Trump Reassigns Waltz Amid Signalgate, Urges End to Venezuelan Protections; Street Festivals Planned as Chestnut Hill Event Delayed; Edwards Lauds Gobert After Win
Three major street festivals are planned across northwest Philadelphia this weekend, promising a lively celebration of spring on both Saturday and Sunday. However, the Chestnut Hill event has been postponed to May 18. Former President Donald Trump is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the federal government to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans residing in the United States. The move follows a decision by Senior U.S. District Judge Edward Chen that blocked the Department of Homeland Security's attempt to terminate the program, arguing it was based on flawed reasoning and negative stereotypes. Solicitor General D. John Sauer, representing the administration, contends that such judicial intervention improperly undermines the Executive Branch’s exclusive authority over immigration and foreign policy. The Supreme Court has asked TPS beneficiaries to respond to the government’s application by May 8. President Trump has reassigned Mike Waltz from his role as national security adviser following the fallout from the Signalgate controversy. Waltz, a former Florida congressman, was removed after it was revealed he had inadvertently included a journalist in a Signal group chat where top officials, including Vice President J.D. Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, discussed confidential plans for U.S. airstrikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen. Trump announced that Waltz will now be nominated to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, pending Senate confirmation. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will take over as national security adviser. The sensitive nature of the leaks has drawn sharp criticism from Democrats, with Senator Jeanne Shaheen calling the dismissal “abrupt” and urging accountability for those involved in sharing classified information through unsecured channels. Former President Donald Trump has removed Michael Waltz from his role as National Security Adviser and nominated him for a position at the United Nations. The move follows criticism of Waltz for mistakenly including a journalist in a chat group where sensitive military plans were being discussed. Anthony Edwards Praises Rudy Gobert Following Victory
The Minnesota Timberwolves secured a 103-96 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series, eliminating the Lakers and advancing to the next round. In a breakout performance, Rudy Gobert dominated with 27 points and 24 rebounds, stepping up in a big way as Anthony Edwards struggled offensively, shooting just 5-for-19 from the field. After the game, Edwards lauded Gobert’s effort, calling him a “dragon” and comparing his dominance to a character from "Game of Thrones." The victory caps a strong showing for Gobert, who has faced criticism since his trade to Minnesota but proved his value when it mattered most. The Timberwolves now await the winner of the Golden State Warriors vs. Houston Rockets series, as they prepare for the second round of the NBA playoffs.
