During an interview on CBS News, Adams was asked about a possible motive in the shooting. The mayor said that a note was allegedly found stating the shooter felt he had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain injury more commonly known as CTE that some football players have been known to develop. “He appeared to have blamed the NFL for his injury,” Adams said.
North Korea is demanding that the United States recognize it as a permanent nuclear power, according to the latest words of Kim Yo-jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and a senior official in the country’s ruling Workers Party. She was commenting Tuesday through the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on the possibility of renewing diplomatic talks with Washington, and laid out that any future negotiations must begin with a clear acknowledgment of North Korea's "irreversible" status as a nuclear-armed state.
research confirm again and again that an increase in the minimum wage is terrible for the poor. For at least some — perhaps 18,000 in California — it takes away their opportunity to make any money at all. Unfortunately, politicians have an incentive to ignore economic laws in favor of nice-sounding slogans about improving the lives of the least advantaged.
“He stole people who worked for me,” the president continued. “I said don’t ever do that again. He did it again and I threw him out of the place, persona non grata. I threw him out, and that was it,” Trump said. “I’m glad I did if you want to know the truth.” And by the way, I never went to the island, and Bill Clinton went there supposedly 28 times. I never went to the island but Larry Summers I hear went there—he was the head of Harvard.”
Under the scheme, Israel will give Gaza political and militant group Hamas a short deadline for accepting a ceasefire. After Hamas refuses to accept Netanyahu's terms (which will likely be written to guarantee refusal) Israel will start annexing portions of Gaza, starting with the buffer zone it has created along the perimeter of the territory, before proceeding to claim more land in the north. Eventually, all of Gaza will be claimed as Israeli land, fulfilling the wishes of extremist ministers who are vital to Netanyahu's ruling coalition.
Last week, Cincinnati, OH made the national news after video footage went viral of crowds exiting a "black culture" jazz music festival. Marauding groups of the fatigue subset (the usual suspects) attacked at least three unsuspecting white victims as they walked along the bustling business district. One victim was an older man who was stomped and punched repeatedly into the road by multiple assailants. Another victim was a woman who was beaten unconscious.
Some one hundred Ukrainian drones were intercepted by Russian air defenses overnight, which does not suggest a particularly huge attack compared to prior major drone assaults from the last several weeks - but the attack did serve to severely impact annual Russian military observances. Russia significantly scaled-back its annual Navy Day celebrations on Sunday, citing heightened security concerns amid the intensified and ongoing cross-border drone attacks.
China’s mega dam project in Tibet faces major safety and environmental concerns, as it is located in an earthquake-prone, biodiverse region.
‘I am going to make a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today,’ Trump said.
The EPA has crafted a proposal that would undo the government's "endangerment finding", a determination that pollutants from burning fossil fuels, such as carbon dioxide and methane, can be regulated under the Clean Air Act. The finding has long served as the foundation for a host of policies and rules to address climate change. The EPA's proposal to revoke the finding is currently under review by the White House Office of Management and Budget.
The Department of Health and Human Services announced Wednesday that it will fully eliminate thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative, from flu vaccines, following a formal recommendation by a federal advisory panel. The move marks a significant shift in vaccine policy after years of mounting concern over mercury exposure, particularly in children.
A new survey published in the JAMA Network by researchers at Emory University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that an increasing number of pregnant women and new mothers are delaying, or even outright refusing, government-recommended vaccines that hospitals and pediatricians push on newborns and young kids. The findings come just ahead of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s much-anticipated announcement on what the federal agency believes to be the root cause of the autism spike in children ahead of the fall school season.
The slow installation of charging ports has been a ‘vast administrative failure,’ a Democrat lawmaker had said last year.
“People are scared to go out to the shops, scared to let their kids out” He contends that exiting the system would remove legal barriers imposed by foreign judges, and allow the UK to swiftly remove dangerous individuals, free up prison space, reduce taxpayer burdens, and send a strong message that crime by non-citizens will result in certain expulsion.
