Trump administration clears way to keep Alina Habba as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump has taken steps to keep Alina Habba, his former defense attorney, as acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey despite a federal judges’ panel declining to extend her interim tenure. Habba’s term was ending, and judges had appointed her subordinate, Desiree Leigh Grace, to replace her. However, Trump’s administration withdrew Habba’s nomination and designated her acting U.S. Attorney, allowing her to remain for 210 days. Habba, noted for controversial prosecutions—including against Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and Rep. LaMonica McIver—and investigations into state officials, has faced opposition from New Jersey’s Democratic senators, complicating her permanent appointment.

CBS Miami highlights free mammogram program with mobile mammovan
SUMMARY: CBS Miami is promoting a free mammogram program via a mobile Mammovan in Miami Gardens, offering hospital-quality screenings on-site. Women can walk in without appointments or prescriptions, regardless of insurance status. The process includes demographic intake, a screening mammogram, and an ultrasound for those with dense breast tissue, all completed in about ten minutes. Results are sent within 24 hours to the patient and their doctor. This convenient, no-cost service removes barriers to breast cancer screening by providing all necessary tests in one location, encouraging more women to take advantage of these life-saving exams.
CBS News Miami anchor Betty Nguyen went inside the mammovan to show how women, insured or uninsured, can receive free mammograms and same-day results in just 10 minutes.

The drills, held in both countries and lasting through Tuesday, aim to demonstrate their close defense ties and Russia’s military strength. Recent Russian drone incursions into Polish airspace heightened fears of broader conflict. Belarus initially planned 13,000 troops near its western border but later reduced numbers and shifted maneuvers inward. Exercises include practicing the use of Russian nuclear weapons and new Oreshnik missiles, which Russia may station in Belarus. Belarus also recently freed political prisoners, signaling a possible thaw with the West.
