Latest effort to rein in Trump on Iran falls short in House vote The latest vote in the House to block President Trump from taking further military action against Iran narrowly failed Thursday as the war approaches its third month and the off-ramp remains uncertain. The war powers resolution, introduced by Democratic Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, failed in a 213 to 214 vote, with one voting present. One Republican voted with nearly all Democrats, just shy of the support it needed for passage. It's the latest test of Congress' support for the war that Mr. Trump has claimed for weeks would be over "soon." Democrats in both the House and Senate stressed a renewed urgency to reining in the president's authority on Iran after he threatened last week to...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Cuba will "be ready" for possible U.S. attack amid Trump threats, leader says Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said Thursday that his country will "be ready" for a possible attack from the United States as President Trump's rhetoric against Cuba continues to escalate. Earlier this week, Mr. Trump said his administration could focus on Cuba after the war in Iran ends. With Cuba's crisis deepening as a result of a U.S. energy blockade, Díaz-Canel said that he does not want U.S. military aggression to come to Cuba. He said that the country will be prepared to fight back if it happens. "The moment is extremely challenging and calls upon us once again, as on April 16, 1961, to be ready to confront serious threats, including military aggression.

| Mets' misery continues as historic losing streak extends to 12 with loss to Twins At 7-16, the Mets have the worst record in baseball  Imagn Images The New York Mets' losing streak is now 12 games, the longest endured by the club since the 2002 season and one that makes them the first team in MLB history to log a winning season and then endure a losing streak of such length in April of the following season.

Hungary drops veto, clearing path for $106 billion EU loan to Ukraine The European Union issued preliminary approval on a $106 billion loan for Ukraine Wednesday, after Hungary lifted its months-long veto on the funds. Most of the funding will go toward Ukraine's defense sector, which officials in Kyiv say is central to Europe's long-term security. The move may also signal a more constructive relationship with the bloc following the ouster of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán earlier this month. The loan, originally introduced in December, had been held up by a dispute between Hungary and Ukraine over an oil pipeline that runs through Ukrainian territory. Orbán vetoed the funds in February, accusing Ukraine of shutting down the Druzhba Pipeline, which delivers...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Airline ticket prices have jumped because of higher oil and jet fuel costs stemming from the Iran war. With prices likely to stay elevated, aviation experts urged consumers to move quickly to lock in their travel plans. "If you haven't booked for this summer, get busy," Henry Harteveldt, an airline industry analyst with Atmosphere Research Group, told CBS News. "Don't wait, hoping that the fares are going to go down," he added. "They're not."

In fact, she was the victim of a horrendous one. In 2022, Ramos was sexually assaulted by a group of men, which compounded her existing mental struggles and led to at least two suicide attempts. One of the attempts left her with permanent injury and constant pain. Eventually, she appealed to die by euthanasia, which had been legalized in Spain in 2021. For two years, her parents tried to save her with the help of a Christian law group. In the end, the government and medical authorities determined her life was not worth living. One of her friends was even prevented from saying goodbye to Ramos out of fear that she’d convince her to change her mind and want to live.

In 8 weeks, the Iran war has dented the U.S. economy. The damage could linger, economists say. In the eight weeks since the Iran war started, the conflict has driven gas prices above $4 a gallon, strained homebuyers and pushed inflation to its highest level in nearly two years. Even if the war ends soon, Americans are likely to feel the financial sting for months, economists say. "I think the damage has already been done, in part because there's no going back on oil prices, at least not any time in the near future," Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, told CBS News. The war has disrupted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which one-fifth of the world's oil supply normally flows.

United Arab Emirates says it will permanently leave OPEC on May 1 The United Arab Emirates said on Tuesday that it is leaving the OPEC oil cartel after more than 50 years of membership. The UAE said its decision to exit OPEC followed an "extensive review" of its production policy and future capacity. The statement also cited "geopolitical fluctuations" affecting short-term oil supplies, a reference to the Iran war. The conflict has caused oil prices to surge as the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of the world's oil supply normally flows daily, remains blocked. There has been speculation about whether the UAE would continue to participate in OPEC, given the country's desire to increase oil production, according to Capital Economics.

In May, the agency will give young travelers $20 off the signup fee, which covers a five-year membership. That brings the cost of TSA PreCheck down to $56.75 and $65, depending on how travelers enroll, according to the agency. Enrolling in the program typically costs travelers looking to speed through airport security between $79.95 and $85. People can sign up through three different authorized enrollment providers: CLEAR, IDEMIA and Telos.

