🚨 THIS is what taking the cartel threat seriously looks like.

Secretary Rubio is in South America working to build a hemisphere-wide campaign against narco-terrorist organizations — the same groups flooding American communities with deadly drugs.

Secure the border. That part is underway.

The next step is working with countries across the region to dismantle these cartels where they operate.

These organizations have enormous amounts of money, weapons, manpower, and influence. In some places, they can rival the governments trying to stop them.

At that point, this isn’t simply a “drug problem.”

It’s an organized security threat.

Trump’s team isn’t just talking about confronting it.

They’re going after it.

🚨 RFK Jr. is sounding the alarm on something that deserves far more attention:

Cancer is showing up in younger people at rates doctors didn’t commonly see before.

Speaking with a surgeon in Tampa, he pointed specifically to the rise of colorectal cancer in younger patients, along with concerns around certain soft-tissue cancers.

His question: what changed?

He pointed toward possible environmental and dietary factors — including ultra-processed foods, pesticide exposure, and broader changes in the American food system.

He also highlighted states such as Iowa and Kentucky, where cancer trends have raised growing concern.

For years, researchers should have been asking why diseases once associated mainly with older adults are increasingly appearing in younger generations.

Now the NIH is taking a closer look.

Whatever the cause turns out to be, the trend itself deserves serious investigation.

Young people shouldn’t be developing cancers traditionally associated with much older populations at increasing rates — and we need to understand why.

🚨 TRUMP’S AGENDA IS MOVING ON MULTIPLE FRONTS

From major upgrades at the White House and new infrastructure projects to plans for expanded military facilities and a grand ballroom, President Trump is putting his stamp on Washington.

At the same time, he’s continuing to champion school choice, arguing that American families should have more control over where their children are educated.

Supporters see it as a broader effort to reshape the country both physically and politically — one project and one policy at a time. 🇺🇸

🚨 TRUMP UNLOADS ON CANADA

President Trump is escalating his trade fight with Canada, accusing the country of taking advantage of the United States for decades through steep tariffs and restrictive trade policies.

In a fiery Truth Social post, Trump pointed specifically to Canadian agricultural tariffs — claiming some exceed 400% — while arguing that U.S. farmers and companies have paid the price.

He also revived his criticism over Canada's treatment of Gulfstream aircraft, saying certification was held up for years while a Canadian competitor benefited.

Trump called Canada one of the “most difficult and unreasonable” countries he deals with and made clear he believes its preferential treatment from the U.S. is coming to an end.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 The trade tensions are heating up fast.

🚨 TARIFFS ARE DELIVERING RESULTS

Mercedes is reportedly preparing to invest $4 BILLION in Alabama, a move aimed at expanding U.S. production and reducing exposure to import tariffs.

For years, critics argued tariffs would only hurt American consumers and businesses.

Now, major manufacturers are putting billions into U.S. facilities instead.

More investment. More production. More jobs at home. 🇺🇸🔥

Trump on Pirro: Frankly, I think she choked.

Reporter: Are you reconsidering her role?

Trump: You’re fake news. Don’t ever talk again. You're fake news.

🇺🇸🇲🇦 Washington just sent Rabat a very public signal of support.

In Trump’s Throne Day message to King Mohammed VI, the U.S. again backed Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara and described Morocco’s autonomy proposal as the only credible route toward resolving the dispute.

The message also rejected any return to the current deadlock, arguing that alternative approaches would only extend an already unacceptable situation.

The timing stands out.

Morocco’s relationship with Spain is under renewed pressure following the recent migrant rush into Ceuta, a Spanish-controlled enclave that Rabat has historically claimed.

While Madrid manages the immediate consequences, Washington is making its position clear: on the region’s biggest territorial disputes, it remains firmly aligned with Morocco.

🇮🇷🇵🇰🇹🇷 Tehran is quietly lining up regional support as talk of a U.S.-Israeli strike grows louder.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held separate calls with Pakistan’s army chief, Asim Munir, and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, warning that any American attack would trigger a forceful Iranian response.

