The Trump administration is backing a proposal that could lead to New York City's Penn Station being renamed as part of a sweeping redevelopment project. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is urging Congress to approve billions of dollars for the station's long-planned overhaul. During discussions surrounding the project, some administration officials have suggested the possibility of renaming the transit hub "Trump Station." The proposal is tied to broader plans to modernize Penn Station, one of the nation's busiest transportation centers, with expanded passenger space, upgraded infrastructure and improved accessibility. The naming idea has sparked immediate criticism from New York Democrats and transit advocates, who argue the station's historic name should remain unchanged and say the focus should be on completing long-overdue improvements. No final decision has been made, and any name change would likely require additional approvals as redevelopment plans move forward.

The United States and Saudi Arabia have finalized a landmark civil nuclear cooperation agreement aimed at helping the kingdom develop its first commercial nuclear power program while expanding U.S. influence in the region. The deal is expected to open the door for American companies to build reactors and provide nuclear technology as Saudi Arabia works to diversify its energy sector beyond oil. The agreement, known as a "123 Agreement" under the U.S. Atomic Energy Act, would allow significant civilian nuclear cooperation between the two countries. Unlike previous U.S. nuclear agreements with some allies, however, the Saudi deal permits a pathway for uranium enrichment inside the kingdom and does not require the highest level of International Atomic Energy Agency inspection safeguards, raising concerns among nonproliferation experts and some lawmakers. Supporters argue the agreement keeps the United States—not rivals such as China or Russia—at the center of Saudi Arabia's nuclear development while giving Washington greater visibility into the kingdom's civilian nuclear program. Critics warn that allowing uranium enrichment could increase the risk of nuclear proliferation in the Middle East, particularly given long-standing Saudi statements that it would seek nuclear capabilities if Iran develops a nuclear weapon. The agreement still requires congressional review before taking effect. President Donald Trump has also said the deal is contingent on Saudi Arabia normalizing relations with Israel by joining the Abraham Accords, adding a significant diplomatic condition to its implementation.

President Donald Trump is unveiling a new initiative aimed at protecting Americans from rising electricity costs as artificial intelligence drives a surge in energy demand across the United States. The administration announced that governors from both parties, electric utilities and major technology companies are joining a voluntary pledge designed to ensure that the growing power needs of AI data centers do not result in higher utility bills for residential customers. The pledge encourages new AI facilities to pay the full cost of the infrastructure needed to serve them, rather than shifting those expenses onto households and small businesses. It also calls for greater investment in new power generation and grid upgrades to meet future demand. Electricity consumption has climbed sharply as technology companies race to build massive data centers to support artificial intelligence, prompting concerns that aging power grids could become strained and consumers could face higher rates. The White House says the initiative is intended to balance continued AI innovation with affordable and reliable energy, while avoiding additional financial burdens on American families. The effort comes as utilities and regulators across the country prepare for a significant increase in electricity demand over the next decade.

The teenager accused of carrying out the deadly 2024 shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia is scheduled to appear in court for a plea and sentencing hearing. Colt Gray, now 16, faces multiple charges, including murder, in connection with the September 2024 attack that killed four people and injured several others at the Barrow County high school. Court officials say there is no plea agreement between prosecutors and the defense. If Gray enters a guilty plea, the judge will hear evidence from both sides before deciding an appropriate sentence. The case drew national attention after investigators alleged Gray used an AR-style rifle in the attack. Prosecutors have also pursued charges against Gray's father, accusing him of allowing his son access to the firearm despite warning signs. The hearing marks a significant step in one of Georgia's deadliest school shooting cases as victims' families continue to seek accountability.

Madison police officers do not routinely wear body cameras, leaving investigators without official police video of this week’s fatal shooting of a homeless man during a confrontation with four officers. The man was identified as 38-year-old Corey Ruiz. Police said officers approached him after receiving reports of suspicious activity involving parked vehicles. Authorities said Ruiz attempted to flee on a bicycle before officers stopped him and a struggle followed. Police said Ruiz pulled a knife and injured one officer during the confrontation. Bystander video circulating online appears to show officers struggling with Ruiz, deploying a Taser and then firing multiple shots at close range. Ruiz was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Because the Madison Police Department does not require its nearly 500 officers to wear body cameras, investigators must rely heavily on cellphone recordings, witness statements and other available evidence to determine what happened. The city has debated adopting body cameras for years, including conducting a limited pilot program in 2024, but has not implemented a department-wide system. All four officers involved have been placed on administrative leave. The Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation is conducting an independent review of the shooting.

A man is in custody after police say he stabbed two men in separate attacks on Manhattan's Upper West Side in what investigators believe may have been hate crimes. According to the New York Police Department, the attacks occurred within minutes of each other. Police say the suspect first approached and stabbed an Asian man before later attacking a Jewish man several blocks away. Both victims suffered injuries but are expected to survive. Authorities quickly located and arrested the suspect following the attacks. Investigators are examining whether the victims were intentionally targeted because of their race or religion. The New York Police Department's Hate Crimes Task Force is assisting with the investigation. Officials have not released a possible motive, and charges against the suspect remain pending as detectives continue to gather evidence.