Over the weekend, I saw this bias unfold in real time. On Friday, a user on Elon Musk’s platform X asked Grok whether more guns make Americans safer. Grok responded flatly: “No, evidence shows more guns correlate with higher firearm homicides and violent crime rates.” The chatbot dismissed self-defense and deterrence, referring to my research –specifically my “more guns, less crime” theory – as something cited by “right-wing advocates.” Grok supported its claims by referencing Scientific American magazine and a RAND Corporation review, saying these sources show guns don’t reduce crime and instead increase violence. Those answers are misleading and wrong.
The Signal plant is considered one of Russia's prime producers of electronic warfare systems, manufacturing items such as radar, radio navigation devices, and remote-control communication systems.
Here are the latest military actions: Thai navy and army repelled Cambodian attacks in Trat province. Thailand deployed F-16 and Gripen jets to strike Cambodian rocket sites. Cambodia accused Thailand of hitting civilian targets—claims Bangkok denies....Thailand, a U.S. treaty ally, has F-16 fighter jets and modern weapons, while Cambodia relies heavily on Chinese military aid.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled July 24 that a California law requiring background checks to buy ammunition violated the Second Amendment.
DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari testified in front of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday. He said 31,000 children were sent to invalid home addresses in the U.S. and that sponsors were not properly vetted before the unaccompanied children were released to them.
Ankara showcases ballistic and missile capabilities similar to those recently used by Israel, Iran and the US...Turkey this week unveiled a range of ballistic missiles and other advanced ordnance at a national arms fair, as the recent Israel-Iran conflict has pushed regional tensions to the brink.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced on July 23 that Republicans would pursue passage of a resolution to form a new subcommittee that would investigate events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach.
A CIA officer was quoted as saying, ‘We don’t have direct information that Putin wanted to get Trump elected.’
“Our instructions were that anything we had was to be used,” the unnamed senior FBI analyst told House investigators. That guidance seems to have originated with President Obama himself.
If all the facts alleged are true, was Obama acting within the scope of his constitutional authority as president? Maybe not but trying to prove that in a court of law in order to overcome the Supreme Court’s holding of his presumptive immunity would be an almost impossible task.
Just last week, reports began to emerge that Russia has unveiled a "new tactic" in their war against Ukraine: swarms of drones "flying at different altitudes, and attacking from all directions" in order to confuse Ukrainian forces and bypass their air defences. A recent air assault on Kyiv was cited as an example. Russia set 400 drones on the Ukrainian capital from every direction to confuse and preoccupy Ukraine's air defence, thus enabling 20 of its ballistic and cruise missiles to slip through.
But that’s not what the Danish scientists did. Instead, they compared children who received vaccines containing aluminum to children who received vaccines with slightly less aluminum. Not only that, but there was only a one-milligram difference between the amount of aluminum in the vaccine doses received by the children in one of the groups compared to those in another group. Comparing children with similar aluminum levels rather than comparing children with low levels of aluminum to children with high levels of the metal further muddled the findings...

Virtually nothing has happened since, other than colossally wasting the people’s money. And not just in California. The project has already soaked up about $3.5 billion of federal funding and was set to gobble up much more. The Trump administration wisely pulled the plug.
At this point it’s clear that any hopes that Trump was going to be a hard-money guy who would rein in monetary inflation was pure wishful thinking. Trump’s preferred monetary policy is demonstrably no different from that of Biden, Obama, or George W. Bush. The “solution” for these politicians is always more easy money, in the form of lower interest rates.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said today the U.S. would not agree to sign over authority in health emergencies “to an unelected international organization that could order lockdowns, travel restrictions or any other measures that it sees fit.” The amendments take effect for all signatories July 19.
A federal judge on Wednesday denied a Department of Justice request to unseal grand jury transcripts related to a mid-2000s criminal investigation into sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has been hit by a sophisticated cyberattack that exploited a previously unknown vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint, and is being widely described by one of the most serious breaches of US defense infrastructure this year. Fingers in the West are pointing to Beijing.

