Trump cancels strikes and claims a deal is imminent. What changed?
President Trump said a potential deal to end Iran war is close, but skeptics say it could be another false start. Aamer Madhani of the Associated Press breaks down what’s different this time. Voters in Switzerland head to the polls Sunday to decide whether their country should cap its population at 10 million. The New Yorker’s Jessi Jezewska Stevens joins to discuss how the vote could transform the Swiss economy and its relationship with the E.U. The Supreme Court’s conservative majority is leaning hard into originalism, the idea that the Constitution means what it meant when it was written. The Wall Street Journal’s James Romoser explains how that’s affecting some of the term’s most consequential cases. Plus, Trump nominated U.S. attorney Jay Clayton as DNI, El Niño has officially begun, and how a deep run by the U.S. men’s soccer team in the World Cup could bring the country together.

Inflation has risen to its highest level in three years as the war in Iran disrupts oil supplies and tariffs drive up prices across the board. Barron’s senior economics writer Megan Leonhardt explains what consumers are feeling right now. President Trump signed the Secure America Act, directing roughly $70 billion to ICE and Border Patrol through fiscal year 2029. The Washington Post’s Jarrell Dillard explains why funding ICE for that long was an unusual step. The largest World Cup in history kicks off today across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.

Rescue and retaliation after a U.S. chopper is downed in the Strait
The U.S. carried out strikes against Iran after President Trump blamed Tehran for downing a U.S. Army helicopter. The Wall Street Journal’s Shelby Holliday details the dramatic rescue of two U.S. soldiers that followed. Election betting is on track for record highs this cycle, and the prediction markets are dealing with a surge of insider trading. Reuters’s Douglas Gillison walks through the cases already emerging. Dozens of families who were separated during the first Trump administration have been separated again, despite a landmark settlement meant to reunify them. Garance Burke of the Associated Press tells us the story of one of those families. Plus, the House passed Republicans’ $70 billion immigration bill, the FDA approved the first new U.S. sunscreen ingredient in nearly two decades, and how the Knicks’ playoff run is making MSG Sports shareholders very rich.

Why Trump is bringing a cage fight to the White House
Strikes between Iran and Israel have stopped for now. But the back-and-forth between Israel and Hezbollah has complicated President Trump’s pursuit of a deal with Iran. The Wall Street Journal’s Alex Ward explains what’s at stake. On Sunday, the White House will host UFC Freedom 250 on the South Lawn. The Hollywood Reporter’s Alex Weprin joins to discuss how the event came together. As the World Cup kicks off in North America, U.S. public-health officials are preparing for potential infectious-disease outbreaks with fewer resources than they had during the pandemic.
