@americauncoveredofc: Aug 17, 2026 - Here's part two of everything happening in America today. The U.S. Supreme Court once again rejected President Trump's bid to overturn the roughly $5.6 million judgment a New York jury awarded to writer E. Jean Carroll, marking his last possible appeal in the case. Sailors aboard the USS Benfold, a guided-missile destroyer patrolling the South China Sea, spent four days without working toilets, running water, hot meals, or air conditioning after a total power failure, even as President Trump continues downplaying concerns about conditions for troops deployed overseas. A shooting broke out at Virginia State University just hours after freshman orientation events, with authorities responding and an investigation now underway. A federal judge blocked Idaho from prosecuting doctors who provide life-saving abortions, delivering a win for reproductive rights advocates in one of the states with the strictest abortion laws in the country. President Trump welcomed 16-year-old lifeguard Ryder Williams to the Oval Office today, honoring him with a "High Civilian Honor" for saving 10-year-old Nathaniel Rai from dangerous surf in Santa Cruz last month, telling him "what you did was incredible and everybody saw it." #usnews #trump #newsupdate #usa🇺🇸 #usanews
