Libya remains fractured since the 2011 uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi, with rival administrations and armed factions competing for power.
A protest against Libya's Government of National Unity took place in Tripoli on May 16. Senior officials, including the deputy prime minister and several ministers, resigned after the killing of a senior commander in the Stability Support Apparatus in a clash with a militia loyal to the prime minister.

Secret Service pays a visit to James Comey about the '8647' seashell threat
The U.S. Secret Service reportedly paid a visit to former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey over an image he posted on social media that many took as a threat against the president.
Secret Service agents escorted Comey to their Washington field office in Washington, D.C., on Friday for an interview, according to law enforcement sources who spoke to CNN. Comey was questioned about allegations that a message reading "8647" was a call for violence against President Donald Trump, the 47th president of the U.S.
'We are aware of the social media posts by the former FBI director, and we take rhetoric like this very seriously.'
Comey posted the image of a number of seashells arranged to spell "8647" on Thursday, but he later deleted the post and claimed that he did not intend to advocate for any political violence.
The former FBI director appeared voluntarily for the interview and was not in custody, according to the CNN report.
Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi released a statement about the incident.
“The Secret Service vigorously investigates anything that can be taken as a potential threat against our protectees,” said Guglielmi to CNN. “We are aware of the social media posts by the former FBI director, and we take rhetoric like this very seriously. Beyond that, we do not comment on protective intelligence matters.”
Department of Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem and current FBI Director Kash Patel issued statements saying that the Comey seashell threat would be investigated.
The president also lambasted Comey in a comment on Fox News.
"He knew exactly what that meant. A child knows what that meant. If you're the FBI director and you don't know what that meant? That meant assassination," said Trump to Bret Baier.
"And it says it loud and clear," Trump added. "Now, he wasn't very competent, but he was competent enough to know what that meant, and he did it for a reason. And he was hit so hard because people like me, and they like what's happening with our country. Our country's become respected again. And he's calling for the assassination of the president."
The term "86" has been in use for more than a century and could refer to the action of taking something off of a menu at a restaurant, but more recently it has also included killing something or someone.

It's perfect. I'm not telling anyone to manufacture more computers. I'm telling the used market: you rock, keep it up.
And I get an OLED display.

How Higher Inflation and Tariffs Impact Your Wallet
Hey everyone, it’s been a week with some pretty significant economic news, and honestly, some of it feels like a bit of a gut punch. Last night on the CBS Evening News, they highlighted a really concerning report: most Americans aren’t earning enough to truly afford a basic quality of life.
Think about that for a second. This isn’t just about scraping by for food and rent anymore. This report factored in things we all rely on, like technology for work and school, healthcare costs, and even childcare. And the bottom 60% of households? It’s out of reach for them. That’s a huge chunk of our country.
Then, adding to the picture, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell was talking about a potential new economic landscape with higher inflation risks. What does that translate to? Well, it likely means interest rates could stay higher for longer.
To help us make sense of all this, CBS brought in Clare Jones, the U.S. Economics Editor for the Financial Times, and she laid it out pretty clearly.
Clare pointed out that Powell’s remarks really show how much things have shifted. Remember not that long ago when the big worry was too little inflation? Now, the Fed is preparing for the possibility of too much. We’ve already seen how recent price hikes have squeezed our wallets, and higher interest rates are likely to keep that pressure on. Say goodbye to those super low interest rates we saw after the 2008 crisis and during the early pandemic days.
So, is this the start of a slippery slope towards a weaker economy, maybe even a recession? It’s the question on everyone’s mind, right?
Clare offered a little bit of a silver lining, mentioning some recent high-level talks between the US and China that led to a significant drop in tariffs on Chinese goods – from a whopping 145% down to 30%. That’s definitely a positive step and should offer some relief.
However, she also cautioned that we’re likely still looking at higher prices and slower economic growth in the coming months. A big part of that is the lingering impact of the tariffs and trade policies from the previous administration.
We even heard how major players like Walmart are expecting to raise prices later this month specifically because of these tariffs. Think about what that means for families already struggling to afford the essentials. As Clare put it, “It’s bad news.”
And it’s not just the big corporations feeling it. Small businesses are echoing these concerns. While the tariff reduction is better, 30% is still a significant cost that will likely be passed on to us, the consumers.
Here’s the kicker: this tariff reduction is only a 90-day pause. So, there’s still a huge cloud of uncertainty hanging over businesses and our everyday spending.
Clare’s final assessment was pretty blunt: “Frankly, we’re still in a worse position than we were at the start of the year. The outlook isn’t a total disaster, but it’s not looking particularly hopeful either.”
It’s a reality check, for sure. It feels like we’re all navigating a tougher economic landscape right now, and these insights from the CBS Evening News and Clare Jones really highlight the challenges many of us are facing. Let’s hope those talks and the tariff adjustments lead to more positive changes down the road.
What are your thoughts on all this? How are you feeling the impact of these economic shifts? Let’s chat in the comments below.
