DOJ opens probe into Andrew Cuomo over nursing homes testimony: Reports
** The Department of Justice is reportedly investigating former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo over his testimony to Congress about nursing home deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic. The probe, led by the U.S. attorney’s office in D.C., began about a month ago and focuses on whether Cuomo misled lawmakers about the state’s handling of nursing home outbreaks—a controversy that has dogged him since 2020.
Editor’s Note: ** This isn’t just about reopening old wounds—it’s a serious legal escalation for Cuomo, who resigned in 2021 amid sexual harassment allegations but has long denied wrongdoing in the nursing home debacle. If the DOJ finds evidence of intentional deception, it could mean legal consequences and further tarnish his political legacy. For families who lost loved ones in nursing homes, it’s another painful reminder of unanswered questions about accountability during the pandemic’s darkest days.

Latest from U.S News
China, U.S. agree on implementing Geneva consensus, building on London framework, Beijing says
neutralU.S News
Beijing announced that the U.S. and China have ironed out specifics to put their recent trade deal into action, building on an agreement struck earlier this month in London. They're calling it part of the "Geneva consensus," though the exact details remain a bit vague.
Editor’s Note: Trade tensions between the U.S. and China have been a big deal for years, so any sign of cooperation—even if it’s just confirming old agreements—is worth noting. But until we see concrete actions, it’s hard to say whether this is real progress or just diplomatic talk.
Japan hangs 'Twitter killer' in first execution since 2022
negativeU.S News
Japan carried out its first execution in nearly three years, putting to death a man who lured and murdered nine people he connected with on social media. The case, dubbed the "Twitter killer," shocked the nation due to its calculated brutality and exploitation of online platforms to target victims.
Editor’s Note: This isn't just another crime story—it’s a grim reminder of how digital spaces can be weaponized, and it reignites debates over Japan’s use of the death penalty. The case also forces a hard look at how social media platforms can inadvertently facilitate real-world violence, making it relevant far beyond Japan’s borders.
Ex-Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy pleads for civil political discourse, warns 'democracy is at risk'
negativeU.S News
Retired Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy is sounding the alarm about the increasingly hostile political climate, arguing that toxic rhetoric and threats against judges are undermining democracy itself. He’s calling for a return to civil debate and stronger protections for judicial independence—basically, a plea to cool things down before lasting damage is done.
Editor’s Note: Kennedy isn’t just another voice in the political noise—he’s a respected legal figure who spent decades at the highest court. His warning carries weight because he’s seen firsthand how polarization can erode trust in institutions. If even judges aren’t safe from intimidation, it’s a bad sign for the health of democracy as a whole.
Trump says the U.S. has signed a deal with China on trade, without giving details
neutralU.S News
President Trump announced that the U.S. and China have signed a trade agreement, though he didn’t provide specifics. He also hinted at a potential deal with India soon.
Editor’s Note: Trade tensions between the U.S. and China have been a big deal for businesses and markets, so any progress—even vague—could ease some uncertainty. But without details, it’s hard to know if this is a major breakthrough or just a small step. The mention of India adds another layer, suggesting the administration is pushing multiple trade fronts at once.
Zohran Mamdani's primary win and the Democrats' Tea Party moment
neutralU.S News
In a surprising twist, New York State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the NYC Democratic mayoral primary. Cuomo, a seasoned centrist with a long political career, was widely expected to win, but Mamdani—a younger, progressive newcomer—managed to pull off the upset. The race highlighted a growing divide within the Democratic Party between its establishment and insurgent progressive wings.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about one primary—it’s a sign of shifting tides in Democratic politics. Mamdani’s win echoes the Tea Party’s shakeup of the GOP years ago, where grassroots energy toppled establishment favorites. Whether this signals a lasting leftward push or just a one-off upset, it’s a clear warning to party centrists: progressive challengers aren’t going away. For voters, it’s a reminder that even "safe" races can deliver surprises.
