SUMMARY: Reps. Gregory Steube and Marjorie Taylor Greene have introduced bills to immediately cease all federal funding for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), transferring its duties to the Department of State. This action follows USAID’s operational pause under Trump, who appointed Secretary of State Marco Rubio as Acting Administrator. Greene criticized USAID as a “slush fund,” alleging it promotes a radical agenda and wastes taxpayer money. While some Republicans support the bills, others, like Rep. Don Bacon, argue for reform instead, highlighting USAID’s role in aiding the needy and advancing national security interests.

SUMMARY: Four men broke into an East Point lounge, causing significant damage and stealing over $1,100 in cash and bottles of tequila, as captured by surveillance video. The incident occurred overnight at Crew Camp Creek, where the owner reported that the thieves caused around $4,000 to $5,000 in damage by smashing the front door with a sledgehammer. Despite the break-in, the lounge reopened the same night, as the owner emphasized resilience in the wake of this robbery. East Point Police are actively reviewing the footage to identify the suspects, urging local businesses to remain vigilant amid similar incidents targeting the Atlanta area.

SUMMARY: In 2025, Brood XIV cicadas will emerge across parts of 13 U.S. states, including Southern Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, northeast Georgia, central Pennsylvania, Long Island, and Cape Cod. This brood is the second-largest periodical cicada group. Unlike 2024’s “cicada-geddon,” Brood XIV will have more scattered emergence areas. Cicadas typically appear in late spring when the ground reaches 64°F and remain for 4-6 weeks. Despite their loud mating calls and appearance, cicadas are harmless, causing no damage other than leaving water-like excretions on trees. A larger emergence is expected in 2076.
