Today’s Big Story…

Following a tense discussion with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin via an hour-long phone call, U.S. President Donald Trump said Putin plans to respond with vengeance to Ukraine’s drone strike on Russian airbases.

The two leaders also discussed the potential to restore U.S.-Russia cooperation, but according to Trump’s recent social media post, immediate peace to the Russia-Ukraine conflict is not foreseeable. Russia’s RIA Novosti emphasized this point, stating that Putin holds Ukraine responsible for disrupted talks and called its government a “terrorist organization.”

The call between Trump and Putin was their first since Ukraine's drone strike on Russian airbases, which targeted nuclear-capable bombers. According to a Russian official, Trump told Putin the U.S. had no prior knowledge of the attack. Days earlier, Trump warned he might shift the U.S. stance on Russia if peace talks didn’t progress, accusing Putin of stalling. This also comes after Trump called Putin “absolutely crazy” and warned he was “playing with fire” after Russian strikes killed civilians in Ukraine.

Another Big Story…

Hours after Elon Musk criticized President Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ White House adviser Stephen Miller defended it in a series of posts on X, outlining its contents and urging approval.

The bill narrowly cleared the House last month but faces opposition in the Senate, where several Republicans argue it would raise the deficit. However, Miller’s defense of the bill stems from its proposed expansion and acceleration of the removal of illegal and criminal aliens. He called it the most important legislation in generations and warned it’s a “now or never” moment to pass it with 218 House and 50 Senate votes.

The Administration…

• President Trump signed a proclamation banning travel from 19 countries due to national security concerns. The ban targets specific nations but includes certain exceptions.

• U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and Trump’s Syria envoy, Thomas Barrack, announced the U.S. will reduce its military presence in Syria from eight bases to one.

• President Trump ordered an investigation into whether aides used autopen to sign executive actions in an attempt to hide former President Biden’s health issues. He directed the White House Counsel to examine whether anyone had acted unlawfully on Biden’s behalf.

• President Trump also rescinded a Biden-era policy requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortions under EMTALA. The 2022 guidance, issued after Roe v. Wade was overturned, mandated such care even in states with abortion bans. The Trump administration stated that it created legal confusion and exceeded its federal authority.

• FDA Commissioner Marty Makary said he will review the safety of mifepristone, a key abortion pill. A recent study claims real-world complications are 22 times higher than listed on the FDA label.

• Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy threatened to cut $4 billion in federal grants for California’s High-Speed Rail Authority, citing $7 billion spent over 15 years without laying any track. A 310-page report outlined delays and budget overruns.

• The Trump administration says Columbia University has violated federal antidiscrimination laws and failed to meet accreditation standards. The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights notified the school’s accreditor.

• Walmart has started laying off illegal workers at select Florida stores following a Supreme Court ruling that let the Trump administration revoke legal protections for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens.

• A federal judge dismissed Democrats' challenge to a Trump executive order they claimed threatened the FEC's independence. Judge Amir Ali ruled that the Democratic Party’s three national committees didn’t show sufficient evidence that the order jeopardized the agency’s autonomy.

• President Trump intensified his calls for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates following disappointing economic data.

• The U.S. vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution that called for an immediate Gaza ceasefire but did not condemn Hamas. The resolution passed 14-1, with the U.S. casting the sole opposing vote, blocking it as a permanent Council member.

Vice President…

JD Vance criticized Harvard, accusing the institution of lacking ideological diversity and comparing it to North Korea. He claimed that about 95% of its faculty likely voted for Kamala Harris in 2024 and described universities as "quasi-theocratic" or "quasi-totalitarian."

Congress…

The Resistance…

1. Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced she is leaving the Democrat Party and will be releasing a tell-all book about her time in the Biden White House, titled Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines.

2. KJP is now facing backlash from former White House colleagues after announcing her forthcoming book. Ex-Biden aides slammed the move as a “grift.”

3. NBC6 Miami meteorologist John Morales sparked backlash after veering into a political rant during a weather report. He claimed hurricane forecasts may suffer due to Trump-era cuts to the National Weather Service and NOAA.

4. Charles Littlejohn, the ex-IRS contractor imprisoned for leaking President Trump's tax records, declined to testify before the House Judiciary Committee, citing his Fifth Amendment rights. His public defender informed the GOP-led panel that Littlejohn is appealing his five-year sentence and is not required to appear before Congress.

5. A federal judge halted the deportation of the wife and five children of an Egyptian illegal alien, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who is accused of a firebombing in Boulder, Colorado. Judge Gordon P. Gallagher granted the family's request to pause removal after they were taken into federal custody.

6. A new GAO report says the Pentagon lost nearly $11 billion to fraud between 2017 and 2024, but warns this may be just a small portion of the true total.

7. National security officials are sounding the alarm over an alleged plot by two Chinese researchers to smuggle a crop-destroying fungus into the U.S. The FBI says Yunqing Jian, a Communist Party loyalist, conspired with her boyfriend, Zunyong Liu, to transport the pathogen illegally.

8. China is offering U.S. scientists long-term job security to relocate to the country. Nobel Prize-winning researcher Ardem Patapoutian said he was promised 20 years of funding and his choice of university in China after revealing his U.S. federal funding had been frozen.

9. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the country will not halt its uranium enrichment program, rejecting a key element of ongoing nuclear talks with the U.S. He criticized the latest American proposal, which reportedly offered sanctions relief in return for enrichment limits.

10. Israel said it is ready to take action to block Greta Thunberg’s “Freedom Flotilla Coalition” from reaching Gaza. The 22-year-old activist had set sail to deliver milk and protein bars, sharing social media posts of herself in a keffiyeh and holding a Palestinian flag.

11. The Washington Post retracted a story that falsely claimed Israeli troops fired on Palestinians at a U.S.-run aid site in Gaza—a claim originally spread by Hamas.
