Vanessa Trump shared an update Saturday on her cancer treatment and what the next steps down that road would be for her. Trump, who announced her breast cancer diagnosis publicly on May 20, said in a Saturday morning Instagram post that she’d spent the last several weeks recovering from surgery and was preparing for the next phase of treatment. “I wanted to share an update on my cancer journey,” she began. “Over the past four weeks, I’ve been recovering from surgery and I’m grateful to be healing and moving forward. Soon, I’ll be starting the second stage of my treatment. Sending love, strength, and hope to everyone fighting this battle.” Trump, who has five children from her previous marriage to Donald Trump Jr., did not give any further details about the surgery or what the next step in her treatment might be, although she had briefly mentioned a “procedure” when she first shared her diagnosis. “I am staying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the love and support of my family, my kids, and those closest to me,” she wrote at the time, adding, “I kindly ask for privacy as I focus on my health and recovery.” Ivanka Trump, her former sister-in-law, showed her support in a statement saying, “Praying for your continued strength and a swift recovery. Love you mama.” Trump’s cancer update comes just two weeks after her former husband, Trump Jr., tied the knot for a second time, marrying Bettina Anderson in a Memorial Day Weekend ceremony in the Bahamas — and one day after her boyfriend, golf legend Tiger Woods, left his rehab facility in Switzerland. Woods, 50, has been in rehab since his DUI arrest in late March — but he did take a brief break in order to be with Vanessa as she faces her cancer treatment.

Kate Bedingfield said that prominent Democrats refusing to disavow Maine Senate Candidate Graham Platner — over several scandals and allegations — amounted to an “indictment” of the party. Bedingfield, who served as communications director for former President Joe Biden, addressed the issue on CNN’s “The Arena,” telling host Kasie Hunt that she believed at least part of the problem could be chalked up to sexism.

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has confirmed that an employee has been terminated over her remarks about Karmelo Anthony in the wake of his murder conviction and subsequent 35-year prison sentence. The TDCJ confirmed to The Dallas Morning News that Donna Robinson was no longer with the department after she posted on Facebook about the case, saying that she believed Anthony was likely to be “protected” in prison. She also added, “I’m just glad we didn’t have to bury another Black child. Let them start burying some of theirs for a change. FK’em I said what I said.” Libs of TikTok shared screenshots of the post on Friday, following up later with a post stating that Robinson had been let go. This woman claims to be on the Board of Pardons and Parole in Texas She allegedly posted this after Karmelo Anthony was found guilty. We reached out to @TDCJ but they declined to respond pic.twitter.com/OBxn2rRsdg — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) June 12, 2026 “I am a parole supervisor at TX DCJ Karmelo will be ok he I can almost assure you will be protected on the inside. I for one don’t give fk about the family’s loss. It’s about time these fking bigots feel the pain tha they have inflicted on other people since the beginning of time!” she posted. “I’m just glad we didn’t have to bury another black child. Let them start burying some of theirs for a change. FK’em I said what I said,” she added. The TDCJ said in a statement to The Dallas Morning News that Robinson’s comments undercut the department in a way that was deemed unacceptable, and after a review of her public statements, she was fired. “These statements are incompatible with TDCJ policy and values. They demonstrate bias and a lack of the impartiality essential to the fair administration of justice in Texas,” the statement said, noting that employees were expected on a regular basis to make decisions in the workplace that had to be free from bias. “Discriminatory or inflammatory conduct that erodes public confidence in the criminal justice system will not be tolerated.” Anthony, 19, was convicted for the murder of Austin Metcalf, 17 — whom he fatally stabbed at a high school track meet — and was sentenced to 35 years in prison.

New Yorkers may not get the chance to attend NBA Finals Game 5 — which could be the last game of the championship series — thanks to a rule blocking out-of-town fans from purchasing tickets to the San Antonio-based game. A Ticketmaster warning shows sales for Game 5, which might see the New York Knicks win the NBA Finals for the first time in 53 years, are limited to fans within a 150-mile radius of the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas. “Residency will be based on credit card billing address,” the warning reads. “Orders by residents outside of a 150-mile radius of Frost Bank Center will be canceled without notice and refunds given.” The Ticketmaster rule has been in effect for the entire playoffs, according to social media users. Other ticket sites, however, including StubHub and SeatGeek, do not appear to restrict ticket sales to specific locations. The New York Knicks currently lead the series 3-1 over the San Antonio Spurs. If the Knicks win Game 5, the team will secure the NBA title for the first time since 1973. If the team loses, the series will return to Madison Square Garden for Game 6. This is the Knicks’ first Finals appearance since 1999, when the New York team lost to the Spurs. The Spurs’ last appeared in the NBA Finals in 2014, when the team defeated the Miami Heat to win the championship. Despite the roadblock from Ticketmaster, fans from New York and New Jersey have already purchased 45% of Game 5 tickets, as reported by the New York Post. According to the Post, some New Yorkers bought Game 5 tickets because they were cheaper than tickets to Madison Square Garden, the Post reported. The cheapest seats for Game 5 cost around $1,000 on Ticketmaster, while the best seats cost anywhere from $10,000 to $36,000. In contrast, the cheapest tickets for Game 3 at Madison Square Garden cost around $5,000 — with courtside tickets going for as much as $100,000, The Daily Wire previously reported. Win or lose, the Knicks have already made history in their Finals run. The team won Game 4 with a 29-point comeback, the largest in NBA Finals history.

Thus United States joined with Venezuela in a joint strike targeting Tren de Aragua leader Niño Guerrero, marking a new era of cooperation in the wake of former dictator Nicolàs Maduro’s arrest. Trump shared details of the strike late on Friday evening — along with footage — touting the cooperation with Venezuela and saying that he was making good on his promise to eradicate the gangs no matter where they chose to hide. FROM @POTUS — At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua, one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth.

As a result, Tren de Aragua terrorists no longer have safe haven in Venezuela or anywhere else and, under my leadership, we will find these vicious murderers and drugs lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” General Francis L. Donovan, head of U.S. Southern Command, also praised the joint operation with Venezuela: “We extend our gratitude to the Venezuelan security forces for their support to the successful joint operation against a Tren de Aragua compound that resulted in the death of the narco-terrorist organization’s leader … Guerrero was a wanted fugitive charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with ordering, directing, and facilitating acts of terrorism and violence in the United States.” War Secretary Pete Hegseth describe the operation as proof that the United States and Venezuela were committed to taking the fight to those who would participate in narco-terrorism and “deny them any safe haven.” “TdA founder & leader Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, aka ‘Niño Guerrero,’ was confirmed killed during the strike. The operation underscores the shared U.S. and Venezuelan commitment to take the fight to narco-terrorists and deny them any safe haven in our hemisphere. We will continue to work closely with security partners, like Venezuela — and counties in the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C) partners — to take the fight to our enemies,” Hegseth posted.
