Jeanine Pirro is sworn in as the new interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia during a ceremony hosted by U.S. President Donald Trump, at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., May 28, 2025. Leah Millis | ReutersU.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro on Sunday appeared to abandon a plan to appeal an adverse ruling in her attempts to criminally investigate Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Pirro has long said she planned to ask a higher court to review recent rulings by Chief Judge James Boasberg of the District of Columbia quashing her subpoenas to the Fed. She has argued that the judge's decision makes it difficult for her to conduct grand jury investigations in general. Her appeal was due by Monday. Pirro appeared to change tack in an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union." "We're going to make a motion to vacate the order of Judge Boasberg, because we think it's extremely important for us as prosecutors, the precedent that it sets to prevent us from going into a grand jury," Pirro said.Read more CNBC politics coveragePirro reveals new Trump attack evidence; Cole Allen challenges 'suicide precautions'Bard President Botstein retiring after Jeffrey Epstein

Second Nature Brands has issued a recall of its Keto Crunch Smart Mix on Friday after discovering the product may contain undeclared cashews, pistachios and cherries, posing a potential risk to consumers with allergies.The recall was announced on Saturday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which warned people with allergies or severe sensitivities to these ingredients could face serious or life-threatening reactions if they consume the affected product.Newsweek contacted Second Nature Brands via email on Sunday for comment.Undeclared Allergens Prompt RecallAccording to the Michigan-based company, the issue involves its 10-ounce packages of Keto Crunch Smart Mix that were distributed with incorrect labeling, failing to list cashews, pistachios and cherries among the ingredients.The presence of undeclared allergens is a major food safety concern, as consumers rely on accurate labelling to avoid ingredients that could trigger allergic reactions. The FDA said the recall was initiated by the company after it was discovered the product contained ingredients not listed on the packaging.According to FARE (Food Allergy Research and Education), tree nut allergies are among the most common food allergies affecting children and adults. The most frequently reported include walnut, almond, hazelnut, pecan, cashew and pistachio. Around 50 percent of children allergic

Donald Trump Is Acting Within the Law Over Iran War, Todd Blanche Says

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has defended President Donald Trump’s handling of the conflict with Iran, insisting the administration is acting within the law, even as a key deadline passed without congressional approval to continue military operations.The Trump administration is facing growing legal and political scrutiny over its military involvement in Iran, with questions mounting over whether ongoing U.S. activity in the region exceeds the limits set by federal law.Speaking in an interview with NBC's Kristen Welker, Blanche rejected suggestions that the United States is currently at war with Iran, pointing instead to a ceasefire and the absence of recent hostilities.The comments come as the White House faces increased scrutiny over its compliance with the War Powers Act, which requires congressional authorization for military action lasting longer than 60 days—the U.S. and Israel began operations against Iran on February 28.War Powers Deadline Sparks Legal Debate...The 60-day deadline passed Friday without Congress approving continued military engagement. In a letter to lawmakers, Trump asserted that hostilities with Iran had “terminated,” despite the continued presence of U.S. armed forces in the region. The move effectively sidestepped the legal requirement for congressional approval, with Republican lawmakers largely declining to challenge the president’s position.The situation

U.S. troop levels across Europe—and especially among NATO members—are under renewed scrutiny after President Donald Trump confirmed a major drawdown in Germany, raising fresh questions over the future of America’s military footprint on the continent.Trump said late Friday that 5,000 U.S. troops would be withdrawn from Germany, following remarks by Chancellor Friedrich Merz criticizing Washington’s handling of the Iran conflict. The president also suggested on Saturday that the total number of troops in Germany could be reduced “a lot further,” despite warnings from Republicans that deep cuts could send the “wrong signal” to Russian President Vladimir Putin.The move would hit Germany hardest, which hosts the largest concentration of U.S. forces in Europe—about 36,400 personnel out of roughly 68,000 stationed across the continent as of late 2025, according to U.S. Defense Manpower Data Center figures.That presence has long been central to NATO’s deterrence strategy, particularly in countries bordering Russia, where the U.S. military footprint is seen as a key safeguard against potential aggression....Where US Troops Are Based in EuropeGermanyGermany hosts around 36,400 U.S. active-duty personnel, making it the largest U.S. military hub in Europe.

