Trump Set to Travel to Turkey for NATO Meeting
Trump is heading to Turkey on Tuesday, where he’ll sit down with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ahead of the NATO summit in Ankara. The meeting is set for the morning, and it’s the first time the two leaders will talk face‑to‑face since the summit was announced.
Later that day, Trump is also slated to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The two will discuss NATO’s role in supporting Ukraine’s defense and how the alliance plans to coordinate aid and security guarantees.
Both meetings are part of the broader gathering of NATO members, which kicks off on Tuesday and runs through the weekend. The agenda includes talks on collective defense, strategic deterrence and the alliance’s response to the war in Ukraine.
Analysts say the Turkey stop could shape how the United States positions itself within NATO, especially as the group looks to reaffirm its commitments amid rising tensions in Europe.

EasyJet Accepts Castlelake’s $5 Billion Bid in Principle
The latest report says EasyJet has agreed in principle to a takeover offer that tops £5 billion. The bid comes from Castlelake, a private‑equity firm stepping in as the carrier wrestles with soaring fuel costs and weaker demand after the recent Iran conflict.
The deal would give Castlelake control of the UK budget airline, but the terms still need shareholder approval and regulatory clearance. If it goes through, the transaction could reshape EasyJet’s strategy, potentially giving it more financial backing to weather the current market turbulence.
Analysts note that the price reflects both the airline’s current challenges and its long‑term growth potential. For now, the agreement is a conditional step toward a possible sale, pending the usual board and regulator sign‑offs.

Questioning the hype around Uttar Pradesh’s “revenue surplus” in 10 charts
Yogi Adityanath’s talks about a revenue surplus in Uttar Pradesh sound impressive, but the numbers behind the claim tell a different story. The state’s books show a modest surplus on paper, yet spending on subsidies, salaries and capital projects keeps climbing, outpacing the extra cash it reports. Meanwhile, the fiscal deficit has barely shrunk, and debt levels keep rising, suggesting the surplus is more bookkeeping than real cushion.
The charts also reveal that tax collection isn’t keeping up with the growing economy, so the surplus is partly a result of lower revenue expectations rather than stronger earnings. In short, the headline figure masks a budget that’s still stretched thin, with structural gaps that could bite later.

MAGA Stooge Blasts ‘Weak’ Republicans Over Trump Issue
Kentucky Rep. James Comer put his fellow Republicans on blast for failing to pass legislation pushed by President Donald Trump.
Appearing on Fox News’ The Big Weekend Show on Sunday, Comer was asked by co-host Joey Jones for an update on the SAVE America Act, a bill that would make it mandatory to present a valid ID and proof of citizenship to vote in elections. Voting is already limited to citizens, and critics say that requiring voters to present ID could risk disenfranchising the 21 million Americans who lack easy access to a passport or birth certificate.
The act has faced several setbacks in the Senate, most recently after Republican Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis, and Mitch McConnell joined Democrats in voting against it last month.
The issue got so heated that some Republicans in the House, led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, took issue with their counterparts in the Senate for refusing to send the bill to Trump’s desk, and shut down the floor in protest last week.
The version of the act that narrowly passed the House in February did not include several of the provisions President Trump has sought to add, including a crackdown on mail-in voting, as well as unrelated amendments that included a ban on transgender people participating in women’s sports, and a ban on gender-affirming surgeries for minors.
On Fox on Sunday, Trump loyalist Comer chastised his counterparts in the Senate for failing to support the president’s agenda and ensure the bill is passed, telling the Fox News panel that his fellow Republicans are weak.
“All I’m hearing from Senate leadership is they do not have the votes,” Comer said.
“Some of these Republicans say, ‘We can’t vote for that, because we could lose our elections,‘” he continued. “Are you that weak? That’s my question to any Republican Senator... are you that weak to where if you vote for a valid ID to be shown to vote, you’re gonna get beat in your home state?”
“If you’re that weak, you don’t need to be a United States Senator,” Comer told the panel. “I hope that the Senate will get it together and figure out something that we can pass to give the American people confidence in the integrity of their elections.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Sunday that he plans to work quickly to advance the legislation through the budget reconciliation process once lawmakers return from celebrating the Fourth of July.
“I just decided it was best to send everybody home to go celebrate July Fourth in their districts,” Johnson told Fox News. “We’ll come back, gather everybody together. The big urgency is to get SAVE America passed. The president has that as a top priority, and so do I.”
The president made clear just how high a priority he considers the legislation to be in a March Truth Social rant in which he railed against the “Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats” and urged Republicans not to make any deals with them until they pass the SAVE America Act.
He also urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune to “clearly identify those few ‘Republicans’ that are voting against AMERICA,” warning, “They will never be elected again!”
Frustrated by the lack of movement on the SAVE America Act, Trump has lashed out at Congress, holding up an intelligence nomination and declining to sign a bipartisan housing bill, calling it a “yawn.”
He has continued to advocate for the SAVE America Act, telling attendees at the National Mall for his Fourth of July celebration, “America is back, and we want to keep America great, and we will do so by approving the SAVE America Act.”

Likely origin of mysterious ‘space balls’ found on Queensland beaches revealed by Australian Space Agency
Organisation says objects consistent with ‘debris from a foreign rocket body that recently re-entered the atmosphere’
The Australian Space Agency has said the six so-called “space balls” found in north Queensland were likely from a “foreign rocket body” that had recently re-entered the atmosphere after being in orbit.
The six mysterious objects were found by the public washed ashore in the Forrest Beach area, north of Townsville, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and were suspected of containing hazardous chemicals.
