During a heated House hearing, Rep. Madeleine Dean confronted Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over the ripple effects of President Trump’s tariff plan. Dean spotlighted rising banana prices at Walmart as an example of how American consumers are already feeling the squeeze. Lutnick defended the trade strategy, but the clash underscores growing concerns over inflation and trade uncertainty. With tariffs announced in April and ongoing pushback in Congress, pressure is mounting over the economic toll of the escalating U.S. trade policies.

Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin has reignited the national debate on technology in education by calling for a nationwide ban on cellphones in every K-12 classroom. In a powerful speech, she warned that social media algorithms are hooking kids to extreme content, harming their focus, and destroying real-world problem-solving skills.
Backed by bipartisan legislation targeting phones in military children's schools, Slotkin is demanding urgent action — not just on phones, but also on regulating AI in schools before it’s too late.
Is she right to sound the alarm? Or would a full cellphone ban go too far?
This video dives into the facts, expert opinions, and what’s at stake for students across the U.S.

Forecasts warn that smoke will spread into the Ohio Valley and Carolinas, bringing health risks from fine particles.
