SUMMARY: President Donald Trump delivered his first joint address since returning to the White House, speaking for 1 hour and 40 minutes. He addressed key issues, including the war in Ukraine, tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, and defended his actions, despite warnings from economists about potential price increases. The speech became heated with Democratic interruptions, particularly from Congressman El Green, who was removed. Senator Alysa Slotkin criticized Trump’s economic plans, stating they could lead to a recession and endanger Social Security. Trump’s speech emphasized his swift actions and accomplishments, but also faced opposition from lawmakers.

SUMMARY: Residents are expressing frustration over the lack of communication regarding the Water Recovery Fund. One woman, who applied for assistance but has received no response from the city, feels abandoned amid the water crisis. Despite confirming her application, she remains uncertain about her status, especially as she struggles to pay rent due to increased water costs. With a looming court date for eviction, she has reached out to several city officials but received no clear answers. Although the city recently acknowledged her case, many others share similar concerns about the process’s organization and transparency.

A new wrinkle in the RVA water crisis fallout. One woman tells us she feels left in the dark because she applied to the water recovery fund, but still hasn’t heard back.

SUMMARY: Ten years after a law complicating the removal of Confederate statues in North Carolina, the debate continues in Edenton, a coastal town. Unlike Virginia, where statues were removed following the 2020 racial justice protests, North Carolina’s legal barriers remain. A statue dedicated to Confederate soldiers has sparked ongoing protests. Supporters, like Rod Phillips and Michael Dean, argue it’s a monument honoring veterans, while opponents contend it represents racism. Their weekly protests have highlighted the deep divide in community perspectives on this controversial symbol of history, embodying a struggle between remembrance and the legacy of racial injustice.

While confederate monuments have been largely removed in Virginia, their futures remain far more uncertain across state lines in the Tar Heel State. Alex Littlehales has the story.
