 2.3% the Bank had forecast in January. The global economic outlook was also revised downward. The…

The city of Los Angeles has imposed a curfew in part of downtown Tuesday night amid rising tensions between California and the Trump administration over immigration raids and the use of federal troops to respond to protests.
