This Fourth of July, wake up early for a planetary surprise!
Mars and Uranus will appear very close together before sunrise. To find them, look east—Mars will appear as a red “star” above the horizon. Uranus will be above Mars, but you’ll need binoculars or a telescope to see.
"On the Fourth of July, we honor those throughout American history who have shaped and defended our republic and freedom," writes Nicole Bibbins Sedaca, the Kelly and David Pfeil Fellow at the Bush Institute. "And now it’s our turn. We must make the daily choice to live up to the democratic values that are foundational to our country."

Starmer to resign on Monday
UK PM Keir Starmer is expected to announce his resignation on Monday amid pressure from Labour MPs to make way for Andy Burnham as leader.
Business Secretary Kyle said Starmer is spending the weekend reflecting on the “political realities” he faces.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's message to the Lebanese people:
Israel is not at war with Lebanon. We're at war with Hezbollah, that has taken your country hostage, that does Iran's bidding, that uses your territory to launch terrorist attacks against Israel.
Once Hezbollah is dismantled, the possibilities are endless.
Netanyahu on Erdogan:
“The antisemitic dictator Erdoğan, who is committing genocide against the Kurds, supports the Hamas terrorist organization, oppresses his own people and imprisons political rivals, is the last person who can lecture the State of Israel on morality.”

Thank you, my friend, for your most gracious wishes.
I fully agree with you. India-Israel friendship will continue to grow from strength-to-strength in the years to come.

Protests in more than 70 cities are planned tonight across the UK at 7 PM after yesterday’s attempted beheading in Belfast.
The British people are protesting against yet another case of migrant violence.
If Trump’s conventional deterrent is deemed unreliable, fears about the extended nuclear deterrent are even greater. Gulf Arabs and other regional states have long contemplated whether to acquire nuclear capabilities to hedge against a fickle Washington. This could spark an arms race across the Gulf.
