Hey there from CNN, I'm Krista Bo Polanco with the five things you need to know from Monday, June 1st.

'The future of the Trump administration's controversial anti-weaponization fund is unclear. Remember, this was a proposed $1.8 billion fund that was meant to compensate people who believe they were unfairly targeted by the Justice Department. The Justice Department said in a statement today it'll comply with a federal court order temporarily blocking the fund's creation, but it stopped short of scrapping the fund entirely. And it's causing major friction among Republicans. Many Senate Republicans have raised concerns that the fund would essentially act as a slush fund for January 6th convicts and Trump allies. And many of them are refusing to move ahead on an immigration enforcement funding bill until their concerns are addressed. Senate Majority Leader John Thune told CNN today he thinks the White House should just shut the fund down. CNN's Kristen Holmes has more on the drama brewing in Washington over this.

We've heard from White House allies, from Trump allies, from administration officials themselves, all saying that they don't believe that this is a good idea, that while they understand the concept behind it, that there have been enormous, because of the enormous amount of pushback, that maybe this wasn't the best time for it. So it appears as though at least some of that messaging has gotten through to President Trump.

'We gotta take a quick break, but more news coming up, including the whiplash diplomacy on the US-Iran peace talks, and some encouraging signs on the Ebola outbreak in central Africa. Plus, we'll tell you which state is the first to sue an AI company. Stick around.

'President Donald Trump says that peace talks with Iran are back on and continue at a, quote, rapid pace. That contradicts what Iranian state media said earlier today about the talks, which is that Iran suspended them over Israel's ongoing strikes in Lebanon. President Trump said in a Truth Social Post that he had a productive call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today, where they agreed Israel wouldn't send any troops into Beirut. The US president also said he spoke with Iran-backed Hezbollah, and they agreed to stop all the fighting if Israel doesn't attack them. Lebanon also said Hezbollah agreed to the U.S. Ceasefire proposal with Israel. However, Netanyahu said in a statement the Israeli military will continue striking southern Lebanon as planned. This is a fast-moving story, so check out cnn.com for the very latest.

Sam Altman and ChatGPT have chosen the AI race over the safety and security of our kids. They have chosen profit over public safety.

'Florida is suing OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, alleging they know chat GPT is not safe, poses serious risks to children, and doesn't have enough parental safeguards in place. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the lawsuit today, making the state the first to sue OpenAI over the alleged dangers of its chatbot. Uthmeier said he expects other states will join his effort. OpenAI said in a statement that it believes minors need significant protection and that it has put in place industry-leading protections and policies. The lawsuit comes over a month after Florida launched a criminal probe into whether OpenAI bears any responsibility for last year's mass shooting at Florida State University. Investigators allege the accused shooter had extensive conversations with ChatGPT in the lead-up to the shooting, including advice on how to use the weapons. At the time, the company pushed back on that assumption, saying the chat bot didn't encourage or promote illegal or harmful activity.

Now to the signs of hope in the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The WHO said four nurses who were treated for Ebola have been recovering and discharged from a hospital and DRC. The agency said a lab worker has also recovered, bringing the total number of people who have recovered from the virus to five. The number of confirmed Ebola cases in the country have increased to 282, with 42 deaths, according to data from the communications ministry. Suspected cases are being investigated outside of Africa, like in Brazil and Italy.

Coming up, a tennis queen is picking up her racket again.

Serena Williams is set to return to the tennis court. Queens Club has confirmed that she will be in the doubles competition at the HSBC Championships next week. CNN's Coy Wire has more.

This is massive. Serena turns 45 in a few months, hasn't played a pro match in years. She lost in singles in the third round of the US Open in 2022 and yet her return instantly sends a jolt of electricity through the tennis world. Who will be her doubles partner? That hasn't been announced yet. Remember, she appeared on an international testing pool list dated from October of 2025. That sparked initial rumors about a potential comeback, but she shot those down by tweeting in December, OMG, y'all, I'm not coming back. Now, one thing is certain, when Serena Williams walks back onto the court, the sporting world will be watching. She's a legend that has the power to bring everything to a standstill.

All right, that's all for now. Thanks so much for listening. I'm Krista Bo Polanco, and our next episode drops at 7 a.m. Eastern. Till next time.
