Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close Trump ally and foreign policy hawk, dies after a brief illness
SUMMARY: Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close ally of President Donald Trump, has died after a brief illness, according to his office. The South Carolina Republican was 71. Graham was known for advocating a strong U.S. foreign policy. He initially opposed Trump and ran against him for president in 2016, but later became a staunch supporter. Graham had just returned from Ukraine, where he'd meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Graham was known for advising Trump on matters such as Iran and Russia. Trump says Graham "sounded a little bit tired, but perfect,” when the senator called the president Saturday night after returning from his trip.

Georgia teen charged in Apalachee High School shooting to appear in court for plea and sentencing
SUMMARY: A judge has set a plea and sentencing hearing for a teenager accused of killing four people in a 2024 shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia. Colt Gray, 16, had pleaded not guilty to charges including murder. The judge scheduled a “Non-Negotiated Plea and Sentencing Hearing” for July 24. This means the state and defense have not agreed on a sentence, leaving it up to the judge. Gray's trial was set for October. His father was convicted on multiple charges after prosecutors said he gave his son the rifle used in the shooting. The attack left two students and two teachers dead, with several others wounded.

Innovation, data fixes fuel Native American graduation gains at federally funded schools
SUMMARY: The U.S. agency that oversees dozens of schools serving Native Americans is reporting more on-time high school graduations than ever. The Bureau of Indian Education says nearly 80% of high schoolers are graduating within four years. That's up from only half a decade ago. The Trump administration says it's committed to Native students. There's also been a push to correct how graduation rates are tabulated. Some BIE educators attribute the boost to local innovations. Still, tribal leaders fear that progress could be undermined by budget cuts and the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education.

Mexican builder fatally shot by an ICE officer is mourned after making a life in the US
SUMMARY: The builder got up every morning long before dawn, left home to pick up his construction crew and then headed out to work on yet another house somewhere across the sprawl of Houston. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo had built hundreds of houses over 35 years, creating a life for his family in the U.S. On Tuesday, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot 52-year-old Salgado Araujo as he drove his crew to their latest job site.

Missouri flooding leaves one dead, while rescuers helicopter more than 200 to safety at summer camp
SUMMARY: A woman has been found dead in Missouri after heavy rainfall battered parts of the state, forcing numerous emergency rescues and evacuations. More than 200 children and staffers at a Missouri summer camp were helicoptered to safety, and about 20 people were rescued from another campground after a building collapsed Friday during the deluge. The woman who was found dead disappeared after a house was swept from its foundation.

Dangerous heat wave threatens oppressive temperatures in much of the US
SUMMARY: A widespread and dangerous heat wave is building across the U.S., with triple-digit highs expected in the Southwest and Great Plains this weekend. The heat will spread eastward under a dome of high pressure that meteorologists say could trap oppressive temperatures for a week or more in as much as two-thirds of the continental United States. Temperatures will be 15 to 25 degrees warmer than normal in many areas, including at night. That's especially bad for people’s health because their bodies won’t have a chance to recover.

Takeaways from a weeklong preliminary hearing in the Charlie Kirk murder case
SUMMARY: The first stage of a preliminary hearing has wrapped up in the case of the man accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Prosecutors presented evidence against 23-year-old Tyler Robinson, arguing that he should face the death penalty. On the other side, defense attorneys tried to sow doubt about the case. Now a Utah judge will wait until September to decide whether to order a trial. Robinson is charged with aggravated murder in the Sept. 10 assassination of Kirk, who was an ally of President Donald Trump. Robinson has not yet entered a plea. The shooting took place at Utah Valley University in Provo.

From staunch critic to fierce ally: Graham's long, strange and consequential friendship with Trump
SUMMARY: Lindsey Graham's relationship with Donald Trump was a roller coaster. After the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, the Republican senator from South Carolina said he was done with Trump. But that didn't last long. Graham's journey with Trump was marked by dramatic shifts, from fierce critic to close ally. The two men bonded over golf, and Graham became a key supporter of Trump’s policies and a close adviser on foreign policy matters, including staunchly supporting the war in Iran. Graham even compared Trump to almost a deity. The president said Graham, who died Saturday night, was a “true American patriot.”

New York Times reporters are subpoenaed after Air Force One stories, raising press freedom concerns
SUMMARY: The Department of Justice confirms that it's subpoenaed New York Times journalists after they reported on security concerns involving the new, Qatari-gifted Air Force One. The subpoenas mark a dramatic escalation of President Donald Trump’s campaign against the media that's drawn condemnation for eroding a fundamental freedom of American democracy. The new jet was a present from the U.S. ally and the administration spent $400 million on to retrofit and upgrade. The plane entered service last week. But Trump used an older model Air Force One jet to leave a NATO summit in Turkey and later referenced threats against him made by Iran.

Trump suggests a standing order to attack Iran if it assassinates him. But Vance would make the call
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump says he's ordered the U.S. military to destroy Iran if he were to be assassinated. His aim is to deter Tehran with threats of overwhelming retaliation should it try to make good on threats to kill him. But there's no automatic system that allows a president's death to trigger an immediate military response. If Trump were killed, Vice President JD Vance would become president and decide whether to retaliate. He could do so, but it wouldn't be an automatic decision. The U.S. has contingency plans for government continuity but not for immediate strikes upon a president's death.

Judge tosses remnants of Proud Boys seditious conspiracy case after Trump's broad clemency
SUMMARY: A federal judge has dismissed the remnants of the government’s landmark case against far-right Proud Boys members who were convicted of seditious conspiracy. The case involved plotting to attack the Capitol in an effort to keep President Donald Trump in the White House after he lost the 2020 election. The dismissal late Friday became a foregone conclusion when Trump used his pardon powers to erase every case that the government prosecuted after a mob of his supporters stormed the building on Jan. 6, 2021.

Qatar's former ruler Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani has died at 74
SUMMARY: Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani has died at age 74. The state-run Qatar News Agency reported his death without offering a cause.

SUMMARY: Africa’s renewable energy transition is entering a new phase as the continent shifts from proving that clean energy works to building the institutions needed to deploy it at scale.
