Indiana Teacher Arrested for Allegedly Drugging and Assaulting Male Students

A US F-18 Super Hornet fighter jet was lost in the Red Sea on May 6, marking the second such incident involving the Harry S Truman aircraft carrier within a week. According to unnamed US officials cited by Reuters, the jet failed to stop properly after landing on the carrier, resulting in it tipping off the flight deck. Both crew members successfully ejected before the jet plunged into the sea and were later rescued by a helicopter. CNN reported that the jet has not been recovered and that last week's incident also involved a fighter jet falling overboard during evasive maneuvers against Houthi fire. On the day of this most recent crash, the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group reportedly fired at the Truman, hours after former President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire. This escalation comes as the Truman continues to support US strikes against Houthi forces in Yemen.

A study published in the journal Nature Climate Change reveals that the richest 10% of the global population is responsible for two-thirds of climate warming since 1990. According to the research, which analyzed economic data alongside climate models, this elite group emits nearly seven times the emissions of the lower 90%. The top 1% alone contributes 20 times as much as the other 99% combined. Lead researcher Carl-Friedrich Schleussner emphasized that addressing the imbalance in emissions is crucial for effective climate action. The study found that since 2019, the wealthiest 10% accounted for nearly half of global emissions from private consumption and investments, while the poorest half contributed only 10%. This research highlights the profound connection between wealth accumulation and environmental degradation, suggesting that if emissions mirrored those of the bottom 50%, substantial progress on climate change would have been made. The findings underline the necessity for systemic change targeting the wealthy to tackle the climate crisis effectively, rather than solely relying on individual consumer behaviors.

In a controversial statement, Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff for policy in the Trump administration, revealed that the White House is "actively looking at" the possibility of suspending habeas corpus. This right allows individuals to challenge the legality of their detention. Miller's remarks follow President Donald Trump's consideration of extreme measures to tackle illegal immigration in the United States. Miller indicated that the Constitution permits suspension of this privilege during times of invasion, suggesting that the administration's response would depend on how federal courts rule on immigration-related issues. "If judges fail to make Team Trump happy," he stated, alternative measures might be explored. Legal experts, including MSNBC correspondent Lisa Rubin and Georgetown University law professor Steve Vladeck, criticized Miller's approach as unconstitutional. They emphasized that the Suspension Clause applies only in cases of rebellion or invasion and cannot be unilaterally imposed by the President, especially while Congress is in session. The conversation has ignited concerns about the direction of U.S. immigration policy and the implications for civil liberties.
