One day after slashing hundreds of millions in federal grants that supported mental health and addiction care, the Trump administration is backtracking and plans to restore the funds, according to two officials with knowledge of the decision. The reversal came after intense backlash to the nearly $2 billion in cuts by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, or SAMHSA, which sent termination letters to hundreds of nonprofits on Tuesday night. The letters said their grants had been cut because their programs "no longer effectuate" the agency's priorities but did not explain how, according to recipients.

Boeing warned plane owners in 2011 about a broken part that contributed to a UPS plane crash that killed 15 last year but at that point the plane manufacturer didn't believe it threatened safety, the National Transportation Safety Board said Wednesday. The UPS plane crashed in November 2025 shortly after taking off in Louisville, Kentucky, when the left engine flew off the wing as the plane rolled down the runway. Three pilots on the plane that was headed for Hawaii were killed along with 12 more people on the ground near Louisville's Muhammad Ali International Airport.

The reason for putting sensitive decisions on hold is simple: the Commission does not want to be seen as interfering in the Hungarian election campaign and does not want to give ammunition to Orbán's anti-EU rhetoric during the hot phase of campaigning.

The Commission is waiting for April to happen and is watching opinion polls in Hungary very closely," an EU diplomat told Euronews, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Iran reopened its airspace after nearly five hours of closure, according to FlightRadar24, which reported the notice was lifted shortly before 10 p.m. ET Wednesday, or 6:30 a.m. local time Thursday. The airspace closure—prompted by concerns over possible military action between the United States and Iran—forced airlines cancel, reroute, or delay flights.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he had been told that killings in Iran's crackdown on protests were easing and that he believed there was no current plan for large-scale executions, adopting a wait‑and‑see posture after earlier threatening intervention. Iranian state media on Thursday reported that a 26-year-old man arrested during the protests in the city of Karaj would not be given the death sentence, after a rights group reported earlier this week that he was due to be executed on Wednesday

Donald Trump has said he has been told "the killing in Iran has stopped", but the US president has not ruled out military action against the country over its violent crackdown on anti-government protesters. According to human rights groups, more than 2,400 people have been killed in the recent crackdown by the Iranian authorities in response to nationwide protests.

The Donald Trump administration announced on January 14 that it would indefinitely freeze visa processing for people coming from seventy-five countries, the latest effort to advance Trump's immigration agenda. Countries on the list reportedly include Afghanistan, Brazil, Egypt, Iran, Russia, and Somalia, though the State Department has not yet confirmed which countries would be subject to the policy.

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog: We certainly have entered uncharted territory. When a vicious predator is backed into a corner, it will do whatever it can to survive. That makes Iran more dangerous than ever at this moment. The Iranians are making all sorts of crazy threats, and I am convinced that they […]
