A SpaceX rocket is on the way to the International Space Station with four new crewmembers. The rocket is scheduled to dock at the ISS around 11:30 PM Saturday, clearing the way for NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore to return to Earth. Weather permitting, Williams, Wilmore and two Russian cosmonauts will depart the space station on Wednesday. 
Russian President Vladimir Putin is laying out some conditions before he'll agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine. A U.S.-negotiated 30-day cessation of hostilities is on the table more than three years since Russia launched a full scale invasion of its neighbor. Speaking at a news conference Thursday, Putin said Russia supports the idea of a ceasefire but he wants Ukrainian troops in the Russian territory of Kursk to surrender. The Senate has approved a stopgap funding bill to keep the government from shutting down. The final vote was 54 to 46, with two Democrats joining Republicans to pass the bill. The legislation will keep the government funded through September 30th. A judge is denying temporary relief to people challenging President Trump's efforts to hold migrants at Guantanamo Bay. There are currently two lawsuits against the Trump administration which argue migrants would face irreparable harm if they're transferred to the notorious prison. Lawyers asked a judge to grant temporary injunctive relief, but the judge declined, saying they failed to provide enough evidence to back up their claims. Another person who participated in pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University has been arrested by federal immigration officials. The Department of Homeland Security announced Friday that Leqaa Kordia was taken into custody for overstaying her student visa. Her arrest comes almost a week after the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil. Star receiver Cooper Kupp is reportedly signing with the Seattle Seahawks. Multiple outlets say the former Super Bowl MVP got a three-year deal worth 15-million dollars a year. Kupp was released by the Los Angeles Rams on Monday. New music is on the way from Morgan Wallen. The singer announced Friday that his upcoming album, "I'm The Problem," is "officially done." Wallen also shared a teaser of a new song and said to expect more news next week.
