| Surveys Reveal Most Jews Feel Unsafe, Antisemitism Increasing A recent surge in antisemitism is causing widespread fear and prompting American Jews to alter their daily lives, with a significant majority feeling less safe and over half changing their routines.  Incidents of antisemitism and hate crimes against the Jews have been on the rise ever since the attack in Gaza back in October of 2023. “Antisemitism has reached a tipping point in America…That one-third of American Jews have been the target of antisemitism in the past year should raise red flags for every American and our leaders,” American Jewish Committee (AJC) CEO Ted Deutch said via the AJC website.

The Great Awakening and the American Revolution This July is the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the event considered to be the birthday of America. Along with the celebrations of what President Trump is calling our “Super Centennial,” will be resurfaced arguments about whether the founding of the country was a product of Christianity or Enlightenment Deism. Among the best answers was given by Michael Novak, in his book On Two Wings. The title is a way of summarizing Novak’s assertion, that the American Eagle flies on both the empirical tradition of Enlightenment thinker John Locke and the Christian faith. A good example of the role evangelical Christianity played in inspiring the American Revolution is The Great Awakening. The religious revivals of the 1730s and ‘40s are most often associated with...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| How the DEFIANCE Act Protects the Vulnerable in the Age of AI AI-generated deepfakes are being used to exploit innocent people without their consent. Learn why the DEFIANCE Act matters and how we can stand for justice, dignity, and the protection of the vulnerable.  Growing up, my parents warned me to never post photos on the internet. Before the days of social media, this was pretty easy and avoidable. As I grew older, however, and received an Instagram account, I learned that I could post photos, but they should always be appropriate. As we all know, once something hits cyberspace, it’s no longer “ours.” It can be found virtually anywhere, even if we delete it. Today, we live in a different world.

8 dead in blast, blaze in fireworks shop in China ahead of Chinese New Year Donhai County, in extreme eastern China about halfway up the coast.

The Ring Super Bowl ad portrayed a family's search for their lost dog, with the manufacturer's internet-enabled doorbell coming to the rescue by showing additional smart doorbells around the neighborhood scanning for the pet and using AI to identify the lost animal.

Trump administration moves to end "universally hated" start/stop feature for cars The Trump administration said it's ending a credit for automakers that install a so-called "start/stop feature" in the vehicles, part of a broader rollback of environmental regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The start/stop feature, which is today widely used in newer vehicles, shuts off gas engines when cars idle, such as when they're stopped at a red light or stuck in traffic. The Environmental Protection Agency described the technology as "almost universally hated" in its Thursday announcement about the broader overhaul. About two-thirds of cars are now manufactured with the start/stop feature, which is aimed at making internal combustion engines more fuel efficient while...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Bukayo Saka's position switch offers Mikel Arteta hope amid Arsenal's latest injury crisis The Gunners were easy winners on Sunday in the FA Cup and showed off a wrinkle that can help them navigate their latest injury crisis  Getty Images It was a tactical gambit only brought about by an injury in the warm-up. It was one that Mikel Arteta had had more than six years to play about with, something he had only done fleetingly. And it was the first look that he moved on from with a halftime substitution. Basically, Bukayo Saka's dalliance with central midfield in this 4-0 shellacking of Wigan Athletic is probably just going to be one of those curios that is left to gather dust in the vault.

Venezuela had faced U.S. sanctions on its oil for several years, relying on a shadow fleet of falsely flagged tankers to smuggle crude into global supply chains. President Trump ordered a quarantine of sanctioned tankers in December to pressure then-President Nicolás Maduro before Maduro was apprehended in January during an American military operation.

Trump has discussed timeline for Iran strikes — including as soon as this weekend — but no decision yet Top national security officials have told President Trump the military is ready for potential strikes on Iran as soon as Saturday, but the timeline for any action is likely to extend beyond this weekend, sources familiar with the discussions told CBS News.

"There is a lot of dust that has yet to be settled — companies don't know what they will be charged." Mr. Trump himself is kicking up some of that dust.

Social Security trust fund could run dry earlier than expected, analysis finds Social Security's main trust fund could be depleted a year earlier than expected, according to a projection from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released earlier this month.

