Good morning — here’s what’s moving as we head into the weekend.

• War powers and public opinion: President Trump formally told Congress that U.S. “hostilities against Iran ended last month,” a move that lets the White House skirt the 60‑day War Powers deadline for authorization [1]. Even as the administration seeks to close the chapter, a new Washington Post survey finds the Iran war’s unpopularity now rivals Iraq and Vietnam‑era disapproval, underscoring the political and human toll of the months‑long campaign [2].

  
  
  
  

• WHCD shooting probe: Prosecutors released new video showing moments before the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, providing additional context as investigators piece together the timeline of the attack near the high‑profile event [3].

• Camp Mystic stands down: Camp Mystic — the Texas Christian girls camp where last July’s floods killed 27 campers and counselors — has withdrawn its application to reopen this summer amid pressure from state leaders and victims’ families, with criminal and civil investigations still underway [4].

• Caribbean election note: Antigua and Barbuda’s Prime Minister Gaston Browne secured a fourth term, a contest shaped in part by the fallout from U.S. visa policy shifts that became a domestic flash point [5].

• Corporate crime verdict: In the U.K., Superdry cofounder James Holder was convicted of rape following a night of drinking — a stunning downfall for the British fashion entrepreneur and a case that drew wide attention across the business and style worlds [6].

• Sports labor breakthrough: The United Soccer League and its players’ union reached a tentative collective bargaining agreement, a milestone for the fast‑growing U.S. lower‑division leagues that could reshape pay and working conditions if ratified [7].

• Markets and money: Big Tech continues to pour cash into AI while oil prices grind higher, a one‑two punch still reverberating through earnings season and consumers’ wallets, according to Reuters’ Week in Numbers snapshot [8].
