The Supreme Court has extended an order allowing President Donald Trump’s administration to keep frozen nearly $5 billion in foreign aid. The decision hands him another victory in a dispute over presidential power. The court’s conservative majority granted the Republican administration’s emergency appeal in a case involving billions of dollars in congressionally approved aid. Trump said last month that he would not spend the money, invoking disputed authority that was last used by a president roughly 50 years ago. The Justice Department sought the high court’s intervention after a district judge ruled that Trump’s action was likely illegal and that Congress would have to approve withholding the funding.

Federal health officials are warning consumers not to eat certain pasta meals sold at Walmart and Trader Joe's stores nationwide. Marketside Linguine with Beef Meatballs & Marinara Sauce sold at Walmart and Trader Joe's Cajun Style Blackened Chicken Brest Fettucine Alfredo may be contaminated with listeria previously linked to a deadly outbreak. FreshRealm, the food producer that distributed the products, says tests showed that pasta in the meals may be contaminated with the same bacteria tied to a recall of chicken fettuccine Alfredo this summer. That outbreak killed three people and sickened at least 17.
The U.S. Transportation Department has tightened requirements for noncitizens to get commercial driver's licenses after fatal crashes that officials say were caused by immigrant truck drivers. The government announced the change Friday. A nationwide commercial driver’s license audit began after officials say a driver in the country illegally made a U-turn and caused a crash in Florida that killed two people. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy also threatened to revoke $160 million in federal funding for California because the state should never have issued 25% of 145 licenses that investigators reviewed.

Europe's top stars are playing like it in the Ryder Cup and the result was to be expected. Jon Rahm, Tommy Fleetwood and Rory McIlroy led the way at Bethpage Black as Team Europe won both sessions Friday to build a 5 1/2-1 1/2 lead. Rahm was unstoppable with the putter. Europe silenced the notoriously loud crowd at Bethpage Black. Bryson DeChambeau brought the energy. He just forgot to bring the points. He lost both his matches. Scottie Scheffler also lost both his matches. It was the first time since Tiger Woods in 2002 that a No. 1 player started 0-2.
ICE arrests leader of Iowa's largest school district, says he was living and working in US illegally
Federal immigration agents have arrested the leader of Iowa’s largest school district in a targeted enforcement action that shocked students and educators. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Des Moines Public School Superintendent Ian Roberts was in the country illegally and had no work authorization. Roberts, who is from Guyana in South America, was considered an ICE fugitive because he was subject to a final removal order issued in 2024. ICE said that it targeted Roberts for arrest by initiating a traffic stop on Friday while he was driving in his school-issued vehicle. After he fled, officers discovered his vehicle abandoned near a wooded area. He was located and taken into ICE custody with the help of Iowa State Patrol officers.
A group of former national park superintendents is calling on the Trump administration to close the parks to visitors in case of a government shutdown. Forty former superintendents said in a letter to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum that past shutdowns in which parks have remained opened have led to the vandalism of iconic symbols, destruction of wildlife habitats and possible endangerment of visitors. They said parks are already under strain from a 24% reduction in staff and severe budget cuts. Leaving parks open to visitors in a possible shutdown will make it much worse, they said.
