WASHINGTON—After an intense few weeks focused on brokering peace in the Middle East, the White House is switching gears for a different kind of battle: getting the “Big, Beautiful Bill” to President Donald Trump’s desk before July 4. As Trump boarded Marine One ahead of his departure for a NATO summit on Tuesday morning, he condemned both Israel and Iran for firing missiles at one another following the ceasefire declared Monday evening. But by the time he was departing for the Netherlands, the president had put out a statement noting that “ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran” and that “all planes will turn around and head home.” And then he quickly redirected his attention to the “Big, Beautiful Bill.” “Just like Soleimani,” a senior White House official told The Daily Wire, in reference to Trump taking out the head of Iran’s Quds Force in 2020. “We achieve massive victory and move on.” The president called on his “friends in the Senate” to get the deal done this week, even suggesting they lock themselves in a room if they must as they work with the House of Representatives to reach a deal. His direction was clear: “Don’t go home.” “It will be a Historic Present for THE GREAT PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, as we begin the Celebration of our Country’s 250th Birthday,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post on Tuesday. “We are finally entering our Golden Age, which will bring unprecedented Safety, Security, and Prosperity for ALL of our Citizens.” “NO ONE GOES ON VACATION UNTIL IT’S DONE,” the president warned.

Another senior White House official told The Daily Wire that the president has been meeting with senators as part of his efforts to get the bill on his desk by July 4. “After achieving peace in the Middle East the president will continue his efforts to get [the Big Beautiful Bill] passed on [Capitol Hill] and on his desk for signature,” the official shared. In an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday morning, Senate Majority Leader John Thune was hopeful that lawmakers can work together to accomplish the president’s directive. “I’m hopeful that we will succeed by the end of the week here in the Senate,” he said. “Then we’ll see what the House can do and if we can get it on the president’s desk soon.” “This is the fulfillment and implementation, this bill, of the president’s agenda,” Thune said. “It’s securing the border. It’s modernizing our military. It’s making America energy dominant. It’s tax relief for working families. It’s reducing the size and scale and cost of government by getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse.” “This is what the American people voted for, and that’s what we intend to deliver,” he added. “So, failure is not an option.”

President Donald Trump heaped praise on the pilots of the B-2 Stealth Bombers that carried out successful strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday, telling reporters that “they had a magnificent hit in the dark of night with no moon.” Trump made the comments during a brief exchange on Air Force One on Tuesday, as he prepared to travel to The Hague for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit — and he took the opportunity to slip in a jab at cable news giant CNN as well. WATCH: .@POTUS: “Our B-2 pilots made this all possible. They had a magnificent hit in the dark of night with no moon, no light, no nothing. They hit the target perfectly … I saw CNN Fake News going, ‘Well, maybe it wasn’t a perfect hit…’ It’s very disrespectful to those great… pic.twitter.com/xRryvaV8Vn — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) June 24, 2025 “I will tell you, the last thing on their minds is nuclear weapons,” Trump said of Iran after the precision strikes. “They don’t even want to think about nuclear — and our B-2 pilots made this all possible. They had a magnificent hit in the dark of night with no moon, no light, no nothing. They hit the target perfectly, wiped it out.” “And the press is very disrespectful,” he continued. “I saw CNN Fake News going, ‘Well, maybe it wasn’t a perfect hit…’ It was perfect. They said, ‘Maybe it did destroy it — it did destroy it, we agree, it did destroy it, but maybe it could have destroyed it more.’ No, no … every one hit, and it’s very disrespectful to those great geniuses and patriots that flew those planes through tremendous danger. So CNN and MSDNC are a disgrace.” Trump also took questions on other topics — including the next steps with regard to Ukraine’s ongoing war with Russia. When asked whether he planned to speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky while in the Netherlands, Trump seemed to think the scenario likely.

Trump made it clear he was not interested in previewing the discussion: “I’ll say, ‘How ya doing?'”

