On Cam: Trump's Border Patrol, ICE Agents Go Berserk Inside New York Court, Bash ‘ILLEGAL ALIENS'
Saudi Arabia has officially activated its first Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in Jeddah after successful testing and training. This move aims to bolster Riyadh's defensive capabilities. The inauguration comes weeks after Iran struck a U.S. airbase in Qatar on June 23, following a U.S. bombing of three Iranian nuclear facilities on June 22. Both strikes occurred amidst a 12-day war between Israel and Iran. The THAAD system, operating on a "hit-to-kill" method, can detect missiles over 2,000 km away. Saudi Arabia reportedly bought the THAAD battery for $15 billion during Trump's first term, with plans for six more. The Trump administration also approved $3.5 billion in weapons sales to Riyadh in June and precision-guided weapon sales in March.

2020 election loss, assassination attempt, return to presidency: Donald Trump shares 'best life evolution' video
Donald Trump shares video on life journey US President Donald Trump has shared a video where he, for the first time, acknowledged his defeat in the 2020 presidential election. The video, posted on July 4 via Truth Social on the occasion of the United States' 250th Independence Day, has quickly gained traction online for its unusual tone and message. Titled as 'Best life evolution video of President Donald J Trump', featuring Trump's evolution from childhood to his vast business and political career. It opens with his early years, including his time at the New York Military Academy from 1959 to 1964, and follows through to his takeover of the Trump Organization, his business ventures, and eventual entry into politics. Midway through the video, a caption reads, 'Lost 2020 elections but remain committed to MAGA,' marking a notable departure from Trump's previous statements. Trump has repeatedly claimed that the 2020 election was 'rigged' or stolen. In a 2024 appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast, he said, 'I think the election was a fraud, and many people felt it was that, and they wanted answers.' After the 2020 election, Trump pursued numerous challenges to the results in key battleground states, including Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.

Flanked by Republican legislators and members of his Cabinet, Trump signed the multitrillion-dollar legislation at a desk on the White House driveway, then banged down a gavel gifted to him by House Speaker Mike Johnson that was used during the bill's final passage Thursday.
