Melania Trump wears charm bracelet in tribute to Texas flood victims
Melania Trump tours Texas flooding devastation in subdued ensemble
"I will be back I promised them. I pray for them and am giving them my strength and love," she added.
In a statement shared with press, Trump's official office confirmed that she was gifted a charm bracelet by the Hotze Family - to honor victims of flooding at Camp Mystic, a nearly 100-year-old nondenominational all-girls summer camp that sits on 700 acres.
The flooding has claimed the lives of more than 120 people since heavy rainfall overwhelmed the Guadalupe River and flowed through homes and summer camps in the early morning hours of July 4.
'Filled with grief and devastation': Trump surveys Texas flood damage. Live updates
The president and first lady arrived at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, before traveling to Kerrville, Texas, to survey the damage of catastrophic flooding that tore across the Texas Hill Country, as authorities and volunteers searched for the missing, and local residents mourned the dead.
Earlier in the day, Trump was pictured embracing her husband while departing the White House in a khaki-colored jacket and monochromatic army green look paired with animal print sunglasses and Converse Chuck Taylor kicks, also a fashion favorite of former Vice President Kamala Harris.
For the arrival, Trump tucked her free-flowing waves from earlier under a black baseball cap. In recent months, Trump has made selective public appearances that reflect her private, low-key nature.
However, in major moments, she has appeared alongside the president at a slew of engagements including his second Inauguration festivities, Fourth of July events, the White House Easter egg roll and the administration's multimillion-dollar festival and parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.

The Scottish island village with 'dramatic landscapes' where Donald Trump's mum was born
US President Donald Trump will visit Scotland later this month, returning to his mother's homeland. US President Donald Trump will visit Scotland next week, the White House has confirmed. The trip, taking place from July 25 to 29, will see him return to a country he often references as part of his family heritage. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the President is expected to visit both of his golf resorts in Scotland, Trump Turnberry in South Ayrshire and the Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire. As part of the official visit, President Trump will also meet Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Scotland's First Minister John Swinney. The meeting with the PM is scheduled to take place in Aberdeen, which Trump described as 'the oil capital of Europe'. Trump has long spoken of his strong personal connection to Scotland through his late mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who was born and raised on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. According to VisitScotland: "With dramatic landscapes, a unique Gaelic culture and fascinating history, Lewis and Harris are a great place to start your Hebridean adventure. You will be blown away by wild mountains, immense white beaches, rugged coastlines and lunar landscapes." Born in 1912 in the village of Tong, about three miles from Stornoway, she left the island at the age of 18 to pursue work as a domestic servant in New York. Like many Scots in the early 20th century, Mary Anne emigrated to the United States in search of better opportunities. In 1936, she married Frederick Trump, a wealthy property developer and son of German immigrants. Together they had five children, with President Trump, known on the island as Donald John, their fourth. Mary Anne became a US citizen in 1942 and died in 2000, aged 88. Despite his frequent references to his Scottish roots, the president has not always been warmly received by the residents of his mother's home village. Her family hailed from the surrounding area, with the MacLeods on her father's side originating from Vatisker, just north of Tong. Tong itself has a distinct history of political and cultural identity. Between 1919 and 1921, the village, along with nearby Coll and Gress, was the site of a series of land raids, in which local men challenged absentee landlords by planting crops and dividing sheep-grazing estates into farmland. Tong's residents were regarded as some of the island's most extreme. In a 1990s collection of Stornoway slangs, the residents of Tong were still referred to as "Bolshiveeks." Locals in Tong have previously voiced frustration over Trump's lack of support for the community, contrasting his record with that of his sister and mother. 'He never gave a penny,' locals previously said, pointing out that Mary Anne MacLeod Trump helped fund the construction of the village hall in the 1970s. His older sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, also made a significant donation of £155,000 to a local care home and the Bethesda hospice. Residents have said the president is "feeding off" the legacy of his mother and sister without giving back to the island that shaped their early years. Tong remains a traditional crofting village, situated about four miles northeast of Stornoway. Crofting, weaving of Harris Tweed, and peat cutting are still part of daily life on the island. The area is also known for hosting the annual Lewis Highland Games and the Western Isles Strongman competition. Historically, Lewis was part of Norway until the 13th century, and by the 1800s Tong's economy relied heavily on fishing, farming and weaving. However, widespread land clearances in the late 19th century saw many tenants displaced in favour of large-scale sheep farms and deer forests.

