President Trump has set a firm 8PM deadline tonight for Iran to agree to a deal reopening the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping. He warns of immediate, overwhelming U.S. strikes on power plants, bridges, and other key infrastructure if unmet—potentially "taking out" the country in one night. Iran has rejected the terms and a related ceasefire proposal, vowing defiance while calling for volunteers to defend sites. Tensions are at a boiling point with no deal in sight.

A NC Supreme Court 4-3 ruling has ended the 32-year Leandro school funding case. The majority (led by Chief Justice Newby) vacated a 2023 lower court order for $677M+ in new spending (potentially billions more), dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, and ruled courts can't dictate education budgets to the legislature—calling it a separation of powers win amid major changes in NC schools since 1994. Dissenters argued it harms students' constitutional right to sound basic education.

In his primetime speech from the White House, Trump stated that U.S. "core strategic objectives" in Operation Epic Fury are "nearing completion" after 32 days. He described "overwhelming victories," saying Iran's military capabilities (navy, air force, missiles) have been crippled and it is "no longer a threat."
Trump warned the U.S. will "hit them extremely hard" over the next 2-3 weeks, potentially targeting electric grids to "bring them back to the Stone Ages" if no deal is reached. He framed the conflict as payback for decades of Iranian aggression, predicted it would end "shortly," and urged allies to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. No new announcements on ground troops or exact timeline.

On April 21, 2026, Virginians vote on a constitutional amendment letting the General Assembly temporarily redraw congressional districts "to restore fairness" before the 2026 elections — then revert to the independent commission after 2030. We unpack why critics say the wording is biased and misleading.

Two controversies are rocking the New Hanover County Democratic Party. First, school board candidate Rick Southerland withdrew after backlash over undisclosed ties to a registered sex offender, James Osborne—who lived with him, helped campaign, and is now facing charges for illegal voting.
Second, party leaders are dealing with allegations against David Andrews, the husband of a Wilmington city councilwoman and a Democratic precinct chair, accused of sexual harassment and aggressive behavior at party events. The county party has filed a formal grievance seeking his removal and a ban from future activities.
