President Trump is calling off meetings with Iranian officials as deadly protests continue in the country. In a Truth Social post, Trump told Iranians "help is on its way" and to "keep protesting." The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency has reported around two-thousand people have died in the protests. Iran is poised sometime today to hang the first protester allegedly involved in the movement.        Several federal prosecutors in Minnesota are resigning after the fatal shooting in Minneapolis last week involving an ICE agent. According to multiple reports, six prosecutors have left their posts so far. This as the Trump administration is reportedly pushing for the investigation into the shooting to focus on the widow of Renee Good.        An autoworker at a Michigan Ford plant is being suspended for heckling President Trump during his visit on Tuesday. The President was touring Ford's River Rouge complex in Dearborn when 40-year-old TJ Sabula yelled out that Trump was a "pedophile protector." A viral video of the incident shows Trump extending his middle finger after hearing the comment.        There's encouraging news for cancer patients. According to the American Cancer Society's annual report on cancer facts and trends, seven in ten people now survive their cancer five-years or more, up from only half in the mid-70s. The lead author of the report, Rebecca Siegel, credits the victory largely to decades of cancer research        Three New York City nurses claim they were unlawfully fired just before the biggest nurses strike in city history. At a protest outside Mount Sinai Hospital in East Harlem, the trio claimed they were terminated over union activity nine hours before the strike began. Mount Sinai is accusing them of "deliberately sabotaging" emergency preparedness drills.        Five-time major-winner Brooks Koepka [[ Kep-kuh ]] is returning to the PGA Tour. The Tour's board of directors voted last week to approve the Returning Member Program. It allows LIV golfers who have won a major or the Players Championship and have been off the Tour for over two years, to be reinstated with certain conditions and financial penalties.
