TAKEOFF.
Trump Brokers Truce in Israel-Iran Fight.
President Trump has reinstated a ceasefire between Israel and Iran after both sides briefly resumed attacks, drawing a sharp rebuke from the president.
“They’ve been fighting so long and so hard they don’t know what the f— they’re doing,” Trump told reporters before heading to a NATO summit.
After a tense call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said Israel agreed to call off further strikes.
Trump said the truce was “very much in effect” and expressed optimism it would hold “for a long time.” A GOP congressman nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for the ceasefire.
Mamdani Beats Cuomo in NYC Primary.
Democratic socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani won the first round of the Democratic primary for New York City mayor Tuesday by a surprisingly large margin over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo called Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani to congratulate him on the victory, then said his campaign was “going to take a look and make some decisions.”
The race will be officially decided by ranked choice voting since no candidate received 50% in the first round.
Mamdani, a 33-year-old Democratic socialist, held 43.5% of the vote to Cuomo’s 36.3% with 80% of the votes counted by late Tuesday night.
60s Pop Star Bobby Sherman Dies at 81.
Bobby Sherman, 1960s pop sensation and star of ABC-TV’s Here Come the Brides, died at age 81 after a battle with cancer.
Sherman rose to fame on ABC’s Shindig! and scored several chart-topping hits, including Little Woman and Julie, Do Ya Love Me.
He later left show business to work as an emergency medical technician and reserve police officer in California.
Remembered for his clean-cut image and heartfelt performances, Sherman also co-founded a children’s foundation and leaves behind a legacy of music, service, and family.
POLITICS.
The House on Tuesday easily defeated an effort by Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) to impeach President Trump over the U.S. strikes on Iran, voting 344-79 to table the measure, with 128 Democrats agreeing with Republicans.
New Yorkers voted in the city’s Democratic mayoral primary Tuesday, but they won’t know the winner until July 1, according to the city Board of Elections. The ranked-choice results will take a week to tabulate, and only preliminary results from early rounds will be known before then.
President Trump’s political team has launched a new super PAC devoted to defeating Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie in his 2026 primary, the first effort by the White House to unseat a sitting member of Congress. Massie had opposed Trump’s attack on Iran’s nuclear sites.
The technologist Edward Coristine, known online as “Big Balls,” has resigned from the Department of Government Efficiency where he once worked for Elon Musk. He’d been a full-time government employee for a month.
