Military action against Iran formally restarted last week, Trump told lawmakers President Trump formally notified Congress that "military action" against Iran restarted last week, according to a letter obtained by CBS News on Monday, as a monthslong ceasefire comes to an end. Military action "commenced on July 7," the president said in a message dated July 10 and addressed to Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the Senate's president pro tempore. The letter was sent after Mr. Trump declared the U.S.-Iran ceasefire "over" and ordered several rounds of strikes on Iranian targets, in response to Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz last week. Iranian authorities have insisted that ships seek permission and use an Iranian-approved route before transiting the strait, and responded to the U.S....more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

12 states sue to block Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger A coalition of a dozen states on Monday sued to block Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, posing a new challenge to the $110 billion deal that would unite two of the nation's largest media companies. Attorneys general from the 12 states, led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, claim that the merger would harm competition in the movie industry and result in lower pay and fewer job opportunities for industry professionals. The states also argue that the merger would hurt consumers by driving up cable package and movie ticket prices and offering fewer news and entertainment choices. "We have antitrust laws and merger controls for a reason, because competition is the lifeblood of a healthy and vibrant...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Millions of Americans take on debt and drain savings to afford food Millions of Americans are borrowing money or draining their savings to buy groceries, highlighting the financial strain many households face as the cost of living rises, new research has found. More than a quarter of working-age adults who relied on credit cards to buy groceries were either unable to pay their balance in full or missed their minimum payment, according to the Urban Institute, a nonpartisan think tank. About one in 10 adults relied on so-called "buy now, pay later" loans to cover their groceries — of those, about a third missed a payment last year, the analysis found. About 20% of working-age adults said they had tapped long-term savings that weren't intended for everyday expenses, such as an emergency fund, at...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Man fatally shot by ICE in Maine was not intended target of warrant, lawmakers say An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Maine fatally shot a man in his car on Monday, the Department of Homeland Security said, marking the second time in a week that ICE officers have used deadly force in the U.S. DHS alleged the man, who was in the country illegally, had "attempted to flee the scene" when ICE tried to stop him at around 7 a.m. ET in Biddeford, Maine, and "fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon." He later died from his injuries. DHS said ICE agents encountered the man while "conducting targeted surveillance on the last known address of an illegal alien with a final order of removal."

Iraq seizes mounds of gold and millions in cash from officials in corruption crackdown Iraqi authorities have seized more than 825 pounds of gold and ten of millions in cash in a series of anti-corruption operations that led to the arrest of at least 21 people, including dozens of government officials and several former and current members of parliament. The seizures were connected to the arrest in May of a former deputy oil minister, Adnan Al-Jumaili, on suspicion of corruption. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi, who took up the role in May, has vowed to tackle graft in the country.

Teare said his office is conducting an investigation into the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent on July 7, saying local investigators have issued "dozens" of subpoenas. The county prosecutor said he launched an "independent, transparent investigation" of the shooting because the community deserved it.

Bipartisan senators introduce Russia sanctions and tariff bill Lindsey Graham championed A bipartisan group of senators introduced a bill championed by Sen. Lindsey Graham that would impose sanctions on top Russian figures and heavy tariffs on the biggest buyers of Russian oil. The "Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026" aims to squeeze Russian leaders in an effort to bring the Kremlin's four-year war on Ukraine to an end. It would target Russia's energy sector, a significant revenue source for its Ukraine war, by placing financial penalties on purchasers of those products. The White House has signaled its support for the bill, CBS News reported last week. The text of the bill had been finalized before Graham met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week in Kyiv, according to a Senate aide.

The bill comes after last month's annual Social Security trustees' report projected that the program's retirement trust fund could become insolvent by 2032, earlier than initially forecast. If that occurs, it would trigger a 22% across-the-board benefit cut, unless Congress acts before then, the report found. The legislation, called the Promise Act, would not itself raise taxes, reduce benefits or change eligibility. Instead, it would direct the bipartisan, seven-member Social Security Advisory Board to draft a bill,...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Genser announced late Wednesday that Karari is now free, writing that she is "safe and traveling back to the United States." Karari was under an exit ban, which means that Iranian authorities refused to let her leave, but did not have her imprisoned. She was never formally charged by Iran.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy continued his push to overhaul the country's top leadership by ousting Defense Minister Mikhailo Fedorov on Wednesday, just a day after parliament accepted Yulia Svyrydenko's resignation as prime minister. The move has surprised many observers who credit the outgoing cabinet with Ukraine's recent successes in countering Russia's ongoing full-scale invasion. Zelenskyy says the changes are aimed at preparing Ukraine for another difficult winter and strengthening relations with key foreign partners.

