SCHUMER vs TRUMP: Senator Chuck Schumer is under fire after suggesting that a Trump-era hiring freeze may have contributed to a tragic Mexican Navy ship crash at the Brooklyn Bridge that killed two cadets. Schumer pointed to weakened Coast Guard staffing as a potential cause, linking it to national security concerns. However, the Department of Homeland Security dismissed his claims, saying the Coast Guard was exempt and fully operational. Conservatives and media figures blasted Schumer’s remarks as baseless and political, with Fox News’ Mark Levin calling him “stupid and evil.”

A firestorm erupts after former FBI Director James Comey's beach photo featuring “8647” seashells goes viral. Trump allies claim the numbers are a coded call to assassinate Donald Trump — with “86” meaning “to kill” and “47” referencing Trump as the 47th president. Conservative activist Laura Loomer slams Amazon and Jeff Bezos for selling “8647”-branded caps, calling them “assassination gear.” Comey denies the allegations, but MAGA influencers aren’t buying it.

European Union officials fear US President Donald Trump may abandon efforts to broker peace in Ukraine. Despite campaign promises to end the war quickly, Trump has seen no major breakthroughs in his second term’s first 100 days. EU insiders suggest Trump may be crafting an exit narrative, frustrated by slow talks and Russia’s unwillingness to meet demands. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned the US may withdraw from the peace process. Meanwhile, Russia claims it’s ready for talks without preconditions but criticizes Ukraine’s lack of initiative.

The Kremlin has confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not extended the Easter ceasefire with Ukraine, which was set to end at midnight on April 21. Despite Putin's initial announcement for a 30-hour truce, both Russia and Ukraine accused each other of multiple violations during the pause.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff expressed optimism ahead of the former president’s phone call with Vladimir Putin, calling it a potential “success” that could help end the Ukraine conflict. This follows the first direct Russia-Ukraine talks in three years, which saw a prisoner exchange and renewed ceasefire discussions. Witkoff said Trump aims for a stable truce and final peace deal, warning that if diplomacy stalls, “crushing sanctions” await Moscow. Putin, however, insists talks must address NATO concerns and that Ukraine must halt mobilization and weapons inflow to ensure a lasting ceasefire.

In a major overnight assault on May 15–16, Russia launched 112 drones—including Shahed models—at Ukraine, striking multiple regions. Ukraine’s air defense systems shot down 73 UAVs, but the attack still caused damage across Odesa, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, and Chernihiv. The drones were launched from Bryansk, Kursk, and Millerovo. Ukrainian aircraft, missile units, and electronic warfare systems responded to the coordinated drone swarm. While 36 decoy drones vanished from radar, the repeated strikes continue to threaten both civilian infrastructure and military targets across Ukraine.

Russia has slammed French President Emmanuel Macron, accusing him of leading a “party of war” in NATO and the EU after he backed tougher sanctions on Moscow over the Ukraine conflict. The Kremlin says France is escalating hybrid warfare and blocking diplomacy by sending Mirage 2000 jets to Kyiv. Kremlin spokesperson Zakharova condemned the sanctions as an illegitimate trade war. Putin demands Ukraine halt mobilization and withdraw from Russian-claimed territories before any meaningful ceasefire talks can begin.
