President Donald Trump has revealed that a group of wealthy individuals is preparing to acquire TikTok, with an announcement expected within the next two weeks. However, the deal remains subject to approval by the platform’s Chinese owners, adding another layer of complexity to an already drawn-out saga. In an interview aired June 29 on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Trump stated, “We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way.

Former U.S. President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris attended the funeral of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman on Saturday, in a ceremony marked by grief, unity, and calls for justice. Hortman and her husband, David, were fatally shot last week in what authorities have classified as a politically motivated assassination. The memorial, held at the Cathedral of Saint Paul, drew hundreds of mourners, including lawmakers, civic leaders, and members of the public.

The bill, a central part of Trump’s second-term agenda, could come to a vote as early as this weekend as Republicans race to pass it before the July 4 deadline.

According to reports from both the Associated Press and NBC News on June 27, the terminations were confirmed by anonymous sources and a letter signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi addressed to one of the dismissed attorneys.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has sharply criticized the ongoing corruption trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling it a “political witch hunt” and warning that the United States “is not going to stand for this.” His comments have drawn both support and criticism amid ongoing geopolitical tensions involving Israel, Iran, and Hamas. Netanyahu, who was indicted in 2019 on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, has consistently denied any wrongdoing. His trial, which began in 2020, involves three separate criminal cases and has faced repeated delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing regional conflicts. He…

Speaking candidly on June 27, Eric Trump, 41, reflected on the impact political life has had on his family, suggesting that while the decision would depend on personal considerations, he believes the path to candidacy would be feasible for him. “The real question is: ‘Do you want to drag other members of your family into it?’” he said. “Would I want my…

As the U.S. government pushes to bring back manufacturing through aggressive tariff policies, questions are emerging about the country’s readiness to meet the demands of such a shift. While tariffs are intended to encourage domestic production, the reality on the ground—labor shortages, infrastructure challenges, and rising costs—paints a far more complex picture. The Labor Crisis on the Factory Floor Lisa Winton, CEO and co-founder of Winton Machine in Atlanta, has been searching for a qualified salesperson since March. The need for machinists is even more pressing—one position has been open for over a year with barely a dozen applicants, none…

However, the final fate of the bill remains uncertain as divisions within the GOP persist. Key Senate Vote Begins Debate On June 28, the Senate voted 51-49 to begin formal debate on the nearly 940-page package.

Near midnight on June 28, Republicans released an updated draft of the legislation that includes Medicaid cuts, increased immigration enforcement funding, and the elimination of taxes on tips and overtime wages. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has been working to deliver Trump a major legislative victory, but internal GOP divisions and parliamentary obstacles are complicating the path forward. Thune acknowledged on June 27 that while he hopes…
