  Vice President JD Vance came to the Capitol to break the tie, meaning he vote was 51-50 for a Republican point of order to dismiss the war powers resolution. Cuba has reported a deadly confrontation off its northern coast, saying its forces killed four people aboard a Florida‑registered speedboat that allegedly opened fire on Cuban border troops. According to Cuba’s Interior Ministry, the vessel was detected roughly one nautical mile northeast of the El Pino canal in Cayo Falcones before the encounter escalated.  When Cuban Border Guard officers approached the boat for identification, those on board reportedly began shooting, injuring the commander of the Cuban patrol vessel.

Former Ukrainian Parliament Speaker Andriy Parubiy Assassinated in Lviv

 

                                            Andriy Parubiy, who at the time was Ukrainian Parliamentary Speaker


Former Ukrainian parliament speaker Andriy Parubiy has been shot dead in the western city of Lviv, officials confirmed on Saturday. The 54-year-old politician, who served as speaker of the Verkhovna Rada from 2016 to 2019 and was a prominent figure in Ukraine’s pro-European movements, died at the scene before medical help could arrive.

Authorities say the attack occurred around midday in Lviv’s Frankivsk district. Unconfirmed reports suggest the assailant, disguised as a courier and riding an e-bike, fired multiple shots before fleeing. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the killing as a “horrendous murder” and pledged that all necessary resources would be deployed to find the perpetrator.

Parubiy rose to prominence during the 2004 Orange Revolution and the 2013–2014 Euromaidan protests, playing a key role in Ukraine’s push toward closer ties with the European Union. His death has been described by political allies as both a personal tragedy and a symbolic attack on Ukraine’s democratic ideals.

The investigation is ongoing, with a nationwide operation launched to track down the killer.