Explosions were reported near a military base hosting U.S. forces in northern Iraq overnight, adding to growing concerns that the conflict between the United States and Iran is spreading across the region. The blasts were heard near the base outside Irbil as warning sirens also sounded in Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet. The incidents came just hours after the U.S. military announced it had completed its 13th consecutive night of airstrikes targeting sites inside Iran. The renewed fighting has intensified over the past week, with Iran launching attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and targeting U.S. assets and regional allies. The strategically important waterway carries a significant share of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas exports, making it a critical chokepoint for global energy supplies. The conflict has already sent oil prices sharply higher and fueled concerns about broader economic impacts as shipping companies face increased security risks. This week, Iranian-backed Houthi rebels also targeted two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, further heightening fears of disruptions to global trade. It was not immediately clear whether the explosions near the U.S. base caused any casualties or damage. Officials have not publicly identified who was responsible, and the incidents remain under investigation as tensions across the Middle East continue to rise.

The Erin Molan Show | Episode 201 (Part 2) Political debates, Stephen Miller, left-wing violence, Greta Thunberg, Gaza, The View, Nikki Haley, Gwyneth Paltrow — and another reminder that the modern left keeps parodying itself better than anyone else ever could. In this episode, I look at one of the most unintentionally hilarious political debate moments in recent memory, why Stephen Miller’s comments about the left were brutal, funny, and impossible to argue with, and why his speech on leftist violence matters far beyond America. I also explain why Greta Thunberg’s latest stunt perfectly sums up the unseriousness of activist politics, why The View’s Sonny Hostin somehow managed to rewrite history on national television, and why Nikki Haley’s response was the kind of correction that needed no extra explanation. And finally, we check in once again on Gwyneth Paltrow after the attempted cancellation over her Israeli real estate ad — and, shockingly, she still does not appear to be devastated. Quite the opposite.

The Erin Molan Show, Episode 200 (Part 2): Megyn Kelly’s obsession with Israel has reached a point Erin believes is impossible to ignore. Megyn Kelly once again turns her attention to Israel, this time attacking Israeli efforts to counter the flood of anti-Israel misinformation and propaganda spreading across social media. Erin asks why Israel’s public-relations campaigns receive such extraordinary scrutiny while the billions spent by Qatar and other foreign powers to influence Western opinion are so often overlooked. And there is an important contradiction: Charlie Kirk himself reportedly urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take Israel’s communications and public-relations strategy more seriously. So when Israel finally attempts to fight back against the propaganda, why is that suddenly treated as something sinister? Erin also responds to Sunny Hostin’s spectacular “nobody is above the law” hypocrisy after her son’s encounter with police, Keir Starmer’s remarkable assessment of his own record as UK Prime Minister, and Candace Owens’ increasingly personal fixation on Erika Kirk.

EPISODE 200 (PART 1) — Richard Goldberg of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) joins The Erin Molan Show for an urgent, detailed briefing on Iran, Pickaxe Mountain, Israel and President Trump’s next move. What is really happening inside Iran right now? Why has Tehran avoided directly attacking Israel? How much of Iran’s nuclear program was actually destroyed—and what could still be buried beneath the ground? Richard Goldberg is a senior advisor at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and previously served on President Trump’s National Security Council as director for countering Iranian weapons of mass destruction. In this wide-ranging Iran war update, Goldberg explains why Iran’s economy may be entering a “death spiral,” the current pressure surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, the condition of Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs, and why the deeply fortified facility known as Pickaxe Mountain could become Trump’s next major target. Goldberg also reveals: • Whether Iran recovered during the ceasefire • What remains of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile • Why Pickaxe Mountain matters • How close Iran previously came to nuclear breakout • Why Iran appears reluctant to attack Israel • How Israel could respond to another Iranian strike • The military and economic options available to Trump • Why the Iranian people could ultimately become the decisive factor This is one of the most comprehensive assessments of Iran’s current military, nuclear and economic position—and what may happen next.

In a world where chaos and disorder seem to be on the rise, one thing is clear: the status quo is no longer working. This episode of the Carl Jackson Show delves into the disturbing trend of teen takeovers, where groups of young people, often with a sense of impunity, take over public spaces, causing destruction and violence. Joining Carl Jackson to discuss this issue is Heather McDonald, a renowned expert on politics and culture, and a contributing editor at City Journal. Heather's recent essay, "The Scourge of Teen Takeovers," sheds light on the alarming rise of this phenomenon, which is not only affecting major cities like Chicago and New York, but also has its roots in California. The conversation touches on the performative aspect of these takeovers, where participants seek to go viral on social media, and the excuses made by some to justify this behavior. Heather argues that the mainstream media's explanations for this trend, such as post-COVID loneliness, are not only unfounded but also misleading. As the discussion unfolds, Carl and Heather explore the deeper issues at play, including the breakdown of family structures, the lack of accountability, and the perverse incentives created by some politicians. They also touch on the importance of enforcing the law, holding individuals responsible for their actions, and the need to stop making excuses for bad behavior. The conversation is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of this issue and the need for a more nuanced approach. If you're concerned about the state of our society and the future of our children, this episode is a must-listen. Join Carl and Heather as they tackle the tough questions and offer insights into the solutions that can help us get past these teen takeovers and build a safer, more responsible community.
