A big week, from The Hague to Tehran and New York
Linda Feldmann
It鈥檚 been a big news week: President Donald Trump made it to the NATO summit at The Hague, but not before he reprimanded Israel and Iran for violating their ceasefire. Now he鈥檚 fighting his own political war at home, trying to overcome a leaked early U.S. intelligence finding that the attack on Iran鈥檚 nuclear facilities set the nation鈥檚 program back by only a few months. In New York City鈥檚 Democratic primary for mayor, the victory by Zohran Mamdani, a charismatic young democratic socialist, over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo made waves of its own. And at the Supreme Court, Planned Parenthood sustained a major defeat in a ruling that further narrows abortion access three years after the landmark Dobbs decision, which overturned the nationwide right to abortion. In Congress, President Trump鈥檚 budget bill aims to cut funding to Planned Parenthood.
