In an exclusive report published today, ICE carried out sweeping deportation operations removing convicted murderers, child sex abusers, and gang members from the United States. The Department of Homeland Security says it has deported over 900,000 individuals since January 2025, with border crossings down 94 percent under the Trump administration. Border czar Tom Homan has vowed the pace of enforcement will only accelerate.
Trump-backed Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein defeated Rep. Thomas Massie in Kentucky's GOP primary by nearly 10 points, ending Massie's 14-year House career. The race became the most expensive House primary in history at over $32 million spent, after Massie repeatedly broke with the president on Iran, the Epstein files, and the One Big Beautiful Bill. Trump advisers called it the signature win of the president's 2026 "revenge tour."
House Republicans are advancing a second budget reconciliation bill to fund the ongoing U.S. military campaign against Iran and expand immigration enforcement. Senate Budget Chairman Lindsey Graham — freshly endorsed by Trump — declared the "reconciliation train is leaving the station," with the president calling the plan on track. Democrats, led by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, have called any additional Iran war funding "beyond the pale."
The OECD has cut its U.S. economic growth forecast to 1.6 percent for 2026, citing persistent inflation and the ongoing tariff war as key headwinds. The downgrade landed as Trump's Liberation Day tariffs hit their one-year anniversary, with economists sharply divided on their impact. Administration backers counter with strong data points: manufacturing wages are up 4.3 percent, and small business optimism has remained above its 52-year historical average.
Russia launched a devastating overnight assault on Ukraine, firing 656 strike drones and 73 missiles — including ballistic, cruise, and anti-ship types — killing at least 13 people. Kyiv was struck especially hard, with four dead and 63 injured in the capital alone as thick smoke rose over the city center and Mayor Klitschko urged residents to stay in shelters. The massive attack comes as the U.S. presses both sides toward a peace deal before a June deadline that now looks increasingly in doubt.
Iran launched a ballistic missile at a U.S. military installation in Kuwait following what the Pentagon described as limited, surgical American self-defense strikes on Iranian missile sites and vessels near the Strait of Hormuz. No casualties were reported from the latest exchange, but the ceasefire continues to fracture under repeated violations. Romania has now opened its military infrastructure to U.S. forces as allied pressure builds to keep the strait open.
In a rare sign of internal dissent, senior Russian finance officials are warning President Putin that military spending in Ukraine is becoming financially unsustainable, urging cuts as deficits grow and economic growth stalls. NATO's secretary general says Russia is still losing 25,000 troops per month on the battlefield. Analysts say Moscow's growing desperation is showing in its escalating strikes against Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.
The Trump administration released its first major tranche of declassified UAP documents through the PURSUE program, including never-before-seen Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 mission photos showing strangely shaped objects in the lunar sky. Declassified transcripts reveal Apollo astronauts repeatedly described unexplained lights and objects while orbiting and walking on the moon. Officials say tens of millions of additional documents remain under review, with a second wave of releases coming very soon.
A hiker discovered the remains of Melissa Casias, a 54-year-old Los Alamos National Laboratory employee, in a New Mexico national forest, closing a missing persons case that had attracted heightened scrutiny. Casias had been missing for several weeks and was connected to a broader investigation into scientists linked to sensitive nuclear and defense research. Her death is the eleventh in a troubling pattern of researchers tied to America's nuclear and space programs dying under unusual circumstances.
What should have been a triumphant celebration turned violent as six people were stabbed during Arsenal's Premier League title parade in London, with one man suffering life-threatening injuries and 24 others arrested. Officers made arrests on suspicion of assaulting police, sexual assault, and drug charges, while four police vans were damaged in the chaos. The violence erupted just hours after roughly 800 people were detained in Paris following PSG's UEFA Champions League victory celebration.
