This is a quick roundup of some of the more notable recent news stories covering U.S. politics:

Trump suspends Iran attack for two weeks, subject to Hormuz Strait opening (CNBC)

President Trump said he will pause planned attacks on Iran for two weeks, conditional on Iran immediately reopening the Strait of Hormuz following discussions with Pakistani leaders.

Gas Prices Are Americans’ Top Concern in Iran War (Pew Research Center)

Americans are most concerned that the Iran war will lead to higher gas prices, though many also worry about troop deployment, casualties, terrorism, and the conflict spreading. Public opinion is divided on how the U.S. is handling civilian casualties and on the war’s impact on Iran, with strong partisan differences shaping these views. Confidence in Trump’s ability to manage Iran policy is low overall and has declined across both parties.

Republicans silent as Democrats call on US cabinet to oust Trump over Iran (The Guardian)

Democrats are increasingly calling for Donald Trump’s removal via the 25th Amendment, citing his aggressive rhetoric toward Iran and questioning his mental fitness, while most Republicans remain silent or supportive. The controversy highlights deep partisan divides, with critics warning of dangerous decision-making and supporters dismissing concerns or defending his behavior. Despite the escalating criticism - including from some former allies - the likelihood of action against Trump remains extremely low due to strong loyalty within his cabinet and party.

How the House GOP majority will be affected by Tuesday’s special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s old seat (CNN)

A closely watched runoff in a heavily Republican Georgia district pits Democrat Shawn Harris against Republican Clay Fuller to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene, with national attention due to the GOP’s slim House majority. Harris has strong fundraising and backing from prominent Democrats but remains a long-shot in the conservative district despite a competitive first round. The outcome could have significant implications for House control, especially alongside an expected Democratic gain in an upcoming New Jersey special election.

DeSantis signs bill allowing Florida to label groups as domestic terror organizations (The Hill)

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law allowing state officials to designate domestic terrorist organizations and penalize groups or individuals who support them, including dissolving student organizations and expelling students. The law targets public universities and includes consequences like loss of funding and criminal penalties for “material support.” Critics have raised constitutional concerns, especially around free speech, as similar past actions by DeSantis have already faced legal challenges.
