The Croissant Club is back with ramen croissants, mozz-filled pastries and more
This year we've happily welcomed all manner of carb to the city, waistlines be damned. The winter brought a second location of Radio Bakery to Brooklyn, drawing hour-long lines in Prospect Heights, while people flocked to the East Village for the cinnamon-bun-only shop, Sunday Morning. Spring ushered in glossy ube doughnuts from online bakeshop turned brick-and-mortar Kora, while the burekas-only destination Buba Bureka generated buzz in Greenwich Village. And while not new, one of our favorite bakeries is now bringing back its croissants-only club, giving us plenty reason to celebrate. Raf's Croissant Club is officially back for spring and summer 2025, and for its latest installment, the restaurant's pastry chef Camari Mick has teamed up with chefs from around the country to create croissants that merge their respective cultures and bold flavors into one exciting dish. From now until August, these creative pastries will drop every week, only available at Raf's (290 Elizabeth St). And just like last year, Mick has invited serious talent to the kitchen.

Don Bacon on Trump Tariffs Power: 'Constitution Is Clear'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. U.S. House Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) pointed to the Constitution for the answer on the question of President Donald Trump's power to impose tariffs: He doesn't. Trump is facing a battle in the courts over his use of national emergency powers to implement many of his tariffs on American trading partners across the world. A federal trade court ruled he did not, but an appeals court has allowed the tariffs to remain in place temporarily as the issue works through the legal process. "Article One Section Eight gives Congress the power over taxes and tariffs. The Constitution is clear," Bacon, a rare Republican critic of Trump, posted to X. Another X user replied to say the 1934 Reciprocal Tariff Act delegated that power to the president when there is a national emergency. Trump had declared an emergency over trade imbalances, saying they threatened national security and the domestic economy, so he could impose the tariffs. "Courts just ruled on your emergency. It doesn't convince folks," Bacon replied. The White House has accused "unelected judges" of treading on Trump's presidential powers and democratic mandate. This is a developing article.

Republican congressman says Ukraine must be armed to the teeth and Russian assets confiscated
Republican Representative Don Bacon, a moderate member of the US House of Representatives, has rejected the idea of peace talks with Russia following Moscow's large-scale weekend attacks on Ukraine and called for decisive action. Source: Bacon on X (Twitter), as reported by European Pravda Details: Bacon, known for his pro-Ukraine stance, was commenting on reports regarding the number of drones and missiles Russia used to attack Ukraine on the nights of 23-24 and 24-25 May. "It is a time for honesty. Peace talks are having zero effect on Putin," Bacon emphasised. He stated that the Kremlin is continuing its aggression with the aim of subjugating Ukraine and will not stop until it encounters firm resistance. "His [Putin's – ed.] goal is to dominate Ukraine & he won't stop until he realises he cannot win," the congressman added. He urged the United States and its allies to act resolutely: "The US & Allies must arm Ukraine to the teeth, sanction Russia to the max, & confiscate the US$300 billion in overseas Russian assets". Background: Bacon is one of the most consistent supporters of Ukraine among US lawmakers. In March 2025, he posted an article in The New York Times criticising what he called the Trump administration's overly soft stance on Russia. On 25 May, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the international community, particularly the US, to speak out and increase pressure on the Kremlin. EU Ambassador to Ukraine Katarína Mathernová said Russia is laughing at the world and mocking US attempts to broker peace. Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna has also called for "unbearable pressure" on Putin after the latest airstrike. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!

Kevin Bacon Gets Disappointing Career News
Prime Video released the -led horror series The Bondsman just over a month ago and has already canceled it, according to Deadline. The official show description explains that Bacon plays "Hub Halloran, a murdered bounty hunter, is back from the dead after being resurrected by the Devil to trap and send back demons that have escaped from the prison of Hell; by chasing them down, Hub learns how his own sins got his soul condemned." All eight of the first season episodes dropped on Prime Video on April 3 after premiering at SXSW a month earlier. Initially, there were high hopes for this series after it started with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 100 percent (which later dropped to 83 percent). Even on Prime Video, The Bondsman started strong with the series landing in the Nielsen Top 10 streaming rankings at number 9 in its first week. Despite dropping off in the second week, Bacon's latest series is still listed as No. 5 in television shows on Prime Video. The disappointing news didn't seem to bother Bacon much. On the same day the cancellation of his show was announced, the 66-year-old actor shared a video on Instagram and didn't mention the end of the series. Instead, he showed a makeup artist adding his character, Hub Halloran's scars and tattoos—which must be done each day before filming begins. There's plenty more on the horizon for Bacon, who stars alongside his wife, , in the movie, The Best You Can, which is set for a June 7 release. He also plays Peter in the five-part mini-series Sirens, coming out on May 22. on Netflix.

Prime Video's No. 1 show starring Kevin Bacon has been cancelled after one season
Even reaching the No. 1 spot isn't enough to keep a show off the chopping block these days. Prime Video has pulled the plug on "The Bondsman," its new supernatural action drama starring Kevin Bacon, after just one season, TVLine confirmed this week. The show dethroned "Reacher" in the streamer's top 10 list when all eight episodes of season 1 debuted on April 3. It's remained there ever since, though it's dropped to the No. 2 spot in the U.S. after "Reacher" reclaimed its throne. Now, a little over a month after its premiere, Prime Video has revealed it's opted not to proceed with a second season. The series from Blumhouse Television stars Bacon as Hub Halloran, a washed-up bounty hunter murdered on the job only to be resurrected by the Devil himself to hunt down demons who have escaped Hell. Tracking down Hell's fugitives is a bloody task, but it's his only shot at redemption. As the hunt continues, he must face estranged family, long-buried secrets, and the messy legacy of his time among the living. Threaded throughout is the familiar twang of country music, and the show comes by it honestly: Hub and his ex-wife (Jennifer Nettles) were once a hit duo before things soured. Fans have been calling "The Bondsman" one of Bacon's most entertaining roles in years. He's joined by an all-star ensemble that includes Jolene Purdy ("The White Lotus"), Beth Grant ("The Mindy Project"), Maxwell Jenkins ("Lost in Space") and Damon Herriman ("Justified"). I've been meaning to check it out since it sounds cut from the same cloth as one of my favorite guilty pleasure movie series, "R.I.P.D." Reading my colleague Alix Blackburn's assessment of "The Bondsman" had me sold when she called it "part horror, part dark comedy, part Southern Gothic fever dream, and somehow, it works." She's far from the only one who enjoyed Prime Video's latest supernatural outing. Season 1 earned a respectable 83% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, and audiences gave it a similarly solid 77% rating. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Reviews alone weren't enough to convince Prime Video to order up a second season, though. Exactly why Amazon pulled the plug remains unclear, but considering how many people are still tuning in, I'm sure many will be disheartened to learn there won't be more once they finish binge-watching the first season. C'est la vie in this era of streaming we're in.
