President Trump on Monday signed a pair of executive orders targeting both cashless bail and flag burning, as part of a broader federal crime initiative focused on Washington, D.C., and other cities. The orders direct the Justice Department to penalize jurisdictions that use cashless bail and to investigate instances of flag desecration. Currently, flag burning is protected as free speech under the First Amendment, following a 1989 Supreme Court ruling, but Trump said he wants it to carry a minimum one-year jail sentence. The administration also announced plans to expand federal custody for suspects in D.C. and increase the number of federal law enforcement personnel. | US Fighters Intercept Russian Aircraft Off Alaska A Russian surveillance aircraft was intercepted near Alaska on Sunday, marking the third such incident in the past week, U.S. officials said. The plane entered the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone but remained in international airspace and did not cross into U.S. or Canadian territory. Over the past week, American F-16 fighters have been dispatched twice, once on Aug. 21 and once on Aug. 20, to intercept Russian Il-20 aircraft operating in the Alaska ADIZ. | List: Wedding Costs by State in 2025 A new analysis of more than 4,000 couples spotlights the cost of weddings across the U.S. in 2025, with the average celebration coming in at about $36,000 and Washington, D.C., topping the list at $70,625. New Jersey follows at $57,706, with New York close behind at $53,873, while Alaska remains the least expensive at just $12,500. Venue rentals ($6,500–$12,000) and catering ($6,500–$10,000) are the biggest expenses, though budgets vary widely depending on guest count and location. Nationally, most weddings host an average of 136 guests, and couples are increasingly leaning on savings, credit cards, and cash registry funds to cover rising costs.
