Historic Prisoner Exchange: Gershkovich and Whelan Repatriated to U.S. After Russian Detention
U.S. journalist Evan Gershkovich and ex-U.S. Marine Paul Whelan returned to the United States on Thursday, hours after being freed from Russian detention in the biggest prisoner exchange between the two countries since the Cold War.,The White House said it negotiated the trade with Russia, Germany and three other countries.
The deal, worked on in secrecy for more than a year, involved 24 prisoners - 16 moving from Russia to the West and eight sent back to Russia from the West.
During a fiery White House press briefing, Fox News correspondent Alexandria Hoff pressed Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt with a provocative question: “Does the president see himself as a king?” Hoff was referencing the upcoming “No Kings Day” protest planned for Trump’s birthday military parade, aimed at criticizing ICE raids and authoritarian optics. Leavitt, unfazed, dismissed the premise as “absurd” and reaffirmed Trump’s respect for the Constitution. She also slammed Democrats for politicizing American symbols and defended the parade as a “celebration of freedom, not royalty.”

California labor leader David Huerta was arrested during an anti-ICE protest and charged with “conspiracy to impede an officer.” Released on a $50,000 bond, Huerta, who represents over 750,000 workers through SEIU, reaffirmed his call for nonviolent resistance. His arrest during a federal immigration raid has ignited outrage, with SEIU President April Verrett warning of broader threats to democracy. Local protests escalated into unrest as Trump’s immigration crackdown deepens tensions in Los Angeles. Governor Newsom now faces direct threats from the White House after challenging ICE publicly.

As Los Angeles erupts in chaos over Trump’s immigration enforcement crackdown, the White House has deployed 700 U.S. Marines and 2,000 additional National Guard troops to the city — all without California Governor Gavin Newsom’s consent. The dramatic military surge, aimed at quelling violent protests and protecting federal property, has ignited a fierce legal and political battle. Governor Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta have launched a lawsuit against what they call a “dictatorial overreach,” accusing Trump of violating state sovereignty.

The bromance is officially dead. U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly considering selling off his red Tesla—once a show of support for Elon Musk—following a bitter exchange of insults. Musk claimed credit for Trump’s political survival, while Trump threatened to slash Tesla and SpaceX’s federal contracts. From personal cars to national budgets, nothing seems off-limits in this feud. Sources say the Tesla may be given away or sold off. Is this a petty move or a political statement? Dive into the clash that’s redefining tech-power ties in D.C.

China has lashed out at U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth following his remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where he warned that China could imminently use military force against Taiwan. Beijing condemned the speech as provocative and divisive, accusing Hegseth of inciting bloc confrontation and pushing a Cold War mentality.

Iran has condemned a “provocative” IAEA resolution backed by the U.S., France, the UK, and Germany, escalating nuclear tensions. Tehran insists its uranium enrichment is for peaceful purposes, warning of a "firm response" if pressured further. Amid five rounds of indirect U.S.-Iran talks in Oman, Tehran is preparing a counterproposal, rejecting the current U.S. offer for lacking sanctions relief. As Western allies push for a halt, Iran stands firm, with Supreme Leader Khamenei calling enrichment rights “nonnegotiable.” The next round of talks is set for June 15 in Muscat.

Germany is ramping up civil defense efforts like never before, with officials warning the country must be "ready for war" by 2029. From underground garages and metro tunnels turning into bunkers to emergency siren upgrades and wartime hospital prep, Berlin is preparing for the unthinkable—a direct confrontation with Russia. Civil defense chief Ralph Tiesler has called for at least €10 billion by the end of the decade, as military spending soars and public fear rises. But is this genuine preparedness or fear-fueled militarization? And how is Moscow responding?
