Summary

Today’s Headlines: The US has approved $20 billion in arms sales to Israel, but don’t expect those fighter jets and missiles to arrive anytime soon—these are long-term contracts aimed at strengthening Israel’s defenses for years to come. In other news, Project 2025’s training videos, published by ProPublica, reveal plans to overhaul the federal government, including tips on dodging FOIA requests and outmaneuvering “left-wing” judges. Despite Trump’s attempts to distance himself, most of the speakers involved had ties to his administration. Meanwhile Donald and Elon Musk are now facing federal labor charges after their Twitter Spaces chat led to accusations of anti-union behavior. Arizona and Missouri have secured spots for abortion rights initiatives on their November ballots, with more states possibly joining soon. The Biden-Harris administration is also making moves with their “Time Is Money” initiative to curb corporate practices that waste consumers’ time, and Biden announced $150 million in grants for the Cancer Moonshot program. Tropical Storm Ernesto is set to become a Category 3 hurricane, threatening Puerto Rico with potential power outages. And finally, the Olympics Court of Arbitration rejected the US’s appeal over Jordan Chiles’ bronze medal, while Algerian boxer Imane Khelief filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk and JK Rowling for cyber harassment.
