Today’s Rundown:
- DOJ LAUNCHES GRAND JURY PROBE INTO RUSSIAGATE ALLEGATIONS: The Department of Justice has launched a grand jury investigation into claims that the original Russiagate inquiry was improperly coordinated to target Donald Trump. Attorney General Pam Bondi directed prosecutors to present evidence based on intelligence referrals from figures like former DNI Tulsi Gabbard. This probe aims to examine whether claims about Trump’s ties to Russia were manufactured. It marks a major escalation into the origins of the 2016 investigation.
- NOEM PROPOSES “ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ” AS ICE DETENTION MODEL: South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem—who currently serves as Homeland Security Secretary—has promoted a remote detention center in the Everglades nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz.” Federal funding will support the project and similar centers nationwide. The idea is to create detention sites near airports or airports near jails to streamline migrant processing. Critics warn about the isolation and environmental concerns. Supporters say it would increase deportation efficiency.
- TRUMP TO SIGN EXECUTIVE ORDER CREATING 2028 OLYMPICS TASK FORCE: President Trump is planning to sign an executive order this week to create a White House task force overseeing the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The group will include cabinet-level officials and will handle security, transport, visas, and accreditation for athletes and media. LA28 organizers welcomed the move and said it helps advance planning. The order follows a $1 billion congressional allocation for Olympic-related costs.
- SEAN ‘DIDDY’ COMBS DENIED BAIL AHEAD OF SENTENCING: Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been denied bail again and must remain in custody in New York until his sentencing in early October. He was convicted on two federal prostitution-related charges. The judge cited concerns about violence, drug use, and possible witness intimidation or flight risk. Combs had offered up to a $50 million bond and proposed strict conditions, but all requests were turned down.
- OVER 3,000 BOEING FIGHTER-JET WORKERS STRIKE AFTER REJECTING CONTRACT: More than 3,200 union workers in the St. Louis area who build Boeing fighter jets walked off the job after rejecting a four‑year contract proposal. The offer included a roughly 40 % wage increase, periodic raises, more sick leave, and a $5,000 bonus. Workers say it still fails to match rising costs of living and Boeing’s growing defense profits. The strike could delay production of key U.S. military aircraft. Boeing says it’s disappointed but prepared.
- UNITED FLIGHT DECLARES MAYDAY AFTER ENGINE FAILURE, LANDS SAFELY: A United Airlines Boeing 787 flight bound from Washington Dulles to Munich declared a “Mayday” shortly after takeoff last week. The crew reported an engine failure and dumped fuel before making a safe emergency landing back at Dulles. There were more than 200 passengers on board, and all landed without injuries. The incident highlights the importance of safety protocols and crew training.
- TESLA GRANTS ELON MUSK $29 BILLION STOCK PACKAGE: Tesla’s board awarded CEO Elon Musk approximately $29 billion worth of shares—96 million restricted stock units—to secure his continued leadership. This grant is an interim deal following the voiding of a prior $56 billion package by a Delaware court. Musk is appealing that decision, and if the earlier deal is reinstated, the new award will be voided. The move reflects Tesla’s push into AI, robotics, and mobility services. Investor analysts say the award is intended to incentivize Musk to stay focused on the company for years ahead.
- TRUMP IGNITES BACKLASH AFTER COMPARING SYDNEY SWEENEY AND TAYLOR SWIFT: Former President Trump praised actress Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle jeans ad, calling it the “HOTTEST ad out there,” and highlighted that she is a registered Republican. He contrasted her with Taylor Swift, calling her “no longer hot” and labeling “woke” culture as for “losers.” The remarks, posted on Truth Social and addressed in media, have stirred debate over politics mixing with pop culture. Critics say Trump’s comments politicize fashion marketing and personal branding.