The UNESCO exit comes amid criticism of the agency’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party and longstanding anti-Israel concerns.
“We have referred and will continue to refer all these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate the criminal implications of this,” Gabbard said. “The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment,” she continued. “There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact.”
HHS Secretary RFK Jr. was "on vacation," not looped in on FDA approval of Moderna's COVID-19 mRNA jab for children...Only July 16, White House correspondent and media host Emerald Robinson reported on Twitter/X that FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary “did not inform @RobertKennedyJr (who was on vacation) or his office that FDA was going to approve the mRNA shots for children,” citing sources familiar with the matter.
Distractions such as diversity, equity, and inclusion and political correctness are gone, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said
Ukraine may be behind a covert campaign aimed at disrupting Russia's so-called "shadow fleet". A Financial Times report issued early in July shed light on recent 'mystery' explosions impacting oil tankers which had departed Russian ports prior to their being sabotaged. "A series of mysterious limpet mine attacks on oil tankers has shaken the shipping world, prompting speculation that the explosions were part of a state-backed sabotage campaign,"
Lawmakers supporting the agreement say it adapts to the current political environment.
Former Jeffrey Epstein defense attorney and friend Alan Dershowitz on Sunday called for the federal government to grant immunity to Epstein's convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, calling her the "Rosetta Stone" who "knows everything." He also said little or no meaningful new information is likely to be found in the grand jury transcripts that President Trump has directed to be released.
The defense ministry-produced video constitutes a very rare look inside one of Russia’s main secretive drone assembly plants, which plays a critical role in supplying UAVs for ongoing strikes in Ukraine. Suicide drones connected to the particular plant featured have been deployed literally in the tens of thousands across Ukraine over the course of the war.
On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered his Attorney General Pam Bondi to release files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, including Grand Jury testimony, for which a judge's approval is necessary, however. The move came after more than a week of controversy around the topic and Trump trying to deflect the uproar that would just not die down. Pressure mounted yesterday after the Wall Street Journal published a previously unreleased letter by Trump on the occasion of Epstein's 50th birthday, including the drawing of a naked woman, which Trump has said is fake and is now suing for defamation.
The death toll from a past week of spiraling violence in Syria’s Sweida province, a stronghold of the Druze minority - which also has a presence of Christians - has climbed to 940 since last weekend, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, despite a recent declared ceasefire. Among the dead are 326 Druze fighters and 262 Druze civilians, including 182 reportedly executed on the spot by forces from Syria's Hayat Tahrir al-Sham government fighters.
The slowdown in leftist protests has "coincidentally" occurred at the same time as the shut down of easy federal funds supplied by agencies like USAID. The monetary incentives for professional provocateurs is drying up.
The Justice Department has fired Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey and a federal prosecutor in Manhattan who worked on the cases against Sean “Diddy” Combs, Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.
Despite its penurious name, the Southern Poverty Law Center has an endowment of more than $700 million, compensates leadership handsomely, and possesses more than $30 million in offshore accounts—likely in the Cayman Islands, its most recent IRS filing reveals.
Just a few lines in the nearly 1,000-page tax and spending cut bill signed into law on July 4 by President Donald Trump mean big money for the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles.
The ruling lifts a lower court order halting Trump’s planned firings and restructuring of federal agencies.
U.S. Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Ron Johnson broke “new ground” Tuesday at a subcommittee hearing on vaccine injury when they criticized liability protection for the pharmaceutical industry and discussed co-sponsoring a bill banning pharmaceutical ads on TV.
CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten admitted this week he was surprised to find that Trump’s standing with Republican voters has strengthened despite widespread complaints on social media about the Epstein files. “You might think his approval ratings were going down with Republicans—if anything, they’re going up,” Enten said, referencing recent polling from CNN and Quinnipiac. According to CNN’s numbers, Republican approval of Trump rose from 86% in the previous poll to 88% this week. Quinnipiac’s poll showed a similar jump, from 87% to 90%.
“Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to court approval. This SCAM, perpetuated by Democrats, should end, right now!” he wrote.
She likened it to the intense media interest in ties between Trump’s first White House campaign and Russia, saying “I don’t want it to consume his presidency.” “Obviously, this is not a complete hoax given the fact that Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving 20 years in prison in Florida for her crimes and activities with Jeffrey Epstein, who we know is a convicted sexual predator,” Loomer told POLITICO. “This is why I said, and I’ll reiterate it again, the best thing that the president can do is appoint a special counsel to handle the Epstein files investigation.”
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence in Tallahassee State Prison in Florida, for her role in grooming and trafficking underage girls for Epstein and his network of high-powered friends, which included billionaires, politicians, academics, and royalty. Yet to date, not a single Epstein “client” has been charged.
"Vice President JD Vance BREAKS THE TIE, the $9B DOGE cuts package ADVANCES. NPR, PBS, USAID on the chopping block. 3 Republican NOs: McConnell, Collins, Murkowski. ..."
According to the Daily Mail, "Despite the rumors, Ghislaine was never offered any kind of plea deal. She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story," adding "No-one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows. She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein and she would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth."
The drones rained down primarily on four major cities, including Kharkiv in the northeast, Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine - which is President Zelensky's hometown, Vinnytsia in the west, and Odesa in the south. These fresh strikes primarily targeted energy infrastructure and injured at least 15 people.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Afghan migrants who were imported to the United States under former President Joe Biden.

Wednesday's hearing is set for just over a week after Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the allocation of $101 million in taxpayer funds for “multifamily low-income housing development” in communities in Los Angeles devastated by the Palisades, Eaton and Hughes wildfires.
The 6–3 ruling reverses a lower court order blocking the terminations.
If this is "it"... the "major announcement" on Russia that was planned, then we will say it could have been a lot worse in terms of escalation (such as ramping up more offensive weapons deliveries to Kiev), but amid Trump perhaps poorly managing expectations, people will be asking: that was it? Even RT is chiming in with some light mockery...
For the first time in years, a group of German industrial labor representatives has broken ranks. In an open letter to Chancellor Friedrich Merz, they fiercely criticize Berlin’s climate policy. Will their defiance ignite a firestorm—or vanish in the memory hole crafted by media gatekeepers?
He described that many of the drones were decoys or "simulators" which are designed to distract and overwhelm defense systems, making it harder to intercept the actual assault kamikaze drones. Zelensky further said that included in the overnight aerial attack were 26 cruise missiles, and that some half of all the UAVs were Iranian-make Shaheds. Hits on southwestern Chernivtsi region saw two people killed and 20 injured, even though this area is far from the front lines of battle with Russian forces.
As Syria’s new rulers exploit wildfire and war to reshape the coastal region, a campaign of arson and forced displacement threatens to extinguish Alawite presence from their ancestral lands
Russia’s only aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, may soon be retired and dismantled after years of failed modernization efforts and a string of high-profile accidents, according to Russian media reports. Citing informed sources, Izvestia reported that work to repair and upgrade the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser was suspended some time ago. A decision on whether to resume the project or permanently remove the vessel from service is expected soon from the Russian Navy’s Main Command and United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC), the report said.
Speculation is mounting that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is furious over the Department of Justice’s explosive memo concerning Jeffrey Epstein, with anonymous sources claiming he has issued a stark ultimatum to the White House: dismiss Attorney General Pam Bondi or he will resign from his position.
Now, after his FBI just came out to say 'nothing to see here!' (no list, and Epstein definitely killed himself), Trump just wants the whole thing to go away for some reason we can't quite put our finger on.
The Moscow-Pyongyang bromance continues, based on mutual defense objectives and the landmark agreement struck between Presidents Putin and Kim Jong-Un last summer. As part of the latest in official trips and exchanges Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was hosted by Kim during a visit to North Korea, where Pyongyang reaffirmed its strong backing of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Shannon Everett of the trucking advocacy group American Truckers United (ATU) has been one of the most outspoken folks about the Biden-Harris regime's role in the surge of migrant drivers with non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses (CDLs). He warns the influx has transformed U.S. highways into a national security threat and a growing public safety crisis, citing multiple fatal crashes this year involving migrants behind the wheel of fully loaded 80,000-pound big rigs.
