- California's gubernatorial primary comes to a close Tuesday as voters choose from an extensive field of candidates hoping to replace termed-out Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The end of the voting period, which began in early May, concludes a chaotic contest without a clear frontrunner. Candidates tried to elbow each other out in the final stretch as each sought to convince voters that they were best prepared to lead the most populous state and one of the world's largest economies.
California puts all candidates on a single primary ballot regardless of party, and the top two finishers advance to the November general election. About 60 candidates were on the ballot, most of them largely unknown to the state’s roughly 23 million voters.

For months, Ukraine has been quietly dismantling the one road that keeps Russia's southern war machine alive — a highway so critical that without it, Crimea starves, and the front line goes cold.
On May 27th, Kyiv stopped being quiet about it. Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov formalized what had been a covert campaign into a declared strategic program, announcing a $113 million initiative he calls a "logistics lockdown."
The target is the R-280 highway — also known as the M-14, renamed by Russian occupation authorities the "Novorossiya" route. It runs from the Russian port city of Rostov-on-Don, west through occupied Mariupol, Berdyansk, and Melitopol, and straight into Crimea.
Since the Kerch Strait Bridge — once Russia's primary link to the peninsula — was progressively degraded by Ukrainian strikes, the R-280 became Moscow's only reliable overland artery. Its li...

Some protesters said they saw American planes flying into the air base and equipment being deployed in the area, which they say triggered the demonstrations.

- A developing El Niño that is forecast to get quite strong will likely dampen the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season, but it won't make the potentially deadly storms disappear, federal and outside meteorologists predict.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Thursday issued its seasonal outlook for the Atlantic, giving a 55% chance of a below-average season. The agency forecasts eight to 14 named storms, with three to six of them becoming strong enough to hit hurricane status and one to three of those intensifying to major hurricanes.
A normal hurricane season has 14 named storms, seven of them becoming hurricanes and three of them reaching major hurricane level, which is more than 110 mph (177 kph).

President Donald Trump on Friday held a meeting in the Situation Room to discuss a potential deal that could lead to an end to the war with Iran.
In a Truth Social post Friday morning, Trump reiterated several positions he has previously outlined regarding Iran.
"Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb," he said. "The Hormuz Strait must be immediately open, no tolls, for unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions."
The U.S. and Iran have tentatively agreed to a memorandum of understanding that would extend their ceasefire for 60 days, two sources familiar with the matter told Scripps News.

- Changes to Green Card process show 'stunning disregard' for immigrants seeking residency

- Description
- The Trump administration’s announcement that people who want to apply for green cards must leave the U.S. and apply in their home countries in most circumstances sent shockwaves through some immigrant communities.
Immigration lawyers say this new policy is a departure from 70 years of practice which allowed people to file for their green cards while remaining in the U.S.
“People relied on that system, they made life-altering decisions based on it," said Ben Johnson, executive director of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. "They accepted jobs, started businesses, got married, had children, bought homes, built futures, all while following the law as Congress had written it, and as the government has applied it for decades. This policy shows a stunning disregard for those people and those decisions, and the impact it will have.”

- Very early presidential polling: Vance and Rubio lead GOP, Buttigieg has narrow Dem lead
- Runtime

- Description
- Early voting attention has focused on the midterm elections, with a Senate runoff in Texas and nationwide battles over congressional redistricting.
But behind the scenes, many 2028 presidential candidates have been jockeying.
The latest survey from Emerson College shows who voters prefer at this point in the campaign — though results should be taken with a grain of salt, given how far out the 2028 presidential election is.
On the GOP side, JD Vance and Marco Rubio lead with around 35% support, and Ron Desantis and Nikki Haley both show around 5%.
This marks a big shift from February of this year, when Vance had about 52% of the likely GOP primary vote. Rubio was just at about 20% but has since raised his profile, particularly through his role as Secretary of State while the U.S. negotiates with Iran.
Pete Buttigieg now narrowly leads Democrat polling, with Gavin Newsom, the California governor, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasi...

- Description
- A Kenyan court has blocked a Trump administration plan to establish a quarantine facility in Kenya for Americans exposed to Ebola.
The proposal sparked backlash from Kenyan doctors, public health advocates and residents, who argued that if Ebola is considered too dangerous for treatment in the United States, it should not be sent abroad. Meanwhile, health officials continue to battle the spread of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where conflict and mass displacement are complicating containment efforts.

- Trump weighs Iran deal as ceasefire extension nears
- Runtime

- Date posted
- 1 month ago
- Description
- President Donald Trump is weighing whether to approve a tentative agreement that could extend the U.S.-Iran ceasefire and help bring an end to the war.
The proposed 60-day deal would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, lift restrictions on Iranian oil sales and continue negotiations over Iran's nuclear program. But major questions remain, including the fate of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, sanctions relief and competing claims from Washington and Tehran about what is actually in the agreement.
