03:03โขTrump Attacks Juneteenth Holiday
โจThe newspapers report that Trump complained about "too many non-working holidays" on Juneteenth, marking a stark contrast to Biden's celebration at a historic Black church in Texas (ABC News, NBC News, Newsweek, The Daily Beast, HuffPost). Trump did not formally observe the federal holiday that commemorates the end of slavery. Meanwhile, Trump's two-week Iran deadline continues to generate diplomatic activity, with the White House claiming a "substantial chance" for diplomatic solution while Iranian missiles struck what AP News describes as Israel's "crown jewel of science" (CNN, Fox News, NYTimes, AP News). The administration faces legal pushback as a federal judge ruled Trump cannot block state funding over immigration enforcement, protecting states from losing transportation money for refusing to enforce Trump's immigration agenda (NPR). ICE operations remain contentious, with the LA Dodgers disputing whether they denied stadium access to federal agents (One America News Network, USA Today).
