A NC Supreme Court 4-3 ruling has ended the 32-year Leandro school funding case. The majority (led by Chief Justice Newby) vacated a 2023 lower court order for $677M+ in new spending (potentially billions more), dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, and ruled courts can't dictate education budgets to the legislature—calling it a separation of powers win amid major changes in NC schools since 1994. Dissenters argued it harms students' constitutional right to sound basic education.

In his primetime speech from the White House, Trump stated that U.S. "core strategic objectives" in Operation Epic Fury are "nearing completion" after 32 days. He described "overwhelming victories," saying Iran's military capabilities (navy, air force, missiles) have been crippled and it is "no longer a threat."

Trump warned the U.S. will "hit them extremely hard" over the next 2-3 weeks, potentially targeting electric grids to "bring them back to the Stone Ages" if no deal is reached. He framed the conflict as payback for decades of Iranian aggression, predicted it would end "shortly," and urged allies to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. No new announcements on ground troops or exact timeline.
