The crackdown was swift and the message was unequivocal: Columbia University has little tolerance for protesters who spark chaos on campus.
The New York City school's acting president, Claire Shipman, said she was 'incensed' after masked demonstrators on Wednesday burst into the school's main library and draped Palestinian flags along its walls, disrupting 900 students studying for final exams. By the end of the day, the police were called in, protesters were cleared out and 80 people were arrested.

Republicans face a ferocious ad campaign surrounding Trump's ‘big, beautiful bill'
A ferocious advertising campaign is underway with passage of President Donald Trump's landmark policy bill hanging in the balance, as political groups and business interests spent at least $35 million just this month to try to sway key members of Congress and their constituents. Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina was facing the pressure from both sides before he announced Sunday that he wouldn't seek reelection in 2026. Americans for Prosperity, an arm of the conservative megadonor Charles Koch's political network, spent nearly $2 million this month in key media markets such as Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham. 'Trump's tax cuts put money back in my pocket, and they're helping young families save for their first homes,' says a woman featured in one of the ads from AFP. 'Congress needs to save our tax cuts and protect prosperity.' At the same time, the Democratic-aligned group Unrig Our Economy spent nearly $1 million hammering Tillis over Medicaid cuts in the bill. 'Sen. Thom Tillis could vote to take away our health care and give tax breaks to billionaires,' an ad from the group warns. Other Republicans in swing districts face the same dynamic heading into a midterm campaign in which they will need to reach at least some voters who don't back Trump without angering the president or his core supporters. In Tillis' case, he announced he wouldn't seek reelection hours after Trump called for him to face a primary challenge because he didn't support a procedural vote on the 'big, beautiful bill.' 'We so often hear of members concerned about their general reelection efforts, but that is all for naught if you can't get through a primary,' said John Thomas, a Republican strategist and ad maker. 'To add even more pressure, the GOP base is extremely supportive of President Trump, much more than their individual federal representative. Break rank with Trump and there is a price to pay.' Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon, a Republican from a battleground district who last week announced plans to retire, commented Friday on the advertising blitz surrounding the legislation. 'I think the other guys, look, they put $500,000 on me this week saying 'Don Bacon's cutting Medicaid,'' he told CNN's Manu Raju. 'There's a lot of goodness here, but we gotta talk about it and show the voters.' In June alone, according to data from the ad-tracking firm AdImpact, a sprawling collection of large PACs and interest groups spent more than $35 million on dozens of ads about the bill, which contains a range of Trump administration policy priorities on taxes, spending and immigration. Republicans account for about half of that spending, while Democrats account for about a quarter and independent and business PACs for another quarter. Hundreds of thousands of dollars more have been spent on ads not explicitly mentioning the sweeping legislation but referencing looming policy changes and parochial interests, backed by other business and lobbying groups. Late Saturday night, after intense negotiations, the sweeping bill narrowly cleared a major procedural hurdle in the Senate by a 51-49 vote, backed by several key swing votes — among those buffeted by ad campaigns — in the spotlight, such as Maine Sen. Susan Collins, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley. Major challenges for the giant tax and spending bill remain, however, as it still faces amendments and a final vote in the Senate. The House will have to vote to accept a significantly changed piece of legislation from the Senate after only narrowly approving its own version of the bill weeks ago. A group aligned with Trump's political network, 'Securing American Greatness,' has spent more than $7.7 million on ads in June, leading all advertisers with a broad campaign, much of it aimed at shoring up support among House members. 'Mariannette Miller-Meeks just voted for President Trump's working family tax cuts that mean higher wages and lower taxes for working families,' says an ad from the group targeting the key battleground representative from Iowa who won her last reelection by 798 votes. At the same time, the pro-Trump group is hammering congressional Democrats in competitive districts for their opposition to the bill, raising the prospect of higher taxes if an extension of 2017 tax cuts, included in the legislation, fails to pass. 'It's Washington's game, taxing us to bankroll their liberal waste,' says an ad from the group targeting California Democratic Rep. Josh Harder, reelected in 2024 by a margin of about 9,000 votes. 'Tell Josh Harder we can't afford his tax hikes.' With the key procedural hurdle cleared on Saturday, Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer underscored the political challenges would get easier once the bill was passed. 'Well, it doesn't get easier,' the North Dakota senator said. 'I just think, at some point, you just have to take what you know — all the data, all the analysis, all the discussion, all the hearings — and apply them to a vote. Pass the bill. And the sooner we do that, the sooner all the good things will kick in, and that will alleviate, I think, people's concerns.'