When the German state fails to protect the youth, some citizens are taking defense into their own hands, even as the police warn against such an action
There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein’s death.
In this nine month period, over 20% of these deaths occurred in the Centre and Artibonite areas, signaling that violence is extending well beyond Port-au-Prince into surrounding regions.
interestingly, the White House has acted surprised that the pause was ever given: During a meeting of his Cabinet on Tuesday, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sitting next to him, Trump said he didn't know who signed off on the weapons pause.
#1 Why were Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell arrested and charged with operating an enormous sex trafficking ring that supposedly involved thousands of clients if no such clients ever existed? As Robby Starbuck has pointed out, apparently we are supposed to believe that all of the powerful men that visited Epstein’s island were “just there to catch some waves and relax”…
Mark Epstein has lashed out at the FBI and Department of Justice over their conclusion that his brother, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, died by suicide. The DOJ and FBI said on Sunday that they concluded an “exhaustive review” into Epstein’s death in 2019 and found that he was not murdered.
Last week the Trump administration abruptly paused deliveries of missiles and munitions to Ukraine, claiming it had concerns that U.S. stockpiles of munitions were low and that it was compelled to make a decision, as a White House spokesperson put it, “to put America’s interests first.” But there's reason to think the Trump administration may have exaggerated the consequences of how supplying weapons to Ukraine would affect U.S. stockpiles as a pretext for once again demonstrating that its commitment to Ukraine is up in the air.
Elbridge Colby — yes, that Colby guy — the Under Secretary of Defense, quietly diverted multiple weapons shipments en route to Ukraine. It was a tactical move designed to block the national security wing of the GOP from nudging Trump closer to a balanced position between Russia and Ukraine. The pro-Putin lobby always has a trick up its sleeve around the time of Trump-Putin calls. This one was their biggest play yet.
despite diligent efforts to warn the public, elected officials, and bureaucrats, billions of people (many repeatedly) have been subjected to these injections in what can only be described as a radical and unethical medical experiment. In many countries, including Canada, doctors who voiced caution were unlawfully persecuted—our careers, incomes, and reputations tarnished
"The guilty plea ... triggered the guns' forfeiture," the court said. "Since McCloskey's guilt remains, it follows that he is not entitled to the return of the weapons." Keep in mind that Mark and Patricia McCloskey can both go into a gun store and legally purchase a firearm, which makes the judges' decision that he's not entitled to get his guns back even more ridiculous.
...moving forward, those accomplishments will be updated and marked with an asterisk in the official record books.
Russia overnight launched an unprecedented 728 Shahed drones as well as decoy drones, accompanied also by 13 cruise and ballistic missiles, Ukraine's air force announced Wednesday.
“Epstein had cameras in all of his homes. Epstein was definitely a blackmail artist,” Bryant notes. “The government wants to make sure that that does not come out. A huge part of our political system is predicated on blackmail,” he adds.
U.S. Department of Agriculture chief Brooke Rollins announced Tuesday that the U.S. government will move to ban sales of farmland nationwide to buyers tied to China and other foreign adversaries, citing threats to national security and food security — an effort that casts uncertainty over property currently held by China-linked investors.
China has been buying up strategically placed farmland next to military installations across the US, raising national security fears over potential espionage or even sabotage. The Post has identified 19 bases across the US from Florida to Hawaii which are in close proximity to land bought up by Chinese entities and could be exploited by spies working for the communist nation.
Ekranoplans, also known as Wing-in-Ground Effect (WIG), are aircraft designed to fly just above the surface of the water. This can be more efficient and allows them to fly below the radar horizon, while being much faster than ships. Historically, the Soviet Union was the main builder of these, constructing the famous ‘Caspian Sea Monster‘ and missile-armed ‘Lun’ types. While some Soviet types were ginormous, other types globally have always been much smaller. Until now.
