The Ukrainian Air Force says Russia has launched a major aerial attack on Ukraine, firing 574 drones and 40 missiles. The attack has targeted western regions, killing at least one person and injuring 15 others. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister says a major U.S. electronics manufacturer was hit. This marks Russia's third-largest aerial attack this year by drone count. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has condemned the attack, urging stronger international pressure on Moscow. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy plans to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin that potentially could involve U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss security guarantees and peace efforts.
The Office of National Intelligence says it will dramatically reduce its workforce and cut its budget by more than $700 million annually. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says the office "has become bloated and inefficient, and the intelligence community is rife with abuse of power, unauthorized leaks of classified intelligence, and politicized weaponization of intelligence.” She says the intelligence community “must make serious changes to fulfill its responsibility to the American people and the U.S. Constitution by focusing on our core mission: find the truth and provide objective, unbiased, timely intelligence to the President and policymakers.”
Nebraska has announced plans for an immigration detention center in the state’s remote southwest corner as President Donald Trump’s administration races to expand the infrastructure necessary for increasing deportations. The Trump administration is adding new detention facilities across the country to hold the growing number of immigrants it has arrested and accused of being in the country illegally. The facilities include the remote detention center in the Florida Everglades known as “Alligator Alcatraz." The Nebraska facility has already been dubbed the “Cornhusker Clink.” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement centers held more than 56,000 immigrants in June, the most since 2019.
A dangerous heat wave has descended on much of California and the U.S. Southwest, with triple-digit temperatures expected along with a higher risk of wildfires. Officials opened cooling centers this week in Los Angeles and warned residents to avoid strenuous outdoor activities. California Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered state firefighting resources deployed in areas where blazes could ignite. The peak of the heat wave will hit Arizona on Thursday and Friday. Temperatures there could possibly reach 110 degrees Fahrenheit in the southern and western parts of the state.
