Russia and Ukraine hold fast to their demands ahead of a planned Putin-Trump summit
SUMMARY: Russian President Vladimir Putin remains firm on maximalist demands in the Ukraine war, seeking a summit with former U.S. President Trump to pressure Kyiv into a deal favoring Moscow. Russia demands Ukraine withdraw from annexed regions, halt mobilization, freeze Western arms aid, and abandon NATO ambitions, while recognizing Russian territorial gains and language status. Ukraine rejects these terms, insisting on sovereignty, NATO membership, and no recognition of Russian annexations. Trump’s planned meeting with Putin raises concerns about potential concessions to Russia. Experts predict Putin aims for Ukraine’s capitulation, but a lasting peace deal seems unlikely, with conflict expected to continue.

Hundreds cheer Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego as Democrats take offensive against Trump’s tax bill
SUMMARY: Sen. Ruben Gallego, a first-term Arizona Democrat, energized a crowd of 300 in Davenport, Iowa, opposing the Republican-backed tax and spending bill signed by President Trump, calling it detrimental to Americans’ health and wealth. Democrats, frustrated with Trump’s policies, are mobilizing against the bill, especially its Medicaid cuts and work requirements. Unlike some Republicans avoiding public meetings, Democrats are actively campaigning in competitive Republican districts ahead of the 2026 midterms. The bill is widely seen as favoring the wealthy and hurting low-income people. Progressive figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders are also rallying opposition to the legislation nationwide.
