5/11 - Let’s unwrap this past week’s news. A new pope was chosen, to many’s surpise he was born in Chicago, Illinois. Pope Leo XIV being chosen was a relief to many as he is just as inclusive if not more than Pope Francis. President Trump proposed to rename Veterans Day to Victory Day in honor of the day America and it's allies won World War I, which has recieved mixed responses from the public however many veterans feel as though it is disrespect and do not support this change. In terms of education the Trump Adminstration has cut funding for Sesemae street a show previously known for its entertainment and helping young children develop a basic education, many are heartbroken by this news. In global news the India-Pakistan war is escalating, India launched an attack on Pakistan after Kashmir massacre and Pakistan is now openly saying they will respond to these attacks. See you next week for more updates!

5/4 - The world never sleeps so let’s dive into this week’s latest news. In the United States the Trump Administration has registered that any immigrant who self deports themselves will recieve a check of $1000. Iseali government has apporved to increase military forces and plan to capture and occupy the entire Gaza strip, they are currently working on esclating the war and expanding military reinforcements. The College of Cardinals are working on electing the new pope which seems to be a long and anxious process. In terms of the Russia and Ukriane war Putin was spotted visiting North Korea and increased military efforts in the Baltic Sea reigon. These new war efforts have everyone on edge.

4/27 - This week was a whirlwind of news, so let’s break it down. A major power outage hit the Iberian Peninsula on April 28, leaving Spain and Portugal in the dark for about ten hours. The blackout disrupted transportation, telecommunications, and emergency services, with at least seven deaths in Spain and one in Portugal linked to the outage. In the U.S., President Trump marked 100 days into his second term by rolling back over 140 environmental protections, pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement again, and cutting climate funding across the board . On the international stage, tensions escalated between India and Pakistan after a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22 killed at least 26 tourists.

4/20 - Here’s your quick catch-up on what’s been happening this week. The world just said goodbye to Pope Francis, who passed away at 88 after battling pneumonia. He was known for trying to modernize the Catholic Church and connect more with young people, so his loss is a big deal. In the U.S., things got spicy in Texas where a Libertarian group filed a resolution calling for Trump’s impeachment again, this time over immigration and breaking rules in office. Meanwhile, a new global study says the Earth’s population might actually be way higher than we thought… like, possibly 12 billion people instead of the usual 8 billion estimate, because so many people in remote areas aren’t counted properly. And in the coolest science news, researchers in China found a perfectly preserved dinosaur embryo inside a fossilized egg. Yes, an actual baby dino. It’s giving Jurassic Park but real!

4/13 - This week’s news has been wild, so here’s everything you need to know. Trump’s new tariffs are shaking up the economy, with the stock market taking a hit and countries like the UK and Australia getting hit with surprise taxes on things like medicine and tech. Over 300 international students had their visas revoked in the U.S., mostly for joining pro-Palestinian protests on campus, which sparked major debates about free speech. The GOP also pushed through a bill that would require voters to show proof of citizenship in federal elections—supporters say it’s about security, but critics think it could make voting harder for some people. In science news, researchers just brought back dire wolves (yes, the extinct kind) by cloning ancient DNA, and now three pups named Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi exist in real life. And after all that, Trump’s stock and the market overall dropped even more, which has a lot of people watching their wallets.

4/6 - Trump is all over the news again. He just dropped a new trade plan with a 10% tariff on pretty much everything the U.S. imports, and countries like China are not happy—they’re already planning to fight back. He also signed orders to bring back coal power (yes, like the old-school kind), which has climate people freaking out. On top of that, Trump told Israel he thinks the U.S. should take over Gaza, which sparked some major backlash. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court backed his policy to keep deporting certain migrants, and even though he promised to end New York’s traffic tolls, that plan is kinda stuck. The new gold visa cards have taken immigration by storm as 1000 have already been sold. For those of you who don’t know gold visa cards are cards selling at $5,000,000 each granting permanent American citizenship to any who buy it. Basically, it’s been a wild week in politics.
