marks the extension of Trump's campaign against alleged drug traffickers at sea.
Since September, the U.S.
has blown up dozens of boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific.
Also, the House Oversight Committee has voted to compel Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about how she has handled the Epstein investigation.
A handful of Republicans crossed party lines to join Democrats in pushing to subpoena her, a rare congressional rebuke of a Trump administration official.
Lawmakers of both parties have accused Bondi of slow-walking the release of files related to the convicted sex offender and illegally withholding materials after Congress passed a law requiring their release.
She'll likely also face questions about whether her department compromised or exposed victims when it posted dozens of unredacted images of nude women from the files, some of whom may have been teenagers.
And last update, a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to take the first steps toward issuing more than a billion dollars in tariff refunds.
It follows the Supreme Court's ruling that struck down many of Trump's tariffs.
The justices left it to lower courts to figure out how refunds should be handled.
The Trump administration, however, has argued that refunding businesses would create a fiscal crisis for the U.S.
and is likely to appeal this order.
Trump has also been looking to put many tariffs back in place using different legal authorities.
A new study out this week shows that nearly half of all colorectal cancer cases now occur in adults under 65.
It's a major shift in the demographics of the disease, which had been thought of, as one scientist said, as grandpa's disease.
The data was published by the American Cancer Society.
Researchers have also observed how the risk is going up with each generation.
People born in 1990 are twice as likely to develop colon cancer than those born in 1950, and four times as likely to develop rectal cancer.
The findings suggest that there may be unique drivers of the disease in younger generations.
For example, scientists think environmental exposures that started around the 1950s may be partially responsible.