Trump admin rehashes 2016 election and Malcolm-Jamal Warner drowns: Morning Rundown
Donald Trump and his administration are rehashing old grievances amid fallout over its handling of the Epstein case. Actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner drowns on vacation in Costa Rica. And fans spent hours waiting in line before the Tesla Diner opened at exactly 4:20 p.m. in Hollywood. Here's what to know today. Trump intelligence chiefs attempt to rewrite 2016 election history amid Epstein case fallout The Trump administration appears to be trying to move on from the conversation about its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case with a flurry of new social media posts from President Donald Trump, the release of new Justice Department files and by bringing up old grievances. Trump threatened to block a new football stadium in Washington, D.C., if the Commanders didn't change their name back to the Redskins. The administration also released records of the FBI's surveillance of Martin Luther King Jr. yesterday despite opposition from his family. It was not immediately clear whether they would shed any new light on King's life, the Civil Rights Movement or his murder. Afterward's, King's daughter, Bernice King, posted on X: 'Now, do the Epstein files.' And Trump's intelligence chiefs are conducting a systematic campaign to rewrite the history of the 2016 election. National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe have cited declassified emails to allege that Obama administration officials manipulated intelligence and conspired to undermine the legitimacy of Trump's electoral victory in 2016. Gabbard said the emails reveal a 'treasonous conspiracy' by Obama administration officials to undermine Trump's authority as president. Ratcliffe said a review of a 2017 intelligence assessment showed Democratic appointees at the time 'silenced career professionals — all to get to Trump.' But a bipartisan senate investigation in 2020 and a recent CIA review both found that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was the acting chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2020, signed off on the committee's findings that there was no evidence of 'collusion' between the Trump campaign and Russia. But, he added, there was 'irrefutable evidence of Russian meddling.' Trump's 'big beautiful bill' will add $3.4 trillion to the national debt, while the number of uninsured people will increase by 10 million over the next decade, the Congressional Budget Office estimated. In a critical hearing over the Trump administration's threat to slash funding to Harvard University, the Ivy League school accused the administration of violating First Amendment rights while the DOJ argued the funding cuts are a means to protect against antisemitism. Andrew Cuomo made opposition to Trump a major part of his primary campaign for New York mayor. But the president is absent from the former New York governor's general election reboot. The director of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland announced her resignation, marking another high-profile departure as questions loom about the agency's future. Hunter Biden claimed his father's disastrous debate performance last year against Trump was the result of taking a sleeping pill. xAI's last-minute Pentagon deal The Defense Department's inclusion of Elon Musk's xAI in contracts worth up to $200 million was a last-minute addition, a former Pentagon employee said. That decision has raised some eyebrows, especially on the heels of xAI's chatbot, Grok, going on an antisemitic tirade. The program, announced last week, also includes Anthropic, Google and OpenAI. It's billed as a partnership between the Defense Department and U.S. tech companies that are on the frontier of AI development. Glenn Parham, the former Pentagon employee, said the contracts had been in the works for months, dating back to the Biden administration. Before Parham took a government buyout in March, he said the contracts had not included xAI. It's not clear what prompted Pentagon officials to add xAI to the mix of contracts, and the Pentagon said in a statement that Grok's antisemitism episode wasn't enough to disqualify it. Critics are unsure whether xAI's models are reliable enough for government work. Other companies awarded contracts have already gone through a lengthy government review, while xAI hadn't done the same before Parham left his Pentagon job, he said. Psychiatrists speak out about FDA panel on antidepressants An FDA panel discussing the use of antidepressants during pregnancy largely amounted to misinformation or facts taken out of context, according to several psychiatrists who tuned in to yesterday's meeting. Nearly all 10 of the panelists bucked medical consensus on the safety of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, and claimed there were risks associated with taking the drugs while pregnant, such as autism, miscarriages or birth defects. Some panelists claimed that antidepressants don't work at all and that depression goes away on its own. Only one panelist advocated for using SSRIs and pushed back against others' assessments of the risks. 'They were really rousing concerns about safety that are not evidence-based or established and not at all balanced with concerns about the risks of untreated depression,' said Dr. Joseph Goldberg, a clinical professor of psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. Certain studies have found a slightly elevated risk of miscarriage associated with antidepressant use in pregnancy. However, there's no convincing evidence to suggest that SSRIs are linked to autism or birth defects. Read the full story here. 'The Cosby Show' actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner dies at 54 Malcolm-Jamal Warner, the actor best known for his role as Theo Huxtable on 'The Cosby Show,' drowned after he was swept out to sea in Costa Rica, authorities there said. He was 54 years old. Costa Rica's Judicial Investigation Department said Warner was swimming at Pala Cocles in Limón province on Sunday when a current dragged him deeper into the sea. A source close to Warner said he was on vacation with his wife and young daughter, and his family is in the process of bringing his body back to the U.S. for a funeral. Warner rose to prominence for his role as Bill Cosby's fictional son in 'The Cosby Show,' which ran for eight seasons. He went on to star in 'Malcolm & Eddie' and tried his hand at directing. Warner also played the bass, winning a Grammy in 2015 for his work as a featured performer, and he starred in multiple off-Broadway productions. Read the full story here.
