1. Tommy Robinson FREED

Tommy Robinson has been released from prison after what a judge called a “change in attitude”.

The 42-year-old, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, left HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes on Tuesday after his 18-month sentence was reduced by four months at the High Court last week.

He had longer hair than previously and a bushy beard, and was wearing a rosary around his neck.

2. NPR Sues Trump Over Funding Cuts

National Public Radio and three of its affiliates in Colorado sued the Trump administration on Tuesday over a sweeping executive order signed earlier this month that would terminate the outlet’s federal funding.

In a suit filed in DC federal court, NPR and three stations — Colorado Public Radio in Centennial, Roaring Fork Public Radio in Aspen and KSUT Public Radio in Ignacio — alleged that President Trump’s order unconstitutionally infringes on First Amendment protections.

“The Order’s objectives could not be clearer: the Order aims to punish NPR for the content of news and other programming the President dislikes and chill the free exercise of First Amendment rights by NPR and individual public radio stations across the country,” attorneys representing the radio stations wrote in the 43-page filing.

3. Trump Asks Supreme Court to Lift Deportation Restrictions

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Tuesday to lift a judge’s order blocking authorities from removing migrants to countries with which they have no ties, warning it is “wreaking havoc.”

U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy issued the injunction in April, but it has taken on increased prominence after the judge found the administration violated the ruling last week by attempting to deport a group of eight migrants with violent criminal convictions to South Sudan.

In response, the plane instead landed at a military base in Djibouti so the migrants can first have an opportunity to contest their removals to South Sudan, a war-torn country that has seen a surge of violence in recent months.

4. WATCH: Female Secret Service Agents Brawl Outside Obama’s Home

Shocking footage captured the moment two female Secret Service agents fought with each other outside former President Barack Obama’s $8 million DC mansion.

The altercation unfolded May 21 at around 2:30am as the former president’s security detail grappled next to a police vehicle.

In audio before the fight shared by RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree, one of the Secret Service agents was reportedly heard calling for a supervisor as she threatened to attack her colleague.

5. Tommy Tuberville Launches Run for Alabama Governor

Sen. Tommy Tuberville is running for Alabama governor in 2026.

The Alabama Republican launched his campaign website on Tuesday, ending weeks of speculation about his ambitions for the state’s highest office.

Tuberville is looking to succeed termed-out Republican Gov. Kay Ivey. He is immediately the frontrunner to win the seat in the deep red state, with other potential Republican candidates opting against a campaign. His decision also sets up an open Senate race in Alabama in the midterms.

6. Putin Seizes Ukrainian Border Villages

Russian forces have taken four border villages in Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region, a local official said Tuesday, days after Russian President Vladimir Putin said he had ordered troops to establish a buffer zone along the border.

Sumy borders Russia’s Kursk region, where a surprise Ukrainian incursion last year captured a pocket of land in the first occupation of Russian territory since World War II. The long border is vulnerable to Ukrainian incursions, Putin said, and creating a buffer zone could help Russia prevent further cross-border attacks there.

Meanwhile, a Russian bombing campaign that had escalated in recent days slowed overnight, with far fewer Russian drones targeting Ukrainian towns and cities.

7. YouTube Removes Top Canadian Political Channel

A Canadian YouTube channel that was dominating the platform during the country’s recent election has vanished, after the state-funded Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reached out to the social media giant, and branded it a ‘content farm’ in a Friday hit-piece.

The channel, “Real Talk Politiks,” had over 300,000 subscribers and more than 70 million views in the month of April, according to ViewStats.com – making it the third-most viewed Canadian news and politics channel over the past three months.

In a Sunday thread on X, Real Talk Politiks explained:

CBC, Canada’s state-funded media just got YouTube to terminate my channel — not for breaking rules, but for having the wrong political views.
