A group of more than 1,500 landlords is seeking up to $1.5 billion from the federal government, arguing that the COVID-19 eviction moratorium caused significant financial losses. The lawsuit claims the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention policy violated the Fifth Amendment by taking private property without just compensation. The case stems from a pandemic-era order that temporarily halted evictions nationwide. Plaintiffs argue the industry suffered tens of billions of dollars in losses overall, while the government has defended the policy as a public health measure. The outcome could have major financial implications for federal liability tied to pandemic emergency actions.

Former FBI Director James Comey says he will fight a federal Justice Department indictment accusing him of making threats against President Donald Trump. The case centers on an Instagram post showing seashells arranged as “86 47,” which prosecutors say was interpreted as a threat against the president. Comey has denied any intent to threaten Trump and says the message was political in nature. He has not yet entered a plea in the case and is expected to challenge the charges in court. The Justice Department maintains the investigation includes evidence beyond the social media post. The indictment has intensified political debate, with Comey’s legal team arguing the case is a retaliatory prosecution.

President Donald Trump says a new batch of UFO-related files will be released “very soon,” calling them “very interesting.” The announcement comes as the Pentagon continues a years-long, congressionally mandated effort to declassify records involving unidentified aerial phenomena and reports of unusual aircraft near military installations. Some lawmakers have pushed for greater transparency, saying the public deserves more information about sightings reported near U.S. military bases.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is hospitalized in critical but stable condition, according to his spokesperson. The 81-year-old was admitted for an undisclosed medical issue. His spokesman is asking for prayers but has not provided additional details about his condition or how long he has been hospitalized. Giuliani rose to national prominence as “America’s Mayor” following the September 11 attacks. In later years, he became a polarizing political figure as an adviser and personal attorney to President Donald Trump.

Federal prosecutors say new evidence shows a Secret Service agent was struck by buckshot fired by the suspect accused of trying to storm the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Officials say the round hit the agent’s bullet-resistant vest during the April 25 incident at a Washington hotel. The suspect was injured during the confrontation but was not shot. The agent survived the attack. Investigators continue to review the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Two U.S. service members are missing in Morocco after going on a recreational hike following military exercises, according to U.S. Africa Command. Officials say the disappearance occurred near a training area in the country’s southwest. A large search and rescue operation is underway involving multiple countries, aircraft, and ground teams. The incident comes during African Lion, the U.S. military’s largest exercise in Africa, which involves more than 7,000 personnel from over 30 nations.

The United States has launched “Project Freedom” to guide stranded commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz, establishing a new security zone and warning of possible mines in the waterway. Iran has responded by saying any foreign military presence in the strait will be targeted. The narrow shipping route handles roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil, making it a critical global energy chokepoint. The move comes as ceasefire talks remain stalled and no peace agreement has been reached, with tensions continuing to disrupt maritime traffic and global energy markets.

Police in Oklahoma say a shooting at a party near Arcadia Lake has sent at least a dozen people to area hospitals. Authorities received reports of gunfire around 9 p.m. at a gathering of young people near the lake, according to Edmond police spokesperson Emily Ward. Victims were transported to hospitals in various conditions. Officials have not yet released details on the severity of injuries or any possible suspects. Arcadia Lake, located about 13 miles north of Oklahoma City in Edmond, is a popular recreational area known for picnicking, camping, fishing, and water sports. The investigation is ongoing.
