Nearly All Remaining Voice of America Employees Could Be Fired in Proposed Restructuring
The Trump administration notified Congress this week of a plan that would eliminate nearly all of the remaining employees at Voice of America, a federally funded news network that provides independent reporting to countries with limited press freedom. The staff count at Voice of America would shrink from roughly 1,400 journalists and administrative staff to less than 20 as part of the proposed restructuring, according to a letter dated Tuesday and addressed to Senator Jim Risch, Republican of Idaho and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. About a third of those 1,400 workers have already been laid off, however, as the administration has moved rapidly to dismantle a media organization President Trump has attacked as 'the voice of radical America.' The letter, reviewed by The New York Times, was signed by Kari Lake, a key ally of President Trump and a senior adviser for the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees Voice of America. The proposed reorganization is in line with Mr. Trump's orders to slash the size of the federal work force. But the president and his allies have also been harshly critical of the outlet's coverage. He accused the outlet, which delivers news in countries with authoritarian governments such as Russia, China and Iran, of spreading 'anti-American' and partisan 'propaganda.' The letter states that the latest round of firings would lead to 'the deletion' of other news services provided by Voice of America, which broadcast in 49 languages to nearly 100 countries for more than 350 million listeners and readers until March.

Putin tells new pope Kyiv seeks to escalate war, urges Vatican support for Moscow-linked church in Ukraine
Russia wants the Vatican to "take a more active role" in advocating for what it described as freedom of religion in Ukraine, specifically for members of the Moscow-linked Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the Kremlin said in a statement on June 4 following recent diplomatic contacts. Russia's war and occupation of large swaths of Ukraine have led to hundreds of churches being damaged or destroyed, dozens of priests killed or kidnapped, and entire religious groups that don't conform to Moscow's brand of Orthodoxy being banned - all while promoting the Kremlin-controlled Russian Orthodox Church. Sixty-seven clergy members of various faiths have been killed between the start of Russia's all-out war in 2022 and February 2025, the Foreign Ministry said in April, citing the International Religious Freedom or Belief Alliance. Moscow has also been suppressing independent Ukrainian churches and other religions, including the autocephalous Orthodox Church of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, the Roman Catholic Church, Protestant and Muslim groups, and Jehovah's Witnesses, according to Ukrainian officials. Putin also noted that "that the Kyiv regime is banking on escalating the conflict and is carrying out sabotage against civilian infrastructure sites on Russian territory," the statement read. The Kremlin also expressed gratitude to the Pope for the Vatican's readiness to assist in resolving what it called the "crisis" (referring to Russia's war against Ukraine) particularly on humanitarian issues handled "on a depoliticised basis." Putin also reportedly noted a progress in recent direct talks between Russian and Ukrainian officials regarding prisoner exchanges and the return of fallen soldiers' bodies. The Kyiv Independent's "No God but Theirs" examines the systematic persecution of Ukrainian Christians in Melitopol — a city in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Oblast, occupied by Russia since February 2022. The film details how both Protestant and Catholic churches were banned and dispossessed of all property by occupying Russian forces. Clergy were either deported or compelled to flee under threat, while others were falsely accused by Russian propaganda of storing weapons and ammunition. As a result, many members of the religious community were forced to practice their faith in secrecy. The Kyiv Independent spoke with four Christian leaders from Melitopol: Bishop Dmytro Bodyu of the Pentecostal Church "Word of Life," Father Oleksandr Bohomaz of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, and Pastors Mykhailo Brytsyn and Ihor Ivashchuk of the Baptist Church "Grace" whose testimonies provide new details of Russia's targeted repression of Ukrainian Christians.

Republican Megabill Projected to Add $2.4 Trillion to Debt
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office announced today that the broad Republican bill to cut taxes and slash some federal programs would add $2.4 trillion to the already soaring national debt over the next decade. The analysis was all but certain to inflame intraparty tensions between fiscal conservatives and President Trump, who does not share the party's longstanding aversion to government debt. The bill, which was designed to enact the president's agenda, has already passed the House. But some Senate Republicans have vowed to oppose any legislation that, in their view, would lead to excessive government borrowing. Trump said that his critics were misguided and insufficiently loyal. His allies have sought to undermine the budget experts whose job it is to analyze the effects of legislation. The White House has argued that the tax cuts would lead to major economic growth, thus paying for themselves. The Joint Committee on Taxation, another nonpartisan office, disagrees. For more on the Republican bill: We made a list of everything included in the legislation, and how much each provision is expected to cost or save. One big talker in the bill: a proposal to stop taxing tips. Here's who it would benefit. Trump said that Putin would retaliate against Ukraine Trump said that Vladimir Putin told him during a phone call today that he planned to retaliate against Ukraine for its major drone attack. Trump described the call on Russia's war in Ukraine as 'a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate peace.' He did not say whether he had tried to dissuade Putin.
