• Musk threatens to primary Republicans over OBBBA: Elon Musk has once again weighed into politics as he seeks to prevent Republicans from passing Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. On Monday, Musk warned Republicans that he would back primary challenges against those who voted for the bill, posting on X: “It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country — the PORKY PIG PARTY!!” He then added, “Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people.” Musk specifically called out Reps. Andy Harris (MD) and Chip Roy (TX), asking, “How can you call yourself the Freedom Caucus if you vote for a DEBT SLAVERY bill with the biggest debt ceiling increase in history?” Musk promised to form a new America Party if the bill passes.

• Los Angeles sued by Trump: During his presidential campaign, Donald Trump promised the largest deportation effort in history, and he seems committed to meeting that promise. A total of 58 cities in California have declared themselves “sanctuary cities” for illegal aliens. The Trump administration claims these designations are illegal and is suing to end them. Los Angeles’s policy prohibits police officers from sharing information about illegal immigrants with ICE and provides legal protections to those illegals. Trump’s administration contends these policies have led to “lawlessness, rioting, looting, and vandalism” in the wake of the protests/riots that began on June 6. If the suit is successful, a federal court will block enforcement of Los Angeles’s sanctuary city ordinances.

• Alligator Alcatraz grand opening: Donald Trump will attend the grand opening of “Alligator Alcatraz” in Florida today. The facility meant to house detained illegal aliens was built in record time, with construction happening over seven days on land seized from Miami-Dade County by the state. Located in the Florida wetlands, the facility thought up by state Attorney General James Uthmeier will serve as a deterrent for illegal immigration and an incentive to self-deport. Florida Democrats argue the facility’s location in a hurricane-prone area is one of many reasons against it ever operating, but as the executive director of the Florida GOP points out, “They can’t get stuck in a hurricane if they self-deport.”

• Harvard violated Title VI: The Office for Civil Rights in the Department of Health and Human Services has found Harvard “in violent violation” of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination “on the ground of race, color, or national origin.” This is the latest in a string of moves the Trump administration has made to rein in anti-Semitic discrimination on Ivy League campuses. The letter gives examples of the discrimination, including Jewish students being spat upon, graffiti of a Star of David with a dollar sign inside, and “protests” that included calls for genocide. The letter informs Harvard that it is at risk of losing all federal resources and an ongoing negative relationship with the federal government. Harvard disputes the charges, claiming it has already taken significant steps to mitigate anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim bias.

• Colorado firebombing victim dies: Karen Diamond, an 82-year-old victim of the anti-Semitic firebomber in Boulder, Colorado, has died from the burn injuries she sustained in that attack one month ago. The perpetrator, Mohamed Soliman, has now been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, along with his prior charges of 52 counts of attempted murder, among other charges. The Egyptian national, who had overstayed his visa by the time of the attack, expressed hatred for Jews, telling police he wanted to “kill all Zionist people” and “wished they all were dead.” The group of primarily elderly demonstrators he attacked that day was holding a peaceful “Run for Their Lives” walk to show solidarity with the Israeli hostages held by Hamas.

• Punk-rap punks banned: Over the weekend at the Glastonbury music festival in Pilton, Somerset, England, the British punk-rap duo Bob Vylan led the crowd in chanting “death, death to the IDF” (Israeli Defense Forces) and “From the river to the sea, Palestine must be, will be, inshallah, it will be free.” Well, thanks to their expressed anti-Semitism, the duo will no longer be allowed into the U.S. In a post on X, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau issued the following statement: “The State Department has revoked the US visas for the members of the Bob Vylan band in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants.” Landau added, “Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country.”

• Iranian nuclear capability “very seriously damaged”: In an interview taped Friday, International Atomic Energy Agency Director Rafael Grossi put the final nail in the coffin of the “Operation Midnight Hammer didn’t destroy the nuclear facilities” narrative. As Grossi explained, the Iranian capabilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan to enrich uranium “have been destroyed to an important degree.” Grossi quoted the Iranian foreign minister, Dr. Abbas Araghchi, who said: “I have to say, the losses have not been small, and our facilities have been seriously damaged.” Grossi explained that the IAEA’s mission is not to assess damage but to understand what nuclear activities take place; it will take the Iranians sifting through the rubble to know what, if any, capability remains in those sites. Reminder: Take everything the Iranians say with a massive block of salt.

• Mamdani wants white NYC residents to pay more taxes: Brandishing his woke Marxist ideology during a recent interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” New York City Democrat mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani defended his plan to have “white neighborhoods” pay more taxes. When NBC’s Kristen Welker noted his website’s policy to “shift the tax burden from over-taxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods,” Mamdani tried to spin it as “not driven by race” but rather “more of an assessment of what neighborhoods are being under-taxed versus over-taxed.” He further justified the tax increases by noting, “We are talking about our tax base growing smaller and smaller each day.” Mamdani also argued that he didn’t believe billionaires should be allowed to exist. The irony is not only that Mamdani’s plan is blatantly racist but that, if realized, it will only serve to further erode the city’s already dwindling wealthy tax base, resulting in less tax revenue.