Iran has used this diplomatic channel before during moments of escalation. What makes this round different is the backdrop: Israeli forces are reportedly at heightened readiness, air defenses are being reinforced, and speculation is building around possible military action within days.

The calls may be familiar. The level of preparation surrounding them is not.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Akhmat fighters turned the frontline into a full-blown fireworks show.

At this point, they’re not suppressing a position—they’re trying to delete the entire map.

[Josh Duncan @itsrealjosh1]

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷 Israel has reportedly raised its alert level over the possibility of a U.S. strike on Iran.

An Israeli source told N12 that officials believe Trump is closer than ever to authorizing a major attack, although no final decision has been made.

Tensions are now being described as the highest they’ve been during this standoff, with the situation dangerously close to boiling over.

Important caveat: this is one anonymous Israeli assessment, not confirmation from Washington, and Israel has reasons to publicly signal that a strike may be imminent.

But if Trump gives the order, this uneasy period of silence could end very quickly.

The Moscow region experienced one of its largest reported drone attacks yet overnight.

Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said more than 390 Ukrainian drones targeted the region. While most were reportedly intercepted, one drone struck a residential building in Chekhov.

The attack follows a series of increasingly large drone waves in recent months, including one involving roughly 430 drones. In May, Russia reported that more than 600 drones were launched across Moscow and several other regions over a 24-hour period.

The scale of these exchanges continues to escalate.

Teary-eyed lawmakers gathered at the Capitol to pay their final respects to Lindsey Graham, as colleagues honored his decades of public service.

Vice President JD Vance briefly lightened the somber atmosphere with a lighthearted remark, drawing a few smiles during an otherwise emotional farewell.

🇺🇸Dr. Anthony Fauci is back in the spotlight after newly resurfaced excerpts renewed debate over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Critics argue he played a central role in shaping public understanding of the virus's origins, its severity, and available treatments, while alleging that dissenting views were marginalized across major media and tech platforms.

They also point to the long-term consequences of pandemic-era policies, including business closures and the educational and emotional setbacks experienced by many students.

Sen. @RandPaul continues to call for further scrutiny, though whether any formal accountability follows remains uncertain.

One thing is clear: the debate over Fauci's legacy is far from settled.

🇺🇸Trump:

“You know who wouldn’t survive without us? Israel.

If I hadn’t taken out those facilities that were on the path to producing nuclear weapons, Israel would’ve been finished months ago.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is currently on his way to Washington, D.C. 😂

🚨 JUST IN: Hours before Netanyahu's arrival in DC, President Trump makes clear Israel would NOT survive without America

"You know who wouldn't survive without us? ISRAEL."

"If I didn't get involved, and if I didn't blow up those soon-to-be nuclear weapons—the dust, as I call it—Israel would've been terminated months ago and YEARS ago."

Stephen Miller says drug cartels are “in the exact same legal position as ISIS and Al-Qaeda,” arguing they operate just across the U.S. border.

“They export massive death through narcotics into our country and run sophisticated criminal enterprises whose objective is to destabilize our democracy and undermine the rule of law.”

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Stephen Miller:

As a foreign terrorist organization, the Mexican drug cartels sit in the exact same legal position as ISIS or Al-Qaeda.

Except unlike ISIS or Al-Qaeda, they're not operating thousands of miles away, again they are operating meters from where you show up to perform your duties every single day.

Those organizations not only export massive death in the form of narcotics to our country, but they also export sophisticated criminal enterprises whose objective is to destabilize our democracy and to end the rule of law in our country.

The U.S. has temporarily halted its strikes on Iran, but the situation remains TENSE, as you might expect. Trey Yingst on Fox noted the Trump admin is still pushing for a diplomatic path, while explicitly leaving the door open to renewed military action.

Documentary filmmaker Alex Holder says Lindsey Graham remained focused until the very end, with three major priorities still on his mind:

• Toppling Iran
• Securing peace in Ukraine
• Advancing a Saudi–Israel normalization deal
