Candidates Battle for Tennessee's 7th Congressional District Amid National Stakes

Eugene Hasenfus, largely known for his involvement in the Iran-Contra affair, where he was captured after his CIA-backed plane was shot down in Nicaragua in 1986, passed away on November 26 at the age of 84. Born in 1941, Hasenfus served in the Vietnam War before becoming a pivotal figure in a scandal that involved illegal arms deals. After his capture, he revealed CIA connections to his mission, prompting congressional investigations. Although he was convicted in Nicaragua, he was pardoned shortly thereafter. In recent years, Hasenfus had faced personal legal issues, but he is remembered as a significant player in Cold War-era politics. He leaves behind four children and eight grandchildren.

Costco has initiated a lawsuit against the Trump administration, aiming to reclaim import duties if the Supreme Court rules against the legitimacy of tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The retailer argues that previous court rulings have already deemed these tariffs unlawful, and the lawsuit seeks protection for its rights to refunds as the Supreme Court hears the case. With trade data indicating over $90 billion in tariffs collected, Costco's legal challenge underscores broader concerns about executive overreach and its economic implications.