The order exempts some goods that are not produced in the U.S. or that officials worry would disrupt supply chains.

'The Odyssey' review: Christopher Nolan's new movie is an unexpected spiritual sequel to 'Oppenheimer' Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey, a story adapted so many times and in so many different ways that it's hard to imagine finding a fresh way in, has far more in common with his Best Picture-winning Oppenheimer than you'd think. Maybe we should've taken that movie opening with a quote about Prometheus stealing fire from the gods a bit more seriously! The Odyssey delivers everything you'd want from an epic of this size and scale, and then some.

Senior defense officials looking at Cuba military options As the U.S.-Iran war restarts following the collapse of the weeks-long ceasefire, senior Pentagon officials are also quietly eyeing another flashpoint much closer to home: Cuba. Military planners have in recent weeks examined a range of options for possible action against the island, including an Army-led air assault involving thousands of U.S. soldiers to be carried out by the 101st Airborne Division, the only unit trained for such a task, according to multiple U.S. officials with knowledge of the discussions. The officials, who spoke to CBS News under condition of anonymity to discuss national security matters, stressed that the briefings are not an indication that President Trump or...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

House vote to end Israel aid divides Democrats, with 103 voting to cut off funding House Democrats were sharply divided on whether to cut off aid to Israel during a floor vote on the issue Wednesday, marking the latest flashpoint in the party's rift over support for the U.S. ally. The amendment — which was introduced by GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who has consistently opposed foreign aid — would have eliminated $3.3 billion in assistance to Israel. Massie submitted the amendment to the annual State Department appropriations bill that the House passed later Wednesday. The amendment failed in a 104-314-10 vote, with 103 Democrats voting in favor, 98 voting against and 10 voting present.

Mississippi homeowners blame a noisy data center plant for sleepless nights. The mayor's advice? "Consider selling." It was 4 a.m. on a Sunday and 46-year-old Jason Haley was once again wide awake. The suburban silence that Haley had grown used to in his two decades as a resident of Southaven, Mississippi, had, for the last few months, been replaced by a constant whirring, like an airplane hovering over his home, he said. The noise keeping Haley awake was coming from a plant powering Elon Musk's xAI data centers in the area, according to a lawsuit filed in June against the company and its subsidiary, MZX Tech. Haley and two other Southaven residents, who live within a mile of the plant, allege in the suit that "near-constant" noise and vibrations are causing negative physical and psychological health effects.

It would create rounding guidelines for businesses and consumers to lean on for cash transactions when they do not have exact change on hand. Currently, establishments are vulnerable to litigation if they fail to provide customers with exact change, even when they round up in a patron's favor.

Foreclosure filings surged 21% this year. Here are the states where they are rising fastest. Foreclosures across the U.S. ballooned in the first half of the year, a sign of the increasing financial strain facing the nation's homeowners. Foreclosure filings reached nearly 228,000 from January to June, up 21% from a year ago and 28% from two years ago, according to data released Thursday from real estate data company ATTOM. Rising foreclosure rates indicate that more homeowners are in financial distress, Rob Barber, CEO of ATTOM, said in a statement. Homes go into foreclosure when the owner falls behind on mortgage payments, often due to extenuating life circumstances such as a job loss.

His last two free agent contracts came for the minimum salary in 2024 and a 20% raise on that minimum salary through Non-Bird Rights in 2024. The 2023 Collective Bargaining Agreement has made NBA finances tighter than ever, with teams far less willing to hand out pricey, long-term deals than before. All told, the expectation on merit would have been for Trent to get only a minimum or near-minimum deal.

DOJ says it's no longer illegal to download TikTok on federal devices The Justice Department determined this week a federal law banning TikTok from government devices no longer applies to the social video app. The written opinion from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel — an office that offers legal advice to the executive branch — was issued six months after TikTok's U.S.-based operations were shifted to a new joint venture mostly made up of American investors. The social network's prior ownership by Beijing-based ByteDance, which still holds a minority stake, had drawn years of national security concerns and caused TikTok to face a looming nationwide ban.

