Children are using Roblox to stage virtual protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), mirroring real-life demonstrations, with scenes of digital avatars holding signs like "FU ICE" and "ICE Out of California," reported by Latin Times.
Videos of these in-game protests are gaining traction on TikTok, where users roleplay both as protesters and ICE agents, complete with recreated police barricades and vehicles, as noted by journalist Taylor Lorenz.
According to prosecutors, the suspect in the Minnesota shooting targeted four different homes in an attempt to kill lawmakers, but some of the intended victims were not home at the time.
The Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota stated that Vance Boelter had a list of over 45 Minnesota state and federal elected officials in his car, suggesting a broader threat to public officials.
During a windy press event, Trump mistakenly referred to signing a trade agreement with the EU after dropping documents and confusing the UK Prime Minister with EU leadership, appearing unsure of who he was signing the agreement with.
A U.S. judge has extended until June 23 a temporary order blocking President Trump from barring foreign nationals from studying at Harvard, as she considers a request for a full injunction, according to court proceedings.
U.S. District Judge William Young, a Reagan appointee, ruled that the Trump administration’s cuts to NIH grants—linked to executive orders targeting gender ideology and DEI—are "illegal" and "void," ordering many grants to be restored.
In a sharply worded opinion, Young condemned the actions as “palpable” racial and LGBTQ discrimination, calling it “appalling” and unprecedented in his 40 years on the bench.
The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier strike group is heading to the Middle East from the South China Sea ahead of schedule, a U.S. official told Fox News; it will now operate alongside the USS Carl Vinson, marking an overlapping deployment.
In an interview with ABC, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to rule out targeting Iran’s supreme leader and stated that Israel is "well coordinated" with the U.S. in its campaign against Iran.
Minor damage was reported at the U.S. Embassy following Iranian missile strikes in the surrounding area, according to officials.
Utah Senator Mike Lee publicly condemned the Minnesota shootings on his official account, calling for prayers and unity—but on his personal X account, he posted inflammatory memes blaming "Marxists" and mocking Governor Tim Walz, drawing criticism for politicizing the tragedy.
While mainstream GOP figures and the Minnesota Republican Party denounced the violence, Donald Trump shifted tone—initially condemning the shootings, but later attacking Governor Walz as “grossly incompetent.” Trump has still not called Walz following the attack.
At the G7 summit, Donald Trump called for Russia to be readmitted to the group, claiming the war in Ukraine would have been avoided if Moscow had remained a member—a stance at odds with the G7’s collective values.
Speaking alongside Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Trump defended Vladimir Putin just a day before his scheduled meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, marking their first encounter since April.
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case involving a New Jersey crisis pregnancy center’s effort to block a state investigation into allegedly deceptive practices, a move that could test states' authority to regulate anti-abortion organizations.
The Trump Organization has launched "Trump Mobile," a new mobile phone service featuring a $499 gold smartphone and a $47.45 monthly plan, both branding references to Trump’s second presidency.
The venture, run by Donald Jr. and Eric Trump, raises fresh conflict-of-interest concerns, as it enters a sector regulated by U.S. agencies while Trump retains executive authority over them.
See you in the morning.
