President Donald Trump announced he is canceling planned attacks on Iran, citing progress in talks. He said the pause is contingent on "being able to rapidly make a DEAL," comments that come a day after US officials said new strikes could take place as soon as this weekend.
Louisiana retailers can no longer charge customers extra for using debit cards under a new state law that took effect Saturday, giving consumers new legal protections and expanding the attorney general's authority to enforce the ban. Senate Bill 254 prohibits retail businesses from imposing a surcharge on customers who pay with a debit card instead of cash, check, credit card or another form of payment. The law defines a surcharge as any additional amount charged by a retail business that increases the cost of a transaction for the privilege of using a debit card. It does not apply to credit card transactions. Consumers who are assessed an unlawful debit card surcharge may recover actual damages from the retailer. Before filing a lawsuit, however, the customer must provide written notice of the alleged violation.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke to President Trump on Saturday and expressed concern over his plans for massive new strikes against Iran, according to two U.S. officials and a third source with knowledge of the call.
Why it matters: Trump is seriously considering attacking Iranian energy targets in the coming days in response to Iran's missile strike on a U.S. base in Jordan and its continued disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. He has yet to issue final orders. Read more
Nick Adams' Foundation for Liberty and American Greatness has brought in millions in donations and helped him land a State Department appointment, but records show there is almost no indication FLAG was spending that money on its stated mission.
Trump publicly broke with one of his closest political allies Saturday, criticizing U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro over her office's decision to drop a high-profile vandalism case involving the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Trump rejected the Friday decision from Pirro's office to move to dismiss felony charges against former Olympic canoeist David Hearn after prosecutors concluded that newly disclosed evidence showed the damage to the pool stemmed largely from flawed contractor work rather than vandalism. "I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "I don't know what she was thinking?" Read more
We Now Have the Leading Charge in Trump's Next Impeachment
Why is the president willing to withdraw Todd Blanche's nomination? The answer constitutes a blatant high crime and misdemeanor.
One can sense that John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, the two outgoing Republican senators who have suddenly developed the backbone to maybe vote against the attorney general nominee now that they're not facing their voters again, represent a far more broadly (if privately) held view in the Senate GOP that the man is manifestly unqualified.
Federal officials on Friday released an updated framework for the Colorado River, requiring Arizona, California and Nevada to significantly reduce their water use in the coming years. The plan, released by the Interior Department's Bureau of Reclamation, reduces the water available for use by the three states by 3 million acre-feet in the coming decade. One acre-foot is enough water for as many as four households to use for a whole year. The cuts represent the largest proposed cuts for those states to date
On July 28, 2026, a Republican-led Senate committee questioned Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a leading face of the U.S. government's COVID-19 response, over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the hearing, Fauci declined to answer by invoking his Fifth Amendment rights more than 100 times. The Fifth Amendment protects people from answering self-incriminating questions. In a November 2022 decision to appoint a court monitor to oversee the Trump family businesses during his civil fraud trial, a judge wrote (PDF Page 9) that Trump invoked "his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination more than 400 times in response to questions posed to him during his deposition." Trump and his defense team did not appear to contest that statement.
The US destroyed a family home on Iran's Qeshm Island, killing a husband and wife and their two-year-old son with a 2,000-pound munition called a Mark-84, one of the largest conventional bombs used by the US military; the couple's two other children were miraculously pulled from the rubble alive.
Unit cost of a single Mark-84: $16,000
Concern is mounting among high-ranking Republicans that the next generation of conservatives consists primarily of "rabid" "idiot" Nazis, according to a new report. GOP veterans have begun to fret that the pipeline feeding young conservative "talent" into government job has collapsed under the pressure of a Trumpist ideology that prefers sycophancy to smarts, Politico reported Saturday. "We have a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots," a senior GOP congressional staffer told Politico. "The organizations that bring young staffers to Washington, D.C. have spent the last decade prioritizing blind ideological loyalty instead of competence or intelligence." Read more
A top U.S. general is reportedly warning the Pentagon he does not have the resources to "protect" Israel from incoming ballistic missiles amid the ongoing Iran war. The Washington Post's Dan Lamothe reported on Saturday that Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, the head of U.S. European Command, sent a written warning to leaders at the Pentagon saying that "without another Navy destroyer he will be forced to choose defense of the United States 'homeland' over that of Israel," according to officials speaking on the condition of anonymity. Grynkewich is requesting another Navy destroyer ship in order to "protect" Israel. The warning comes as the U.S. military has stretched resources to create a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) arrested a spy who activated over 1,000 Starlink satellite communication systems inside Ukraine on Russia's orders. The Russian military uses Felon Musk's Starlink satellite internet to conduct attacks, particularly for Shahed drone strikes.
