The Associated Press survey found growing dissatisfaction with Israel’s wartime leadership, even as the New York mayor remains divisive over his views on Israel

https://forward.com/news/836468/mamdani-netanyahu-american-jews-poll/

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, whose outspoken criticism of Israel has made him a frequent target of Jewish and pro-Israel advocates, is viewed more favorably by American Jews than Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a new poll released Tuesday.

The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey of 1,022 Jewish adults nationwide, conducted from June 11 through June 17, found that 44% of American Jews hold a favorable opinion of Zohran Mamdani, compared with 39% who view him unfavorably. By contrast, just 32% of respondents said they have a favorable opinion of Netanyahu, while 59% said they have a negative view of the longtime Israeli leader

The poll suggests that Mamdani’s positions on Israel have not prevented him from maintaining a net-positive image among American Jews overall.

Mamdani won just 26% of the Jewish vote in last year’s mayoral election. Since taking office, he has faced scrutiny from Jewish leaders and Zionist organizations over his sharp criticism of Israel and embrace of Palestinian activism that is shaping his tenure as leader of the city with the largest population of Jews outside Israel. Mamdani refused to recognize Israel as a Jewish state and said he wouldn’t travel to the country. He has also pledged to order the arrest of Netanyahu if he visits the city on his watch, complying with an ICC arrest warrant. That will be tested in September when Netanyahu arrives to speak at the United Nations General Assembly.

It is confirmed that FIFA is rigging the World Cup in favor of trump.

https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/trump-calls-world-cup-ref-155642863.html

Donald Trump confirmed that he requested a review of last week’s red card penalty given to U.S. forward Folarin Balogun during the World Cup, saying the penalty was “very unfair” and the referee responsible is “very suspect.”

“I’m a person that loves sports and was a good athlete. And I understand sports really well. Really well. And that wasn’t a foul. That wasn’t even an infraction,” he told reporters at the White House.

Trump went on to say that he didn’t know what a red card was before the penalty against Balogun was made. Once he understood that it would take Balogun out of the next match, he personally intervened because “we have to have our best players.”

“All I did, all I did, I asked for a review ’cause I didn’t think it was a foul. And again, I’m good at this stuff. I didn’t think it was a foul. I thought it was two great athletes who crashed into each other and got entangled,” he said.

Trump also called into question the integrity of the referee, while offering no details to support the accusation.

“This referee, who is a little bit suspect if you check his past,” he said. “I don’t want to say that because I don’t like to create controversy. But very suspect.”

Iran's military fired at least two missiles at commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Monday night, two U.S. officials tell Axios.

The IRGC attacked a third commercial ship on Tuesday morning, a U.S. official said.

Why it matters: The reported attacks threaten to unravel a memorandum of understanding signed less than three weeks ago under which Iran agreed to halt attacks in the Strait of Hormuz.

In a stunning rebuke to Obama's threat that "Those jobs aren't coming back", Toyota investing $3.6 billion in Te xas plant, moving most Tacoma pickup production from Mexico
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/toyota-3-6-billion-texas-plant-san-antonio-tacoma-pickup-production-from-mexico/

USMCA NOT BEING RENEWED YAY!

Toyota said Monday it will shift most production of its mid-size Tacoma pickup truck from Mexico to the United States as part of a $3.6 billion investment in its San Antonio, Texas, plant. The transition from Toyota's Tijuana, Mexico, facility will take roughly four years, the Japanese auto giant said.

The announcement comes just days after Washington declined to renew a North American trade pact with Mexico, as well as Canada, fueling uncertainty for businesses.

Toyota said in November it planned to invest as much as $10 billion in the United States over the next five years.

Treasonous Shitweasel McConnell to have corpse desecrated for another month. Good.

"High level source close to the White House tells me, 'Mitch McConnell is officially brain dead. He’s not coming back,'" the political commentator claimed via X on Monday, July 6.

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/other/mitch-mcconnell-is-officially-brain-dead-laura-loomer-claims-after-speaking-to-high-level-white-house-source-he-s-not-coming-back/ar-AA27lP4G

His team still refuses to disclose his medical diagnosis or the exact cause of his unconsciousness, whether he suffered a heart attack as the EMS audio suggests, the name of the medical facility where he is being treated, or a projected timeline for his discharge.

“SpokespersonRobert Steurer would not disclose whether McConnell remains hospitalized, whether staff has communicated with the senator since he was found unconscious, or what his diagnosis is. When asked for additional information, he merely pointed to the same statement released more than a week ago,” reported The Daily Beast.

President Donald Trump is sitting on a more than $350 million war chest, but Republicans are starting to feel shortchanged, Politico reported Monday.

MAGA Inc., a pro-Trump super PAC, hasn’t spent directly on a race since March, when it spent $17,900 to back Georgia Representative Clay Fuller’s campaign. Since then, MAGA Inc. has only given $560,000 to MAGA KY, which used it to back Ed Gallrein’s challenge against Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie.

