The News Roundup – Domestic and International (The 1A) 2025-07-25

Domestic

New reporting in The Wall Street Journal indicates that the FBI told President Donald Trump in May that his name was mentioned in the Epstein Files. Congressional Republicans have mostly shrugged off the news. Speaker Mike Johnson shuts down the House for the summer.

Despite Democrat protests, the Senate voted to move ahead with the confirmation of former Trump defense attorney and controversial senior justice department official Emil Bove. He is nominated to the bench of the Third Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.

And President Trump floats the idea of restricting the Washington Commanders stadium deal if the organization doesn’t revert the name of the team to its original iteration.

International

The European Union and at least 28 governments are criticizing Israel for “drip feeding” Palestinians in Gaza, as starvation grows worse in the Strip. More than 110 people have now died from hunger.

Reports indicate that Russian officials have involved teenagers as they test and deploy drones into Ukraine. Daily drone warfare has increased, as Russian president Putin inches towards a deadline imposed by President Trump to end the fighting.

The Trump administration withdraws the U.S. from UNESCO, the United Nations’ cultural agency, just two years after rejoining.

Opinion | A tariffs court case could rein in Trump’s rampant presidency - The Washington Post

Next Thursday, a federal appeals court will hear oral arguments about this: May the president, by making a declaration (that he claims is exempt from judicial review) of a national "emergency" and "an unusual and extraordinary threat," impose tariffs (taxes paid by U.S. consumers) whenever he wants, at whatever level he wants, against whatever country he wants, on whatever products he wants, for as long as he wants?
