Press passes for CNN and MS NOW correspondents were revoked Saturday morning after President Trump announced on Truth Social that the three outlets were barred "effective immediately" for reporting "FICTION and LIES." CNN called the move "an illegal assault" on First Amendment rights, while MS NOW said it would take "any and all steps necessary" to defend access. Past attempts by the administration to bar specific outlets have been blocked by federal judges.
The president said his administration will recommend drugmakers break some combination childhood vaccines into five separate shots, each carrying twenty percent of the current dose and spaced roughly six months apart. The proposal would represent one of the most significant changes to the federal childhood immunization schedule in decades. Manufacturers and pediatric groups have not yet signaled whether they will go along.
DHS figures shared Saturday show southwest border got-aways — migrants who cross undetected — have dropped under forty per day, a ninety-eight percent decline from peak levels. The department also says zero illegal aliens have been released to pursue asylum claims at the southern border in the past sixteen months. Critics argue the numbers reflect deterrence abroad as much as enforcement at the line itself.
Washington State's Supreme Court struck down a ballot measure approved by voters that protected access to natural gas hookups, ruling it ran afoul of state constitutional requirements. Energy advocates call it a direct override of the electorate on kitchen stoves and home heating. The decision lands as utility costs remain a top-tier issue heading into the midterms.
Trump announced a sweeping agreement with Denmark and Greenland granting the United States permanent basing, access and overflight rights on the Arctic island, with no expiration date and no transfer of sovereignty. The pact bars China, Russia and other non-NATO states from establishing bases or investing in sensitive sectors there. Danish and Greenlandic leaders voiced cautious optimism, and the formal signing is expected at the UN General Assembly next week.
Saudi civil defense issued air-raid alerts across Riyadh early Saturday, telling residents to shelter indoors before black smoke rose from a jet fuel storage facility at King Khalid International Airport. Authorities have not confirmed whether the strike came from a drone or a missile, though the escalation follows a string of Houthi attacks the kingdom has called a red line. The UN Security Council warned the campaign risks widening the conflict and threatening maritime trade.
An IRGC naval commander claimed Iranian forces hit a Togo-flagged tanker that "attempted to illegally pass through" the strait, as US Central Command reports 104 ships rerouted under the American blockade. Iranian sources concede the regime has roughly two months of gasoline left under sanctions dubbed Operation Economic Outcast. Trump heads to the UN General Assembly to press the case that Iran cannot be allowed a nuclear weapon.
Intruders changed pumping cycles, disabled alarms and altered equipment settings at two Colorado water systems before operators regained control, the governor's office confirmed. Drinking water quality was not affected, but the breach adds Colorado to more than one hundred water and wastewater systems hit across twelve states this year. Small and rural utilities with thin cybersecurity staffing remain the softest targets.
A scientist surveying habitat for the California red-legged frog in San Mateo County spotted an odd rock in a creek bed that turned out to be a Pacific mastodon molar. Researchers estimate the fossil could be up to one hundred thousand years old. It is a reminder that major paleontological finds still happen by accident, in shallow water, on an ordinary field day.
The administration released a new tranche of unidentified aerial phenomena records, including material going all the way back to 1952, as part of an ongoing transparency push. The release lands alongside a documentary following investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell's long campaign for UAP disclosure, with insiders claiming "something is imminent." NASA's administrator has separately acknowledged the agency holds imagery it cannot explain.
