At least six Americans were exposed to Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo, sources with international aid organizations told CBS News, although it was unclear if any had been infected. Three of the Americans faced a high-risk contact or exposure, the sources said, and one was symptomatic. It wasn't immediately clear whether the Americans are still in Congo. The health news organization STAT was first to report on the exposures. The World Health Organization this week declared the Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda a "public health emergency of international concern." At least 80 suspected deaths have been reported, the WHO said Saturday.

President Donald Trump is back from China with a very clear message to the Iranian regime. “For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!” Before Trump left for China, it was clear that his patience with the Iranian regime was wearing thin. So if they didn't get it before, they should listen now. It's time to fish or cut bait, and if they do not, they're going to have a very unfortunate 'find out" moment. The Iranian regime still appears to be misbehaving, as they're believed to be behind a serious drone strike

AUSTIN, Texas — Two people were in custody and a third suspect was being sought following at least 10 random weekend shootings in Austin, Texas, including at fire stations, that left four people injured, city officials said Sunday. The city had ordered residents of a large part of the southern area of Texas’ capital city to shelter in place Sunday while the search continued. With two suspects in custody, the order was later lifted, the Austin Police Department said in a post on X. The shootings occurred Saturday night and Sunday morning, two of them at fire stations,

Democratic lawmakers on Friday slammed the Trump administration over reports that President Donald Trump would drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service in an exchange for what some called a $1.7 billion “slush fund.” “This administration is dripping with corruption from top to bottom, but rushing a settlement to steal $1.7 billion taxpayer dollars for a slush fund before a judge can toss your junk lawsuit would be among the most corrupt acts in American political history,” Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee. “This lawsuit has never been anything more

President Donald Trump is expected to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service in exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion fund to compensate allies who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. The commission overseeing the compensation fund would have the total authority to hand out approximately $1.7 billion in taxpayer funds to settle claims brought by anyone who alleges they were harmed by the Biden administration's "weaponization" of the legal system, including the nearly 1,600 individuals charged in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol attack

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced this week that April marked twelve consecutive months of zero releases of illegal aliens apprehended by Border Patrol at the southwest border with Mexico into the United States — a milestone officials say reflects the most secure border in American history under President Donald Trump. DHS reports a 94 percent drop in illegal border apprehensions compared to the Biden era, with daily crossings now lower than what agents encountered in a single hour at the height of the 2023 crisis. Twelve straight months of ZERO releases at the border. Under President Donald Trump’s leadership, we are delivering the most secure border in American history,”

President Donald Trump continues his state visit to China, and as RedState’s Nick Arama reported Thursday, the trip appears to be going very well as Chinese President Xi Jinping rolled out the red carpet for the U.S. delegation. More importantly, the two leaders have come to agreement on a number of issues, from increasing Chinese investment into our industries to stopping the flow of fentanyl precursors to cooperating on keeping open the Strait of Hormuz. Crucially, as Arama wrote, “Both countries agreed that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.” With the serious meetings out of the way for the moment, it was time for a luxe state dinner:

As we go toward the 2026 midterms, normally, the party out of power - in this case, the Democrats - would have the edge. But redistricting has made things much closer. On top of that, Democrats still have the problem that the voters don't think very highly of them, as we reported. CNN senior data analyst Harry Enten explained that, in addition to redistricting, which is likely to deliver more seats to Republicans, their generic Congressional ballot numbers have gotten worse since March, and they are now within the margin of error.

Anchorman director Adam McKay called former President Bill Clinton “a straight up serial rapist,” said “Hillary Clinton, literally funded Trump’s campaign,” slammed Joe Biden for not declaring “a climate emergency when he was a lame duck president,” called Barack Obama a “creep” who has done “damage” to America, and said “no group is worse than white liberals.” During a lengthy conversation with climate doom podcaster Jesse Damiani, McKay questioned why the Democrat Party still garners any level of mainstream support. “You have to look at the U.S. and wonder why after all the horrible things the Democrats had sold us out on their abject corruption,”

A Democrat congressional candidate in deep East Texas said that his first vote as a U.S. Representative would be to impeach Donald Trump. The candidate also told a local ABC affiliate that he opposes border walls and would support a bill similar to an amnesty plan proposed by Congress during the Biden administration. Democrat congressional candidate Dan Alexander told KLTV ABC7 in Tyler, Texas, that he would support an effort to impeach President Trump if he were elected to the state’s 1st Congressional District — a seat currently held by Republican Nathaniel Moran. He called the immigration enforcement policy of mass deportation “an assault on the American people.” “Walls don’t work,”

CENTCOM chief Adm. Brad Cooper said Thursday that Iran’s military capabilities have been “severely degraded” across “every domain” following the U.S. air campaign against the Islamic Republic, declaring that every military objective set out for Operation Epic Fury had been achieved while asserting that the Iranian regime’s terror proxies — Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis — have been “completely cut off” from weapons supplies and support from Tehran. Speaking before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Cooper described an Iranian regime whose military-industrial base, proxy network, naval forces, and command structure had all been severely battered during the nearly six-week kinetic phase of the conflict. “We met every military objective for Epic Fury,”

Thursday on MS NOW’s “The Weeknight,” Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) said when Democrats win back the majority in the midterm elections, they will investigate President Donald Trump, his family and his cronies. Co-host Symone Sanders said, “The President of the United States has demonstrated that he does not care about the Constitution or our democracy by way of his actions and so our Senate Democrats are talking about right now what they are willing to do when and if you all get power back?” Markey said, “First thing is, we have to restore all the Medicaid cuts, all the Affordable Care Act cuts, all the all the cuts for
