President Trump signals an intensified next phase of Operation Epic Fury against Iran over the next "two to three weeks" as polling shows most Americans oppose the war and economic concerns mount. A federal judge orders the Trump administration to reinstate legal status for thousands of migrants admitted through the Biden-era CBP One app, ruling the termination process unlawful. NASA’s Artemis II mission launches successfully, sending astronauts on a historic 10-day journey that could take them farther from Earth than any humans before.