Chris Brown Battling To Exclude Rihanna Assault at Dog Bite Trial Chris Brown is asking a Los Angeles judge to bar any mention of his 2009 felony assault of ex-girlfriend Rihanna at his upcoming dog-bite trial — but the housekeeper suing him says not so fast. In a new filing obtained by Rolling Stone, the housekeeper argues Brown’s bid for a blanket ban is “overbroad, premature, and legally incorrect,” saying it tries to shut down potential evidence “without regard to purpose, context, or trial developments.” Brown was arrested in February 2009 for attacking Rihanna in a parked car on a Los Angeles street in the predawn hours before the Grammy Awards. Prosecutors said he punched, choked, and bit her, and also...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

In fact, Colbert often jokes about it on air. But with less than a month to go, the late-night host sat down with the New York Times for a more serious assessment of the show’s finale. CBS said the cancellation was “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night” but Colbert has frequently pointed out that the verdict came two days after he called Paramount Global’s $16 million sett Still, he told the NYT, he does not want to argue. “I do not dispute their rationale.

The first matchup between New York and Philadelphia was supposed to be the start of what most expected to be the most competitive series of the round, a rematch of an epic 2024 series that went six games. Nope. New York blew the doors off of Philadelphia in a 137-98 Game 1 victory. The second game, meanwhile, was the one we expected to be simple. The Timberwolves were hobbled. No Ayo Dosunmu.

More than 80% consider the price of prescription drugs "unreasonable," and most support increased regulation to lower costs.

Bear kills woman in Japan, 2 more deadly attacks suspected Japan confirmed Friday the first fatal bear attack of 2026 after a record 13 deaths last year, with reports pointing to a jump in sightings as the animals emerge hungry from hibernation.

Record sightings have been reported again this year as the bears emerge from their winter slumber, according to local media.

Thousands of asylum-seekers abandon their cases as ICE seeks to deport them to nations they aren't from Willian Yacelga Benalcazar's asylum case followed what had become a similar pattern in immigration courts across the country: After telling a judge he feared returning to his home country, the judge ordered his deportation to another one. Yacelga, who said he fled threats from criminal gangs in Ecuador, was facing removal to Honduras. By March, he had spent five months in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention, where he said he caught a virus, had to fight for food and drank water contaminated with chlorine. So he asked to be sent back to his native Ecuador rather than continue to fight his case in the U.S. "I believe we abandoned the asylum case because...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Instead, Xi will be focused on Taiwan, the tiny island democracy in the western Pacific Ocean that China claims as its own. Ownership of the island is the top issue in the U.S.-Chinese relationship. The U.S. has maintained a policy of "strategic ambiguity towards" Taiwan for decades, refusing to state whether or not it would intervene militarily if China attacked Taiwan.

That view was partly based on the expectation that Kevin Warsh, President Trump's nominee to succeed Jerome Powell as Fed chair, would steer policymakers toward easing monetary policy.

Chart: Mary Cunningham and Grace Manthey / CBS News • Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration A move by the Trump administration to suspend the federal gasoline tax would offer only modest relief to U.S. drivers socked by soaring fuel costs, according to tax and energy experts. Americans face the highest prices at the pump since 2022, with a gallon of gas surging roughly $1.54 since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran in late February. On Monday, drivers nationwide paid an average of $4.52 a gallon, according to AAA. "I think it's a great idea," President Trump told CBS News White House correspondent Nancy Cordes on Monday of the plan to temporarily lift the gas tax. "Yup, we're going to take off the gas tax for a period of time, and when gas...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Their son died of a drug overdose after consulting ChatGPT. Now they're suing OpenAI. A Texas couple whose son died of an overdose in 2025 after using OpenAI's ChatGPT tool to get information about drugs sued the technology company on Tuesday, blaming the AI platform for his death.

The AI platform provided advice it was not qualified to dispense, they alleged in the lawsuit, claiming that Sam would still be alive if not for ChatGPT's flawed programming. Specifically, the platform advised the couple's son that it was safe to take kratom, a supplement used in...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

A study by the University of Toronto suggests a roughly 42% reduction in visits to U.S. cities by residents of Canada last year. The drop — much steeper than official border crossing statistics suggest — is largely attributed to mounting political and trade tension between the two countries. By tracking cellphone activity, University of Toronto researchers found "a year-over-year median decline of approximately 42% in Canadian visits to U.S. metropolitan areas." According to official statistics, the number of Canadians who entered the country after returning from the U.S. in 2025 was down 25%, while the number of U.S. residents...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |
