Good morning, and Happy Father’s Day to all the incredible dads out there. It is morning in America—an America waking up, rising up, and speaking out.

Yesterday, we witnessed history. More than five million Americans took to the streets for No Kings Day, marching not just in protest, but in powerful affirmation of our shared values: human rights, decency, and the belief that this country belongs to all of us—not just the privileged few in power. If you're with us—if you believe this movement must grow—subscribe now to stay informed and help us amplify this momentum.

I spoke with organizers across the country, and the message was clear: this isn't a moment. It's a movement. My favorite sign? “If our political news is always breaking news, our country is broken.”

It's true—our country is broken. But yesterday, something beautiful broke through the noise: unity, hope, and a collective will to fix what’s been shattered.

While Trump presided over a soggy, thinly attended military parade, Americans showed up in force—peaceful, proud, and powerful. His frown in the rain said it all: he saw the truth. The people are not with him. They are with each other.

This is what democracy looks like. This is how we win. And we will. With that, here’s the news you missed overnight:

Israel v. Iran

  • More missiles incoming: Israel says Iran launched another round of missiles Sunday, urging Israelis to stay close to shelters as the threat continues.
  • Tehran under fire: Explosions rocked the Iranian capital again after Israeli strikes targeted key energy and defense sites. Israel says it’s hitting nonstop.
  • Rising casualties in Israel: At least 13 people have been killed in Israel, including four in one strike. Netanyahu warned this is what’s at stake if Iran gets nukes—stopping that is a key goal of Israel’s campaign.
  • Panic in Iran: People in Tehran are fleeing north or scrambling for supplies. The metro is running 24/7 as makeshift shelter. Casualties are reportedly high, but Iran hasn’t released numbers.
  • Long fight ahead: Israeli officials say the operation will last “weeks, not days,” and it’s moving ahead with quiet backing from the U.S. Trump says America isn’t involved but warned Iran not to target U.S. interests.

    • Minnesota

  • Police are searching for 57-year-old Vance Boelter, suspected of killing State Rep. Melissa Hortman and injuring State Sen. John Hoffman in what officials call a politically motivated attack.
  • Boelter allegedly impersonated a police officer, shooting at real officers from a fake squad car before fleeing.
  • Investigators found a “hit list” of nearly 70 names in his vehicle, mostly Democrats or abortion rights supporters.
  • Governor Tim Walz confirmed both shootings were connected and targeted, calling it a political assassination attempt.
  • Hoffman and his wife survived the shooting; the Hortmans did not.
  • Boelter once worked for a private security firm with police-style gear, registered to his home.
  • A vocal evangelical Christian, he criticized U.S. LGBTQ rights in sermons abroad but kept a low political profile publicly.
  • His car contained a hit list naming figures like Rep. Ilhan Omar and Sen. Tina Smith.

    • Other U.S. News

  • Millions protest Trump’s power grab: While tanks rolled through D.C., millions across 2,100+ locations joined “No Kings” protests against Trump’s overreach, uniting more than 100 groups under a nonviolent banner.
  • Trump sends in troops: After deploying National Guard and Marines to crack down on protesters in L.A.—defying local officials—Trump’s show of force drew comparisons to the civil rights era and fueled even bigger turnout nationwide.
  • Grenell eyes California run: Trump ally Ric Grenell says he’d seriously consider running for California governor in 2026—if Kamala Harris jumps into the race.
  • Australian writer deported over pro-Palestine coverage: U.S. border agents detained and deported journalist Alistair Kitchen at LAX, questioning him for hours about his views on Israel, Palestine, and student protests—he says it was a politically motivated move.
  • Trump pulls back on farm and hotel raids: After admitting his immigration crackdown was hurting agriculture and hospitality, Trump’s administration is now pausing workplace deportation raids in those sectors—ICE will only act if there’s a criminal probe.
  • ICE arrests soar under Trump—regardless of criminal record: Despite claims of targeting “criminals,” new data shows a major spike in ICE detentions of immigrants with no convictions since Trump’s return—many were arrested simply for having pending charges or no record at all.

    • See you this evening.
