::THE SLICE REPORT WITH MONA AUSTIN

 Late Tuesday, ahead of a scheduled catastrophe, Pres. Donald Trump called off the bombardment of Iran and agreed to a two-week ceasefire. He'd threatened to use a level of force strong enough to destroy Iranian "civilization" using language and tone unheard of from past U.S. leaders or high-powered Christians. A 10-day ultimatum ended today. Trump said in a statement he was cooperating with a request from Pakistani negotiators. He said he received a workable 10-point plan from Iran and will work to finalize it over the next two weeks if Tehran agreed and the Straight of Hormuz was re-opened. According to the Associated Press, Egyptian, Pakistani and Turkish mediators had sent Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff a proposal calling for a 45-day ceasefire and the reopening of the strait that was rejected. The Pentagon is expected to provide updated details Wednesday morning.

(TSN) — A political clash is intensifying in Virginia ahead of the April 21 redistricting referendum, as civil rights leaders accuse a Republican-aligned group of misleading voters. At the center of the controversy is the Justice for Democracy PAC, a group opposing the referendum, which has circulated mailers urging Virginians to vote “no.” The campaign has drawn sharp criticism from the NAACP Virginia State Conference , which says the messaging distorts history and manipulates civil rights imagery. Speaking at Maggie L. Walker Memorial Plaza in Richmond, NAACP leaders denounced what they called a coordinated misinformation effort targeting Black voters. “On this April Fool’s Day, don’t be fooled into voting ‘no,’” said Gaylene Kanoyton, political action chair for the state NAACP.
