- Description
- Tightening its grip on a key maritime trade route, Iran issued a list of demands for the United States to meet before shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz can resume. All of the demands appear to be non-starters for the White House.
Iranian leaders said the United States must lift its blockade on Iranian ports, withdraw American forces surrounding Iran, lift sanctions, unfreeze Iranian assets, refrain from using insulting and threatening language toward Iran, and pay Iran for damages caused by the war.
In a social media post Monday, President Donald Trump said the last demand on that list was never brought up during past talks with Iran.
"But it is an interesting idea because now I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran, for all of the people that they have killed and gravely wounded with their roadside bombs and many conflicts, for which they are famous, as led initially by General Soleimani, including the families of those killed on the USS Cole, and tho...

- Many leaders in the Democratic Party are calling for unity as we approach the midterm elections. But with more and more so-called "Democratic Socialists" winning primary elections, there are concerns they may turn off more moderate and independent voters.
People are tired of the status quo politics and establishment policies. They want real change," Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, said.
That change is coming, with a series of recent victories by more progressive candidates, including those who call themselves Democratic Socialists.
My hope is that our democracy will never be the same," Abdul El-Sayed said.
Last week’s narrow win by Abdul El-Sayed in the Democratic primary race for Senate in Michigan is now top of mind for the party.

Speaking with The National News Desk, Rasmussen, president of RMG Research and author of Out of Touch: The Elite 1% and the Battle for America's Soul, said the term "elite" can mean different things depending on the context.
"There are elite athletes. There are elite musicians. That's a positive thing," Rasmussen said. "There is a financial elite. But in political terms, it is these people with a postgraduate degree who live in a densely populated urban area."

- Concerns about American military readiness have intensified following multiple reports of dwindling munitions stockpiles after five months of war with Iran.
Reuters was first to report the U.S. Army has gone through "virtually all" of its surface-to-surface Army Tactical Missile Systems and Precision Strike Missiles, citing people familiar with inventory data. These weapons allow personnel to launch accurate strikes while keeping a safe distance from the target. A shortage of these could necessitate the use of more dangerous methods of attacking the enemy, experts warned.
A Pentagon spokesperson who responded to the report said the military has everything it needs to execute orders from the president. Last week, responding to earlier reports of strained stockpiles, President Donald Trump said, "We have plenty."

The student she was flying with was on his first ever lesson. Thankfully, the two walked away without injuries.
Dramatic video captured by truck driver Eric Jordan shows Shelton fly the plane under overhead sign structure on I-10 before landing on the highway.
Air Traffic Control audio reveals Shelton -- who has logged approximately 1,300 hours of total flight time -- reported the smell of burning oil in the cockpit, which led to the emergency landing.

Speaking at a roundtable event with lawmakers focused on fraud prevention, Vance said the Trump administration’s fraud task force had identified $230 billion in fraud and stopped $56 billion in fraudulent payments since it was created.
He said the effort, which has involved agencies across the federal government, should now be backed by legislation to make the changes permanent.

- El Paso officials are weighing a higher property tax rate as the city works to balance its upcoming budget, a move that comes as many residents face higher costs.
Mayor Renard Johnson and the city’s Chief Financial Officer Robert Cortinas discussed the proposal during a KFOX14 Community Conversations segment that focused on why the city says it needs a property tax increase now and what it would mean for residents.
City leaders say El Paso has already cut $26 million before proposing the tax increase.
Under the proposal, the city estimates the average homeowner would pay about $132 more per year on their property tax bill.

- El Paso Electric met one-on-one with customers Tuesday evening as some residents said rising electric bills have forced them to cut back on groceries and other everyday expenses.
The utility held a customer-assistance pop-up at the El Paso Community College Administrative Services Center in East El Paso. Representatives reviewed customer accounts, explained charges and discussed payment arrangements and financial-assistance options.
Marcelino Zavala said he attended the event looking for answers after his monthly bill rose from about $55 in May to nearly $110 in August.
Zavala, who is retired and lives on Social Security, said he has turned off lights and unplugged appliances in an effort to reduce his electricity use.
“I used to buy good groceries,” Zavala said. “So I had to buy half of the groceries. But now with this going on, I have to buy half of a half.”

- Description
- El Paso city leaders unveiled an updated proposed fiscal year 2027 budget Tuesday that aims to preserve essential city services while addressing rising public safety costs and declining revenue, including a recommended increase in the city's property tax rate.
According to the proposal, the budget prioritizes funding for police and fire services, neighborhood infrastructure, parks, libraries, public health programs and other services residents use daily. City officials said the plan comes after months of reviewing operations and reducing spending to avoid deeper service cuts.
The City of El Paso provides 236 programs and services, including emergency response, street maintenance, parks and recreation, libraries, public health, animal services, code enforcement, planning and economic development.
Public safety remains the city's largest General Fund expense, totaling about $371 million, or 57% of the General Fund.

- Trump says oil companies are 'making too much money': Is he right?

- Gas is expensive and American drivers are exhausted. President Donald Trump is frustrated, too, but his beef is with major oil companies that just reported blockbuster second-quarter earnings.
"They're making too much money, OK, based on a shortage, they're making too much money. I don't like it and I should be the last one to say it because I'm a big free enterprise guy, nobody bigger," Trump said Monday.
The oil shortage Trump referred to is a product of the Iran war. The Iranian regime has essentially closed the Strait of Hormuz, which, before the war, was used to transport one-fifth of the world's crude oil. The longest stretch of elevated fuel prices tied to this supply shock overlapped with the same period covered in second-quarter earnings reports: April, May and June.
Chevron reported adjusted earnings of $12 billion, compared to $3.1 billion in the second quarter of 2025. ExxonMobil also more than doubled earnings, raking in $14.7 billion compared to $7.1 ...