Trump has openly mocked mounting concerns about affordability, and actively downplayed Republicans’ efforts to address it. Now, Republicans are frustrated that the president hasn’t spent a dime to convince voters that his party actually cares about them.

“We didn’t leave our most powerful missiles on the ships when we were trying to crush Iran. Money is the political equivalent in politics,” a GOP lobbyist and donor told Politico. “The electorate’s mindset on the economy is normally locked in stone by Labor Day after a summer of backyard conversations and paying for summer vacation gas.

“Now is the time to sell the message—America 250, the world loves America, the Democrats are crazy left again, and we sealed the border,” the lobbyist added.

Beyond sorely neglecting Republican candidates in November’s midterm elections, in some cases, Trump has actively undermined them.

Demonstrators in white supremacist attire protest on Capitol Hill
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/04/patriot-front-white-supremacist-protests-july-4-00987020

Demonstrators donning the logo and insignia of Patriot Front, a white supremacist group, were seen protesting in the Eastern Market neighborhood and on Capitol Hill on the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence.

Sporting white masks, sunglasses and Patriot Front’s signature tan caps, the protesters carried Confederate, Patriot Front and upside-down U.S. flags as they marched through Capitol Hill. The group was also photographed riding public transit on Saturday morning.

Outside Union Station, demonstrators chanted phrases including “Life, liberty, victory!” and “Reclaim America!” — slogans regularly used by the group.

The demonstration unfolded as tourists and Americans alike flocked to the “Salute to America” celebration on the National Mall, which will culminate in a speech by President Donald Trump and a fireworks show expected to last for a record-breaking 40 minutes. The Trump administration has made the nation’s 250th anniversary a top priority over the past few months through high-profile initiatives like the Great American State Fair and restoration work at the Reflecting Pool.

Later, anti-Trump demonstrators were filmed walking toward the White House carrying a large Declaration of Independence banner and chanting “8647,” a slogan calling for Trump’s removal from the presidency.

Patriot Front was founded in 2017 by Thomas Ryan Rousseau, who split from the alt-right organization Vanguard America in the aftermath of the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Patriot Front’s website describes the group as a “fraternal, nationalist, activist organization” and writes that “Our people, born to this nation of our European race, must reforge themselves as a new collective capable of asserting our right to cultural independence.”

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill filed an emergency request to the Louisiana State Supreme Court to cancel an arrest warrant and enforce a stay to her indictment. This comes hours after the court granted a stay of Attorney General Liz Murrill's indictment.

The Court noted that the “Attorney General makes a compelling argument concerning the disturbing defects in the grand jury proceedings and in the trial court’s handling of those proceedings.”

Murrill released a statement on the Court's decision, saying “I’m grateful to the Louisiana Supreme Court for swiftly issuing a stay in this matter. The constitution and laws of Louisiana impose a wide swath of duties on the Attorney General. I will continue to carry out those duties to the best of my ability. This matter is not over. I will still need to file the necessary motions to seek a dismissal, which will be forthcoming. I want to thank the many friends and supporters who have expressed their support and encouragement. I hope this political witch hunt is not a harbinger of things to come, but I fear that it is. Neither the grand jury investigation law nor the public intimidation law was intended to be used as a political weapon by a rogue, biased, vindictive special prosecutor, judge, and grand jury. I hope the legislature in the future will ensure this cannot happen again."

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/0701/trump-usmca-canada-mexico-trade-treaty.html

The Trump administration has decided not to renew its trilateral trade pact with Canada and Mexico, instead opting to conduct annual reviews of the treaty that President Donald Trump once called “the best agreement we’ve ever made.”

The widely anticipated decision on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, known as USMCA, was revealed Wednesday, the deadline for the three North American trade partners to determine whether they would renew their agreement for another 16-year term.

The decision means the USMCA will stay in effect for another decade, provided no member tries to withdraw from it. But it also triggers yearly reviews that could result in the renegotiation of major parts of the treaty.

Trump “chose not to rubber stamp a USMCA renewal without addressing existing issues,” a senior administration official told reporters in a call announcing the move.

“In other words, the United States did not agree to renew the USMCA in its current form,” the official said. “So, as a result, the USMCA is not renewed.”

Trump’s “primary” concern with USMCA centers on the U.S.′ trade deficits with the two trading partners, according to the official.

A new national poll reveals a striking paradox in public sentiment ahead of America's 250th anniversary: a disconnect between Americans' strong patriotic pride and their lack of civic knowledge.

According to a survey from the libertarian Cato Institute think tank of more than 2,000 U.S. adults conducted in late June, 86% of respondents said they are grateful to be American and 70% believe the nation's founding principles remain relevant.

However, nearly half of Americans (46%) don't know that America's 250th anniversary commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.

Ukrainian state authorities were behind the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines linking Russia with Europe, German prosecutors said on Thursday.

In a statement detailing the charges brought against suspect Serhii K. on Wednesday, prosecutors said that he and six accomplices had acted "on the orders of state authorities in Ukraine."

