TAKEOFF.

New Tornado Threat Looms Over Midwest, South.

Severe storms were expected to batter the southern Plains, Midwest, and Southeast through Tuesday, putting more than 30 million Americans under threat from hurricane-force winds, flash flooding, and hail up to the size of tennis balls.

One enhanced risk zone covered nearly all of Tennessee and Kentucky, affecting 13.6 million people. Another broader area from Indianapolis to Atlanta—including St. Louis, Louisville, Memphis, and Birmingham—was under slight risk warnings.

The storms follow a deadly stretch of extreme weather that left at least 28 dead and over 127,000 without power, mostly in Missouri and Kentucky.

World’s First Bladder Transplant Succeeds.

Doctors at UCLA and USC have performed the world’s first successful human bladder transplant, giving 40-something father Oscar Larrainzar a new bladder and kidney during an eight-hour surgery on May 4.

The landmark procedure followed a four-year collaboration between the schools and is part of an ongoing UCLA clinical trial.

Larrainzar, who had been on dialysis for seven years, is reportedly doing well with fully functioning donor organs and no need for post-op dialysis. See photos here.

Surgeons say the breakthrough could offer new hope to patients with severe bladder dysfunction.

George Wendt, Cheers Star, Dies at 76.

George Wendt, the actor who brought Norm Peterson to life on NBC’s Cheers, died peacefully in his sleep at home Tuesday morning. He was 76.

Wendt starred in all 275 episodes of the hit series, earning six consecutive Emmy nominations for his portrayal of the lovable Boston bar regular.

A native of Chicago, Wendt got his start in improv with the Second City comedy troupe before making it big in television. He later reprised the Norm role in Frasier and other series, and fronted his own short-lived CBS sitcom.

He is survived by his wife, Bernadette Birkett—who voiced Norm’s unseen wife on Cheers—and their three children.

POLITICS.

President Trump unveiled details Tuesday for his proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense system, saying it will be fully operational within three years and cost $175 billion—far less than earlier projections.

Also on Tuesday, Trump met with House Republicans in a closed-door Capitol Hill session to rally support for his sweeping legislative package, urging party unity and telling members to “stop fighting and get it done.”

The Senate unanimously approved a bill Tuesday to eliminate federal taxes on tips, one of President Trump’s campaign promises. The bill heads now to the House.

Two senior members of Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada’s team were killed in a targeted attack in a central part of the capital, officials confirmed Tuesday.

TAKEOFF.

SCOTUS Debates Judges’ Limits.

The Supreme Court grappled Thursday with how far federal judges can go in blocking presidential actions, as it reviewed President Trump’s order to end birthright citizenship.

The justices sidestepped the policy’s constitutionality during the day’s arguments, zeroing in instead on whether a single judge can halt a presidential order nationwide.

Trump’s executive orders have been blocked 40 times in the first 100 days by multiple lower courts. Justices across the ideological spectrum voiced concern over the chaos that could result without nationwide injunctions.

With a decision expected by June, the justices appear divided on the issue of national injunctions. For now, Trump’s order ending birthright citizenship remains on hold.

Boeing Lands $96 Billion Deal With Qatar Airways.

Boeing has locked in the biggest aircraft order in its history: a $96 billion deal with Qatar Airways for up to 210 widebody jets, unveiled this week during President Trump’s visit to Doha.

The purchase includes 130 Dreamliners and 30 777Xs, with options for 50 more. Powering this fleet: more than 400 GE Aerospace engines, making it the largest widebody engine order GE has ever received.

The deal is part of broader U.S.-Qatar agreements totaling over $243 billion and is projected to support around 154,000 U.S. jobs annually, bolstering America’s aerospace industry during a key recovery phase.

Glowing Petunias Hit U.S. Stores.

For the first time, Americans can buy the bioengineered, glow-in-the-dark Firefly Petunias—a 2024 top invention—in brick-and-mortar garden stores nationwide.

Developed by Idaho biotech startup Light Bio, the petunias emit a natural green glow at night using genes from a luminous mushroom.

They were approved by the USDA in late 2023 and are sold only as live plants, not seeds or bulbs. The flowers retail for about $14 each in compostable pots at more than 200 garden centers, including select Home Depot locations.

Previously available only online, they are hitting shelves in time for the peak spring planting season.

POLITICS.

Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) withdrew his impeachment resolution against President Trump on Wednesday after backlash from party leaders, who called it a “distraction.”

In addition, Qatar Airways is set to announce the purchase of 150 Boeing aircraft during Trump’s state visit to Doha today.

The overall package features U.S. support for modernizing Saudi armed forces and came with much formality.

MLB Reinstates Rose and ‘Shoeless’ Joe.

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred on Tuesday removed Pete Rose, “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, and 15 other deceased people from the league’s permanently ineligible list, ending their lifetime bans after death.

The decision, a major shift in baseball’s position toward gambling, opens the door for Rose, baseball’s all-time hit leader, and Jackson, caught up the 1919 Black Sox cheating scandal, to be considered for Hall of Fame induction starting in 2028.

Rose was banned in 1989 for betting on baseball while managing the Cincinnati Reds, and Jackson, a popular Chicago White Sox star, was banned in 1921. According to legend, a tearful young boy approached Jackson after he was expelled from baseball and pleaded, “Say it ain’t so, Joe!”

Rose died last September, never seeing his name on a Hall ballot. President Trump had called for his reinstatement earlier this year.

State Ranking: Income Needed to Buy a Home.

In nearly half of the U.S. states, a typical family of four doesn’t earn enough to afford a median-priced three-bedroom home, according to a new analysis.

The findings use a 6.65% mortgage rate, 10% down payment, and assume housing costs shouldn’t exceed 30% of a family’s gross income.

Hawaii ranks as the least affordable, requiring a $229,000 income to buy a $797,000 home, 41% more than the state’s median four-person household income.

California, Montana, Idaho, and New York also made the top five. By contrast, states like Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois offer the most breathing room, where typical family incomes outpace what’s needed for homeownership.

Thirty-five states and Washington, D.C., now require six-figure incomes for a family of four to buy a home.