WASHINGTON—Three years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade with its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, authorities have not determined who leaked the draft opinion. The failure to track down the Supreme Court leaker has baffled the public and angered many on the Right, who consider the leak a politically-motivated attempt to stop the Court from overturning Roe. The Court conducted an investigation into the leak, but said in January 2023 that they could not identify the leaker — and possibly never will. “In time, continued investigation and analysis may produce additional leads that could identify the source of the disclosure,” the Supreme Court’s 2023 statement said. “Whether or not any individual is ever identified as the source of the disclosure, the Court should take action to create and implement better policies to govern the handling of Court-sensitive information and determine the best IT systems for security and collaboration.” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealed in May that the FBI is giving increased scrutiny to the “leak of the Supreme Court Dobbs case,” among a few other high-profile cases that have not been properly investigated. “I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly and we are making progress,” Bongino said in late May. “If you have any investigative tips on these matters that may assist us then please contact the FBI.” The leak of the draft opinion prompted protests outside the Maryland and Virginia homes of the conservative Supreme Court justices — illegal protests in violation of 18 USC 1507, which prohibits picketing or parading near the home of a judge “with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice.” In addition to the protests, the Dobbs leak prompted attacks on pregnancy centers and churches all across the United States. According to CatholicVote trackers, at least 96 pregnancy centers and 343 churches have been attacked, vandalized, firebombed, or otherwise terrorized since the leak. In many cases, vandals spray-painted the messages “if abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either” and autographed the destruction, “Jane’s Revenge,” a reference to “Jane Roe,” the pseudonymous plaintiff in the landmark abortion case. Radical leftist groups published Supreme Court justices’ addresses online and urged protestors to make the justices uncomfortable in efforts to save Roe. Justice Samuel Alito has said that the leak made the justices “targets for assassination.” Though both Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin (R) and then-Maryland Governor Larry Hogan (R) begged the Justice Department to to enforce that law as far-left activists continued their protesting, President Joe Biden’s Justice Department did not respond to these requests until June 8, 2022, the very same day that authorities arrested Nicholas Roske and charged him with attempting to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

And we thought there would be more urgency about protecting the perimeter of the justices’ homes, and by extension, their neighborhoods.” Far left protestors with @OurRightsDC march by Justice Kavanaugh’s home in the rain.

He found Kavanaugh’s neighborhood online, according to court documents, after he saw an article with a “picture of the family’s house,” including the house number. “I was thinking about — I was thinking about killing Brett Kavanaugh and then killing myself,” he said to the officers who arrived on the scene, according to January court filings. “And then I texted my sister that I loved her. And then she called me and she told me not to do it. And then I called 9-1-1-.” “I saw the news and it was upsetting, and I was already suicidal,” he told detectives later, as he described how he tracked down Kavanaugh’s home and planned the assassination.  “And I don’t know. It was something to — it was like a project I guess…” Law enforcement officers stand guard as abortion rights activists with Our Rights DC march in front of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house on June 29, 2022, in Chevy Chase, Maryland. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) “When I saw the leaked draft, it made me upset and then it made me want to — I don’t know,” he shared. “I was under the delusion that I could make the world a better place by killing him.” Roske allegedly flew from California to Dulles International Airport after he found Kavanaugh’s home using media photographs of protests outside the justice’s home, protests which began after POLITICO’s May 2022 publication of a leaked draft Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe. POLITICO itself acknowledged that its publication of the unprecedented leak would stir up controversy. They were named as a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize for the story, though the story did not win the prize. “No draft decision in the modern history of the court has been disclosed publicly while a case was still pending,” wrote journalists Josh Gerstein and Alexander Ward. “The unprecedented revelation is bound to intensify the debate over what was already the most controversial case on the docket this term.”

News Bookish Mark Gatiss Quirkily Solves Crimes in Bookish “Leave nothing out, especially if it’s salacious, gory, or vaguely scandalous.” By Molly Templeton | Published on June 24, 2025 Image: UKTV Comment 0 Share New Share Image: UKTV The name’s Book. Gabriel Book. And yes: Book owns a bookshop. Bookish is a new series coming to PBS that combines several things very beloved of certain audiences: books, bookshops, murders, and Sherlock co-creator Mark Gatiss. Here’s how the show is described by UKTV, which is releasing it in the UK: London 1946 is the setting for series one, with viewers introduced to the appropriately named Gabriel Book (Gatiss) who owns a bookshop in Archangel Lane. If his War was packed with espionage and secrets, Book’s Peace is just as full of adventure! Now he helps the police solve the strangest of crimes and the knottiest of murders. But his close association to the force is not without its dangers. For although he is very happily married to his childhood best friend, the captivating Trottie (played by Polly Walker), Book is a gay man living at a time when homosexuality was illegal. When Book and Trottie take in Jack it seems like an act of altruism: a second chance for a young jailbird. And Jack (played by Connor Finch) proves a worthy assistant both in the shop and in Book’s murder investigations.It soon becomes clear, however, that Jack’s appointment wasn’t quite as random as it at first appears… With a complex mystery at the heart of every story, featuring a wealth of well-known guest stars, marrying post-war nostalgia with the reckless and life affirming atmosphere of the times, Bookish is a stylish period detective drama with a difference. That’s quite a cast of British all-stars—and the series also features Joely Richardson (Emerald City) and Paul McGann (Doctor Who). There is also a dog named Dog. Gatiss is the creator and writer of Bookish as well as its star. The project was originally intended to be a novel, but Gatiss “couldn’t get the tone right,” as he told Deadline. Perhaps it’s appropriate, then, that the UK will also have a spin-off novel written by Matthew Sweet. (In the UK, the series has already been renewed for a second season.) Bookish will arrive on PBS at some still mysterious future date.[end-mark] The post Mark Gatiss Quirkily Solves Crimes in <i>Bookish</i> appeared first on Reactor.
