In the aftermath of a pair of earthquakes in Venezuela on Wednesday, President Donald Trump quickly spread the word that America is “ready, willing, and able” to provide necessary assistance to those impacted by the natural disaster.  As The Hill reported, Trump addressed the matter late that evening in a social media post: “The two major earthquakes that just hit the great people of Venezuela are both massive in scale and have left a devastating number of deaths,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The U.S.A. stands ready, willing, and able to help!” A magnitude 7.2 earthquake hit roughly 14.3 miles southeast of Yumare, Venezuela, followed by 7.5 magnitude tremor, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The second earthquake hit about 17.4 miles southeast of Yumare, the USGS noted. Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez said in an address on state television early Thursday that more than 160 people have died and at least 971 were injured during the joint natural disasters, The Associated Press reported. The USGS also outlined the likelihood of high casualties and damage from the disasters, noting the impact from the quakes is “likely widespread.” Details about the aftermath of the quakes soon began to surface on social media:   Another building that probably hadn’t been rebuilt in decades due to the Communist Maduro, starts falling apart during the 7.2 earthquake in Caracas Venezuela. There’s a huge probability that this same building completely fell during the 7.5 minutes later. #termoto https://t.co/1D2G1Jrb0I pic.twitter.com/29tFs5eagO — B.

Rodríguez said on social media that a state of emergency had been declared and she urged “all citizens to remain alert, safe, and as calm as possible.” What we’re watching: As search and rescue efforts continued into Thursday, U.S. officials had already “mobilized a disaster assistance team and task force to deliver and coordinate critical assistance to the Venezuelan people,” according to Jeremy Lewin, under secretary for foreign assistance at the State Department. Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote on X early Thursday that the U.S. was “immediately deploying search and rescue teams, medical resources, and humanitarian assistance to Venezuela.” Here’s the view from a baseball game in Caracas at the time of the initial quake: WATCH: Moment Strong Earthquake Shakes During Baseball Game in Caracas, Venezuela pic.twitter.com/9CZm75hhOA — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) June 24, 2026   What are your thoughts?

Reports indicated it turned into something of a shouting match, but in the end, both sides seem to have come to a conclusion.  A group of Senate Republicans, including those who voted in favor of a resolution to limit the president’s war powers in Iran, met with Trump to discuss their concerns on Wednesday. Shortly thereafter, another vote on the matter showed a clear reversal, with previous skeptics changing their vote to align with the White House’s position. Fox News provided this breakdown of the events: What seemed like a predetermined outcome just hours after Trump and Sen. Bill Cassidy,R-La., sparred over the Iran war, and the administration’s lack of forthcomingness with lawmakers, during a closed-door meeting to discuss the president’s marquee voter ID and citizenship verification legislation turned into a surprise late night win. Trump argued to the GOP that the previous war powers resolution, which passed on Tuesday thanks in part to a pair of Republicans being absent, hurt the administration’s negotiating position with the Iranians. Meetings with key holdouts at the White House helped change the minds of Cassidy and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who has routinely voted with Democrats on every war powers resolution brought forward, and provided the administration with a win as they work toward a deal beyond the 60-day memorandum of understanding with Iran. “I want to thank Vice President [JD] Vance and Special Envoy [Steve] Witkoff for the thorough briefing this afternoon on Iran,” Cassidy said on X. “I appreciate the quick invitation to the White House to address many of my concerns.” And Paul, who voted present, noted that his “opinion on the debate over war and executive power has not changed and I have voted that way several times.”  “But since hostilities seem to be over and the President asked me to give consideration to his negotiating position, I will do so,” Paul said on X. “My vote of present is a way to give the President more space and leverage to negotiate a lasting peace.” Trump addressed the development in a social media post that attracted significant support from commenters: Weakening the President during active foreign negotiations was a terrible look.

RINO ⚜️⚜️ — Louisiana Charm (@CajunCharm24) June 25, 2026 Here’s some additional coverage from NewsNation: Earlier Wednesday, Trump canceled plans to sign a bipartisan housing affordability bill, telling senators that he won’t be signing until the SAVE America Act is passed. That was the biggest point of contention heading into a meeting with Senate Republicans, announcing he was not signing this housing bill Wednesday because he is demanding that the Senate pass the SAVE America Act.  This is not the first time President Trump has made that demand. He’s actually delayed part of his own agenda, including delaying a nominee for a director of national intelligence and delaying FISA, an important national security bill, until his SAVE America Act is passed.  Surprisingly, that did not come up very much in the meeting, according to senators who were inside the room, with very little pushback from Senate Republicans on that point.

