Iran to continue nuclear talks with the US

Iran’s president says his country will continue talks over its rapidly advancing nuclear program but will not withdraw from its rights because of U.S. threats. In a speech to navy officials broadcast Saturday, President Masoud Pezeshkian says, “We are negotiating and we will negotiate, we are not after war but we do not fear any threat.” President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to unleash airstrikes targeting Iran’s program if a deal isn’t reached. A major sticking point in the negotiations remains Iran’s enrichment of uranium, which Tehran insists it must be allowed to do and the Trump administration increasingly insists the Islamic Republic must give up. Republicans forge their tax bill House Republicans are in the final rounds of negotiations over a sweeping budget plan that has been significantly influenced by President Donald Trump's priorities. Many GOP lawmakers expect the bill will only make it through the finish line if Trump personally weighs in with members. It is not unusual in the modern era for a president to direct the legislative priorities in Congress, but many House Republicans see Trump’s role as singular and decisive as they aim to pass the bill before Memorial Day.

Oklahoma Inks Deal With UAE Company To Build $4B Aluminum Smelting Facility

Oklahoma state officials announced a deal Friday with a private company in the United Arab Emirates for the construction of a $4 billion aluminum manufacturing facility in northeast Oklahoma. Gov. Kevin Stitt and Oklahoma Department of Commerce officials say the deal with Emirates Global Aluminum would result in the first new aluminum smelting facility to be built in the U.S. in 45 years. The annual capacity of the smelter would be about 600,000 tons (544,000 metric tons) of primary aluminum, according to a memorandum of understanding signed by Stitt and the company's CEO. The project is expected to create about 1,000 direct jobs and 1,800 indirect jobs, commerce officials said. The facility would be constructed on more than 350 acres (140 hectares) at the Port of Inola, east of Tulsa. The agreement is contingent upon the Oklahoma Legislature approving a package of financial incentives that includes $275 million from the state, as well as state property, sales and inventory tax exemptions.

Trump Says Iran Has A Proposal From U.S. On Its Nuclear Program

U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that Iran has an American proposal over its rapidly advancing nuclear program as negotiations between the two countries go on. Trump made the comment aboard Air Force One as he ended his trip to the United Arab Emirates, the last stop on his three-nation tour of the Middle East. Trump did not elaborate on the substance of the proposal and Iran did not immediately acknowledge having it. On Thursday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spoke to journalists at the Tehran International Book Fair and said that Iran did not have any proposal from the Americans yet.

After Putin no-showed in Turkey, Trump says he'll meet Russian leader soon

President Donald Trump says he may call Russian President Vladimir Putin soon, after Putin skipped peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey. Trump is pushing for a face-to-face meeting with Putin in a bid to end Russia's 3-year-old war in Ukraine. Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Friday while beginning his journey from the Middle East back to Washington he and Putin “will meet.” Trump says he thinks they'll “solve it or maybe not" but if they don't solve it "it’ll be very interesting.” Russia and Ukraine are holding their first direct peace talks in three years, gathering in Istanbul. Trump says Putin didn’t want to go because he’s not there.

WI Judge Accused Of Helping A Man Dodge Immigration Agents Seeks Donations For Attorneys

A Wisconsin judge charged with helping a man illegally evade immigration agents is seeking donations to fund her court defense. Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan announced Friday that she's set up a fund to cover the costs of her defense. The fund issued a statement saying that the case against her is an “unprecedented attack on the independent judiciary by the federal government.” Dugan has hired a group of high-powered lawyers led by former U.S. Attorney Steve Biskupic. She's looking to tap into anger on the left over the case to help pay them. Dozens of people demonstrated outside Dugan's arraignment Thursday at the federal courthouse in Milwaukee, demanding she be set free and accusing the Trump administration of going too far. Federal prosecutors allege Eduardo Flores-Ruiz was in Dugan's courtroom on April 18 for a hearing in a domestic violence case when Dugan learned immigration agents were in the courthouse looking to arrest him. According to court documents, Flores-Ruiz illegally returned to the U.S. after he was deported in 2013. Angry that agents were in the courthouse and calling the situation “absurd,” Dugan led Flores-Ruiz out a back door in her courtroom, according to an FBI affidavit. Agents eventually captured him following a foot chase outside the building. FBI agents arrested Dugan at the county courthouse on April 25. A grand jury on Tuesday indicted her on one count of obstruction and one count of concealing a person to prevent arrest. The charges carry a total maximum sentence of six years in federal prison. Dugan pleaded not guilty during her arraignment. Her attorneys have filed a motion seeking to dismiss the case, arguing that she was controlling movement in her courtroom in her official capacity as a judge and therefore is immune from prosecution. The state Supreme Court suspended Dugan following her arrest. A reserve judge has taken over her cases. The fund statement said that Dugan plans to resume her work as a judge and they won't accept contributions that could compromise her judicial integrity. She will accept money only from U.S. citizens but won't take donations from Milwaukee County residents; attorneys who practice in the county; lobbyists; judges; parties with pending matters before any Milwaukee County judge; and county employees. She will accept money they would take money only from U.S. citizens. Former state Supreme Court Justice Janine Geske will manage the fund.

