US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has suggested that a probe into President Joe Biden is ‘rising to the level of an impeachment inquiry.’ McCarthy, who leads the Republican majority in the House of Representatives said that Biden had not been truthful about his involvement with his son Hunter Biden's business dealings.
He also shared that the House of Representatives has already been asking him to begin the process of impeaching Biden.
Biden unveiled three-phase Israeli proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza at the White House. Hamas has reacted positively to the deal but Biden acknowledged keeping it on track would be difficult.

The measure is viewed as another avenue of pressure against Vladimir Putin's attack on Ukraine.
Enriched uranium is used to fuel nuclear power plants. Russia supplies the world

Approximately 24% of the uranium used by nuclear power plants in the U.S. is provided by Russia.
The import ban will begin in 90 days.
However, the Department of Energy
(DOE) will be permitted to issue
waivers if supplies run low until 2028.
U.S. National Security Adviser
Jake Sullivan said the new law will... .
... “strengthen our nation’s energy and economic security by reducing, and ultimately eliminating,
our reliance on Russia for civilian nuclear power.”.

DNC Chair Jamie Harrison is
confident that Democrats will handle the
issue and "land this plane on our own.".
Joe Biden will be on the ballot in Ohio and
all 50 states, and Ohio Republicans agree.
But when the time has come for action,
they have failed to act every time, so
Democrats will land this plane on our own, Jamie Harrison, DNC chair, via statement.
Through a virtual roll call, we will ensure that
Republicans can't chip away at our democracy
through incompetence or partisan tricks and
that Ohioans can exercise their right to vote
for the presidential candidate of their choice, Jamie Harrison, DNC chair, via statement.
Mike DeWine, Republican governor
of Ohio, chimed in as well.
While I understand the Democratic National
Committee has just today proposed a
work-around to help get President Biden
on the Ohio ballot, it is prudent legislation
be passed to get this done. , Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement.
As I previously said, we do not want to leave
something so basic as having the sitting
President of the United States on the ballot
to others when this can-and should-be done
legislatively. It's the right thing to do. , Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement.
For these reasons, it is important that
a bill or multiple bills that accomplish
these common-sense measures come
to my desk right away this week.

Trump Promises to Stop , All Electric Car Sales.
In an effort to be reelected
as President of the Unites States.
Trump is promising oil and gas execs that
he'll keep electric vehicles (EVs) from being sold in the U.S. if they make significant donations to his campaign, Gizmodo reports. .
Trump said that he'd lower tailpipe emissions targets and cut EV tax credits, among other things. .
"You won't be able to sell those cars," Trump said.
However, the EV market continues to grow, with
at least 1.5 million units expected to sell in 2024.
If Trump squashes EV sales in the U.S., it could anger some Republicans since the market has provided more jobs and investments in the South.
For example, Hyundai is investing
$13 billion in Georgia, a state Trump lost
in 2020, to produce electric vehicles.
Meanwhile, analysts predict EV sales will continue to rise despite Trump's efforts.
Although, his tactics could prove
to slow those sales dramatically. .
Ford Motor executive chair
William Clay Ford Jr. weighed
in on Trump's promises.
Our time frame as a company,
our planning time frame, is a lot
longer than election cycles, William Clay Ford Jr., via statement.

Advocates Fight For Those , Sickened By US Nuclear Testing , Program on Capitol Hill.

for families sickened by the country's nuclear testing. .
On June 7, the federal Radiation Exposure Compensation
Act (RECA) program is set to expire, ending a lifeline
for families sickened by the country's nuclear testing. .
NPR reports that advocates have gathered
on Capitol Hill to fight for so-called atomic
veterans and save the RECA program.
Over the past year, multiple bipartisan
bills were approved by the Senate to
reauthorize and expand the program. .
Those bills stalled out in the House,
due to some Republicans objecting
to the cost of the program. .
According to sponsors of the bills, those concerns
were addressed by reducing the initial 2023 estimate
of $143 billion down to between $50 and $60 billion. .
NPR reports that RECA has provided payments up to
$75,000 to those sickened by the nuclear testing
program, totaling $2.7 billion to over 400,000 recipients. .
One of the groups fighting to have
the program extended is the
Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium. .
The group works to raise awareness of illnesses
linked to Trinity, the government's code word for
the first nuclear bomb test, which took place in 1945.
Martinez White, a member of the group,
says fallout from those tests resulted in at
least six cases of cancer in her family of ten. .
I would often go home for
funerals and everybody in
Tularosa was dying of cancer.
We knew something was very weird. , Martinez White, Tularosa Basin
Downwinders Consortium member, via NPR.
There's no industry in the whole
Tularosa Basin but for White Sands
Missile Range, where the
Trinity bomb was detonated, Martinez White, Tularosa Basin
