Deadly U.S. Strikes in Caribbean Continue

The U.S. military says it has carried out another strike in the Caribbean, targeting a suspected drug-trafficking boat. Officials say two people were killed in Monday’s operation as part of an ongoing campaign launched in September. The broader operation has now reportedly killed at least 188 people, with activity intensifying in recent weeks. The military has not released evidence confirming the vessels were carrying drugs.

Tennessee Redistricting Plan Targets Memphis Seat

Tennessee Republicans are considering a major redraw of congressional districts that could target the state’s only Democratic-held U.S. House seat in Memphis. Governor Bill Lee has called a special legislative session to consider the proposal. The plan could split a majority-Black district, potentially shifting political balance ahead of the midterm elections. Lawmakers cite a recent Supreme Court ruling that limited how race can be considered in redistricting. Critics argue the move could weaken Black voting power in West Tennessee.

Pentagon: “Project Freedom” Targets Iran Shipping Threats

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine say the U.S. has launched “Project Freedom” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz amid rising tensions with Iran. Officials say Iran has repeatedly attacked commercial shipping, leaving thousands of mariners and more than 1,000 vessels stranded. The Pentagon says U.S. warships, aircraft, and troops have been deployed to secure the waterway, with American vessels already transiting safely. Officials describe the mission as temporary but warn forces are “locked and loaded” if Iran escalates, with the goal of restoring global trade flow and securing the route with allied support.

Judge Questions Jail Treatment of Trump Attack Suspect

A federal judge is raising concerns about how a high-profile suspect is being held in a Washington, D.C. jail. The man—accused of attempting to storm the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and kill President Trump—was placed on strict suicide watch after his arrest. His attorneys say he was confined to a padded cell under 24-hour lockdown, with constant lighting and repeated searches. Jail officials have since eased those restrictions, but the judge says questions remain about whether the treatment may have been punitive.

US, Iran clash as Hormuz tensions spike

U.S. forces are firing on Iranian boats as they work to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route. The military says six Iranian vessels were sunk during the operation. The United Arab Emirates, a key U.S. ally, says it was also targeted in a separate attack Monday—the first since a fragile ceasefire took hold in early April. Officials say two American-flagged ships have now safely transited the strait. Iran’s foreign minister is warning both the U.S. and the UAE not to be dragged back into a wider conflict.

Trump touts increase in Venezuela oil exports

President Donald Trump said on Monday (May 4) that “hundreds of millions" of barrels of oil are coming out of Venezuela as Washington seeks to deepen its involvement in the country’s energy sector. "We have a great relationship. We have hundreds of millions of barrels of oil coming out of Venezuela, going to Houston and different places to have it refined. And we're sort of, it's almost really a partnership," said Trump. "The big companies are coming in now and they're building these giant rigs because there's a lot of oil in Venezuela, there's a lot of other things too, and a lot of great people." Recent data shows Venezuela's exports are at roughly 1.2 million barrels per day, their highest level in years.

Secret Service: Suspect fired weapon on National Mall, bystander injured

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Secret Service says a suspect who opened fire Monday on the National Mall did so after being confronted by officers. Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn said officers returned fire, and a bystander was struck by the suspect. He said the motorcade of Vice President JD Vance transited through the area not long before the shooting, but there was no indication it was the target. The incident happened Monday afternoon around 15th Street and Independence Avenue near the Washington Monument. The Secret Service encouraged people to avoid the area as emergency crews responded to the shooting not far from the White House, where President Donald Trump was holding a small business event.
