Key GOP Senator Says He Has No Objection to Releasing Video of Strike That Killed Two Survivors
The Republican who leads the Senate Intelligence Committee says a video of a U.S. military strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean that killed two survivors of the initial attack shows “nothing remarkable.” Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton says he would not oppose its public release if the Pentagon were to declassify it. Cotton is partially aligning himself with President Donald Trump and top Democrats in favor of releasing the video of the Sept. 2 attack. But he is splitting with Democrats over whether military personnel acted lawfully in carrying out a second strike to kill the two survivors. Cotton spoke Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Democratic Governors Say the Party’s Midterm Strategy Must Focus on Voters’ Pocketbook Concerns
PHOENIX (AP) — Democratic governors who met over the weekend in Arizona say the party must focus on affordability in next year’s midterm elections. They aim to build on wins last month in governor’s races in New Jersey and Virginia by addressing everyday concerns such as housing prices, rent and grocery costs. The strategy seeks to unite Democrats across the ideological spectrum while confronting President Donald Trump’s policies. Yet there are risks if economic conditions change for the better or if Democrats fail to deliver on their promises. Governor’s offices will be up for election in 36 states next year.

Trump Says Zelenskyy ‘Isn’t Ready’ Yet to Accept US-Authored Proposal to End Russia-Ukraine War
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — President Donald Trump is claiming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “isn’t ready” to sign off on a U.S-authored peace proposal aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Trump was critical of Zelenskyy after U.S. and Ukrainian negotiators completed three days of talks aimed at trying to narrow differences on the U.S. administration’s proposal. But in an exchange with reporters on Sunday, Trump suggested the Ukrainian leader is holding up the talks from moving forward. The president told reporters: “Russia is, I believe, fine with it, but I’m not sure that Zelenskyy’s fine with it. His people love it it. But he isn’t ready.”

Judge Deals Setback to Justice Department Effort to Seek New Indictment Against Comey
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge has dealt a setback to Justice Department efforts to seek a new indictment against former FBI Director James Comey. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has temporarily barred prosecutors from using evidence they’d relied on when they initially secured criminal charges. The ruling doesn’t preclude the government from trying again soon to indict Comey. But it does suggest prosecutors may have to do that without citing communications between Comey and a close friend and associate, Columbia University law professor Daniel Richman. A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment Sunday.

Netanyahu Says Israel and Hamas Will Enter Ceasefire’s Second Phase Soon
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel and Hamas are expected to move into the second phase of their ceasefire soon. It will begin after Hamas returns the remains of the last hostage held in Gaza. Netanyahu spoke during a news conference with visiting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Sunday. The ceasefire’s second phase involves disarming Hamas militants and demilitarizing Gaza. It also includes deploying an international force to secure Gaza and forming a temporary Palestinian government. Merz said Germany is assisting with the second phase’s implementation by sending officers and diplomats to a U.S.-led civilian and military coordination center in Israel.

Government Waives Part of a Biden-Era Fine Against Southwest Airlines
The U.S. Department of Transportation is waiving part of a fine assessed against Southwest Airlines after the company canceled thousands of flights during a winter storm in 2022. Under a 2023 settlement reached by the Biden administration, Southwest agreed to a $140 million civil penalty for violating consumer protection laws. Most of that money went toward compensation for travelers, but the airline agreed to pay $35 million to the U.S. Treasury in three installments. On Friday, the Transportation Department issued an order waiving the final $11 million installment. The department said Southwest should get credit for significantly improving its on-time performance and investing in network operations.

The Supreme Court Will Decide Whether Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order Violates the Constitution
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has agreed to take up the constitutionality of President Donald Trump’s order on birthright citizenship. The Republican president’s order says children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily aren’t American citizens. The justices said Friday they’ll hear Trump’s appeal of a lower-court ruling that struck down the citizenship restrictions. Those restrictions haven’t taken effect anywhere in the country. Birthright citizenship is the first Trump immigration-related policy to reach the court for a final ruling. The order is part of Trump’s immigration crackdown. The American Civil Liberties Union says no president can change “the 14th Amendment’s fundamental promise of citizenship.” The case under review comes from New Hampshire.