Deadly Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities kill 6 and expose defense gaps: "One missile after another" Russia attacked Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities with ballistic missiles, drones and guided bombs Sunday, killing at least six people and wounding dozens, authorities said, again highlighting Ukraine's shortage of U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems. Moscow has in recent weeks stepped up its use of ballistic missiles as it seeks to choke off Ukrainian strikes on oil facilities deep inside Russia that have caused critical fuel shortages affecting both the military and the civilian population. President Trump has said he is prepared to grant Ukraine licenses to produce Patriots, the most effective means of intercepting Russian ballistic missiles, potentially bolstering Kyiv's defenses. However, the details and timeline remain...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

"Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive," the FDA said. In the statement announcing the false positive, the FDA said that as of Sunday it had not found any "confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora."

FBI shifts immigration agent cases to HSI after recent fatal shootings, sources say The FBI will no longer participate in investigations into cases involving alleged assaults on immigration agents, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. The federal law enforcement agency would instead be deferring such investigations to Homeland Security Investigations, the sources said. The FBI field offices were informed of the change on Thursday, according to the sources. HSI is an arm of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, both of which are overseen by the Department of Homeland Security, meaning the immigration enforcement agency would effectively be investigating incidents involving its own agents.

She was set to be a model at New York Fashion Week in September 2025, so she had spent the past several months focusing on her physique. She knew her body well, and she knew what a bump like this might mean. McCullough, then 39, wanted to get it checked out, but getting care was harder than she expected: A mobile mammogram provider turned her away because she wasn't 40, when the American Cancer Society recommends women start receiving regular mammograms. She had to get a referral from her primary care provider, but the wait for an appointment was long.

Iranian state TV When an Iranian missile hits its intended target, it's because U.S. air defenses either failed to intercept it, or failed to even see it coming in the first place. "One leaked through," is how Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the Iranian attack on an air base in Jordan that killed two U.S. soldiers and left one missing in action on Friday.

About 90% of those who admitted to shoplifting cited affordability concerns and the broader economy as among the drivers of their thefts, according to the LendingTree study, which surveyed 2,000 people in early June. Inflation has accelerated this year, largely because the Iran war has sent oil and gasoline prices sharply higher.

CENTCOM acknowledged in the same statement that Iran had launched more than 30 attacks on commercial vessels since the war began, which it said had "endangered hundreds of innocent mariners and undermined freedom of navigation."

Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady, but 3 officials vote for hike The Federal Reserve said on Wednesday that it is leaving its benchmark interest rate unchanged, a sign policymakers expect inflation to ebb despite higher energy costs due to the war in Iran. This marks the fifth consecutive time the central bank has kept interest rates in the target range of 3.5% to 3.75%. The last time Fed officials voted to change interest rates was in December 2025, when it reduced its key rate by 0.25 percentage points. Yet while the Fed voted to stand pat, three of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)'s 12 voting members dissented from the decision. Such disagreement on the rate-setting panel is unusual, suggesting that some Fed officials are inclined to act now to extinguish inflation, according to Wall Street...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Mortgage rates hit highest level in a year amid persistent inflation fears Mortgage rates in the U.S. hit their highest level in a year on Thursday as renewed tensions in the Middle East and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision this week fanned inflation concerns. The rate on a conventional 30-year mortgage averaged 6.66% in the week ending July 30, the highest level since July 2025, according to data from Freddie Mac. Inflation can drive up mortgage rates, which tend to track the bond market, particularly the 10-year Treasury yield. Those yields jumped after the Fed on Wednesday left its benchmark interest rate unchanged. Despite that decision, three members of the central bank's rate-setting panel voted for a rate hike,...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

U.S. intelligence agencies warn Putin could test NATO by authorizing provocative actions American intelligence assessments indicate Russian President Vladimir Putin could be increasingly willing to authorize provocative actions that could extend onto NATO territory, U.S. officials briefed on the matter told CBS News. Those actions could include hybrid operations, cyberattacks and other deniable measures short of a conventional military campaign, the officials said. The assessments reflect a shift in Putin's risk calculus compared with just a few months ago, U.S. officials say. The likely goal would not necessarily be to trigger a broader conflict, but to test NATO's unity and the Trump administration's willingness to respond to an attack on a...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Feds could scrap rules requiring airlines to disclose airfares in full Shopping for plane tickets and comparing airfares across carriers could become more complicated if a Department of Transportation proposal to change current regulations moves forward, according to aviation industry experts.

That helps consumers evaluate the all-in cost of a ticket upfront and avoid being surprised by ancillary costs when they click "buy."
