Trump is really pressing his luck on foreign interventions
But should the president again opt for a military option in Iran — after striking its nuclear facilities over the summer — he’ll really be pressing his political luck. Polls last year repeatedly showed Americans were quite concerned about further involvement in conflicts with both Iran and Venezuela. A June Reuters-Ipsos poll conducted shortly after the Iran strikes showed they were modestly unpopular, with 36% supporting them and 45% opposing them. Maxar TechnologiesBut one thing united Americans back then: being done with it all. Asked whether they wanted to “immediately” end US involvement in Iran, Americans leapt at that option by 30 points, 55%-25%.

Amid Fed Ramp-up and New Fears, Twin Cities Schools Offer Online Classes
Peggy Flanagan, a former Minneapolis School Board member, joined other Minnesota officials in demanding that ICE leave the state. In St. Paul, the district has asked impacted families to contact their child’s principal for help enrolling in its existing online school. Students in most Minnesota districts have yet to return to pre-pandemic academic achievement levels, according to an analysis in the Minnesota Reformer. “Districts really want to serve these students in person — that’s generally the most effective,” said Scott Croonquist, executive director of the Association of Metropolitan School Districts. Before COVID-19, online schools — then often of shoddy quality — had to earn state approval to operate, and temporary school closures were governed by rules addressing severe winter weather.

January 13, 2026 – Supreme Court arguments on transgender athletes in sports
The court’s decision could affect similar laws in more than half the country. • In one of the more remarkable moments from the arguments, Chief Justice John Roberts quickly sought to distinguish the sports cases from a 2020 precedent that protects gay and transgender employees from workplace discrimination. By doing so, he eviscerated a central argument that had been raised by the American Civil Liberties Union and other lawyers challenging the bans. • Throughout the arguments, the justices similarly wrestled with the question of whether transgender girls who have taken hormone therapy really have some inherent advantage in sports just because they were born male. • Attorneys for the transgender students urged the justices to send the cases back down to lower courts for a more thorough factual record to be developed – particularly on the question of whether transgender girls have some inherent advantages on girls teams.

Fifteen Thousand New York City Nurses Stage Largest Hospital Strike
The union called the action the largest nursing strike in New York City history, and picketing continued into a second day as negotiations remained stalled. City health officials and hospital leaders warned the walkout could create service bottlenecks and signed emergency measures to stabilize staffing. Union leaders framed such actions as efforts to intimidate staff and suppress organizing at a moment when nurses say patient safety is at stake. Union leaders argue that stable, well-supported nursing staff are essential to reducing disparities in outcomes for low-income and marginalized communities. Hospital executives say preserving operations during a large-scale strike requires temporary measures that can be costly and disruptive.

Videos Show Increasingly Aggressive Federal Crackdown in Minneapolis
The Department of Homeland Security said the Target worker seen in the video was arrested in connection with “assaulting, resisting or impeding federal officers.” It was unclear on Tuesday if the employee was charged. Federal officers are descending on streets in what they say is an effort to find undocumented immigrants with criminal and dangerous backgrounds. They are displaying a show of force they argue is necessary in cities and states where local governments and law enforcement agencies have refused to help them. The skirmishes between residents and the heavily armed federal agents have been especially nerve-racking for residents of Minneapolis, where the memories of the 2020 murder of George Floyd — and the protests and rioting that followed — are still raw. This time, residents and elected officials say, the fear is not abuses by law enforcement but an encroaching federal government.
