Savannah Guthrie says family remains 'in agony' over missing mom, begs the public for tips
SUMMARY: “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie made an emotional appeal to viewers Tuesday. She pleaded with them to step forward with any information about her missing mother. Her plea came a day after news organizations said a ransom note months ago had indicated that she was dead. Eighty-four-year-old Nancy Guthrie was reported missing from her Arizona home on Feb. 1. Authorities believe she was taken against her will. Savannah Guthrie says her family “cannot be at peace” while her mother's whereabouts are unknown. Authorities recently conducted a search near the Arizona-Mexico border but didn’t report finding her.

8 convicted of terrorism charges in Texas immigration center shooting sentenced to decades in prison
SUMMARY: A demonstrator who shot and wounded a police officer during a protest outside a Texas immigration center July 4 has been sentenced to 100 years in federal prison. Other protesters also accused of having links to antifa were sentenced Tuesday to multiple decades in federal prison. A federal jury in March found the eight defendants guilty of providing material support to terrorists and other charges. Prosecutors say the eight took part in a demonstration at the Prairieland Detention Center last July 4 in which a police officer was shot and wounded. The defendants deny any affiliation with the far-left anti-fascist organization.

A shooter kills 2 at a Northern California library and an 18-year-old suspect has been arrested
SUMMARY: Police investigating a shooting at a library in Northern California that left two people dead say an 18-year-old suspect has been arrested. Police say they responded to a 911 call Monday evening in which gunshots and people screaming could be heard coming from the Chico branch of the Butte County Library. The chief of police said the suspect fled out the back of the library as the officers entered, and that other law enforcement personnel were able to take him into custody. Police have said they determined the man acted alone and that he doesn't appear to have any connection to the victims.

Former Oklahoma death row inmate back in court as case proceeds to retrial in 1997 murder case
SUMMARY: A former Oklahoma death row inmate who was released from incarceration after nearly three decades is scheduled to be back in court as his case proceeds to a retrial for a 1997 killing that put him on the brink of execution three times. Richard Glossip’s initial conviction was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court last year, and he was released on bond by a state judge last month. Tuesday’s hearing will determine whether his case goes straight to retrial or if he will be given a new hearing to determine whether there is enough evidence to proceed.

What to know about a cold storage warehouse fire in Los Angeles
SUMMARY: Firefighters are still battling a blaze at a massive frozen-food storage facility near downtown Los Angeles six days after the fire started. Smoke is pouring from the warehouse, which is heavily insulated and whose roof is covered in solar panels. The fire started Wednesday, possibly linked to work on solar panels. Fires in cold storage facilities can burn for weeks because of their construction. Air quality warnings remain in effect, and residents are concerned about the materials burning inside.

Authorities arrest 2 more suspects in planned attack on Trump's UFC show
SUMMARY: Authorities have arrested two more people in Missouri and Washington state in connection with a planned attack targeting President Donald Trump’s UFC event at the White House earlier this month. Court documents filed Monday say one of the suspects was arrested Friday and charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Another was arrested Sunday. Federal officials say the planned attack was disrupted days before the June 14 event after a man who was reported by his mother told authorities he was part of a group that wanted to target members of government and trigger a revolution. Prosecutors say the plotters harbored fringe conspiracy theories.

Judge says roommate of Charlie Kirk murder suspect won't testify in person at preliminary hearing
SUMMARY: The Utah judge in the murder case of Charlie Kirk’s killing has denied a defense request to force Tyler Robinson’s former roommate to testify in person during the preliminary hearing. Judge Tony Graf said Monday that the credibility of any testimony can be challenged later if the case goes to trial. Graf also postponed a ruling on whether prosecutors could face sanctions for comments to the media about a bullet fragment recovered from the conservative activist’s body until Friday. Robinson has not yet entered a plea. The 23-year-old from southwestern Utah is charged with aggravated murder in the Sept. 10 assassination of Kirk. The ally of President Donald Trump was shot in the neck while addressing a crowd of thousands at Utah Valley University.

Federal judge halts Trump administration effort to subpoena Walz in immigration enforcement probe
SUMMARY: A federal judge has blocked an attempt by the Trump administration to subpoena Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and other state officials, calling it an effort to “harass and retaliate against them.” U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz found in a ruling unsealed Monday that the “dominant purpose” of the subpoenas was to “coerce Minnesota officials into assisting the federal government with enforcing civil immigration law and to harass and retaliate against them for failing to do so.” The subpoenas were served in January as part of an investigation into whether Walz and other officials obstructed or impeded law enforcement during a sweeping immigration operation in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. Walz calls the ruling “a victory for the rule of law and our democracy.”

Supreme Court rules Rastafari man can’t sue Louisiana prison officials who cut his dreadlocks
SUMMARY: The Supreme Court has barred a former Louisiana inmate from suing prison officials who cut his dreadlocks in violation of his Rastafari religious beliefs. The justices ruled Tuesday against Damon Landor, holding that a federal law designed to protect inmates’ religious rights does not permit lawsuits for money damages. The high court agreed with lower courts that had ruled the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act can’t be used to hold those who violate inmates’ rights financially responsible. The justices declined to adopt the rationale from a 2020 decision that allowed Muslim men to sue over their inclusion on the FBI’s no-fly list under a sister statute.