Millions Across U.S. Under Threat Of Tornadoes, Storms

Storms accompanied by deep, booming thunder, lightning displays and powerful winds swept through parts of Wisconsin, Illinois, northern Indiana and Michigan overnight — leaving scores of trees down and thousands of homes without power. The National Weather Service issued tornado warnings and watches across the region Thursday night into early Friday morning. Several tornadoes touched down Thursday in central Wisconsin. None of the twisters have received ratings yet, said Timm Uhlmann, weather service meteorologist in Green Bay. “We’re still gathering reports,” Uhlmann said. “We’re assessing some of the damage and still getting video and pictures. The damage that we have is fairly widespread. There was a lot of large hail. In Eau Claire was one report of softball-sized hail.” No injuries have been reported. Surveys also were underway Friday of damage in Michigan to determine if any tornadoes touched down there, according to Steven Freitag, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in White Lake Township, northwest of Detroit. The storms were fueled by temperatures in the lower 80s that stretched from Illinois into Michigan and were activated by a cold front that pushed through, Freitag said. A wind gust of 76 mph (122 kph) was reported Thursday night in Battle Creek, Michigan, while Grand Haven, Michigan, recorded a gust of 68 mph (109 kph). The storms lost their intensity as they moved further east, Freitag added. Indiana Michigan Power, which services parts of northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan, reported Friday morning that more than 31,000 homes and businesses were without electricity. That includes about 90% of the utility's southwestern Michigan customers. The storms initially knocked out power to 35,000 customers. Damage included downed trees and power lines, and broken utility poles. About 216,000 Consumers Energy customers in Michigan also lost power. ComEd crews in Illinois were working Friday to restore power to about 73,000 of more 155,000 customers who initially lost service Thursday, the utility said. It said Chicago, Joliet and Crestwood were among the hardest hit areas. The threat of severe weather in Chicago delayed a Beyonce concert by about two hours Thursday at Soldier Field. Freitag said the main cold front was still moving east Friday. Severe thunderstorms were expected to continue through parts of Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, southern Illinois and southern Indiana, the weather service said. Those storms could produce some hurricane-force winds, tornadoes and baseball-size hail. “This will include intense supercells associated with tornadoes, large hail and wind damage,” the weather service said on its Storm Prediction Center webpage. “Several strong tornadoes are expected, and a long-track high-end tornado will be possible.” Searing heat was forecast Friday for the South and southeastern United States. From Texas into eastern Virginia, temperatures were expected to top 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26.7 degrees Celsius) and even move above 90 F (32.2 C) in some places, according to the weather service. A heat advisory was issued for the San Antonio and Austin areas in Texas with high temperatures at a blistering 95 F (35 C) to 105 (40.5 C). By 1 p.m. Friday, the temperature in Tampa, Florida, had already topped 90. A high of 90 was expected for Washington.

Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' Fails To Pass House Vote

Iowa Can Continue To Restrict Instruction On Gender Identity And Sexual Orientation In Schools

Iowa can continue to restrict instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation in schools up through the sixth grade, a federal judge said, but has to allow nonmandatory programs related to the topics. U.S. District Judge Stephen Locher offered a split decision late Thursday, siding in part with a LGBTQ advocacy organization, teachers and students who sued the state. Attorney General Brenna Bird said in a statement Friday that she is committed to defending Iowa's law protecting children and her office is “looking at next steps, including appeal.” In a separate ruling in March, Locher again temporarily blocked another disputed component of the law, which would prohibit school libraries from carrying books that depict sex acts. Iowa has asked the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn that decision. Republican majorities in the Iowa House and Senate passed the law in 2023, intending to reinforce what they consider to be age-appropriate education in kindergarten through 12th grades. It's been a back-and-forth battle in the courts in the two years since. The provisions of the law that are being challenged were temporarily blocked by Locher in December 2023, just before they became enforceable. That decision was overturned in August by the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, meaning the law had been enforceable for most of the current school year. The appellate court told the lower court that it failed to apply the correct analysis in determining whether to temporarily block the law. An attorney for the LGBTQ students, teachers and advocacy organization told Locher in February that the law is overly broad because it prohibits “any program, curriculum, test, survey, questionnaire, promotion, or instruction relating to gender identity or sexual orientation” in kindergarten through sixth grade. Opponents argued the law is vague enough to limit any information accessed or activity engaged in within the school. Locher agreed in his decision that any “program” or “promotion” is broad enough to violate students' First Amendment rights and those provisions are therefore on hold. But restrictions on curriculum, tests, surveys, questionnaires or instruction can be interpreted in the way the state argues, as applying only to the mandatory school functions. Locher laid out specifically what that means: “Students in grades six and below must be allowed to join Gender Sexuality Alliances ('GSAs') and other student groups relating to gender identity and/or sexual orientation.” And the district, teachers and students “must be permitted to advertise” those groups. On the other hand, teachers are not allowed to provide mandatory instruction that include “detailed explanations or normative views” on the issues, Locher said. "It does not matter whether the lessons or instruction revolve around cisgender or transgender identities or straight or gay sexual orientations. All are forbidden." The state education agency's rules on the law say they will not take a neutral statement on gender identity and sexual orientation to be a violation of the law. During a February hearing, Locher posed questions to the state’s attorney asking, for example, how a teacher should decide whether a book featuring a same-sex couple is a neutral portrayal allowed under the law, or whether it is a positive or affirming portrayal. The state often said the answers depend on context. Opponents of the law said that means the measure is too vague. Locher's decision dictated that neutral references where sexual orientation or gender identity aren't the focus are allowed. That means books with characters of varying gender identities or sexual orientations are permitted, so long as those “are not the focus of the book or lesson.” Locher also said a teacher can refer to their partner, even if that partner is the same sex. Attorneys for Iowa Safe Schools, students and teachers that sued the state said Friday that the ruling is a win. “Under this order, Iowa teachers no longer can be disciplined simply because their classroom contains a Pride flag or their library contains books with LGBTQ+ characters,” said Thomas Story, staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa. “This law, with certain narrow exceptions, should no longer stand in the way of school districts supporting efforts to include and support their LGBTQ+ students.”
