President Trump claims deaths in the Russia-Ukraine war are under-reported. Speaking from the White House with the Irish Prime Minister, Trump once again said the war "never would have started" if he were President the last four years. Trump added "two-thousand people a week" are dying in the war and it has to end. 
SpaceX is scrubbing tonight's launch to the International Space Station. A four person crew was scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral Wednesday evening, but the mission was aborted about an hour before takeoff. The crew would have replaced two astronauts who have been aboard the ISS for over nine months. The Vatican is encouraged after the results of the pope's chest x-rays. An update from the Holy See Press Office says x-rays taken on Wednesday "radiologically confirmed" Pope Francis' condition has improved. The pontiff's condition remains stable as he receives high-flow oxygen therapy during the day and non-invasive mechanical ventilation at night. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says Democrats have the needed votes to block a Republican spending bill. This comes as Friday's deadline to avoid a government shutdown looms. The bill narrowly passed in the House yesterday by a vote of 217-to-213. Pro-Palestinian Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil will remain in jail. Manhattan Federal Judge Jesse Furman has ruled that Khalil will remain held in Louisiana while he weighs further arguments in the deportation case. Khalil, a green card holder, was arrested at his Columbia-owned apartment Saturday night by ICE agents. A measles outbreak that started in West Texas has now spread to two other states. The latest cases are in neighboring Oklahoma. The health department says they have identified two patients.
