The Telegraph: Russia fooled by ‘HMS Prince Andrew’
Russian state media mistakenly reported on a satirical April Fool's joke about the UK expanding its Royal Navy with a fictional aircraft carrier named HMS Prince Andrew.

The error highlights the challenges faced by state media in discerning credible news from satire, as RT, a prominent Kremlin outlet, took the fictional claims seriously.
Forbes: Trump Says He Supports Parental Proxy Voting—Which Mike Johnson Calls ‘Unconstitutional’
President Trump expressed support for a proxy voting proposal allowing new parents in Congress to vote remotely, diverging from House Speaker Mike Johnson, who deems it unconstitutional. Trump emphasized the importance of enabling parents to vote while caring for newborns.

Fox News: Judge Boasberg poised to hold Trump admin in contempt, takes down names of DHS officials: 'Pretty sketchy'
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg questioned Trump administration lawyers about potential violations of a court order that blocked deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. The case centers on the deportation of Venezuelan nationals, including gang members, and whether the administration acted in bad faith.
Boasberg is considering contempt proceedings against the administration for allegedly ignoring an emergency injunction. He will decide next week whether to move forward with these proceedings after a tense court exchange regarding the deportation flights and the administration's compliance with the court's order.

The US Senate rejected resolutions by Senator Bernie Sanders to block $8.8 billion in weapon sales to Israel, with only 15 Democrats supporting the measures. The votes highlighted a shift in the Democratic Party's stance on Israel, as fewer members opposed the sales compared to previous attempts.
Senator Sanders emphasized the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where civilians face severe shortages due to a blockade. Despite the resolutions' failure, the debate reflects ongoing tensions regarding US support for Israel amid the conflict with Hamas.
