Summary

Today’s Headlines: While attending the NATO summit in DC, President Biden doubled down on his commitment to run in the 2024 election, saying he's the best shot at beating Trump. Despite all the chatter, Biden dared other candidates to challenge him and shrugged off his critics. On the other side, Trump managed to get the Republican National Committee to quietly remove the call for a national abortion plan from their platform, even though they still hold strong anti-abortion views. Meanwhile, in California, Governor Gavin Newsom signed a budget that includes $12 million for reparations, focusing on formal apologies and setting up programs without direct payments. In other news, Boeing struck a plea deal over the 737 Max crashes, agreeing to a $243.6 million fine and $455 million for safety programs, though victims' families are calling it a "sweetheart deal." Hurricane Beryl knocked out power for 2 million Texans, and excessive heat warnings are up across the West, breaking temperature records and causing several suspected heat-related deaths. Lastly, during the pandemic, there was a 24% jump in STD diagnoses among seniors 65 and older, much higher than the 5% increase across all age groups.
