Episode Details

A projectile struck Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid International airport on Sunday, killing one person and injuring eleven others. The attack, claimed by Houthi rebels, marks a significant escalation in the regional conflict and has prompted President Trump to consider direct U.S. military intervention. This development follows a devastating strike on Saturday that killed thirteen people and wounded hundreds. Beyond the Gulf, federal agents executed a search warrant at the Washington home of Representative Ilhan Omar as part of an investigation into alleged immigration fraud. Meanwhile, an NPR analysis reveals that the U.S. government has spent nearly twenty-two million dollars in taxpayer funds on advertisements promoting President Trump, even after he pledged to fund his campaign privately.