Trump viewed negatively on every issue measured in poll

President Donald Trump's approval rating has hit the lowest point of his second presidential term, a new poll by ABC News, The Washington Post, and Ipsos shows.The poll, released on April 30, showed Trump’s approval rating at 37 percent, with a disapproval rating of 62 percent, which is a record high across both of his presidential terms.Across every major policy area tested—including the economy, immigration, inflation, taxes and foreign policy—respondents were found to view Trump’s handling more negatively than positively.As the U.S. midterms approach, the findings suggest Trump’s governing position could be weakening, as well as his party’s hold of the House—the poll also found that voters would be more inclined to vote for a Democratic candidate if a U.S. House of Representatives election was held today.If a president's approval ratings drop, they can retain credibility on certain issues, although, as Trump's handling of eight key policy areas appear to be more widely viewed as negative, it suggests the road ahead could be even trickier for the president.Trump and his administration have pushed back on negative interpretations of his approval rating—he recently told NewsMax in a phone interview: "It is a problem I'm not on the ballot.

Chinese court rules firms can’t lay off workers on AI grounds | Fortune

A Chinese court ruled that companies cannot terminate employees just to replace them with artificial intelligence systems, as authorities juggle the need to stabilize the domestic labor market with a global race to develop AI technologies. The court decided that a tech firm in eastern China had illegally fired one of its workers after he refused to take a demotion when his job was automated by AI, according to a statement published by the Hangzhou Intermediate People’s Court. “The termination grounds cited by the company did not fall under negative circumstances such as business downsizing or operational difficulties, nor did they meet the legal condition that made it ‘impossible to continue the employment contract,’” the court said in the article dated April 28. Companies cannot unilaterally lay off employees or cut salaries due to technological progress, the court said in a separate statement, citing the same case. The ruling comes as Chinese companies race to implement AI systems as part of a state-directed push to dominate the new technology. At the same time, planners in the Chinese Communist Party have indicated a willingness to prioritize stability in the labor market as the country reckons with a slowing economy and elevated

Iran’s 14-point proposal, a rebuttal to a U.S. nine-point plan, also calls for the U.S. lifting sanctions on Iran, ending the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports, withdrawing forces from the region and ceasing all hostilities, including Israel’s operations in Lebanon, according to the semiofficial Nour News and Tasnim agencies, which have close ties to Iran’s security organizations.

Did the founders create a Christian nation? No, but religion did shape their thinking

When he talks about the role of religion in the founding of the United States, historian Gregg Frazer does not attract eager audiences. “Neither side really wants to hear what I say,” says Frazer, a professor of history and political studies at The Master’s University, a Christian school in Santa Clarita, California. The founders, Frazer says, did not create a Christian republic. Several key founders either rejected core Christian doctrines or were vague enough to keep historians debating. For Frazer, that often disappoints audiences of his fellow Christians. But, he says, nor were the founders a cluster of rationalist deists - believers in a God who set the universe in motion like a clockmaker and then left it alone - and anti-religious skeptics, as they are sometimes portrayed. That disappoints audiences who favor a high firewall between church and state. Most of the founders were religious in one form or another. The long-running debate over the founders’ intentions about religion has been turbocharged with the approaching 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4. Amid the America 250 celebrations, some Christian activists and authors are redoubling claims that the U.S. had a Christian founding. They have an ally

The dollar has fallen 10% under Trump. It helps big multinational companies, but is a 'hidden tax' raising costs from vacations to groceries | Fortune

A hidden force is quietly pushing up costs for everything from your summer vacation to your weekly grocery bills: a weaker U.S. dollar. The dollar has fallen about 10% against other major currencies since President Donald Trump returned to the White House, a pullback potentially playing a role in Americans’ concerns about affordability. “It’s kind of a hidden tax,” says economist Thomas Savidge of the conservative-leaning American Institute for Economic Research. “What your dollar is going to be able to buy is going to shrink.” A look at where the dollar stands and what it means for you: Historic dollar decline The U.S. Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against other major currencies, logged its steepest six-month drop in more than 50 years in the first half of 2025. Though the decline hasn’t deepened, the dollar index is still about 10% lower than the start of Trump’s term. A strong dollar makes imports cheaper and can help keep inflation in check. A weak one can increase prices on foreign goods but boost American exports.
