U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner met with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin on Tuesday to present a revised 19-point peace plan that Ukrainian officials tentatively agreed to after weekend talks in Florida. The White House said it was "very optimistic" about the high-stakes meeting, which comes after two weeks of intense diplomacy around President Trump's proposal to end the nearly four-year war. Prior to the meeting, Putin warned that Russia is "ready right now" to fight if Europe seeks war, accusing European leaders of trying to sabotage peace talks by demanding changes to President Trump's proposal. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he expects to hear from Witkoff and Kushner immediately after their Putin meeting, with the U.S. envoys expected to brief him in Europe on Wednesday. | Dells Pledge $6.25B to Kid Savings Accounts Michael Dell and his wife, Susan Dell, pledged $6.25 billion to seed new investment accounts, known as Trump Accounts, for roughly 25 million American children. Under the plan, Treasury will deposit $1,000 into accounts for children born between 2025 and 2028. The Dells' donation provides $250 for children 10 and under, targeting those who won't receive government seed money, especially in ZIP codes with a median family income of $150,000 or less. Parents, relatives, employers, or nonprofits can contribute up to $5,000 per year starting July 2026, with money invested in index funds. When beneficiaries turn 18, funds can be used for education, buying a home, or starting a business. The Dells called the move "a simple yet very powerful idea," encouraging other donors and businesses to join in as well.

The flare disrupted radio communications across Australia and parts of Southeast Asia and was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection that could impact power grids, navigation signals, and radio systems. The agency says the timing of the disruption remains uncertain, and the storm could arrive as early as today, with additional activity possible as sunspot AR4299 rotates to face Earth this week.

Consider Abraham's story.
Inside a Nigerian prison, he replayed the moment his life collapsed. What began as a dream marriage ended in betrayal when his wife revealed a pregnancy that wasn't his. Rage overtook him, and in one tragic instant, he pushed her — costing the life of her child and landing him in prison. At first, Abraham was consumed by anger and guilt. Then he joined one of Prison Fellowship International's transformative in-prison programs, where he learned the ripple effect of crime and the power of forgiveness. Today, he admits, "I was the reason you lost your child. Please forgive me." For the first time, redemption feels possible. | |  | | ➤ Ohio State was ranked No. 1 in this week's College Football Playoff Rankings, followed in order by Indiana, Georgia, and Texas Tech—all of which would receive first-round byes if the season ended today.
