Also: the elderly women who find happiness diving into a murky lake looking for trash, and the new research which suggests watching too much TikTok on the toilet is bad for the bowels.

Lawmakers across the aisle pulled no punches in the fiery hearing with RFK Jr. Senators grill Trump's nominee for Fed.
CBS News Correspondent Jennifer Keiper with tonight's World News Roundup.
“World War II was a brilliant work of American strategy, productivity, and courage and sacrifice. And the result was we destroyed the greatest threat to mankind, and we did it as economically as we could in American cost and lives,” Victor Davis Hanson says.
He also addresses why the U.S. allied with the Soviet Union during the war:
"We fought World War II and won the war, and we came away with losing very few soldiers.
At the end of the war, the Soviet Union had no intention … of honoring their commitments made both at Yalta and then before the Japanese theater had ended at Potsdam.
“But nevertheless, when the war was over, the United States was the preeminent power in the world—except for Britain—had lost fewer combatants than any of the major three allies, Britain, the United States, Russia, and China as well, and had lost fewer than Japan and Germany.
“So, we fought that war very economically by giving material aid to the Soviet Union, who used their manpower and lost 20 million people to kill three out of every four German soldiers.
“That's not an argument that you like the Soviet Union. I detest the Soviet Union. But it's an argument that in the ability of the United States to defeat Germany in 1941, it was a wise military strategy to use a third party to kill the German army, kill it off, and that's what happened, it was a success."
