Today's Juneteenth celebration is the first since the Supreme Court rolled back the Voting Rights Act, a decision @CoryBooker says "sends Southern legislatures back to doing what they were doing in that post-reconstruction period and eviscerating Black fair elections."
Why is President Trump hosting a UFC fight at the White House on his 80th birthday? "The president thinks this is cool. It's his birthday. He wants to have a big event," @ShelbyTalcott says her White House sources are telling her. "It's not that deep."
Exclusive reporting from @NatashaBertrand and @ZcohenCNN: The US military rushed to prepare a plan to send ground troops into Iran to forcibly seize its highly enriched uranium, but Trump paused it, sources say.
New: On April 1, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George requested an in-person meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — an effort to calm months of tension between Hegseth and senior Army leaders, three officials said.
The meeting never came. The next day, he was fired in the middle of a meeting with Army staff.
“The staff proceeded to, one by one, either go and give him a handshake or a hug,” a Pentagon official recalled. By the next morning, George’s office had been emptied.

.@spencerpratt’s campaign gave voice to real anger in L.A.
People are hurting & feel unheard.
The Palisades Fire. Homelessness.
Politicians would be wise to listen & adjust course. Not mock the pain.
CNN spoke with more than a dozen current and former female staffers who say they've faced harassment from House members or senior congressional staff, nearly all of whom chose not to report the incidents and still fear publicly naming their harassers.
Their stories — told under the condition of anonymity over concerns of retribution and corroborated by CNN to the extent possible through interviews, text messages, photo evidence and settlement documents — reveal how women working on Capitol Hill often face structural and cultural shortcomings in Congress that disincentivize staffers from reporting misconduct. https://t.co/j6QYy69wLP
NEW from me: after his (yet again uncontested) primary win, I talked with Josh Shapiro on what how he says Pennsylvania proves a lot of the posters and pundits wrong when it comes to calling him too centrist, too buttoned up and too Zionist

James Talarico is already facing GOP attacks for how he talks about his faith. @niamalikah tells @DanaBashCNN that Republicans are hoping that criticism can win over "traditional Black and Brown voters who are very religious, social conservatives."
As President Trump marks his third check-up at Walter Reed since being inaugurated last year, @bterris takes us inside his "surreal" interview with Trump and his doctors when a doctor told him "without skipping a beat... President Trump is healthier" than President Obama.
When President Trump endorsed Ken Paxton over Sen. John Cornyn, Senate Republicans were furious. Now that Texas Republicans are going to the polls, @JasJWright reports her sources in the White House "trust the plan and trust the president's endorsement."
Straight from Capitol Hill to the Inside Politics studio! Noah Wyle tells @DanaBashCNN about his efforts on Capitol Hill and what to expect from season 3 of "The Pitt".
You know him as Dr. Robby from "The Pitt" or Dr. Carter from "ER", and on Capitol Hill, Noah Wyle is using his TV doctor fame to advocate for healthcare workers.
CNN's @IsaacDovere obtained the draft of the DNC's 2024 autopsy report that the party chair was hoping would stay hidden forever. He joined the Inside Politics panel reporting that many felt the draft report was "at best incomplete, if not wrong or contorted."
You wanted to see the long hidden DNC autopsy report of the 2024 election loss.
Here it is, and the convoluted never reported story of how it became an existential crisis of Ken Martin.

Spent time with Noah Wyle as he lobbied lawmakers in Congress for legislation to help real life health care professionals. Tune in 12n et / 9a pt on @insidepolitics
