In a significant development, U.S. President Joe Biden revealed that Israel has proposed a "roadmap" to terminate its nearly eight-month-long conflict in the Gaza Strip. In a speech from the White House on Friday, Biden outlined Israel's three-phase plan, which aims to cease hostilities and pave the way for peace and reconstruction. The initial phase of Israel's offer involves a six-week period during which Israeli forces will withdraw from all populated areas in Gaza. This phase also includes a comprehensive ceasefire and the release of numerous hostages, including women, the elderly, and the wounded, in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.

In a stark assessment delivered at the Collective Security Treaty Organization's defense ministers’ meeting in Kazakhstan, Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov revealed that Ukraine has lost over 35,000 troops and thousands of pieces of weaponry in May alone. Belousov emphasized that the Russian military is systematically reducing Ukraine’s combat potential, crippling their ability to resist effectively. Faced with significant battlefield losses, Kiev has resorted to intensified attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure in an attempt to demonstrate strength to its Western supporters.

This Day in History: , John F. Kennedy Is Born.
May 29, 1917.
The future U.S. President
was born in Brookline, MA.
At the time of his birth,
the Kennedys were already a
prominent and politically
active American family.
As a young man, Kennedy attended
Harvard University, graduating with honors
with a degree in international relations.
His political career began in 1952,
when he was elected to the
House of Representatives.
Kennedy served as a U.S. senator
for seven years before running
for president in 1960.
Kennedy's platform of social policies and
anti-communism, combined with his charisma,
paved a way to the White House.
He was the youngest
U.S. president ever elected.
Kennedy's life and administration
was tragically cut short by his
assassination in 1963.
He was 46 years old

The certification will also occur before the DNC's in-person convention beginning Aug. 19 in Chicago.

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.
When we’re whipsawed back
and forth by politicians that
becomes really difficult for us, William Clay Ford Jr., via statement

Advocates Fight For Those , Sickened By US Nuclear Testing , Program on Capitol Hill.
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. .
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
Downwinders Consortium member, via NPR