US president voices frustration with Putin as Ukrainian officials say they are grateful but number is ‘minuscule’
Agriculture Secretary Rollins will also join a panel that reviews foreign acquisitions for national security risks.
With that as background, President Trump said Tuesday that he plans to set a 50 percent tariff on copper imports, as part of a set of looming sectoral tariffs, while also indicating he could offer pharmaceutical manufacturers at least a year before implementing levies on their foreign-made products. Trump told reporters during a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday he was still planning tariffs on select industries, including drugs, semiconductors, and metals.
The federal agents left, apparently without making any arrests. The park is in an area that is home to long-standing criminal street gangs.
Judge Indira Talwani, sitting on the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, decided that Congress—yes, Congress—doesn’t actually get to decide how taxpayer money is spent, at least not when it comes to the Left’s sacred cow.
The flash flood that sent a 30-foot wall of water surging down the Guadalupe River in Central Texas has claimed at least 81 lives as of early Monday morning. Law enforcement officials in Kerr County confirmed that at least ten girls from Camp Mystic remain missing. Amid speculation that the so-called "1-in-1,000-year storm" may have been triggered by cloud seeding, one of the weather modification operators in the region has denied any flight operations during the relevant timeframe.
US President Donald Trump announced plans to impose higher tariff rates of 25%-40% on key trading partners and signed an executive order holding off the new duties until Aug. 1. Tariffs on Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Kazakhstan and Tunisia, would be 25%, South Africa and Bosnia 30%, Indonesia 32%, Bangladesh and Serbia 35%, Thailand and Cambodia 36%, while Laos and Myanmar would face a 40% levy. Meanwhile, Trump suggested the possibility of additional trade negotiations and delays at the White House shortly after he sent out the tariff letters, as he said the notifications were “not 100% firm”. He also said the US is close in making a deal with India. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said additional letters will arrive in the coming days.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz said his staff interviewed an MCC technician, who started to repair the cameras on Aug. 8, 2019, but did not finish his work. The technician told the inspector general he had “no idea” why he did not stay at the facility to resolve the problem that day. Again, Bongino's claim is impossible. Epstein had three other inmates on his cell block, and the camera there wasn't recording. Even if no one came to kill Epstein from the outside, we can't rule out these other inmates.
Utah plastic surgeon Dr. Kirk Moore is facing thirty five years in federal prison for destroying thousands of vials of COVID-19 vaccine, giving his patients vaccine cards without taking the shots, and injecting saline into children whose parents wanted them to believe they got vaccinated without risking the deadly side effects.
It's not just ironic, but scandalous, that Trump met with a US-designated terrorist during this Gulf tour while in Saudi Arabia. If any individual American citizen did the same, they would likely be investigated and prosecuted by the FBI. But Sharaa is the "former" al-Qaeda in Syria man who helped overthrow Bashar al-Assad, and that's apparently all that Washington cares about.
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported moments ago that a gunman wearing tactical gear and armed with a rifle ambushed U.S. Border Patrol agents at an auxiliary facility earlier this morning. This shooting comes amid increasingly hostile rhetoric directed at federal agents — primarily fueled by Democratic Party lawmakers and their affiliated leftist Marxist NGOs — raising questions about the real-world consequences of politically charged attacks on federal law enforcement.
Russia's military announced on Sunday that its forces had taken control of two additional settlements in eastern Ukraine, specifically one in the Donetsk region and the other in Kharkiv. The statements indicated the villages of Piddubne in Donetsk and Sobolivka in Kharkiv are now under Russian control, though the Ukrainian side has not yet acknowledged this.

demonstrators marched in Mexico City on Friday to protest against the city's status as a hot new residential destination for American ex-pats and remote workers. Though it started peacefully, many demonstrators turned violent, with some of them accosting Americans and smashing the restaurants, banks and other businesses that cater to them.
