The Bronx-born creator is turning Twitch into primetime TV. Urban City fam, are you tuned in? Shout out your favorite moment or guest in the comments.

We’ll see who’s really watching. Tag us at Urban City Podcast. And in international news, the U.S. Navy sank a Venezuelan vessel in the Southern Caribbean this week, killing 11 alleged members of the Trinidad-Caribbean Cartel.

Officials called it a blow against narco-terrorism, but legal scholars worldwide are questioning whether this strike was lawful under international conventions. And in the Middle East, renewed peace negotiations have led to an extension of the ceasefire and the reopening of humanitarian corridors. Aid groups say this breakthrough offers a fragile but critical lifeline for displaced families.

In the U.S. news, all eyes are on the Federal Reserve as it weighs whether to cut interest rates later this month. Weak job gains and stubborn inflation are testing the central bank’s ability to stabilize the economy. With the Supreme Court also weighing presidential tariff powers, markets are bracing for turbulence.

And Amazon has expanded its drone delivery program from Texas to additional suburban hubs across the U.S. Early customers say it’s fast and efficient, though privacy and safety questions linger. Regulators promise close oversight as the skies get busier. Urban CityFam, do you think the rate cuts are the answer or should the government focus on jobs and wages instead? Also, would you trust a drone to drop medicine or groceries at your doorstep or is that a hard no for you? Tell us what you think at Urban City Podcast.

In state news today, our focus is the state of Idaho. In Boise, city leaders have launched a $50 million affordable housing fund to tackle rising rents. Officials say the initiative will help working families stay in the city and create more stable communities.

Meanwhile, in rural Bingham County, heartbreak struck as a beloved 13-year-old rodeo mini queen from Boise died in a Wyoming plane crash. Her parents and siblings were seriously injured. The community is rallying around the family with vigils and fundraising drives, proving once again that Idaho stands strongest together in times of sorrow.

And events for you to look forward to, so make sure to make it a point to get out and have you some fun this week. In Blackfoot, Idaho, the Eastern Idaho State Fair is drawing thousands with rodeos, concerts, and rides. Fair organizers say this year could be one of the biggest yet.

On the East Coast, Atlantic City’s Seafood Festival transforms batter filled with lobster rolls, oyster shucking contests, and music all weekend long. And in Seattle, Washington, the legendary Bombershoot Festival lights up the Seattle center with music, comedy, and art installations, making it one of the nation’s top cultural gatherings. Urban City Fam, what’s the one food you have to eat at the fair? Funnel cake, corn dogs, or something deep fried and wild? East Coast Fam, what’s your go-to seafood dish? Is it lobster rolls, crab cakes, or oysters on ice? Who’s your favorite festival performer that you’ve seen live? And would you go to Seattle just for Bombershoot?
