President Trump is touting the creation of a new savings tool for America’s children. The Trump Accounts will be established for babies born during the years of the Trump administration, and money will be invested in the stock market. The child can’t access the money until they turn 18 and can only use it for specific purposes, such as paying tuition, starting a business or making a down payment on a home.
Google has agreed to pay $135 million to settle a class-action lawsuit accusing the company of collecting cellular data from Android users without their permission.
The preliminary settlement, filed in federal court, covers users of Android-powered devices dating back to November 2017. While Google denied any wrongdoing, it agreed to change its data practices and require user consent for future data collection.
As part of the settlement, eligible users could receive up to $100 each, pending court approval. The agreement also makes it easier for users to opt out of data transfers and updates the Google Play terms of service to disclose these practices more clearly.
Plaintiffs’ lawyers may seek up to $39.8 million in legal fees, which represents 29.5% of the settlement fund.
A trial had been scheduled for August 5, but the settlement avoids a lengthy courtroom battle.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio plans to tell Congress that the Trump administration is prepared to take new military action against Venezuela if the country’s interim leaders stray from U.S. expectations, according to prepared testimony released ahead of a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing.
Rubio emphasized that the United States is not at war with Venezuela and that the interim government is currently cooperating, but said the administration would not rule out using additional force if necessary.
His remarks come on the heels of a U.S. operation that resulted in the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro earlier this month.
In his prepared statement, Rubio said the United States is “prepared to use force to ensure maximum cooperation if other methods fail” but added it is his hope that such action will not be required.
The planned testimony is expected to highlight divisions in Congress over U.S. policy toward Venezuela, with some lawmakers questioning how far the administration should go in using military leverage to influence the country’s political direction.
Rubio’s warning underscores ongoing tensions over U.S. foreign policy in Latin America as the administration balances military deterrence with diplomatic efforts.

The Trump administration announced that 15 additional prescription drugs will now be subject to Medicare price negotiations, including treatments for type 2 diabetes, HIV, arthritis, and cancer.
Officials say the expansion targets some of the most expensive medications in the Medicare program and could save taxpayers billions of dollars when the lower prices take effect in 2028.
The White House emphasized that the move aims to reduce costs for seniors while maintaining fairness across the healthcare system. Administration officials note that this is part of a broader effort to increase affordability and transparency in drug pricing for Medicare beneficiaries.
Pressure is mounting on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following the fatal shootings of two people during immigration-related protests in Minneapolis. Democrats, along with a handful of Republicans, are calling for Noem to resign or face impeachment, accusing her of mishandling the federal response to the incidents.
President Donald Trump, however, has publicly backed Noem, praising her role in border enforcement and saying he has full confidence in her leadership.
The growing political debate highlights deep divisions within Congress over immigration enforcement and accountability for federal officials overseeing high-profile operations. Lawmakers are debating whether Noem’s actions contributed to the escalation of violence and whether she should remain in her post amid ongoing investigations.
Officials from the Department of Homeland Security have defended Noem, noting that security measures and enforcement policies were implemented to maintain order during protests. The situation remains a flashpoint as both parties prepare for heightened scrutiny of immigration policy ahead of the midterm elections.
A man was arrested after spraying an unknown substance toward U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar during a town hall meeting, prompting a swift response from attendees and law enforcement.
Authorities say the suspect was quickly tackled by people in the audience and restrained until police took him into custody. Omar was not seriously injured and continued with the event after the man was removed from the venue.
Officials have not released details about the substance involved or potential charges, but said the incident is under investigation. The disruption comes amid heightened tensions in Minneapolis related to federal immigration enforcement actions and recent confrontations involving federal agents.
Law enforcement officials said additional security measures may be reviewed following the incident.
President Donald Trump addressed the controversial fatal shootings by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, saying the incidents were “very sad” but defending the broader enforcement operation and calling for a thorough investigation.
The comments come after two U.S. citizens were fatally shot during immigration enforcement operations in the city this month — most recently the killing of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse, which ignited national outrage and protests. Video evidence has raised questions about official accounts of the incident, and local officials have challenged the federal narrative.
Trump expressed sorrow over the deaths and said he would be “watching over” the investigation into Pretti’s killing, signaling increased scrutiny of how federal agents conduct operations in urban settings.
In remarks that have drawn criticism from both sides of the debate, Trump also focused on Pretti’s possession of a firearm during the confrontation — saying he believed Pretti should not have had a gun — a stance that has frustrated some gun rights advocates who noted the victim was a legally licensed holder.
The incidents have strained relations between federal and local officials. Minnesota’s leaders have called for de-escalation and independent investigations, while protests have continued in Minneapolis and solidarity demonstrations have spread nationwide.
Amid the backlash, the White House has indicated efforts to adjust its approach in the city, including deploying senior officials to coordinate with local leaders and review immigration enforcement strategies.
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he wants a “very honorable and honest investigation” into the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old Minneapolis man killed by federal immigration agents during an enforcement operation this month. Trump described the incident as “very sad” and said he will be “watching over” the review, signaling an unusually public focus on the inquiry amid rising controversy.
Pretti, an ICU nurse and U.S. citizen, was shot in Minneapolis during a federal immigration operation that has already drawn intense national scrutiny and protests. Video evidence released after the killing contradicted initial claims by some administration officials that Pretti posed an imminent threat to officers, prompting backlash from civil rights groups and lawmakers across the political spectrum.
In his remarks, Trump appeared to distance himself from earlier statements by senior aides — including White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, who referred to Pretti as an “assassin” — and rejected that characterization when asked directly. The president emphasized his desire for transparency and insisted the investigation should be thorough and credible.
The call for an “honorable” investigation comes as bipartisan criticism mounts over the aggressive use of federal agents in Minneapolis, where a second fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen occurred earlier this month.
Local officials and state leaders have demanded independent inquiries and greater accountability in the enforcement tactics.
Trump’s comments follow pressure from both Democrats and some Republicans for clearer answers about the operation and its oversight. As political tensions rise ahead of the midterm elections, the president’s response reflects an effort to quell public outcry while maintaining support for federal immigration enforcement efforts.
TikTok has agreed to settle in a landmark social media addiction lawsuit just before the trial kicked off, the plaintiff’s attorneys confirmed. The social video platform was one of three companies facing claims that their platforms deliberately addict and harm children, along with Meta’s Instagram and Google’s YouTube. Snapchat’s parent company Snap Inc., settled the case last week for an undisclosed sum. Additional details of the settlement with TikTok were not disclosed. A lawyer for the plaintiff said in a statement Tuesday that TikTok remains a defendant in the other personal injury cases, and that the trial will proceed as scheduled against Meta and YouTube.
