The Wall Street Journal reports that 10 American military personnel were wounded when an Iranian

missile hit a shared base in Saudi Arabia.

Two of them were in serious condition, NPR's independently confirmed that the attack

did take place.

President Trump is ordering the Department of Homeland Security and Office of Management

and Budget to pay TSA agents.

As NPR's Daniel Kurt Sleben reports, the order comes as Congress again, failed to end

the DHS shutdown.

In the memo, President Trump says the slowdowns at airport security and low morale among

TSA workers, quote, constitute an emergency situation compromising the nation's security

and quote.

The memo states that 60,000 TSA employees are currently not being paid.

Since federal agents killed two Americans in Minneapolis earlier this year, Democrats

have refused to fund DHS without limits on immigration enforcement tactics.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has rejected a Senate pass bill that would fund DHS,

minus ice and border patrol.

Johnson called the bill a joke.

Danielle Kurt Sleben and NPR News, the White House.

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffery says the better way forward in the budget showdown

is to have the House vote on the funding measure passed by the Senate Thursday night that

compromise bill would restore funding for much of DHS, including FEMA, the Coast Guard

and TSA.

House Democrats are prepared to support the bill to end the Trump Republican shutdown

of the Department of Homeland Security.

Make sure TSA agents are paid.

Stand up for FEMA and for the Coast Guard and for our cybersecurity professionals.

Democrats have been holding up the funding because they want ice agents to stop wearing

face masks, wear the same identification other police agencies use, and to stop conducting

raids around schools and other sensitive places.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hagueceth has intervened to stop the promotions of six military officers

and P.S. Quill Lawrence reports that they were black or female and untracked to become

one-star generals.

Since he took office, Pete Hagueceth has fired many prominent black and female officers.

Now U.S. officials familiar with the matter, but not authorized to speak publicly, told NPR

that Hagueceth made the highly unusual move of interfering in the regular promotion process

to block three female and three black officers from becoming generals.

A different U.S. official confirmed that Hagueceth has been weeding out senior officers

who are deemed ideologically incompatible.

Before his appointment by the Trump administration, Hagueceth wrote books disparaging the U.S.

military as woke and suggesting that diversity in the ranks has weakened the force.

the U.S. wants his country to hand over territory in order to receive American security guarantees.

Rubio says he told Ukraine that Russia wanted the land exchange, but that the U.S. is not

advocating for that in ceasefire talks.

The last talks between the U.S. and Ukraine took place last week in Florida.

Confer Tiger Woods was arrested on suspicion of DUI today after a crash near his home on

Jupiter Island, Florida.

Sophia Bautadano, member station WLRN, has more on our story.

The Martin County Sheriff's Office say Woods showed signs of impairment at the scene of

the crash and wish he struck another vehicle and rolled over.

Authorities say Woods and the other driver were not injured.

Woods is also facing another misdemeanor charge of refusal to submit a lawful test.

While Woods took a breath analyzer test, which registered nothing, police say he refuses

to submit a urine sample.

The accident marks the third time Woods has been involved in a car crash.

In February 2021, his SUV ran off a coastal road in Los Angeles, causing multiple leg

and ankle injuries.

He was also arrested on DUI charge in 2017 when South Florida police found him asleep

behind the wheel.
