Iran is expected to skip a retaliatory strike on Israel if a Gaza ceasefire deal is reached, US President Joe Biden told reporters in New Orleans on Tuesday, stressing “That’s my expectation.”

Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., faces fresh controversy after a resurfaced 2018 video showed him praising a Muslim cleric, who once shared a pro-Hitler propaganda film and celebrated Oct. 7, as a "master teacher."
In the last few years, Imam Asad Zaman has used his Facebook page to share official Hamas press releases, blog posts from antisemitic sites and a 2015 link to a pro-Hitler film, "The Greatest Story Never Told." Zaman also posted on Oct. 7 that he and his organization "stands in solidarity with Palestinians against Israeli attacks."
On Fox News’ "Outnumbered," Chicago-based correspondent Mike Tobin reported on The Washington Examiner unearthing a video of Walz speaking at an event hosted by Zaman's group, the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, on Feb. 16, 2018...
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, was able to avoid the recent fate of some of her other "Squad" members in Congress, coming away with the win in the Democrat primary for Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District on Tuesday.
The race featured another member of the so-called "Squad" facing off with a primary challenger, with Don Samuels, Abena McKenzie and Nate Schluter looking to make Omar the third member of the progressive group to lose a primary challenge in this cycle.
The race featured a rematch between Omar and Samuels, who the incumbent representative narrowly escaped losing to in a 2022 primary challenge, inching out a win over Samuels by just under two percentage points before easily coasting to re-election in November.

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency, part of the U.S. Department of Defense, notified Congress on Tuesday that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken had approved five potential sales to Israel—collectively worth up to $20.3 billion—of tactical vehicles, mortar and tank cartridges, missiles and F-15 fighter jets.
The sale of F-15IA and F-15I+ aircraft “and related equipment” costs up to $18.82 billion, according to the agency. Israel has requested to buy 50 new F-15IA jets, which are made by Boeing, the agency said.
“The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to U.S. national interests to assist Israel to develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability. This proposed sale is consistent with those object...
A new Inspector General report confirmed that the City of Baltimore returned more than $10 million to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The $10.8 million returned to HUD stemmed from a combination of underspending and a lack of timely drawdowns, the statement said.
A complaint was initially filed in July 2023 alleging the return in grant funding.
A response from the Mayor's office as well as a planned strategy to avoid a similar situation in the future is included with the attached report.
Renew Baltimore filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of Maryland to reverse a decision on whether a property tax rate cut can be on the November ballot.
Renew Baltimore has proposed a gradual cut of Baltimore City’s property tax rate over a seven-year period from 2.2% to 1.2%. The petition received enough signatures to appear on the ballot in November.
However, the Baltimore City Board of Elections rejected the proposal citing that according to Maryland law, only elected leaders can change property tax rates.
A complaint was filed with the Baltimore City Circuit in July.The Circuit Court judge sided with the City on Friday.
