Good Morning! On this day in 1965, astronaut Edward H. White became the first American to walk in space during the Gemini 4 mission. Watch the historic footage here.

Most of us struggle to recall anything from before age 3 or 4—but that doesn’t mean those moments are gone. As we report below, scientists believe our infant brains do record early experiences; we just lose access to them over time. What’s the earliest memory you can conjure? Hit reply and let us know.

Later today, we will email you on behalf of our partner, Legion M, with an investment opportunity in the world’s first fan-owned movie studio.

We’re excited to welcome new advertiser Raisin, the banking platform helping you find the best savings rates so your money can actually work for you.

Illegal Immigrant Charged in Boulder Attack

Mohamed Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national living illegally in the U.S., has been charged with federal hate crimes and 16 counts of attempted murder after attacking a pro-Israel group in Boulder, Colorado, with Molotov cocktails on Sunday.

Disguised as a gardener, Soliman threw two incendiary devices—planning to use 18—at the group, which included an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor, while shouting “Free Palestine,” according to officials.

He told authorities he’d planned the attack for a year, researched bomb-making online, and hoped to die during the assault, which he livestreamed.

The incident drew condemnation from President Trump, who blamed Biden’s immigration policy for allowing Soliman to remain in the U.S.

Ukraine, Russia End Talks With POW Deal Only

Peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul ended in just over an hour Monday with no ceasefire deal, only a prisoner exchange for sick and young detainees.

The meeting came on the heels of a surprise Ukrainian drone strike that destroyed more than 40 Russian aircraft, including nuclear-capable bombers, catching the Trump administration off guard.

President Trump, who has criticized both Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, warned that Putin is “playing with fire” and said Russia risks consequences if it keeps stonewalling negotiations.

Tourists Flee as Mount Etna Erupts in Sicily

Sicily’s Mount Etna, Europe’s tallest and most active volcano, erupted early Monday, spewing a massive plume of ash and smoke several miles high.

The eruption, caused by a partial collapse of the southeast crater’s northern flank, triggered a fast-moving avalanche of hot ash, gas, and rock.

Lava fountains and flows followed, but the activity remained confined to the summit area, posing no immediate danger to nearby populations. Tourists shared footage of fleeing down the volcano’s slopes as a massive ash cloud loomed behind them.

By midday, the ash cloud emission had subsided, and the aviation alert was downgraded from red to orange, with minimal disruption to Catania’s airport.
