Speaker Mike Johnson has once again lost a battle against hardline conservatives for control of his own House floor " and he has no clear way out.

Gold eased on Tuesday and was on track for its sharpest quarterly decline in 13 years, as inflation concerns stemming from the Middle East conflict reinforced expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve could hike interest rates. Spot gold dropped 0.2% to $4,008.94 an ounce after earlier hitting its lowest level since November. Prices are down 11.3% in June so far. U.S gold futures for August delivery dipped 0.4% to $4,022.70 an ounce. The precious metal was headed for its first quarterly decline since 2024 and its steepest retreat since the June quarter of 2013.
The Supreme Court struck down limits on coordinated spending between candidates and political parties on Tuesday, a win for Republicans that will fundamentally change how tens of millions of dollars are spent in congressional elections. The decision will have an almost immediate impact on the midterms. Removing the limit on coordinated spending effectively gives candidates direct control over a far greater amount of money being spent on their races. It is also likely to increase the flood of political advertising that hits the airwaves each fall. The 6-3 decision, which divided the court along its usual ideological lines, held that the limits violate the First Amendment.
A trio of progressive Democrats sharply criticized billionaires on their way to victory in House primaries in New York City.

A federal judge in Manhattan Monday sentenced self-exiled Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui to 30 years in prison for financial fraud. Guo was convicted in 2024 after transforming himself from wealthy Beijing insider to U.S.-based anti-Communist crusader with prominent conservative allies and a luxury lifestyle. U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres said he had "preyed on people seeking to bring democracy to China," causing more than 1,000 supporters "substantial financial and emotional harm." Guo fled China in 2015 amid an anti-corruption crackdown. "By 2017, he was a member of Mar-a-Lago" and quickly "built political and business connections with some powerful people" in President Donald Trump's orbit, notably Steve Bannon, The New York Times said. Bannon was arrested aboard Guo's yacht in 2020 for allegedly defrauding investors, though "Trump eventually pardoned him." Bannon "has repeatedly called for Guo's freedom," The Wall Street Journal said.

Israeli hypocrisy
On hatemonger Glenn Beck's podcast, Lara Trumpf whined there are only 13 Democrats who signed an inane "Promise to America" pledge vowing to fight against Democratic Socialists like successful NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) or popular Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI): "I do think there are a few reasonable Democrats left out there, the John Fettermans of the world, who see this sort of thing and they're like, 'oh my God, this is the new party. This is the face of our party.'
