BREAKING: President Trump just announced on Truth Social that he has cancelled the trip of his representatives to Islamabad, Pakistan to meet with the Iranians.The envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, had been set to travel to Pakistan for a second round of direct talks aimed at ending the U.S.-Iran war and shoring up the fragile April 7 ceasefire. President Trump pulled the plug, citing “tremendous infighting and confusion” within Iran’s leadership and saying nobody knows who is in charge, “including them.”“We have all the cards, they have none,” President Trump wrote. “If they want to talk, all they have to do is call!!!”The cancellation comes after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi already left Islamabad following an overnight meeting with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. Iran’s foreign ministry had publicly denied any U.S. meeting was planned.President Trump told Fox News he saw “no point of sending them on an 18-hour flight” and said the same work could be done by phone. Vice President JD Vance, who led the first round of talks on April 12, remains on standby.The first round of negotiations ended without a deal. The ceasefire has held since April 7 but remains under heavy strain over the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. naval blockade, and new Treasury sanctions targeting Chinese refineries buying Iranian crude. ...

Project Response Premieres New Mission Video at Cocoa Village PlayhouseLast night at the Cocoa Village Playhouse, Project Response premiered a new mission video chronicling 35 years of HIV care on Florida's Space Coast. The film traces the Melbourne-based wellness center from its 1990 origins, when a small group of friends started caring for the dying out of a private dining room because the local health department would not enter the homes of people with AIDS, to its current operations as one of the most comprehensive HIV care organizations in the State of Florida.The video was produced by Indian Harbour Beach-based Cowbell Agency as a LEAD Brevard Community Acceleration Project, with narration by Adam Latham, Managing Partner and Creative Director at Cowbell Agency. The premiere was free and open to the public.The film does not just look backward. It puts a spotlight on the funding crisis threatening to unravel the safety net right now: Florida slashed ADAP eligibility from 400% to 130% of the federal poverty level effective March 1, marketplace insurance premiums spiked 34%, and federal pressure on the 340B drug pricing program is squeezing roughly 80% of Project Response's operating revenue.Brevard County is officially designated by the federal government as a medically underserved area, and Project Response is one of the only places in the county providing comprehensive HIV care, prevention, food assistance, housing help, and case management under one roof.Read our full coverage at TheSpaceCoastRocket.com.thespacecoastrocket.com/project-response-mission-video-cocoa-village-playhouse/ ...