After a single night's record drone attack of some 500 UAVs sent on Ukraine, Trump said "It just seems like he wants to go all the way and just keep killing people. It's not good. I wasn't happy with it" - in reference to Putin.
Russia launched one of the largest aerial assaults of the war on Ukraine overnight, unleashing more than 500 drones, with Kyiv as the primary target. The timing of the attack—just hours after a phone call between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin—yielded no success toward ending the war in Eastern Europe. On X, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha said, "Hundreds of Russian drones and ballistic missiles rained down on the Ukrainian capital." He described the attack as "one of the worst so far."
"Public opinion is currently so angry that no one even dares to talk about negotiations and diplomacy," Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei told Iranian media on Saturday.
In a message posted on X on Friday, Sikorski urged Trump to resume the supply of anti-aircraft ammunition to Ukraine amid record-setting numbers of drones sent against the country this week. He also accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of "mocking" US-led peace efforts.
A group of inspectors from the United Nations' nuclear watchdog has finally and formally departed Iran after the country decided to halt its cooperation with the agency, following last month's surprise bombing raids by Israel and the United States. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed in statement shared on X on Friday that its personnel are returning to the agency’s headquarters in Vienna, Austria.
Homeschooling families in California are rallying against a bill they say would cut funding for critical enrichment programs and force their charter schools to close down.
"When Iranian Shahed drones – now significantly upgraded – and ballistic missiles from North Korea – also upgraded – kill our people in Ukraine, it is a clear sign that global solidarity and global pressure are not enough," Zelensky said. "We must significantly tighten sanctions."
Referring to this holiday as merely, "the Fourth of July" reduces this pivotal date to a mere date on the calendar. The phrase is not incorrect, but it lacks the depth, the resonance and the emotional impact of "Independence Day." A calendar date does not evoke the weight of this historical event or the principles and ideals that (ostensibly) continue to shape our national identity. Calling it "The Fourth of July" conjures up images of barbecues, fireworks and parties which, while enjoyable, can overshadow the true purpose of this holiday. Without the historical context of "Independence Day." the celebration runs the risk of becoming simply a generic holiday, disconnected from its roots in the struggle for independence and the revolutionary vision that inspired it.
The move was made in response to Canada’s digital services tax, Trump said.
A jury ruled on Thursday in favor of 13 employees with the St. Louis Public Schools System who were forced to take the COVID vaccine despite religious objections. The court awarded the 13 employees $4 million for the injustice.
Family members question Chinese probe that deemed the case a suicide. And many in China support them.
Vice President JD Vance broke a 50–50 tie to secure passage of the bill. Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), and Susan Collins (R-Maine) voted in opposition. Other holdouts, including Sens. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), ultimately supported the legislation despite misgivings.
US State Department officials have reportedly said that Iran's suspension of cooperation with IAEA is "unacceptable", adding that Iran must cooperate fully without further delay. UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric also chimed in, saying that Iran’s suspension of its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is “obviously concerning"
The health secretary said there are issues with the program, which was created as part of a law that gives vaccine manufacturers immunity.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed on July 1 the shutdown of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which had been rapidly dismantled earlier this year by the Trump administration.
The ruling comes after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.
... Some of these individuals are also “engaged in hostile activities, including espionage, economic espionage, and preparations for terror-related activities,” the proclamation stated. “Many have abused the generosity of the American people, and their presence in the United States has cost taxpayers billions of dollars at the Federal, State, and local levels.”
Strictly speaking, the only issue before the court was whether these kits fit within the statute’s meaning of the word “weapon.” The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms was not under consideration—at least not directly.
"Having almost entirely ejected Ukrainian forces from the Russian Kursk region earlier this year, Russian forces have now poured over the border in the opposite direction toward Sumy," the report describes. "With 50,000 troops in the area, they outnumber the Ukrainians roughly 3-to-1, according to soldiers fighting there."
It now heads back to the House, where it will first go to a Conference Committee and then the full house. Speaker Mike Johnson says he thinks it will be finished by July 4.
