Trump disputes Iran attack plan report; TikTok deadline extended
Happy Thursday — It's Juneteenth! It's a fairly quiet day in Washington for the federal holiday, but it's a workday at the White House. Oh, and today is the last full day of spring! 🌷 In today's issue: 🌍 IRAN LATEST President Trump pushed back on The Wall Street Journal's reporting that he has OKed an attack plan against Iran. 'The Wall Street Journal has No Idea what my thoughts are concerning Iran!' Trump posted on Truth Social this morning. The gist of that WSJ report: Trump reportedly told senior aides he approved an attack plan for Iran but is holding off on giving the final 'OK' in order to give Iran one last chance to abandon its nuclear program. What do we know about Trump's thinking?: He is keeping his strategy under wraps while Israel and Iran exchange missile barrages. 'Nobody knows what I'm going to do,' Trump stressed to reporters on Wednesday. The latest in the Middle East: Israel has vowed to intensify its attacks after Iran targeted a civilian hospital in southern Israel on Thursday. Dozens of people were left with minor injuries, but the strike caused 'extensive' damage. 📸 Photos of the hospital Israel revealed today that it has also targeted 'key sites' related to Iran's nuclear capabilities. And Israel's military has ramped up its rhetoric against Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, days after Trump threatened to target him. Happening on Friday: Iranian officials will meet with foreign ministers of the United Kingdom, Germany and France, plus the European Union foreign policy chief. 🗨️ Follow today's live blog The U.S. has begun Israel evacuations: The State Department has begun evacuating nonessential government diplomats and their families from Israel, according to The Associated Press. This comes days after Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced he would no longer travel to Israel for a planned address. How do lawmakers feel about potential U.S. involvement?: Senators in both parties are nervous about the possibility of Trump inserting the U.S. in the Israel-Iran conflict.

Thune's goal is to bring the Senate's version of the 'big, beautiful bill' to the floor next week, which is becoming an ambitious timeline considering the obstacles. What's happening behind the scenes?: Thune and Senate Finance Committee Chair Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) are having discussions about the specifics of the Medicaid cuts. GOP holdouts' concerns: They're concerned that Medicaid's costs would shift too much to the states and onto lower-income Americans. There are also concerns about the Medicaid work and eligibility requirements. How these negotiations may play out: 'Republican sources familiar with the negotiations say they expect Senate GOP leaders and the holdouts to work out some sort of deal to provide direct financial assistance to rural hospitals that would be in danger of closing if the Senate bill passes in its current form.'

Trump faces mounting pressure at home and abroad as he weighs options on Iran
The world is waiting for President Donald Trump's decision on whether the U.S. will join Israel in military action to wipe out Tehran's nuclear facilities. As he weighs his options, Trump is being squeezed by different pressures from forces at home and abroad. The president huddled with advisers in the Situation Room twice already this week, and was set to do so again on Thursday. He approved attack plans presented to him but was waiting to see if Iran would be willing to negotiate and hasn't made a final decision, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. Moving ahead with military action would be a departure from Trump's "America First" campaign pledge to keep the U.S. out of foreign entanglements. The possibility he may do so has prompted a sharp rift in his Republican base of supporters. Hawkish members of the GOP are pushing for Trump to take aggressive action rather than pursue diplomacy. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, during an interview on Fox News earlier this week, said the U.S. needs to "finish the job" with Iran. Meanwhile, hugely popular MAGA media figures like Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon who helped propel Trump's movement in 2016 and in 2024 are calling for restraint. A poll out on Wednesday from Fox News found voters split on the issues Trump is facing. A majority of registered voters surveyed believe Israel's strikes on Iran's nuclear program would result in more danger. But a majority also believes Iran poses a national security threat to the U.S. Trump, in response to the disagreement among his base, says his supporters are "more in love" with him than ever. Democrats in Congress are raising their own concerns over Trump's war power authority. Sen Tim Kaine, a Virginia Democrat, moved to limit Trump's powers by introducing a floor resolution that would require approval from Congress before the U.S. could get involved in a military conflict with Iran. On the world stage, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to press Trump to join the fray, arguing it's in America's interest. "Today, it's Tel Aviv. Tomorrow, it's New York. Look, I understand 'America First'. I don't understand 'America Dead.' That's what these people want," Netanyahu told ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl last week. Netanyahu pointedly added, "We're not just fighting our enemy. We're fighting your enemy. For God's sake, they chant, 'death to Israel, death to America.' We're simply on their way. And this could reach America soon." Iran, however, and its allies (Russia and China) are pushing against U.S. involvement. Tehran has warned any action would be met with retaliation. Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday: "The Americans should know, the Iranian nation will not surrender, and any intervention by the U.S. will be met with a forceful response and irreparable damage." "War will be met with war, bombing with bombing, and strike with strike. Iran will not submit to any demands or dictates," Khamenei said. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, testifying before a Senate subcommittee on Wednesday, said the U.S. military was "ready and prepared" to carry out any decision Trump will make. Hegseth told lawmakers that Trump "has options and is informed of what those options might be, and what the ramifications of those options might be.' He also said that 'maximum force protection at all times is being maintained' for American troops in the region. Trump offered a clue into his decision-making process as he took reporter questions in the Oval Office on Wednesday afternoon.

Trump's Disastrous Budget Bill Is Even More Expensive Than We Thought
Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' would increase the total U.S. deficit by nearly $2.8 trillion over the next decade, according to a new analysis from the Congressional Budget Office. Previous estimates suggested that the massive spending bill would add $2.4 trillion to the national deficit over the next 10 years, but a 'dynamic' estimate published Tuesday takes into account how the legislation would affect the U.S. economy—and things got even more dire. The CBO projected that an increase in economic output would decrease the primary deficit by $85 billion over the 2025–2034 period, while also significantly boosting interest rates, which would push the federal debt to a whopping $441 billion. 'Incredible—CBO says the House-passed GOP bill pays for only 3.5% of itself,' Bobby Kogan, the senior director of federal budget policy at the Center for American Progress, wrote on X Tuesday. Despite previous damning reports, MAGA Republicans backing the bill have continued to claim that the CBO is biased, rather than make any concessions, and have claimed that the CBO's evaluations of the legislation's cost don't take the revenue from Trump's sweeping global tariffs into effect. In a letter to Democratic lawmakers earlier this month, the CBO projected that Trump's tariffs, as they were in mid-May, could decrease the deficit by $2.8 trillion—but said any projection came with some uncertainty, as Trump's tariffs are ever-vacillating. The newest analysis suggests that the costs will only go up after taking the economy into account. The CBO estimated that over the next decade, the legislation would affect the economy by increasing gross domestic product by an average of 0.5 percent, increasing the interest rates on 10-year Treasury notes by 14 basis points, and increasing inflation 'by a small amount' through 2030, but not afterward.