Supreme Court OKs Exxon Mobil lawsuit over Cuban property seized by Fidel Castro's government
SUMMARY: The Supreme Court has ruled that Exxon Mobil can sue Cuban state-owned companies in American courts over property on the island nation that was seized after Fidel Castro took power. The decision Tuesday was the second in as many months in favor of U.S. owners of Cuban property that was confiscated by the Communist government more than 65 years ago. The outcome in the two cases could be an additional lever for the Trump administration to exert pressure on Cuba, which is already being squeezed by a U.S. oil embargo.

From peace talks to Pennsylvania: Trump visiting Mack Truck facility
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump is going to a Mack Truck facility in a battleground district in swing state Pennsylvania, casting attention on the U.S. economy in his first major public event beyond the capital since he signed the Iran war agreement. Trump’s visit Tuesday to the Allentown-area business comes just about a week after he approved the initial deal to halt hostilities with Iran and as his negotiators work out the finer details. It’s the president’s fifth second-term visit to Pennsylvania, a key state whose support in 2016 and 2024 helped him to win the White House.

Mamdani and AI industry flex political power in New York, plus more to watch in Tuesday's primaries
SUMMARY: Two factions in the AI industry are clashing in a Democratic primary for a U.S. House seat. New York Assemblyman Alex Bores, a pro-regulation candidate, faces opposition from a group funded by OpenAI investors. The group spent over $7 million on ads against him. In response, groups partly backed by Anthropic spent $10 million to support Bores. The election will test the political influence of these AI factions and the viability of pro-regulation candidates. Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is endorsing progressive candidates in Democratic primaries, challenging established contenders. These races will gauge Mamdani's influence and the strength of democratic socialist platforms.

Pentagon seeks $80 billion from Congress for Iran war
SUMMARY: The Pentagon has told lawmakers it needs roughly $80 billion, mostly to cover the cost of the war in Iran. The proposal would add to what is already a sizable defense spending boost being sought by President Donald Trump. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said senators would review the proposal when it was formally submitted. But Democrats and some Republicans have been highly critical of Trump's military actions against Iran and skeptical of the deal the president made to end the war. The money, largely to replenish stockpiles, comes as Trump is seeking $1.5 trillion this year for the Defense Department, a 50% increase.

Patrols and nanobubbles on display at the Reflecting Pool as Trump looks for a renovation do-over
SUMMARY: National Guard members and U.S. Park Police are patrolling the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The Trump administration faces a self-imposed July 4 deadline to fix problems from a renovation before the nation's 250th anniversary. The patrols follow Trump's claim of "multiple arrests" for damage to the pool's liner. He confirmed the pool might need draining again for repairs. The timeline for repairs remains unclear. Contractors have been using chemicals to combat algae, which has plagued the pool for years. Trump blamed the problems on "SICK, DERANGED PEOPLE" but hasn't substantiated those claims. The Park Police haven't confirmed the number of arrests.

Trump is the frontman for his own party as rival groups vie to shape America’s 250th anniversary
SUMMARY: The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History highlights the complexities of the American story. An exhibit called “In Pursuit of Life, Liberty and Happiness” marks the 250th anniversary of American independence. It juxtaposes items like Nancy Pelosi's gavel with a “Make America Great Again” cap. The exhibit underscores that partisan divides are not new. As celebrations intensify, President Donald Trump plans to speak at “The Great American State Fair” on Wednesday. Meanwhile, America 250 will host a July 4th concert in Los Angeles. A June poll shows Americans are less optimistic, with fewer seeing the U.S. as exceptional. Despite divisions, organizers aim for inclusive celebrations.

Judge blocks use of federal database to check citizenship, saying it could wrongly purge voters
SUMMARY: A federal judge has ruled that a revamped federal tool that state election officials have used in their efforts to identify illegally registered noncitizen voters is unlawful and cannot be used. U.S. District Court Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan on Monday sided with advocacy groups that argued the recent upgrades to the program, called Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE, aggregated Americans’ sensitive personal data in a way that could result in voters being wrongly purged from voter rolls. The tool has been around for decades and was recently upgraded. But some election officials have raised concerns about its accuracy and security.

Senate passes a bipartisan housing bill aimed at increasing supply and lowering prices
SUMMARY: The Senate has passed a bipartisan housing bill that aims to bring down home prices and increase supply. The 85-5 vote on the bill Monday represents one of the most sweeping efforts in recent decades to reduce federal regulations for housing and expand local control. The legislation bans corporate investors from buying single-family homes but doesn’t include a provision that would have required investors to sell newly constructed homes within seven years. The House is expected to give the bill final approval later this week and send it to President Donald Trump, who has signaled his support.

