Good morning, I'm Craig DeGrelli. It's Friday, May 23rd, 2025, and these are your Unbiased Updates

They were young, in love, and planning to start a life together, gunned down outside a D.C. museum

This morning, who they were and the suspect's chilling motive. Plus, everything was on fire

all at once. Those words from witnesses of a private jet slamming into a San Diego neighborhood

the new death toll, and who was on board. And not so fast. A judge blocks Trump from shutting down

the education department. Why school is still in for 1300 federal workers

The stories that matter, clear and credible from across the country to around the world

These are your unbiased updates from Straight Arrow News. A community in Kansas gathered last night to honor Sarah Milgram, the Jewish woman killed

in a brazen shooting in Washington, D.C. this week. Today is a horrible day for the Kansas City Jewish community, but it's even more devastating for the Milgram family

This morning, Bob and Nancy Milgram got the unimaginable call that their beautiful daughter Sarah was murdered in Washington, D.C

She was murdered because she was an employee of the Israel embassy. She was murdered because she was Jewish

And she was murdered alongside her boyfriend, Yaron. Milgram was from Overland Park, Kansas, the largest suburb of Kansas City

Her former roommate and friend, Amanda Berger, remembered her this way. Something I think Sarah would want me to say is please strive to learn as much as you can

Educate yourself as much as possible so that you can advocate for others

If you think you know a lot about something or someone, endeavor to learn more

A gunman shot and killed Milgram and her boyfriend Yelron Lashinsky an Israeli citizen outside the Capitol Jewish Museum Wednesday night where they had gone for a diplomatic event Friends say they devoted

their lives to peace. Israel's ambassador to the United States said Lashinsky had planned to

propose marriage next week in Jerusalem. The Washington Post, citing an FBI affidavit

is reporting the suspect, 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago, confessed to police saying

I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza. He's charged with murder of foreign officials and other counts

He did not enter a plea in his first court appearance. Israeli embassies worldwide have lowered flags to half-staff and increased security

Yaron and Sarah were the victims of a random crime. The terrorists who cruelly gunned them down did so for one reason and one reason alone

He wanted to kill Jews. And as he was taken away, he chanted, free Palestine

This is exactly the same chant we heard on October 7th. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also pushed back against global criticism of his military offensive in Gaza

He says leaders like Emmanuel Macron, Mark Carney, and Keir Starmer are on the wrong side of history for condemning Israel's actions

The Western leaders have threatened concrete actions if Israel does not halt the offensive

and lift a blockade on humanitarian aid in Gaza. A fiery plane crash tore through a San Diego neighborhood Thursday

as people were sleeping in their homes, killing six and shaking an entire community

What a scene. The private jet slammed into a power line in heavy fog

then crashed into a house, bursting into flames and killing all six people on board

Among the dead, top music agent Dave Shapiro. He was the co-founder of Sound Talent Group, which represents acts like Hanson, Sum 41, and Vanessa Carlton

Shapiro also owned Velocity Records. Eight people on the ground got hurt none critically Jet fuel spilled into the street igniting half a dozen cars on fire and damaging 10 homes One family escaped their burning house with the help of

neighbors. The couple and their children are alive, but their home is destroyed

The NTSB says the plane clipped power lines before impact. A major legal setback for the Trump administration's push to dismantle the Department of Education

A federal judge in Boston has blocked the president's executive order aimed at shutting

down the department. The judge also ordered the temporary reinstatement of more than 1,300

employees laid off in March. The ruling says the mass firings have crippled the government's ability

to carry out federally mandated education programs. The case was brought by a coalition of states

arguing the layoffs were illegal. The judge agreed to a preliminary injunction allowing workers to

return to their jobs while the lawsuit plays out. The judge also said President Trump's closure

order directly contradicts Congress's intent and reminded the administration that even with a GOP

majority, dismantling a federal department still requires bipartisan approval. The Trump administration immediately appealed the ruling, saying once again, a far left judge has dramatically

overstepped his authority. A deportation showdown is unfolding overseas and now it's drawing fire

from the president himself. Eight migrants removed from the United States are now being held at a U.S

military base in Djibouti after a federal judge said the Trump administration violated a court

order by trying to send them to South Sudan without due process. Judge Brian Murphy said

the men were not told where they were going or given a chance to object. The administration must

now give them what are called reasonable fear interviews and 15 days to challenge removal if

needed. President Trump blasted the judge calling the migrants, quote, some of the most violent

criminals on Earth and accusing the court of putting national security at risk

More mixed signals out of Washington over the war in Ukraine Just days after President Trump spoke with Vladimir Putin for two hours Senate Republicans are threatening harsh new sanctions if Russia does not move forward on a ceasefire

The bipartisan bill reportedly has support from more than 80 senators and would slap 500 percent tariffs on countries that continue buying Russian oil and gas

Senate Majority Leader John Thune did not mince words. If Russia is not willing to engage in serious diplomacy

the Senate will work with the Trump administration to consider additional sanctions

to force Putin to start negotiating. But the Trump administration is hesitant

warning new sanctions could backfire and derail peace talks entirely. Secretary of State Marco

Rubio said threatening Russia now would likely make Putin walk away from negotiations. Finally

it felt like only a matter of time. Our computers, phones, and watches can already do just about

everything. And now, glasses. Apple is reportedly gearing up to launch smart glasses by the end of

2026. According to Bloomberg, the company is leaning hard into AI with glasses that come

loaded with cameras, microphones, and speakers designed to yze the world around you. And yes

they will be linked to Siri. So you'll be able to make phone calls, play music

and get turn-by-turn directions, all hands-free, straight from your face. Basically, you'll be the boss of your glasses

Apple's move is seen as an answer to Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses

which are already gaining traction in the market. Wow. Can you imagine something like this, right

Hello? Pizza, fringale, pepperoni, mushrooms? Well, didn't quite work, but at least I can see the teleprompter better
