Summary

Today’s Headlines: As of Monday night, Trump’s budget bill was stalled in the House as GOP leaders scrambled for votes, holding the floor open and calling members back to D.C. The June jobs report showed a surprise loss of 33,000 private sector jobs—far below expectations—fueling concerns about a slowing economy. In Wisconsin, the state Supreme Court struck down its 1849 abortion ban in a 4–3 ruling, preserving abortion access up to 20 weeks and highlighting the impact of recent judicial elections. Paramount Global will pay Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview, just as it seeks regulatory approval for a $2B merger. At the DOJ, a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter is now working in a Trump-aligned political retaliation unit, while Stephen Miller’s legal group is suing the LA Dodgers for alleged anti-ICE bias. U.S. officials also warned of escalated cyber threats from Iran and its proxy hackers, who claim to have stolen 100GB of Trump-aligned emails. And finally, Sean “Diddy” Combs was found guilty on two federal prostitution charges and now faces up to 20 years in prison.