According to prosecutors, K., now 50, was an "officer in the Ukrainian army" at the time of the operation, and his accomplices were also "military personnel."

Prosecutors said the plan was to "destroy the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines" with the objective of "permanently halting gas supplies via the pipelines and preventing Russia from using the revenue from natural gas trade to finance its war efforts."

Germany is one of the biggest military backers of Ukraine in its battle against the ongoing Russian invasion, making the incident potentially diplomatically awkward. Before the war, Germany covered a considerable part of its energy needs with fuel and gas from Russia.

Ukrainian authorities said they lacked sufficient information about the case to respond in detail to the German prosecutors' allegations.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-announces-pardons-pollution-violators-fixing-their-car/

President Trump on Friday announced pardons for six people whom he said had been wrongfully prosecuted for "fixing their car" in what he called an act of "weaponization and stupidity" by federal prosecutors.

"I AM SETTING THEM ALL FREE, RIGHT NOW!," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

The White House did not immediately provide a list of the names of the six defendants pardoned, but lawyer Stewart Cables and lobbyist Jeff Daugherty, who are representing five of the six defendants, identified them to CBS News. They said Ryan and Wade Lalone, Matt Geouge, Tim Clancy and Mac Spurlock received presidential pardons.

Daugherty told CBS News, "Thanks to God for putting it on Trump's heart to approve these pardons, and thank God for Donald Trump." He said that Mr. Trump "is the only president who would have taken an interest in these parties, and the reason is he's the only president to face such ferocious weaponization himself."

Daugherty and Cables were informed of the pardons by the White House.

Earlier on Friday, CBS News was the first to report that Mr. Trump planned to pardon defendants who were prosecuted for tampering with air pollution control equipment in vehicles, in violation of the Clean Air Act.

The pardons come after Mr. Trump last fall granted clemency to Troy Lake, a Wyoming mechanic who served seven months in prison for violating federal emissions laws for disabling air pollution-control equipment on diesel engines.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-job-growth-misses-expectations-june-unemployment-rate-falls-42-2026-07-02/

U.S. job growth slowed sharply in June and payroll gains for the prior two months were revised lower, pointing to a cooling labor market and prompting financial markets to dial back expectations for a near-term interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve.

While the Labor Department's closely watched employment report on Thursday showed the unemployment rate dropped to 4.2% last month from 4.3% in May, that was due to 720,000 people leaving the labor force, which pushed down the participation rate to the lowest level in more than five years.

Some economists said the bigger-than-expected slowdown in job growth was likely a delayed response to the Middle East conflict, which has raised gasoline prices and boosted inflation. They pointed to a 61,000 drop in leisure and hospitality payrolls, the largest since the pandemic, which the government said reflected "weaker than usual seasonal hiring."

Though gasoline prices have dropped below $4.00 a gallon amid a fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, prices at the pump remain above the national average retail price of $2.98 before the war started at the end of February. Economists said Americans could be eating out less as a result.

The establishment survey also showed the economy created 74,000 fewer jobs in April and May than previously reported.

Washington — On the same morning Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell was hospitalized last month, emergency medical personnel went to his home to respond to an unconscious person who appeared to experience "cardiac arrest," according to a public EMS dispatch call reviewed by CBS News.

During the recording, a dispatcher called in a "cardiac arrest" and a medic said there was "CPR in progress" at McConnell's address. The dispatcher also said somebody was "unconscious." The call came in before 9 a.m. on June 14. The senator's name is not mentioned during the call, and CBS News has not confirmed the identity of the unconscious person.

Audio of the call was first shared by journalist Desiree Townsend.

On the same day as the dispatch call, a spokesperson for McConnell said in a statement that the Kentucky Republican was hospitalized and was "receiving excellent care." No details were provided about why he was admitted or where.

In a statement the next day, the spokesperson said McConnell — who was previously the Senate's top Republican — "is fully engaged with staff on Senate business and Kentucky matters."

That day, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he spoke with McConnell and he "sounded good."

"He's clearly dialed into what's going on," the South Dakota Republican said on June 15. "He's following the stuff we're doing this week up here."

Del Cameron - May 20, 2026

https://www.wired.com/story/the-pentagon-knew-enemies-could-track-troops-phones-for-years-now-they-are/


For nearly a decade, the Pentagon was warned—by its own contractors, analysts, and intelligence agencies—that anyone with a credit card could buy a map of where American troops sleep, work, and store nuclear weapons. Now the bill has come due in a war zone.
A newly disclosed letter shows the warnings went unheeded: US Central Command now confirms it has received “multiple threat reports concerning adversary exploitation of commercial location data to target or surveil US personnel in theater”—the first official acknowledgment that the data-broker economy is being used to hunt American forces in the Middle East.
The targeting was first reported by Reuters, which obtained the Centcom letter. But the confirmation lands atop a record that is longer and more damning than the single document suggests.
