Musk forms new political party after split with Trump over president’s signature tax cuts law
SUMMARY: Elon Musk announced the formation of the America Party after breaking with President Donald Trump over his recent tax cuts law. Musk criticized the bill for increasing government waste and the national debt by \$5 trillion, calling it a “disgusting abomination.” Despite previously supporting Trump and spending millions in the 2024 election, Musk now aims to use the new party to influence the 2026 midterms. While multiple groups claiming the America Party name have appeared, none seem authentic. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested Musk’s announcement might face opposition from his company boards urging him to focus on business instead.

Protesters take to South Florida streets to speak out against Trump’s immigration policies
SUMMARY: Protesters in South Florida rallied for the second consecutive day against the Trump administration’s immigration policies, particularly after ICE received additional funding and a new detention center opened in the Everglades. Demonstrators gathered outside the Broward Transitional Center, where Marie Ange Blaise, a 44-year-old Haitian woman, died in ICE custody in April. Democratic Congresswoman Sheila McCormack called for a hearing to investigate Blaise’s death amid concerns over the treatment of immigrants. Organizers and protesters condemned the new detention facility, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” citing its dangerous location surrounded by wildlife and inhumane conditions. ICE’s funding increase supports more agents and facilities.
CBS News Miami’s Steve Maugeri was there during the demonstrations.

Iran’s supreme leader makes first public appearance since Iran-Israel war started
SUMMARY: Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made his first public appearance since the 12-day war with Israel began, attending a mourning ceremony in Tehran. During the conflict, Khamenei stayed in a bunker amid heightened threats. The war involved Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and Iranian missile retaliation, causing over 900 Iranian deaths and significant nuclear facility damage. Iran has since suspended cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog. The ceremony commemorated the martyrdom of Hussein, a pivotal figure in Shiite Islam, reflecting deep religious and political significance in Iran’s identity and current tensions.
