4: Berlin’s immigration authorities have ordered three EU citizens and one American to leave Germany by April 21 or face deportation following accusations that the four had committed antisemitic acts in support of terrorism. In a joint statement, the four accused Berlin authorities of trying to “silence pro-Palestinian voices.” Officials say the expulsion was connected to protests at Berlin’s Free University during which “a violent, masked group of individuals” caused “significant property damage.”

The United States is ramping up its “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran.

In a letter sent to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in early March, President Donald Trump gave Tehran an ultimatum: reach a new nuclear deal with the US within two months or face direct military action – “bombing the likes of which they have never seen before,” as he told NBC News’ Kristen Welker on Sunday.

The letter proposed mediation by the United Arab Emirates (whose emissaries delivered the missive in question) and expressed Trump’s preference for a diplomatic solution. “I would rather have a peace deal than the other option, but the other option will solve the problem,” the president said.

What was all the fuss for? Republican Randy Finecruised to a 14-point victory over Democrat Josh Weil in Tuesday’s special election for Florida’s 6th Congressional District, quashing the quixotic liberal dream of flipping a seat that US President Donald Trump won by 30 points in the 2024 presidential election. Combined with Jimmy Patronis’ Tuesday triumph in Florida’s 1st District, the GOP increased their House majority to 220-213 — heady days for US Speaker Mike Johnson.

Watch:The Laundromat.” Two legends of comedy who were also gifted young actors. Two greats who died too young. No words. Three minutes and 23 seconds. – Willis

Appreciate: “All Our Ordinary Stories,” by Teresa Wong.This book focuses on the relationship between a daughter and her immigrant parents. It was the first graphic novel I’d read since Art Spiegelman’s “Maus” series, so it’s not a genre I know well. But I was impressed by the simplistic/universalist appearance of the illustrations and words — and how they left room for the reader to fill in the blanks in powerful ways. – Tracy

Consider: the heretic. A new leader comes to power with a radical idea that enrages the old power brokers, upends the establishment, and ends up tearing apart society. In the 17th century BC, the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten was one of the world’s earliest monotheists, professing the cult of one god, the Sun deity Aten, and ordering the closure of all other temples. He ended up deposed and despised. But what made him tick? What made those around him support or oppose him? Egyptian Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz’s beautiful, Rashomon-style novella “Akhenaten, Dweller in Truth” is a series of imagined interviews with Akhenaten’s friends, foes, and, ultimately, his enigmatic, famously beautiful wife Nefertiti. It's an exploration of power, faith, and truth that is as timeless as the sun. – Alex

Finish: “The White Lotus.” The third series of creator Mike White’s hit show is set to climax on Sunday night. The latest rendition, set in Thailand, has had mixed reviews. As usual, the show follows some ultra-elite, amoral holidaymakers who seek a relaxing vacation only to stumble upon a heap of unwelcome and unsettling surprises. The third installment departs from previous seasons, though, in how it promotes cinematography and meme-worthy conversations over plot — to the detriment of the series. Even with the lack of a strong storyline, it will be fascinating to see how White ties together all the loose ends in the finale. – Zac
