Summary

President Trump is holding a press conference today on the state of the Iran war. A Tuesday deadline looms: Trump has threatened to strike Iranian energy plants and bridges if a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is not reached. Iran has vowed to retaliate hard if the U.S. follows through on those strikes. SNL’s Weekend Update sparked major backlash after host Michael Che made a joke widely interpreted as a reference to the assassination of President Trump, drawing outrage from across the political spectrum. Mark takes your calls! Bruce Springsteen made headlines after delivering a sharply political speech at his Minneapolis concert, calling the Trump administration “corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless, and treasonous.” Trump fired back on Truth Social, calling Springsteen a “total loser” and urging MAGA supporters to boycott his concerts. Meanwhile, NASA’s Artemis II mission has been dealing with a recurring toilet malfunction aboard the Orion spacecraft, and a frozen vent line has prevented the crew from properly flushing urine overboard. However, the issue has been resolved.