Trump administration labels Iran a state sponsor of wrongful detention Ahead of the decision to launch military strikes on Iran, the Trump administration on Friday formally designated Iran as a state sponsor of wrongful detention. The designation, announced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, activates authorities created under an executive order signed in September that expanded the government's ability to penalize countries accused of detaining Americans for political bargaining power. This is the first time a country has been formally labeled under that framework. "For decades, Iran has continued to cruelly detain innocent Americans, as well as citizens of other nations, to use as political leverage against other states," Rubio said in a statement.

Iran's Supreme Leader presumed dead after U.S.-Israel strikes, sources say Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is presumed dead after a massive U.S. and Israeli military operation Saturday, multiple Israeli official sources told CBS News. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier Saturday that there are "growing signs" that Khamenei is "gone" after the mission. People are cheering in the streets of Tehran, according to a CBS News producer in Tehran. But the state media in Tehran has not confirmed Khamenei's death, and neither has the Iranian Foreign Ministry. Khamenei, 86, had been Iran's supreme leader since 1989, succeeding the leader of Iran's 1979 revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

"We are still interested in working with them as long as it is in line with our red lines," he said.

"I don't think anyone can give you a simple answer," Cotton said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan. "There's probably a lot of jockeying inside of Iran right now; they have a very consultative, deliberative process to replace the supreme leader.

Oil prices rise sharply in market trading after U.S.-Iran attacks disrupt global supply Oil prices rose sharply when market trading began late Sunday, as U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran and retaliatory strikes against Israel and U.S. military installations around the Gulf sent disruptions through the global energy supply chain. Traders were betting the supply of oil from Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East would slow or grind to a halt. Attacks throughout the region, including on two vessels traveling through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf, could restrict countries' ability to export oil to the rest of the world. That would likely result in higher prices for crude oil and gasoline, according to energy experts. West Texas...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

House to vote on curbing Trump's Iran war powers The House is set to vote Thursday on a measure to block President Trump from taking further military action against Iran without congressional support, a day after a similar effort fell short in the Senate.

And further, two-thirds say the administration should obtain approval from Congress for further military action. Barring any last-minute surprises, however, the resolution is expected to meet the same fate in the House as it did in the Senate. GOP Rep.

The sanctions, revealed by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control and first reported by CBS News, target networks that allegedly helped North Korean operatives pose as legitimate information technology specialists, securing jobs at legitimate companies using stolen identities, forged documents and fake online personas.

Strike on Thai tanker in Strait of Hormuz may be message to the U.S., analyst says Smoke rises Thai tanker "Mayuree Naree" after it is struck in the Strait of Hormuz. Royal Thai Navy /AFP via Getty Images The Iranian regime may have been decapitated in the early moments of the war, but analysts say the second foundational moment of the conflict occurred Wednesday, when a Thai-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz was struck by a projectile. According to a former officer who designed missiles for the U.S. Navy, the ship was likely hit with a C-802 Noor missile just above the waterline near the engine room. Newer versions of the missile have a range of up to 200 miles and can be fired from ships, coastal batteries, aircraft or trucks. The strike appears...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Cuba will release 51 people from prison, an unexpected move amid pressure from Trump Cuba's government said Thursday night it would release 51 people from the island's prisons, in an unexpected move that comes as the Trump administration puts immense pressure on the country. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that the release will take place in the coming days. It cast the release as an act of goodwill stemming from the country's close relationship with the Vatican, which has helped broker prisoner release deals and U.S.-Cuba normalization talks in the past. The government did not identify who it would release, except to say that "all have served a significant part of their sentence and have maintained good conduct in prison."

The authorization will last one month, and applies to petroleum products from Russia that were loaded onto ships on or before Thursday, according to documents issued by the Treasury.

As pennies begin to disappear, states grappling with "rounding" problem for cash purchases Months after the last of the United States' one-cent coins were pressed, some states are beginning to offer their own two cents on the penny problem by setting rounding guidance for cash purchases. President Trump announced an end to penny production early last year, saying it was wasteful. It cost 3.7 cents to make each 1-cent coin in 2024, according to the U.S. Mint's annual report from that year. The move led to a shortage of pennies in cash registers last summer, forcing consumers and businesses to confront a penniless future in which making exact change would be difficult.

"In the interest of national defense, the White House is considering waiving the Jones Act for a limited period of time to ensure vital energy products and agricultural necessities are flowing freely to U.S. ports," White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to CBS News.
