In this fragile moment, I asked Roberts if he would feel comfortable visiting the White House as the manager of Jackie Robinson’s team. “For me, I stand by: I’m a baseball manager,” Roberts told me Saturday at the Dodgers’ fan festival.

Iranian FM on Trump negotiations and warIran is open to participate in a "fair and equitable" deal talks with the United States amid rising tensions between the two nations. CNN senior international correspondent Frederik Pleitgen sat down with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to discuss the topic. Thousands of people were killed in the brutal crackdown on recent protests and tens of thousands are in prison. CNN operates in Iran only with government permission.

Trump withdrew the United States from the 2015 deal to limit Iran’s nuclear program during his first term. “It is not possible to reach and damage these capabilities easily.”Those capabilities pose enough of a threat that some Persian Gulf states have taken steps to distance themselves from the U.S. buildup. Open-source analysis of Iran’s missile program supports the government assessment of its capabilities. The Israeli strikes didn’t completely destroy Iranian missile factories, Hinz said; rather, they destroyed key elements of the missile-production process such as mixing equipment. Damage to Iranian missile bases is more difficult to assess because the facilities are so deep underground.

In one sense, Trump’s appearance put him inside one of official Washington’s longtime traditions: the annual dinner of the Alfalfa Club, an exclusive organization of CEOs, politicians and other Washington luminaries. At the dinner, Trump ridiculed his political opponents, joked about an imminent invasion of Greenland and suggested that he might sue his newly appointed Federal Reserve chairman. A long procession of presidents have attended the Alfalfa Club dinner, but Trump canceled an appearance in 2017 and did not return until Saturday. After the dinner, Trump boarded Air Force One to fly to Palm Beach and spoke extensively with reporters during the flight. Trump spoke still wearing his tuxedo, fresh from the dinner.

People have frequently compared U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration policies to former President Barack Obama's. Snopes has fact-checked several of these claims over the years, including ones about Trump's "border czar," Tom Homan, who worked for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under both presidents. Since the start of Trump's first presidential term in 2017, we've investigated other rumors about Obama's immigration policies, too — like how many people his administration deported without them having a chance to plead their cases in court. Obama's past quotes about immigration and deportations have circulated in recent years, as well. These nine rumors about Obama's immigration policies have surfaced since Trump first took over the White House:

Julia Jones and her colleagues from Christie’s auction house looked through hundreds of items that belonged to Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter — paintings, jewelry, photos, silverware and tables — while touring the family’s storage unit. The Carters and Joe and Jill Biden gathered around the armchairs for a photo that went viral in 2021. The wide-angle lens made the room look like a dollhouse, with the Bidens appearing like giants who towered over the Carters.

When a Christie’s employee called Tane about the chairs a few weeks ago, Tane said, she wasn’t interested.
