Good evening. Itās Monday, July 14.
Several of President Donald Trumpās top officials went to work on Monday with a key question unanswered: would Dan Bongino show up?
Hours later, two sources familiar with the matter confirmed he did. But his long-term future as deputy director of the FBI appeared uncertain.
Bongino did not go into the office Friday and largely excommunicated himself from most of his colleagues after a major fallout with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The Supreme Court cleared the way for the Education Department to fire hundreds of employees on Monday, a move that advances President Donald Trumpās plans to dismantle the department.
The high courtās decision in McMahon v. State of New York was issued 6-3 along ideological lines.
The decision temporarily pauses an order by a lower court judge that had reinstated roughly 1,400 laid-off employees at the Education Department.
Lara Trump says the Trump administration is planning to release more material related to the Jeffrey Epstein file, responding to ongoing pressure from supporters of the MAGA movement.
During an interview with Benny Johnson, Lara TrumpāPresident Donald Trumpās daughter-in-law, wife of Eric Trumpāsaid the administration is aware of the optics. āHe hears all the noise,ā she said about Trump, āand will set things right.ā
āI do think that there needs to be more transparency on this and I think that will happen. I donāt know what truly exists there, but I know that this is something thatās important to the president as well. He does want transparency on all these fronts. Everything weāre talking about, because itās frustrated him as well. He sat for four years like the rest of us did and saw lie after lie and saw the country being set down the wrong path,ā she said.
Democrat Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh laid out his vision on Sunday to freeze rent, rapidly raise the minimum wage and refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
Fateh, who is currently a Minnesota state senator, posted a video to his X account calling to āprotectā Minneapolis from a āhostile White House,ā increase the minimum wage by $20 by 2028 and prohibit the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) from āinteractingā with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The mayoral candidate, who announced his candidacy in December, has a platform that strongly resembles Democrat New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdaniās.
āProtecting all of our communities from Donald Trump means not letting MPD interact with ICE, whether itās for an immigration raid or not. Our residents deserve a mayor who will stand up to Donald Trump and say, āno, not in our community,āā Fateh said.
Elon Muskās xAI is launching a new government-facing service. Its first client happens to be the largest employer on Earth.
The Department of Defense will pay up to $200 million for āGrok for Government,ā a new collection of AI products geared toward use by federal, local, and state governments.
The department has also awarded similar contracts to Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI, which launched its own government-facing initiative last month.
Joy Taylor is out at Fox Sports as part of a brutal move that will see the network bring three shows to an end, according to reports.
As well as FS1 show āSpeakā, which Taylor co-hosts, Fox is also cancelling two of its morning programs, as per The Athletic.
All three shows are said to have struggled to find a huge audience, meaning they have now been brought to a close.
A 12-year-old girl was āremovedā by teachers for celebrating her British heritage on a culture day at school.

However, her father, Stuart had to collect the 12-year-old from school before the end of the day after he claimed she was told culture day was ānot for herā.
