Trump Ignores Juneteenth Once AgainPresident Donald Trump's public schedule for the day makes no mention of Juneteenth, and he has yet to acknowledge the federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the U.S.His schedule only features a stop at Camp David and a meet-and-greet with U.S. Air Force service members at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. On Juneteenth last year, Trump complained on social media that there were “too many nonworking holidays in America” and that they were costing the U.S. “billions of dollars." His complaints came amid his ongoing crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion practices. And his silence around Juneteenth this year comes a day after an appeals court upheld his administration's right to remove a slavery exhibit from the site of President George Washington's former home.Then-President Joe Biden designated Juneteenth a federal holiday in 2021.Latest Live UpdatesStaggering Amounts Of Fentanyl Hit The Streets – And The DEA Reportedly Did NothingEven as it battled the deadliest drug epidemic in American history, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration permitted hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills to hit the streets of New Mexico between 2023 and 2025, according to three current and former DEA agents and government records reviewed by The Associated Press.DEA agents repeatedly monitored shipments of fentanyl pills — but did not seize them — as federal prosecutors sought to bring bigger criminal cases against traffickers of a synthetic opioid that the White House last year designated a “weapon of mass destruction.”Read more from The Associated Press:Filings Reveal Conservative Meddling in Democratic Primaries: CNNNew Federal Election Commission filings show that conservatives sought to meddle in Democratic House primaries by backing candidates they perceived as weaker competitors, according to CNN.

She also noted that the new memorandum of understanding allowed Iran to get relief from oil sanctions and access to frozen assets with far fewer constraints than the Obama administration’s prior agreement.“I opposed this war because it was a stupid war,” Rice said. “... I obviously think we shouldn’t have been in this war in the first place because it was obvious for decades that the only way to resolve this problem is through diplomacy.” Trump Calls For Military Intervention In Chicago After 7 Killed In Weekend ShootingsA spate of shootings in Chicago has led to at least seven deaths and 38 injuries since Friday evening, police say, prompting President Donald Trump to renew his call for a military intervention in the nation’s third-largest city.The office of Illinois Gov.