Multiple firefighters shot, killed while responding to North Idaho brush fire; suspect found dead
Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris delivers remarks at a press conference on June 29, 2025, after a shooter opened fire on firefighters who were responding to an emergency call of a brush fire in Coeur d'Alene. (Screenshot) Update: This story was last updated at 11:45 p.m. Mountain time on June 29. Two firefighters have been killed and another is injured after crews in North Idaho responded to emergency calls of a brush fire and a shooter opened fire on their response. Kootenai Health spokesperson Kim Anderson said three victims were brought to the Coeur d'Alene hospital, the Associated Press reported. Two were dead on arrival and the third is being treated for injuries, Anderson said, according to the AP. The injured firefighter has been released from surgery, Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris said at a 9:30 p.m. Pacific time Sunday press conference. Information about his injuries or their extent was not released. 'He is fighting for his life but is in stable condition,' the sheriff said. The fire was reported around 1:30 p.m. Pacific time Sunday near the east side of Canfield Mountain in Coeur d'Alene. The shooter opened fire around 2 p.m., Norris said. The sheriff said he believes the two incidents are related. 'We do believe that the suspect started the fire, and we do believe that it was an ambush and that it was intentional,' Norris said. 'We do believe he started it, and it was totally intentional, what he did.' At about 8:50 p.m. Sunday, the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office said in a press release that a responding SWAT team located a dead man with a rifle nearby on Canfield Mountain. A shelter-in-place order from the Kootenai County Emergency Management system has now been lifted, according to the sheriff's office. However, the brush fire, named the Nettleton Gulch Fire, is still burning because firefighters had to suspend their response while the shooter was still active. 'There is still an active wildfire on Canfield Mountain,' Kootenai County Emergency Management said in a Sunday night post on Facebook. 'Local residents should be prepared and ready in the event that the situation escalates. Please continue to follow official sources for accurate information.' Fire crews were unable to access the fire until it was deemed safe at around 7:30 p.m., the Idaho Department of Lands said in a press release. 'Crews estimate the fire to be about 15-20 acres, with numerous snags and steep terrain,' the press release says. 'Additional resources including aircraft, heavy equipment, water tenders, engines, hand crews and a Type 3 Incident Management Team are on order and anticipated to work the fire tomorrow.' The cause of the fire remains under investigation, the Department of Lands said in the release. The Canfield Mountain area has been designated a no-fly zone, 'including a strict prohibition on drone use,' the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office said in Sunday night press release. 'Unauthorized aircraft or drones in the area pose a serious risk to firefighting and law enforcement operations.' The sheriff urged the public to wait until official information is released by law enforcement to donate to funds to benefit the victims' families. Scammers have been known to take advantage of tragedies like this and start GoFundMe fundraising campaigns without the consent of the families, he said. 'The first call was at 1:21 (p.m.) on a fire, and then we started receiving over our radio that the firefighters were receiving shots fired from the mountain,' Norris said. The responding fire crews, which included three engines, were dispatched from from Kootenai County Fire and Rescue and the Coeur d'Alene Fire Department. One of the firefighters killed was from Kootenai County Fire and Rescue, while the other was from the Coeur d'Alene Fire Department. The injured firefighter served the Coeur d'Alene Fire Department, Norris said. 'There is a belief that (the shooter) ran and shot, so we don't know what (evidence) we might be collecting once the fire threat diminishes,' Norris said. Norris said the suspect's body was removed from the scene to preserve it due to the threat of the fire. The sheriff held two press conferences on Sunday: one at 4:30 p.m. Pacific, and one at 9:30 p.m. 'We are actively taking sniper fire as we speak,' Norris said at 4:35 p.m. Pacific time. 'This is an active situation. We have multiple agencies that are on scene from local and federal authorities, and we are prepared to neutralize this suspect who is currently, actively shooting at public safety personnel.' The sheriff said 'it appears modern-day sporting rifles are being used' in the attack. Norris initially said law enforcement was unsure if there is one shooter or multiple attackers, but at the evening press conference, he said the ongoing investigation was pointing to one shooter. At the afternoon conference, he said officers and deputies were reporting from the scene that the shooter was 'blending in with their surroundings' and that shots were being fired from what seemed like multiple directions. 'It's going to be a tough next couple hours. I'm hoping that somebody has a clear shot and is able to neutralize (the shooter),' Norris said at the afternoon press conference. 'Because they are not showing at this point in time any evidence that they are wanting to surrender.' Authorities are unsure whether the shooter was killed by responding officers or if he killed himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Norris said. He said an autopsy of the suspect's body is scheduled in Spokane and would offer more information on how he died. Multiple local North Idaho, state and federal agencies — an estimated 300 law enforcement officers, some from as far away as Montana — responded to the incident, Norris said. Dan Bongino, the FBI's deputy director, said in a post on X said that officials from the FBI had been dispatched 'to provide tactical and operational support' to the scene. U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, reposted the update on his account. Kootenai County Commission chairman Bruce Mattare said the shooting was 'senseless and tragic beyond words.' 'June 29,2025, is a day that we will not forget in this community,' Mattare said at the evening press conference. 'It is the day evil showed its face and we lost two outstanding professionals of the highest quality, and I cannot fathom why anyone would commit such a heinous act.' The commissioner said this kind of 'senseless violence is unheard of here' and does not reflect Coeur d'Alene as a community. 'When you hear how others portray the people who live here on the news, it's not true,' Mattare said. 'What happened here decades ago is not reflective of the fine people who live here today. And I want everyone to know that this is a wonderful place to live, to raise your family and visit.' He stressed that resources were being provided at the state and federal level to investigate the killings and fire. 'Multiple heroic firefighters were attacked today while responding to a fire in North Idaho,' Idaho Gov. Brad Little said in a post on X. 'This is a heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters. I ask all Idahoans to pray for them and their families as we wait to learn more. (Idaho first lady) Teresa and I are heartbroken.' The governor and emergency response officials urged the public to stay away from the area while police secure and process the scene. 'Gut-wrenching news coming from Coeur d'Alene,' Simpson posted on X. 'As the situation develops, our thoughts and prayers are with the brave firefighters and all first responders on the scene.' U.S. Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch, both R-Idaho, also posted on X that they are monitoring the reports on the incident and are praying for the first responders and their families. 'I am monitoring the horrific reports out of Coeur d'Alene this evening,' Crapo posted. 'I urge local residents to follow recommendations of law enforcement. My prayers are with victims and first responders.' In a statement at 7 p.m. Sunday, Idaho House Republican leadership said they were 'shocked by such a vicious attack.' 'We are horrified by the murder of two firefighters in Coeur d'Alene, and shocked by such a vicious attack on our first responders. We are praying for them, the injured, their families and their colleagues,' the statement said.
