“The Constitutional Court has declared the questions of constitutional legitimacy raised by the Turin court partially unfounded and partially inadmissible,” the court announced. Italy’s citizenship rules have been bound up with its diaspora since the country was formed. The Italian Constitutional Court's decision supports a new law introduced last year by the Italian government. Most emigrants left from Sicily, where enterprising local authorities have tried to redress the balance by tempting back Italian descendants from abroad.

Media watch: What’s in the Water at CNN? Even after that was “widely mocked,” anchor Abby Phillip later wrongly claimed the attack was aimed at Mayor Mamdani.

A federal law required TikTok to either be shut down in the US or sold to domestic owners at the beginning of President Donald Trump’s second term.

Russian president Vladimir Putin has been eager to get those sanctions dropped because oil sales will help the flailing Russian economy. At a Senate Armed Services Committee meeting yesterday, Senator Angus King (I-ME) said: “There is a clear winner in this war. That’s about $400 million a day from the increase in oil prices and the easing of sanctions, which is somewhat puzzling to me…. We have the best drones in the world, actually.”Six American servicemembers are dead after a military refueling plane crashed in Iraq. Perhaps the clearest sign the administration is concerned about the Iran war is that Vance is distancing himself from it.

Throughout his second term as president, Donald Trump has enjoyed a bounty of forgiveness from his MAGA constituents and Republicans generally. More than half of the people deported by midsummer 2025 had no criminal conviction, according to a Washington Post analysis. Nearly 60 percent of Americans say Trump has gone too far with his immigration policies, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll. Maybe dog-killing cowgirl Kristi L. Noem, whom Trump recently removed as homeland security secretary, could join them.

On Tuesday, CNN’s X account tweeted this narrative: “Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather.