As we get closer to America’s 250th birthday in just over a week, celebrations are taking place in the capital city of Washington, D.C. Today, President Trump officially kicked off the much-anticipated Great American State Fair with a giant rally at the National Mall. Thousands of patriots gathered for the event, and President Trump personally delivered remarks towards the end of the rally. Watch a clip from his speech here: .@POTUS: Tonight, right here on our National Mall, we are beginning the most unforgettable birthday party any country has ever seen.

This evening, it is my honor to officially kick off the celebration with The Great American State Fair. From today through July 10th, this event will showcase all 56 states and territories. There will be military flyovers, special performances, patriotic music, high tech demonstrations, unique exhibitions, a FIFA Fan Zone, and even an old-fashioned Rodeo. Then, on July 4th, we will have the greatest show of all on the National Mall as we ring in our 250th year with the largest fireworks display in world history. We will set an official world record, with 100x more fireworks than the typical July 4th. Then, in August, we will have the Patriot Games — a first-of-its-kind competition featuring the greatest high school athletes from across the United States. And soon thereafter, we will have the Freedom 250 Grand Prix here in Washington D.C. Before this, there were multiple musical performances — including from country music singer Lee Greenwood, who sang ‘God Bless the USA’ as President Trump entered the stage. Watch that moment here: JUST IN: President Trump just WALKED OUT to a ROARING CROWD on the National Mall as Lee Greenwood sings “God Bless the USA” LIVE 47 loves it!

All he wants is to save America! pic.twitter.com/snW6BSmj3P — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) June 25, 2026 We don’t have the exact numbers yet, but over one-thousand Americans from all walks of life showed up to celebrate the kick-off event. NBC News shared some reactions from the crowd: People began arriving for the kickoff in the late afternoon, grabbing American flag placards and seats on the lawn. Others sought shade in a picnic area, where members of a Bible ministry from Florida offered to pray for passersby. Merchandise tables sold red “America Is Back” baseball caps, in the style of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” hats, and an assortment of Freedom 250 shirts, scarves and knickknacks. Concessionaires sold snacks and soft drinks. More than one attendee expressed disappointment after walking into a stand advertising beer and being informed no alcohol was available. Roughly half of those in Wednesday’s crowd of more than 1,000 wore Trump’s slogans or likeness on their clothes. For them, America’s 250th birthday was secondary to an opportunity to see the president. “This is my 116th Trump rally,” said Edward X. Young of Brick, New Jersey. “I believe in President Trump.” He added, noting Trump’s two, nonconsecutive terms: “I believe our two greatest presidents ever were 47 and 45.” Young — who wore a Hawaiian shirt depicting Trump on a surfboard over a “Fight! Fight Fight!” T-shirt calling back to the 2024 assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania — also recalled celebrating America’s bicentennial 50 years ago in Boston. “I’m 66 years old,” Young said. “How could I miss out? I even tell my liberal friends: Put the politics aside; this is history.” Shannon Silveri, a Washington-area resident who described herself as sympathetic to Trump, said she viewed the night as a “nonpartisan” celebration. “I would not miss this day for anything,” Silveri said. “It’s the opening, the kickoff, celebrating America’s 250. This is a huge birthday. We want to have another 250 years to leave to our next generation.” Waiting outside a food pavilion, Mary Smith, of North Ridgeville, Ohio, described herself as “MAGA-ish.” Trump, she said, was not the main factor in her decision to travel here. “I remember celebrating the bicentennial when I was a kid, and I wanted to be here for this,” Smith said. “To me, it doesn’t matter who the president is. It’s still my country. I’m very proud and thankful that I live here.” “I would be here,” Smith added, “no matter who the president was.” While the festivities began tonight, the Great American State Fair will officially open to the American public tomorrow. It will run through July 10. If you want to watch the full opening rally, it’s available right here: What are your thoughts?

Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold has been arrested in connection with an alleged armed robbery and kidnapping that occurred in Florida earlier this year. Arnold, who was selected by the Lions in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft, voluntarily surrendered to authorities. According to the Florida state attorney’s office in Hillsborough County, Arnold faced an arrest warrant for the alleged crimes. “Arnold turned himself in and was taken into custody at Orient Road Jail in Hillsborough County on Wednesday night. He is facing 4 counts of kidnapping and 4 counts of armed robbery,” the City of Tampa stated in a release. #Lions CB Terrion Arnold has been arrested in connection with an armed robbery and kidnapping in Tampa, Florida, earlier this year, and is facing multiple felony charges that carry a maximum sentence of life in prison. The case will be filed with @HillsboroughSAO. pic.twitter.com/wPhwm1UMW2 — Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) June 25, 2026 More from The Detroit News: According to a press release from the Florida state attorney’s office, Arnold will have criminal charges filed against him and “is facing multiple felony charges which carry a potential sentence of up to life in prison.” “Arnold is accused of coordinating and directing the codefendants to lure three men to an apartment where the victims were robbed, beaten and held at gunpoint,” the statement from the state attorney’s office said. “Arnold believed the victims in the case stole more than $200,000 worth of his personal items during a stay in his AirBNB property, although there is no evidence to prove the victims were involved in the theft.” In a statement provided to The Detroit News, Arnold’s representation denied “any involvement in the matters underlying the allegations made against him and maintains his innocence.” “There is no credible evidence linking Mr. Arnold to these allegations. Instead, the government appears to be relying on testimony from multiple convicted felons who have admitted their own involvement and may have substantial incentives to shift blame in an effort to lessen their sentences,” the statement, signed by Denise White, CEO of EAG Sports Management, said. It concludes, “Mr. Arnold looks forward to his day in court and is confident that the judicial process will lead to his ultimate conviction.” “Investigators believe, based on evidence gathered, that Arnold was the primary conspirator,” the City of Tampa stated in the release. “No one has the right to take the law into their own hands. A dispute over missing property does not justify kidnapping, violence or retaliation. This arrest is the result of months of investigative work and collaboration between the Tampa police department and our prosecutors. We will continue to pursue justice for the three victims by holding everyone accountable for their roles in this crime,” State attorney Suzy Lopez said, according to The Detroit News. According to police and prosecution records, Tampa Police identified #Lions CB Terrion Arnold as the primary conspirator in a targeted armed robbery and kidnapping on Feb. 4 that left three victims injured after they were held at gunpoint, beaten, and pistol-whipped.

Two other co-defendants “pleaded guilty to their roles in the crime” in a June 24 hearing. One of those who pleaded guilty was sentenced to four years in prison followed by six years of probation; the other “entered an open plea with the court, and sentencing will be set off to a later date.” Read the full release from the City of Tampa HERE.

Some Virginia residents said they contend with constant noise from a data center beside their neighborhood, which produces a “high pitched whine.” “Neighbors have put mattresses and plexiglass up in their windows to block the noise from this data center in Virginia,” NewsNation senior national correspondent Brian Entin said. “It’s a high pitched whine from the natural gas turbines that power it. The noise never stops 24/7,” he added. According to NewsNation, the enormous facility was never hooked up the power grid. The generators are its only source of electricity. “We were told in the beginning that they test the generators to make sure they’re working in case of an emergency,” one resident told Entin. “And then as the year and the months have gone on, they’re just never turned off,” she added. “You just hear this noise,” another resident commented. “You just want to curse. It’s that bad,” he added. Some residents have gone as far as putting plexiglass against the window to block the noise or using sound meters to monitor the noise.

There are positives with data centers. They create jobs when they are built, and they generate local tax revenue that can help schools and lower property taxes. And they are pretty much inevitable with the way we use technology, arguably becoming essential infrastructure. Neighbors of the Vantage data center don’t disagree with some of these points, and they don’t hate all data centers. But they don’t think they should be built so close to neighborhoods. Hari’s advice to people who learn of plans for new data centers near them? “Do everything in your power to try to stop it from being built in an area that has any residential properties within 10 to 15 miles of it,” she says. Company officials have said noise levels are monitored and do not exceed legal limits. According to Daily Caller, Loudon County stipulates that sound levels in residential and rural areas should not exceed 55 decibels and should not exceed 60 decibels in mixed-use residential areas. However, the stipulations exempt “[s]ounds created by generators and accessory equipment operating during an emergency or at the request of a utility, and the testing of said generators and emergency equipment,” the outlet noted. “This is what it sounds like living next to a data center. The video below was recorded at midnight, and the data center is situated next to 100s of residential homes,” X user Merissa Hansen wrote. This is what it sounds like living next to a data center.

The centers can provide a boost to local tax revenue. Loudoun County argues on its website that “data centers generate almost half of the county’s property tax revenues” and have allowed the county to direct more money to schools and other services. However, data centers consumed approximately 26% of the state’s power in 2023, accord to Pew. They have also driven up energy costs, according to NewsNation. The Vantage data center is not tied to the power grid and has its own power plant, Entin reported. The complaints arise amid the rapid rise of data centers across the country. Federal regulators have taken steps to fast-track data centers onto the U.S. power grid system. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued show cause orders June 18 giving the six major grid providers within its jurisdiction a 60-day window to justify existing rules for bringing “large energy users,” such as data centers, onto their systems, or adjust their rules, according to a fact sheet.
