ABC News reports that E. Jean Carroll has now received more than $5.6 million arising from the 2023 civil verdict that found Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming her. The payment came after the Supreme Court declined to hear Trump's appeal and federal courts ordered the release of funds that had been held in escrow during the appeals process. A separate $83.3 million judgment in Carroll's favor is still being contested.   

Podcast hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan sharply criticized homeschooling, calling it strange, harmful to social development, and politically connected to conservative cultural movements.

Deseret News concludes that one year after USAID's dismantling, the move remains highly controversial. Critics argue the changes weakened global humanitarian assistance and disrupted vital health and development programs, while supporters contend the restructuring reduced waste and aligned foreign-aid spending more closely with U.S. interests. The debate largely centers on whether the humanitarian costs outweigh the claimed efficiencies and policy benefits.

The conflict between the United States and Iran escalated again on July 14, 2026, with Iran claiming it launched ballistic missiles at a U.S. military base in Jordan while U.S. forces carried out several hours of new strikes against Iranian targets. The exchanges have further strained a fragile understanding that had been intended to halt the war and have renewed concerns about global energy supplies and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
