- In a dramatic foreign policy twist, Trump and Putin trade insults while the U.S. greenlights Patriot missiles for Ukraine.
- Senate Republicans block an attempt to roll back unpopular tax hikes tucked into the Big Beautiful Bill.
- Trump loses his sex assault appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case — and owes millions more.
- Texas reels from devastating floods while GOP leaders keep calling it a “hundred-year” event.
- Democrats unveil “Project 2029” — their early roadmap for the post-Biden era.
- EPA chief Lee Zeldin fuels fringe theories by saying concerns about chemtrails and weather engineering are “legitimate.”
- Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene doubles down, introducing a weather-engineering conspiracy bill in Congress.
- Iran’s top brass threatens to kill Trump “while sunbathing”
