The first criminal trial of any U.S. president is set to begin Monday, when former President Trump stands trial for his role in a hush money deal with a porn actress ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Trump for months has sought to push back the start of his first criminal trial, launching a series of last-ditch efforts to delay the case indefinitely with little success. |

President Biden and former President Trump are both fighting for the suburban woman voter, but she's no longer the "soccer mom" caricature that gained traction in the '90s. The label connotes a stereotypical picture of a white, college-educated woman, married with a couple of kids. She's a type of suburban woman voter, but far from the only one. |

President Biden's supporters and former U.S. officials are expressing frustration and confusion over the White House's Ukraine strategies, and see growing divisions within the administration over how to balance politics with long-term backing of Kyiv.
The White House recently pushed back against proposals that give NATO and Western allies a greater leadership role moving forward, even as U.S. aid to fight against Russian troops has been stalled for months in Congress. |

Iran has launched a significant attack of drone and missile strikes on Israel, the White House and Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said Saturday, widening fears of a regional war in the Middle East. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a statement that it launched dozens of missiles and drones toward Israel, according to a statement shared by state-run Iranian media outlet Press TV. |

American forces have intercepted Iranian drones targeting Israel, according to a U.S. defense official. The official said the U.S. continues to "shoot down Iranian-launched drones targeting Israel." |

President Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke following "Iran's brazen attack" that targeted Israel on Saturday. "Earlier today, Iran—and its proxies operating out of Yemen, Syria and Iraq—launched an unprecedented air attack against military facilities in Israel," Biden said in a Saturday night statement. "I condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms." |

Former President Trump officially announced his endorsement of Pennsylvania Republican Dave McCormick, throwing his support behind the Senate candidate who did not get the former president's blessings last time he ran for a seat in the upper chamber. Trump unveiled the endorsement during his rally in Schnecksville, Pa., on Saturday. |

Multiple tribal nations in South Dakota have banned Gov. Kristi Noem (R) from their reservation land, citing her immigration, crime and race-related remarks. Relations between the governor and the tribes have been strained since she took office in 2019. But her recent comments have created even more tension, and she is now unable to step foot on more than 10 percent of the land in the state she governs. |

Former President Trump's ex-personal attorney, Michael Cohen, said that the former commander-in-chief will not testify in the hush money case, arguing it is "not going to happen." Cohen, a former ally of Trump who turned into a vocal critic of the former president, shut down the idea that he would testify in the New York case, the trial for which is set to begin on Monday. |

| OPINION | "Red lines" are circling the globe right now, and major alarms have just been sounded. Iran has launched dozens of drones at Israel. Iran may have just crossed a "red line" by launching drones toward Israel, which will scramble to shoot down any incoming fire to stop the drones through sensors and the "Iron Dome" and electronic warfare platforms. A "red line" in foreign policy means an uncrossable boundary — something leaders often use to make clear that, as with a physical boundary, crossing that policy line means serious business. |
OPINION | President Biden once again seeks to forgive billions in student loan debt by leveraging ambiguous federal statutes before the election. But the Supreme Court's previous ruling against him and Congress's failure to enact debt forgiveness legislation makes such subterfuge difficult. |

The former president will spend weeks in a New York court fighting felony charges—and trying to limit the political damage as he runs for a second term. |
Iran launched the attack in response to a strike widely blamed on Israel on an Iranian consular building in Syria earlier this month which killed two Iranian generals. |
The justices on Tuesday will hear arguments on whether prosecutors improperly stretched the law by charging hundreds with obstruction of an official proceeding. |
