House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday he is sending a bipartisan housing affordability bill to President Trump on Monday and that "it will become law," just days after the president abruptly canceled a planned signing ceremony. Johnson made the comments on "Sunday Morning Futures," projecting confidence the measure clears the final hurdles. It would mark a rare bipartisan win amid a packed legislative stretch.
Johnson signaled the House will reconvene Monday to push ahead after GOP holdouts threatened to obstruct votes. He told Maria Bartiromo Republicans will move the SAVE America Act into a reconciliation bill, and also tackle the National Defense Authorization Act, reauthorization of Section 702 of FISA, and appropriations. It sets up a busy week on Capitol Hill heading toward the midterms.
President Trump shared the interior of a new United States passport on Truth Social, with a portrait of himself standing over the Resolute Desk and his signature in gold beside the Declaration of Independence. The reverse features the Founding Fathers and an "America 250" stamp marking the nation's 250th anniversary. Trump captioned it "Welcome, but be good!" — with a limited edition slated for release in July.
Headlining the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference in Washington, Trump described the spread of communism as the greatest danger to the country since its founding 250 years ago. He warned the religious audience that communists "will close your churches in this country," and pointed to recent socialist primary wins in New York. The theme is shaping up as a centerpiece of his midterm messaging.
After back-to-back magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes struck west of Caracas, the Trump administration pledged $150 million in assistance and deployed Navy warships and elite search-and-rescue teams. Disaster Assistance Response Teams from Fairfax County, Los Angeles County, and Florida arrived with K-9 units and tens of thousands of pounds of gear. Officials noted the relief effort is running without USAID, which the administration dismantled.
Ukraine kept up its intensifying air campaign Sunday, with a drone strike setting a major oil refinery in southern Russia ablaze and killing at least two people. It follows a barrage Friday in which Russia said it intercepted 660 Ukrainian drones, and a Saturday hit on the Titan-Barrikady military complex in Volgograd. Kyiv says it's squeezing the fuel and weapons that keep Moscow's war machine running.
China's sweeping anti-corruption campaign has pushed down to grassroots officials, fueling quiet resistance inside the Communist Party's lower ranks. Analysts say targeting local cadres is straining the very base that keeps the system functioning. The friction hints at deeper tensions beneath Beijing's image of control.
The National Nuclear Security Administration showed off an 11-foot flight test vehicle, dubbed Aires Tide, at the Great American State Fair on the National Mall. It's built to gather data on the extreme heat, vibration, and stress that high-speed systems endure in the US nuclear deterrent. Engineers compressed what's normally a two-year build into roughly five months.
The administration's transparency push on unidentified anomalous phenomena rolled out fresh declassified files, including Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 photos and transcripts. The documents, part of the PURSUE program, are now public at WAR.GOV/UFO with no security clearance required. Officials say more releases from agencies including the CIA could follow on a rolling basis.
Warner Bros and DC's "Supergirl" is cratering at the box office, pulling in roughly $38 million domestically and about $68 million worldwide on opening weekend — nearly half of projections. With a production and marketing budget around $250 million, the film needs $450 to $500 million just to break even. Critics tie the stumble to weak reviews and controversial comments from star Milly Alcock.
