Hurricane Francine makes landfall in Louisiana's Terrebonne Parish as Cat 2 storm
SUMMARY: Hurricane Francine has made landfall near New Orleans as a category 2 storm, bringing sustained winds of 100 mph and significant storm surge. The storm’s current path poses a threat to downtown New Orleans, particularly its eastern eyewall, leading to concerns of long-lasting impacts. The hurricane intensified before landfall despite adverse conditions, with warm Gulf waters fueling it. As the storm progresses, it may prompt tornado threats in Florida’s Panhandle and rainfall in Mississippi overnight. Local weather reports indicate increased tropical air across Central Florida, with the expectation of storms continuing before drier weather returns next week.

Hurricane Francine made landfall in Louisiana’s Terrebonne Parish just after 6 p.m. as a dangerous Category 2 storm. Dangerous conditions worsened throughout the day as the storm brought life-threatening storm surges and destructive winds to the state’s coastline.

Man who had gun and knife will plead guilty to trying to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh
SUMMARY: Nicholas John Roske of California will plead guilty to attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in June 2022. Arrested near Kavanaugh’s Maryland home with weapons and zip ties, Roske was reportedly motivated by the leaked draft opinion to overturn *Roe v. Wade* and concerns about gun laws after the Uvalde shooting. He told police he planned to kill multiple justices. Roske contacted 911 before being apprehended by U.S. marshals. He will plead guilty without a deal with prosecutors and faces life in prison. A hearing is expected soon. A trial was scheduled for June 9, pending no plea.

Florida special election results: GOP keeps 2 U.S. House seats in Florida
SUMMARY: In Florida’s special election, Republicans retained two U.S. House seats. State Senator Randy Fine won District 6, securing 56% of the vote, defeating Josh Wheel, who received 42%. Fine will replace Mike Waltz. In District 1, Florida CFO Jimmy Petronis won with 57% of the vote, taking over Matt Gaetz’s vacated seat. Fine credited President Trump for his victory, despite Wheel raising significantly more funds. Republicans now hold 220 seats in the House, with Democrats at 213. Wheel conceded, highlighting his campaign’s success and urging focus on issues like education and veterans’ care.

Randy Fine won Tuesday’s special election for a vacant congressional seat that the president carried by 30 points less than five months ago. The seat opened up after Mike Waltz was tapped to be Trump’s national security adviser in what was widely seen then as a move without much political risk. Fine defeated Democrat challenger Josh Weil. Florida CFO Jimmy Patronis defeated his challenger, Gay Valimont, to fill former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s seat.

Counting the potential toll of Trump’s tariffs on major Asian economies
SUMMARY: U.S. President Donald Trump’s escalated trade war poses challenges for Asian economies reliant on exports. His tariffs, aimed at reshoring U.S. manufacturing, impact trade agreements and increase uncertainty. China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam, and India all face consequences. China’s EV exports and U.S. LNG imports are hit, Japan’s auto sector is threatened, and Taiwan, Korea, and Vietnam may invest more in U.S. factories. India, with strong pharmaceutical exports, is also vulnerable. Though some companies are shifting production out of China, the unpredictability of U.S. policy keeps many cautious. Tariff hikes continue reshaping global trade and economic strategies across Asia.
