Today’s Big Story…

On Juneteenth, President Trump posted on Truth Social, criticizing non-working holidays, claiming they’re unpopular with both employers and employees.

“Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed. The workers don’t want it either! Soon we’ll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year. It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump posted.

Former President Joe Biden signed Juneteenth into law as a federal holiday on June 18, 2021, during a White House ceremony where he also called for greater racial equity and criticized state election integrity laws. It was the first new national holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established in 1983.

Another Big Story…

As speculation grows over a potential U.S. strike on Iran, President Trump had Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tell reporters that he’ll decide within two weeks—keeping Iran uncertain.

“Based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks,” said Leavitt, quoting Trump, and then added: “Trust in President Trump. President Trump has incredible instincts and President Trump kept America and the world safe in his first term as president.”

The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump approved Iran strike plans but was waiting to see if Tehran would end its nuclear program. Trump denied the claim on Truth Social, saying, “The Wall Street Journal has no idea what my thoughts are concerning Iran!”

Congress…

The Resistance…

Instead, he praised America as “the greatest country in the world,” recalling his journey as a legal immigrant and the opportunities it gave him. He then emphasized the importance of following the law.
