US Politics
Protests at ICE facilities have intensified. In Chicago, federal authorities uncovered an explosive device and seized firearms during a riot at the Broadview Processing Center, leading to 11 arrests. In Portland, clashes with protesters have escalated, with police retreating after an officer was injured. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has ordered National Guard troops to Portland for 60 days, despite objections from local leaders. Oregon Governor Tina Kotek has called this deployment an ‘abuse of power,’ arguing that it could further inflame tensions, as reported by The Washington Post. Similar unrest at ICE facilities across the country has prompted federal interventions.
In Michigan, a shooting at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township resulted in at least three deaths, including the suspect, 40-year-old US Marine veteran Thomas Jacob Sanford, and nine injuries. According to authorities, Sanford drove his truck into the church, opened fire, and set the building on fire before being killed in a police shootout. The FBI has deployed 100 agents to investigate, with reports indicating an explosive device was found near the scene. CNN has reported that children are among the wounded, adding to the tragedy’s severity.
In other developments, the investigation into the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk continues to raise questions. New video evidence and eyewitness accounts reportedly conflict with the FBI’s assertion that suspect Tyler Robinson acted alone, with footage allegedly showing a shooter on a rooftop and discrepancies in the bullet’s trajectory. Independent analyses circulating online suggest a possible shot from behind, contrary to official reports. Additionally, Utah Valley University, where the incident occurred, has removed online profiles of seven professors reportedly linked to intelligence agencies, including a former CIA operative, though no evidence of institutional involvement has been confirmed. The FBI has reiterated that Robinson acted alone, urging the public to rely on official sources, as noted by FactCheck.org.
Lastly, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on social media that she is “not suicidal” while advocating for transparency in the Jeffrey Epstein case, suggesting concerns about potential threats if silenced. Representative Ro Khanna, who co-hosted a victims’ press conference, emphasized the bipartisan need for justice in the case, per Reuters.
Geopolitics
Tensions are rising globally, with Ukraine at the center of several developments. The Russian Foreign Ministry has warned of a potential escalation to World War III, citing alleged Ukrainian plans for a false flag operation using repaired Russian drones to target NATO facilities in Poland and Romania. Hungarian media reports, amplified by Russian officials, claim this could be a disinformation campaign to blame Moscow, though no verifiable evidence has been provided. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has dismissed these allegations as baseless propaganda, calling for international scrutiny of Russian claims, as reported by Reuters.
In a related update, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that Israel has supplied a Patriot missile system, which has been operational for weeks, with two more expected this fall. This marks a shift from Israel’s previous hesitation to arm Ukraine due to its relationship with Russia. Russia Today has criticized this move, suggesting it could strain Russia-Israel relations, as noted in their coverage.
Meanwhile, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has proposed using up to €140 billion in frozen Russian assets as a loan to Ukraine, guaranteed by the EU, to push Moscow toward peace talks, despite legal and economic reservations from other European leaders. Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever has expressed concerns about potential Russian retaliation and financial risks, as reported by Reuters.
Elsewhere, sources reportedly familiar with the matter report that the United States is considering drone strikes on Venezuelan drug cartels, potentially targeting command and control nodes within weeks. This follows recent military actions against drug boats in the Caribbean. Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro has denied involvement in narco-trafficking. President Trump has publicly indicated a willingness to use military power to address the drug crisis, which results in approximately 100,000 deaths annually in the US, though no final decision on strikes has been confirmed. Maduro has denounced these plans as “imperialist aggression,” asserting Venezuela’s independent fight against drug trafficking, as covered by El País.
Health
A coalition of 16 states and the District of Columbia has filed a lawsuit in Oregon against the Trump administration over a Department of Health and Human Services order to remove references to gender identity from federally funded K-12 sex education programs. The lawsuit claims the mandate violates congressional spending authority and conflicts with state laws on inclusive curricula, potentially risking a $35 million loss in funding. Defendants include Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has publicly expressed support for the administration’s focus on biological definitions of sex. However, Acting Assistant Secretary for HHS Andrew Gradison has defended the order, stating it ensures federal funds align with congressional intent and biological realities, as reported by Fox News.
