From 'peace through strength' and pausing aid: day one of Trump's foreign policy
Trump signed a flurry of executive orders on his first day as US President, withdrawing the country from the Paris climate agreement and reversing sanctions on violent Israeli settlers.
A political firestorm has erupted after Elon Musk publicly declared his support for Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky who has drawn the ire of Donald Trump. Massie, known for opposing Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and calling out recent Iran strikes as unconstitutional, now finds himself targeted by Trump in a fiery GOP primary feud.
Trump labeled Massie a “pathetic loser” and vowed to campaign hard against him. However, Musk’s financial support and vocal backing on X could change the game. Former Rep. Justin Amash and grassroots conservatives have also rallied behind Massie, portraying him as a principled fiscal conservative resisting bloated spending. With nearly $309K raised in just a week, Massie’s campaign gains momentum amid the MAGA-driven backlash. The battle now highlights a deeper rift in the Republican Party — between loyalty to Trump and commitment to independent conservative values.

Trump praised Johnson, Scalise, Emmer, and Thune for delivering the win, calling it a “historic moment” and the “beauty of unified government.” The legislation sets the stage for more executive orders and deeper conservative reforms ahead.

Russia Bombards Kiev Overnight: Kiev was rocked by a wave of explosions early Friday morning as Ukrainian officials reported a massive overnight barrage of Russian missiles and drones. At least 13 impacts were recorded across the capital, with multiple fires lighting up the skyline in dramatic fashion. Blurred footage circulating on Ukrainian social media shows the chaos as civilians sheltered from the blasts.
Ukrainian authorities claim the strikes targeted non-residential areas, but falling debris injured over a dozen people and caused fires in residential neighborhoods. The Russian Ministry of Defense has not yet issued a statement. The attacks came just hours after a reported phone call between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, in which Trump urged Moscow to halt the fighting.

A massive new tax and spending bill, championed by Donald Trump as his "big, beautiful bill," has cleared major congressional hurdles and is now facing a final, contentious vote. The legislation proposes a sweeping overhaul of the US economy, extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts while significantly boosting defense and energy spending and allocating new funds for border security. This move has ignited a political firestorm in Washington D.C., creating deep divisions not only between parties but within the Republican ranks and even straining Trump's relationship with high-profile supporters like Elon Musk.
The funding for this ambitious bill is at the heart of the controversy. The Republican proposal outlines deep cuts to essential social safety nets, including Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and other low-income assistance programs. According to the Congressional Budget Office, these changes could result in nearly 12 million Americans losing their health coverage. The bill also introduces new work requirements for childless, able-bodied adults to receive Medicaid and SNAP benefits.
The financial implications are staggering. The bill is projected to add an estimated $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, a figure that has caused alarm and division among fiscal conservatives in the GOP. Social Democrats like Bernie Sanders have fiercely condemned the bill, labeling it a "handout to Trump’s rich allies." In a tense Senate session, Vice President JD Vance had to cast a tie-breaking vote to advance the legislation.
Despite the backlash, the bill contains provisions aimed at working-class voters, such as eliminating federal taxes on tips and overtime pay. However, House Democrats have blasted the legislation as a "reckless, regressive GOP tax scam" ahead of the crucial midterm elections. As the final vote looms, Trump has urged Republican lawmakers to "stay united" and pass the bill, which also includes a provision to raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.

Chilling new video captures the exact moment an Israeli drone strike destroyed a vehicle on a busy civilian road in Khaldeh, south of Beirut. The targeted attack, which took place amidst regular traffic, resulted in the death of one individual and left three others injured. The incident has sent shockwaves through the region and raised fears of a wider conflict.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) swiftly claimed responsibility for the strike. In a public statement, the IDF claimed it had successfully targeted and eliminated a militant affiliated with Iran’s Quds Force. According to Israeli military sources, the individual killed was deeply involved in smuggling weapons into the region and was actively planning terror attacks against both Israeli civilians and military forces. However, neither Israeli nor Lebanese officials have officially released the name or confirmed the identity of the person killed.
This strike is not an isolated event but the latest in a series of escalating Israeli military actions in Lebanon following the collapse of a ceasefire weeks ago. On July 2, another Israeli airstrike in a civilian zone in Nabatieh injured two people, including a child. Furthermore, Israeli troops recently conducted a raid in the Al-Adisa area, targeting Hezbollah fighters. This pattern of conflict was also seen on June 28, when an Israeli drone strike in Kounine killed three people, including senior Hezbollah leader Hassan Hammoudi. These continuous strikes are fueling a volatile situation on the Israel-Lebanon border.

In its most chilling warning yet, Iran has vowed a far more devastating retaliation against Israel if aggression continues. Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi declared that Iran held back during its June 24 counterattack and did not unleash its full military capabilities. The warning comes after Israel’s June 13 assassination strike on top Iranian military and nuclear figures, followed by U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Speaking to Al-Mayadeen, Mousavi accused Israel and its allies of years-long plots against Iran and warned that any further provocation would be met with overwhelming force.
