• Senate unveils its version of One Big Beautiful Bill: On Monday, the Senate revealed its version of Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. Last month, House Republicans narrowly passed their version. Both versions make the 2017 tax cuts permanent, but the Senate’s sets a lower child tax credit of $2,200 compared to the House’s $2,500. Furthermore, the Senate version includes a new partial deduction for taxes on tips, overtime, and car loan interest, as well as a work requirement for Medicaid, which also applies to adults with dependent children — a provision not required in the House version. One of the most significant differences is that the Senate version maintains the cap on SALT deductions at $10,000. SALT Caucus Republicans had successfully pushed the House version up to $40,000.

• Trump and the G7 summit: Donald Trump cut short his attendance at the G7 summit in Canada last night as the Iranian-Israeli conflict continues. The Group of Seven summit is attended by the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.S., and the UK; the EU is a non-enumerated member, and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum was also invited. The summit began Monday morning and was expected to be fertile ground for hashing out the trade deals Trump has insisted he will achieve via his tariff policy. During his attendance, Trump signed the G7 statement affirming Israel’s right to defend itself as well as condemning Iran as the “principal regional source of instability and terror.” Several leaders, including Shienbaum, who desired to meet with President Trump, have been left in the lurch by his early departure.

• Trump reverses pause on raids on illegal farm workers: Last week, the Department of Homeland Security sent an email to ICE agents directing them to “hold on all worksite enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants, and operating hotels.” This directive came hours after Donald Trump expressed his concern over the impact deportations may have on farmers and hospitality businesses. However, on Monday, DHS issued new guidance reversing last week’s directive. “There will be no safe spaces for industries who harbor violent criminals or purposely try to undermine ICE’s efforts,” explained DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Worksite enforcement remains a cornerstone of our efforts to safeguard public safety, national security and economic stability.”

• Fired ABC News correspondent Terry Moran doubles down: Terry Moran was a senior ABC correspondent until he revealed how much he hates Donald Trump and his allies late one night on X. The now-deleted post argued in detail how hate and spiritual nourishment go hand in hand in the Trump administration. Moran has since clarified, “It wasn’t a drunk tweet,” insisting that the statement was true. He further explained that he’s “not that liberal,” and just because he’s a journalist allegedly covering the news honestly doesn’t mean he needs to be “objective.” ABC explained when firing Moran, “We hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity.” It seems that Moran should’ve taken a closer look at his contract.

• NAACP doesn’t know what fascism is: In a break with its long history, the NAACP announced that it will not invite Donald Trump to its national convention this year. NAACP President Derrick Johnson’s explanation for making this unprecedented decision was purely political, despite insisting that “we’re nonpartisan.” He ridiculously asserted that Trump was attacking “democracy” and “civil rights,” adding, “[Trump] believes more in the fascist playbook than in the U.S. Constitution. This playbook is radical and un-American.” Tellingly, Johnson did not explain how Trump was using a “fascist playbook” but pointed to a number of Trump’s executive orders, claiming, without evidence, that they were unconstitutional. Johnson further asserted, “This administration does not respect the Constitution or the rule of law. It would be a waste of our time and energy to give a platform to fascism, which would be unacceptable.” That’s particularly amusing given the recent history of the Biden administration.

• Democrat politicos incite violence: Democrats continued to nod and wink at political violence during the “No Kings” protests held nationwide on Saturday. Democrat State Rep. Julie von Haefen in North Carolina posted a video from one of the events that included a protester’s sign that read “during these difficult times, some cuts may be necessary” above the image of a guillotine, with a fake bloody Trump head hanging off the sign’s pole. In New Hampshire, Maura Sullivan, a former Marine Corps officer running for the first congressional district there, posted a picture of her with another veteran holding a sign that read “Veterans for Democracy,” “Foxtrot Delta Tango,” and “86 47.” Former FBI Director James Comey found himself in hot water last month for posting a picture of seashells arranged to say “86 47,” a message many interpreted to mean “kill the 47th president.”

• Supporting Rule of Law deters crime: A cloud of fear has gripped the nation’s criminals: fear of being caught and brought to justice. That’s how crime researcher John Lott interprets the staggering drop in murder rates in 2025. Kash Patel says the U.S. is on track to have the lowest murder rate ever, beating the record rate of 4.45/100,000 set in 2014. Patel’s FBI dispersing agents around the country instead of concentrating them in DC has boosted FBI numbers in places where crime occurs. Patel and the Trump administration’s strong support for the Rule of Law is allowing sheriffs and other local law enforcement to do their jobs without fear of political reprisal. In addition to those factors, ICE deportation raids have taken many of the worst criminals off the streets and deterred those who are left for fear of deportation.

• Marijuana’s implications for driving: Marijuana is a mind-altering drug, though advocates have long claimed that its impact on an individual’s motor function is not as significant as alcohol. However, with the legalization of recreational use of marijuana, a new report reveals that cannabis has a much greater impact than many assumed. A recent study conducted by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that 85% of cannabis users reported driving the same day as they used marijuana. Just 19% believed it made their driving worse, while 34% thought it made their driving better. One of the big differences between alcohol and marijuana regarding impairment has to do with the duration it is in one’s system — the effects of marijuana after use remain five times longer than alcohol intoxication. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration report from 2022 found that a third of all drivers arrested for impaired driving tested positive for cannabis.
