Capitol Gun Arrest; Cruise Line Halts Operations

In other news, Canadian border officials seized nearly 600 pounds of suspected methamphetamine at the U.S.-Canada border earlier this month, as announced on Tuesday. The incident occurred on February 4, 2026, and involved a 29-year-old Canadian national, Kulbir Singh, who was allegedly driving the drugs into Canada from the U.S., according to the Canada Border Services Agency.

Meanwhile, a longtime Alaska-based cruise line ceased operations, canceling future sailings and disrupting planned vacations, according to reports. The cruise company's abrupt halt left travelers in limbo.

Additionally, Congress largely rejected President Trump's proposed budget cuts for the fiscal year, leaving intact a vast set of federal programs, according to a report in the New York Times. Shortly after returning to office, Trump had unveiled a budget proposing some of the steepest spending reductions in U.S. history. However, lawmakers have largely brushed off the proposed cuts.

In a separate incident, a suspect in a Rhode Island ice rink shooting had posted on X about going "BERSERK" the day before the attack, according to Fox News. The suspect, Robert Dorgan, 56, appeared agitated after an actor's post on X. The shooting resulted in two deaths and three injuries, according to authorities.