Supreme Court reinstates murder conviction in case of Etan Patz, missing New York City boy
SUMMARY: The Supreme Court has reinstated a murder conviction in the 1979 disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz. The justices, by a 6-3 vote Monday, granted an appeal from New York prosecutors who had urged them to undo a federal appeals court decision that overturned the verdict. The three liberal justices dissented. Prosecutors had been preparing to try the man, Pedro Hernandez, for a third time. His first trial ended in a mistrial. Etan vanished while walking to his downtown Manhattan school bus stop on May 25, 1979. He was among the first missing children to appear on milk cartons, and the anniversary of his disappearance became National Missing Children’s Day.

US and Iran in dispute over whether Tehran has agreed to nuclear inspections
SUMMARY: The U.S. and Iran were in dispute over whether Tehran had agreed to allow U.N. inspections of its nuclear sites. As officials negotiated over how to permanently end the war in Iran, a plan emerged Tuesday to break the shipping bottleneck through the Strait of Hormuz. The disagreement over nuclear inspections came as Iran’s president met with Pakistani mediators and technical teams from the U.S. and Iran continued talks in Switzerland. A United Nations agency said a plan was underway to evacuate 11,000 stranded seafarers through the strait vital to global energy supplies and which Iran had blocked after the U.S. and Israel launched the war on Feb. 28.

Andy Burnham prepares for a UK Labour leadership contest that may be a coronation
SUMMARY: Andy Burnham is preparing for a Labour Party leadership contest that could make him Britain's prime minister within weeks. He's the strong front-runner to replace Prime Minister Keir Starmer who has announced that he will step down. Burnham is a former Cabinet minister and mayor of Greater Manchester. Burnham and Starmer met Tuesday for the first time since Burnham won a special election last week for a seat in Parliament with the aim of challenging Starmer. Nominations for Labour leadership open on July 9 and close a week later. Burnham could become prime minister by July 17 if he's the only contender. Some Labour members want a contest to scrutinize his policies which remain largely unknown.

How Brexit broke British politics
SUMMARY: Brexit fractured the European Union, and it broke British politics. The country is about to get its seventh prime minister since the 2016 vote to leave the EU. Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced Monday he will step down after two years of economic struggles and political division, partly due to Brexit. Historian Anthony Seldon says the referendum was meant to end Conservative Party arguments about Europe but failed. Brexit's legacy includes political fragmentation, economic challenges, and increased cynicism. Polls show some regret, but the path to rejoining the EU is complex and uncertain.

How Starmer went from Labour Party hero to calling it quits within 2 years
SUMMARY: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has admitted defeat, resigning less than two years after leading his party to a massive victory in 2024. His popularity plunged due to a struggling economy, policy missteps and a perceived lack of vision. This led to a thrashing for Labour in local elections and calls for him to step down. Starmer's premiership began with optimism after ending 14 years of Conservative rule. However, economic challenges and the decision to appoint a friend of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as U.S. ambassador hurt his standing. Starmer announced his resignation on Monday, paving the way for a challenger such as newly sworn-in Member of Parliament Andy Burnham to take over.

SUMMARY: Vice President JD Vance says his lengthy talks with senior Iranian officials in Switzerland created a good foundation for a final deal to end the Iran war. Vance made the comment Monday after initial talks with Iran’s parliamentary speaker. Vance and U.S. officials claimed progress on multiple fronts, including the establishment of measures to ensure the Strait of Hormuz stays open and that a ceasefire holds in the fighting between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon. Iran noted “major progress” to end the fighting in Lebanon and called that the first real test of the negotiations.

The Strait of Hormuz's future is unsettled even as more ships venture through
SUMMARY: Ship traffic has picked up in the Strait of Hormuz since Iran and the U.S. signed an interim deal to end a war that's constricted global oil supplies. But questions surrounding control of the waterway and tolls to cross it could interfere with ongoing negotiations. Last week’s provisional agreement allows Iran to manage the strait while holding discussions with Oman and six other Gulf states on the passage's future administration. In turn, Iran agreed not to charge transiting vessels for 60 days. President Donald Trump has suggested the U.S. could impose its own tolls if a final peace deal isn't reached. Legal experts say a toll regime would upend decades of international trade precedent.

That's according to his wife of 29 years, NBC News correspondent Andrea Mitchell. In his 18½ years at the helm of the Fed, Greenspan presided over a sustained era of American growth and prosperity, yet one that ended with devastating consequences in 2008, two years after he had left the central bank. Greenspan was so respected during his many years as head of the world’s most influential central bank that by the time he stepped down in 2006, he was widely celebrated as the “Oracle’’ and “Maestro.’’

Bucks must figure out how to move forward after trading away franchise icon Giannis Antetokounmpo
SUMMARY: Giannis Antetokounmpo brought Milwaukee back to relevance and delivered the franchise its first title in half a century. Now the Bucks face the onerous challenge of retooling without the player who carried the team on his broad shoulders for over a decade. A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press the Bucks agreed on the eve of Tuesday’s draft to send Antetokounmpo along with forward Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat in exchange for Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel’el Ware and Kasparas Jakucionis. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet official.
