It seems all might not be well in Melania Trump's marriage. The first lady, 56, has been married to Donald Trump since 2005 and it's safe to say they've faced their share of ups and downs over the years. According to Michael Wolff's book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, the pair sleep in separate rooms at the White House, with the president allegedly requesting a key so he could lock the door of his room. Even Melania's first meeting with her now-husband raised eyebrows as he was on a date with another woman at the time. Their relationship has now been dragged into the spotlight again, with Wolff claiming the couple "barely speak." The comments come after a body language expert suggested the president and first lady seemed "tense" while at the 2026 World Cup final.
The Trump administration's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has dropped its controversial demand that the University of Pennsylvania provide records related to all Jewish faculty and staff as part of its investigation into alleged antisemitism on campus. In return, Penn has agreed to dismiss its appeal to the 3rd Circuit, possibly ending a monthslong legal battle over whether the federal government could compel the university to identify employees based on their religious affiliation or national origin. Penn claimed victory with the latest agreement, saying the action "vindicated" the university.

Oil prices hit $100 a barrel for the first time since May as the escalating conflict in the Middle East reignited fears over global energy supplies. Brent crude - the global benchmark for oil prices - rose more than 6% on Thursday following several days of increases as the US stepped up military strikes against Iran.

The US Senate failed to advance a resolution that would have directed Dummkopf Trumpf to withdraw US forces from hostilities against Iran. Lawmakers have argued that in the US campaign against Iran, Trumpf has illicitly usurped Congress' exclusive power to declare war.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced Tuesday the recall of nearly 20 million eggs produced in Texas due to fears over Salmonella. The FDA says Midwest Poultry Services issued the voluntary recall of almost 1.6 million dozens of white-shell, brown-shell eggs and cage-free eggs "because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis." The eggs were produced and distributed from Texas farms beginning June 6 and ending July 3, with sell-by dates ranging from July 20 through August 17.
A congressional candidate from Louisiana who was the subject of a police report accusing him of rape " which he denies " says he is hoping to again "earn" Donald Trump's endorsement as he considers precisely where to run amid redistricting. The candidate, Blake Miguez, is weighing running in one of two districts, neither of which he lives in but in which he is allowed to run. He has been mulling that choice after the supreme court's landmark decision in Callais v Louisiana prompted the state to swiftly redraw its US House districts " and after he had secured the president's backing under the previous congressional map. Miguez's campaign has also had to grapple with an Atlantic report that he had not disclosed to Trump's team the existence of a 2007 rape accusation reported to local law enforcement on the same day of the alleged assault.
A Pentagon website has removed the names of four U.S. service members killed in Donald Trump's war with Iran from its list of casualties. The Defense Casualty Analysis System, a Defense Department website that keeps track of those killed during Operation Epic Fury, currently has a tally of seven "hostile" and seven "non-hostile" casualties, for a total of 14. But that's four less than the number of deaths the site had listed on Wednesday, The New York Times reported. Yet three military officials told the Times that one reason for the change was because the troops' deaths took place after Trump declared a cease fire in April.
Calling him a "thug," detestable Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville (R) brayed that NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) be arrested and sent to the infamous torture prison at Guantanamo Bay for correctly calling ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu an "architect of genocide," responsible for a series of atrocities in Gaza (~75,000 Palestinians murdered, per The Lancet UK).
Perfect message from NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D)
