A Texas doctor who exploited his medical credentials to orchestrate a multimillion-dollar scam—built on lies and fake diagnoses—has been sentenced to a decade behind bars.
Jorge Zamora-Quezada, 68, was found guilty of falsely diagnosing patients with rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic and irreversible disease, in order to collect massive sums from both government and private insurance companies. The fraudulent operation netted him $118 million and financed a life of extreme luxury.
Along with the 10-year prison sentence, the federal court ordered Zamora-Quezada to surrender more than $28 million in assets. This included a lavish collection of possessions: 13 properties, a private jet, and a Maserati GranTurismo.

President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that the United States will postpone the start of a planned 50% tariff on imports from the European Union, pushing the implementation date from June 1 to July 9 to allow additional time for trade discussions with the EU.
The decision followed a phone conversation earlier in the day between Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Trump said von der Leyen expressed a strong desire to move forward with serious negotiations.
“I told anybody that would listen, they have to do that,” Trump told reporters in Morristown, New Jersey, before heading back to Washington. According to Trump, von der Leyen promised to “rapidly get together and see if we can work something out.”

A former staff member who worked closely with President Joe Biden has disclosed that individuals within the White House felt it was acceptable to cross democratic boundaries in their efforts to prevent Donald Trump from returning to office.

According to a report from Egypt’s “Al-Ghad” news channel, Hamas has agreed in principle to release ten living hostages and return the bodies of sixteen Israeli captives as part of a developing ceasefire agreement.
Israel is currently reviewing Hamas’ conditions, which reportedly include the release of all Palestinian prisoners from Gaza who were arrested before or after the October 7, 2023 attacks.
Sources familiar with the negotiations, which are taking place in Doha under Qatari, American, and Egyptian mediation, told the Cairo-based outlet that significant progress has been made. The proposed deal reportedly centers around a 60-day comprehensive ceasefire, during which hostages would be released in stages.

What began as a May 30 tribute to America’s fallen service members has, since 1971, been officially recognized as Memorial Day—a federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May each year.
While originally intended as a solemn day of remembrance, the holiday has increasingly become associated with commercial activity, with many businesses choosing to stay open and offering large-scale sales. Today, Memorial Day weekend is also one of the busiest times for travel and retail in the United States.
Here’s a rundown of what’s open and closed this Memorial Day:

President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that recent discussions with Iran were highly encouraging, as the fifth round of indirect negotiations took place between the two nations.
Addressing the press, Trump conveyed optimism regarding a potential breakthrough in the talks. “We had some very good talks with Iran yesterday and today, and let’s see what happens. But I think we could have some good news on the Iran front,” he said.

Donald Trump delivered some of his most forceful remarks to date about Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday night, posting on Truth Social that the Russian leader had gone “absolutely” crazy and warning that his continued aggression could ultimately destroy Russia.
The comments followed a string of pointed criticisms Trump made about Putin earlier in the day while speaking with reporters in New Jersey.
“I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!,” Trump wrote.
“He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever,” Trump said.

Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas stated on MSNBC’s “Alex Witt Reports” that Democrats are poised to regain control in the 2026 midterm elections—and if they do, they intend to launch investigations into President Donald Trump and his family.
During the segment, host Alex Witt asked, “I’m curious if the Democrats take over after the midterms next year, the House and or Senate, do you think they’re going to push for investigations into Trump’s family and the whole crypto acquisitions that he has getting?”

During a visit to Gaza on Sunday, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir emphasized that Israel’s military campaign against Hamas would not drag on indefinitely.
“We are intensifying our activity in accordance with the orderly plan. Hamas is under tremendous pressure; it has lost most of its assets and its command and control,” Zamir said while touring Khan Younis in southern Gaza with Southern Command chief Maj. Gen. Yaniv Asor.
Zamir made it clear that the military would deploy every available resource to secure the release of the hostages and bring about the downfall of Hamas. “We will activate all of our tools so that we can return the hostages home, defeat Hamas, and dismantle its rule,” he stated, according to a release from the IDF.
