Today’s edition of quick hits.

* The United Kingdom will soon have its fifth prime minister in four years: “British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Monday he will resign, forced out by his own party after missteps and mistakes soured voters’ goodwill following a landslide election victory two years ago on a promise of steady leadership and economic growth.”

* A significant economic boost for Tehran: “The U.S. Treasury has suspended restrictions on the sale, production and delivery of Iranian oil for 60 days, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a short time ago.”

* Adding to the list of deadly boat strikes: “The U.S. military attacked a boat accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Thursday, killing three people, as the Trump administration wages a monthslong campaign against alleged traffickers in Latin America.”

* No one benefits from regressive steps like these: “The Trump administration has decided to start phasing out HIV funding for South Africa following the country’s ‘failure to make demonstrable progress on policy requests by the administration,’ a State Department official told Politico on Thursday.”

* The right call: “A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from using a database of Americans’ Social Security numbers and citizenship status, saying the administration has knowingly given inaccurate data to states that are now ‘actively’ and ‘haphazardly’ purging purported non-citizens from voter rolls.”

* CFPB staffers prevail: “A federal appeals court on Friday blocked the Trump administration’s plans to immediately slash the workforce at the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection ​Bureau by about two-thirds, delivering a setback to the White House’s protracted ‌efforts to shrink the consumer watchdog. The order from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit came in response to a revised plan the Justice Department submitted ​in late March following repeated legal defeats over its plans to decimate ​if not eliminate the CFPB.”

* The end of an error: “Companies hired by the state to operate the Florida immigration facility known as ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ were notified Monday morning to begin ‘full demobilization’ of the facility, quietly bringing an ignominious close a $1.2 billion experiment that had once been hailed by Governor Ron DeSantis and President Donald Trump as a model other states should pursue, four sources familiar with the operations of the detention center told CBS News Miami.”
