NBC reports that Murthy warned that the
mental health crisis among young Americans
has become an urgent problem, citing social
media as "an important contributor.".
According to Murthy, the warning would include
language that alerts users to potential mental health
harms associated with using social media.
A surgeon generalâs
warning label, which requires
congressional action, would
regularly remind parents and
adolescents that social media
has not been proved safe, Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, via NBC.
Evidence from tobacco labels
shows that surgeon generalâs
warnings can increase
awareness and change behavior, Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, via NBC.
Murthy reportedly went on to
acknowledge that a warning alone has
limitations and fails to make social media safe.
In an op-ed published in 'The New York Times,'
Murthy linked the amount of time spent using
social media with an increased risk for children
to develop anxiety and depression.

According to the American Psychological Association,
teens spend around five hours a day on popular
platforms like Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

In his 'NYT' op-ed, Murthy called on all social media
platforms to "proactively enhance and contribute to
the mental health and well-being of our children.".
One 2019 study found that the number of teens with suicidal thoughts increased 47% between 2008 and
2017, a period which also saw social media use soar.

During an Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Donald Trump lashed out at NBCâs Peter Alexander over a question about a $400 million private jet gifted by Qatar. Instead, Trump redirected the conversation to what he claimed was the âgenocideâ of white South African farmers, presenting a controversial video and accusing Alexander of ignoring white suffering. The tense moment highlighted Trumpâs continued push on racially charged narratives, refugee decisions, and diplomatic theatrics involving U.S. allies and global perception.

The US is reportedly considering relocating up to one million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya, NBC reported, citing sources. In return, Washington may unfreeze $30 billion in Libyan funds. The plan has sparked outrage, with critics calling it a violation of international law and Palestinian rights. Libya remains unstable with rival governments vying for power. The Trump administration has denied the claim, calling it âuntrue.â Discussions allegedly included Israeli and Libyan leadership, but no final deal has been reached. Human rights groups have condemned the potential displacement.

During a press conference in the Oval Office, President Trump was interrupted twice by phone calls from Congress members, which he promptly sent to voicemail. Trump announced plans to impose 50% tariffs on European Union products, citing stalled trade talks. He hinted the tariffs could target major tech companies like Apple and Samsung, potentially starting in late June. While Trump expressed hope for a fair deal, his aggressive rhetoric signals mounting U.S.-EU trade tensions, drawing close attention from markets and global tech firms.

Gaza, already devastated by the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, now faces nuclear threats after Florida Congressman Randy Fine shockingly called for a Hiroshima-style strike during a Fox News appearance. Comparing Israel's war on Gaza to WWII, Fine declared, âWe nuked the Japanese twice... that needs to be the same here.â Civil rights group CAIR condemned the statement as genocidal and demanded his removal from Congress, warning his rhetoric endangers Muslims and Palestinians globally and undermines U.S. diplomatic efforts for peace.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has unveiled the much-anticipated details of âThe One Big, Beautiful Bill,â a sweeping legislative proposal championed by the administration. Leavitt outlined key prioritiesâmassive spending reforms, tax realignments, and a renewed push for American energy independence. The bill, a centerpiece of the administrationâs economic vision, is expected to ignite sharp debate in Congress. With bold language and uncompromising tone, the press briefing marked a new phase in Washingtonâs fiscal battle. Critics, however, warn of mounting debt and unrealistic expectations.

In a stark address to Congress, Rep. Thomas Massie sounded the alarm over Americaâs growing national debt, calling a proposed spending measure the âBig Beautiful Billâ â a ticking time bomb. Rejecting the usual promises of tax cuts and increased spending, Massie delivered what he called a âdose of realityâ about the nationâs fiscal future. As lawmakers push forward with ambitious budget plans, Massieâs warning highlights growing concerns among fiscal conservatives about Americaâs long-term economic stability and the burden of unsustainable government spending.

Survivors of Hamas captivity are calling on Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump, and envoy Steve Witkoff to act urgently following Edan Alexander's release. In a passionate letter signed by 65 former hostages, they urged leaders not to waste the moment and to halt military action if it means saving the remaining captives. While Trump negotiates new Middle East deals, pressure mounts to prioritize the hostages. With several Americans still held or declared dead, the plea emphasizes cross-border urgency. Netanyahuâs office has not responded to the emotional appeal for a comprehensive deal.

President Donald Trump has signed a series of executive orders repealing key Biden-era energy regulations. These include controversial standards imposed on gas water heaters, household appliances, commercial refrigerators, and walk-in freezers. Backed by Republican lawmakers, the move is framed as a victory for American households and small businesses. Trump stated the repeals will reduce unnecessary burdens, lower energy costs, and return decision-making power to consumers. The orders aim to undo what Trump called last-minute regulations under Biden that hurt everyday Americans and stifled economic freedom in the name of overregulation.
