The Senate advanced a resolution to limit President Trump's war powers in Iran on Tuesday, marking a breakthrough for Democrats after seven failed attempts.

Senators approved a motion to discharge the resolution from committee in a 50 to 47 vote. Four Republicans — Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana — joined the bulk of Democrats in favor of advancing the resolution. Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was the sole Democrat to oppose.

The vote marked the first time Cassidy supported advancing a war powers resolution. It came days after he failed to win enough support to advance to a runoff in the Louisiana GOP Senate primary, where Mr. Trump endorsed one of his opponents.

And three Republicans — Sens. John Cornyn of Texas, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and Thom Tillis of...More

Roughly three-quarters of Americans say their incomes are lagging behind inflation, according to a CBS News poll.

Recent economic data attests to the dip in so-called real wages. In April, U.S. inflation rose at an annual rate of 3.8% from a year ago, while workers' paychecks grew 3.6% — the first time since 2023 that consumer prices have outpaced wage growth.

That sense of slipping backward, particularly driven by surging gasoline prices, is worsening the affordability challenges facing many people: 76% of survey respondents reported concern about their personal finances, CBS News found.

Some 64% also described the state of the economy as "very bad" or "fairly bad," according to the survey, which was conducted from May 13-15.

"People are looking at higher prices across the board, and their dollar is not carrying them as far as it previously was," Angela Hanks, a former Department...More

Few players in NBA history have entered the league with as much hype as Victor Wembanyama. And somehow, some way, the giant Frenchman continues to exceed even the wildest expectations.

Late on Monday night, Wembanyama authored one of the finest playoff performances we've ever seen to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 122-115 double-overtime victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in an instant classic in Game 1 of the 2026 Western Conference Finals.

This was the first double-overtime game in the Western Conference Finals since 1976, and Wembanyama finished with 41 points, 24 rebounds, three assists and three blocks on 14 of 25 from the field in 49 minutes to become the youngest player in NBA history to...More

The two teens who carried out a shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego on Monday were wallowing in a world of hate.

"These subjects did not discriminate in who they hated," said Mark Remily, special agent in charge of the FBI's San Diego Field Office, at a press conference Tuesday.

Authorities said they believe the two teens met online and discovered they were both residents of the San Diego area before meeting in person.

The two, radicalized online, shared a hate-filled vision of the world, according to investigators. A document the FBI called a "manifesto," which has been reviewed by CBS News, appears to glorify past mass shooters and spout anti-Islamic and antisemitic rhetoric as well as racist and misogynistic speech.

A suicide note left by one of the teens indicated he was willing to die for his abhorrent cause, according to a law...More

A bear mauled to death a man at Vitosha, a mountainous region just outside the Bulgarian capital of Sofia, authorities said Monday.

The 35-year-old man's body was found in the area of Vitosha Nature Park on Saturday, and a forensic doctor and a big game expert determined he was killed by a bear, Bulgaria's interior ministry said in a statement.

"The findings of the medical examiner and a wildlife expert show that marks found on the body are those of a female bear accompanied by her cub," a Sofia police spokesperson told AFP.

His body was located Saturday afternoon near a road connecting two chalets in the northwestern part of the mountainous area around half an hour by road out of Sofia. Authorities said police would patrol the area, camera traps will be placed and a drone will fly over the perimeter.

Vitosha is a popular hiking destination for residents of the Sofia, being...More

In the months after U.S. forces removed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro from power in a daring but relatively brief military operation, President Trump has openly intimated that something similar could soon take place in Cuba.

He has said "Cuba's going to be next" and mused about "taking Cuba in some form."

For decades, U.S. administrations have tried and failed to bring about major changes to Cuba's communist system, imposing sanctions but making little headway as its economy fell into ruins.

As living conditions in Cuba further worsen under a virtual oil blockade imposed by the Trump administration following Maduro's ouster, U.S. officials have been meeting with key Cuban figures to press for economic and political reform.

Mr. Trump has signaled he's looking for something big for Cuba, possibly a change at the top, similar to the Maduro operation. He...More
