Last week's blockbuster jobs report, with more than 265,000 jobs added when including upward employment revisions, was very welcome news to almost all Americans. The exception would be the economists of the Left who throughout Donald Trump's now-five-and-a-half years in the White House keep getting the economy dead wrong.

President Donald Trump provided an update on the ongoing conflict with Iran while speaking with reporters Monday night at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. The president said negotiations with Iran remain active despite continued tensions in the region and suggested there could be greater clarity on the situation within the next several days. Trump also said the U.S. naval blockade remains fully in place, arguing that it continues to restrict Iranian oil exports and other sources of revenue. His comments came as the United States and its allies continue efforts to solidify a fragile ceasefire following recent exchanges of fire involving Iran and Israel. During the exchange with reporters, Trump was also asked about reports that a U.S. Army helicopter had crashed near the Strait of Hormuz. The president said the pilots involved in the incident were not injured and indicated that additional details would be released in an official report. The crash remains under investigation, and officials have not yet provided information about what may have caused the helicopter to go down. Trump's remarks highlighted both the ongoing diplomatic efforts with Iran and the continued military presence in one of the world's most strategically important waterways.

Amtrak and its development partners have released new renderings of a sweeping redesign of New York City's Penn Station, an estimated $8 billion project aimed at transforming one of the nation's busiest transportation hubs. The proposed redesign embraces the station's original classical architectural style, featuring a stone exterior, rows of Roman-style columns, and a grand concourse filled with natural light. The plans mark a significant departure from the station's current appearance and are intended to create a more spacious and welcoming environment for travelers. Inside, the design includes soaring ceilings, bronze finishes, decorative details, and a large traditional station clock. Renderings also show artistic elements celebrating New York City, including a bas-relief depiction of the city's skyline. Among the details highlighted in the plans is a seal honoring President Donald Trump displayed near one of the station's main entrances. Penn Station serves hundreds of thousands of passengers each day through Amtrak, Long Island Rail Road, and New Jersey Transit services. Supporters of the project say the redesign will modernize the facility while restoring some of the grandeur associated with the station's historic roots. The project remains in the planning stages, with officials continuing to refine designs and timelines for construction.

The son of acclaimed Hollywood director Rob Reiner is asking a California court to release money from a family trust that he says is needed to pay for his legal defense in a high-profile murder case. Nick Reiner, 32, has pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from the deaths of his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner and photographer and producer Michele Singer Reiner. The couple were found stabbed to death at their Los Angeles home in December 2025. In a petition filed Monday, Reiner's attorneys argue that funds designated for him in a trust established by his parents are being improperly withheld. The filing contends that Reiner was entitled to receive a portion of the trust when he turned 30 and that trustees have failed to distribute the money. According to court documents, Reiner's legal team says the trust contains at least $1.5 million in assets and that the funds are necessary to secure legal representation and cover other expenses while he remains in custody. The petition also notes that prominent defense attorney Alan Jackson, who previously represented Reiner before withdrawing from the case, is prepared to resume his representation if funding becomes available. Trustees overseeing the account have not publicly responded to the latest filing. Meanwhile, Reiner's criminal case continues to move through the court system. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for September, and prosecutors have not yet determined whether they will seek the death penalty if he is convicted. The case remains under intense public scrutiny, with many details surrounding the deaths and possible motives still undisclosed.

The death toll from the powerful earthquake that struck the southern Philippines has climbed to at least 37 as rescue crews continue searching damaged buildings for survivors. Officials say more than 32,000 people have been displaced following the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that rocked the Mindanao region on Monday. Thousands of residents fled their homes and are now staying in emergency shelters as authorities assess the full extent of the damage. The earthquake, which was centered offshore near Mindanao, caused widespread destruction across several provinces. Buildings collapsed, roads were damaged, and critical infrastructure was impacted throughout the region. Emergency responders have been working around the clock to search heavily damaged structures and ensure no survivors remain trapped beneath the rubble. While only a handful of people are officially listed as missing, authorities say inspections of collapsed buildings are ongoing. The quake is among the strongest to hit the Philippines in decades and serves as a reminder of the country's vulnerability to major seismic events due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire. Officials warn the number of casualties could rise as recovery and search operations continue.

A second detainee has died this year at a Louisiana immigration detention center that has recently come under federal scrutiny over conditions inside the facility. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced that 43-year-old Mamuka Artmeladze, a native of Georgia, was found unresponsive on June 4 at the Winn Correctional Center in Winnfield, Louisiana. Officials said staff immediately began lifesaving measures before Artmeladze was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The cause of death has not yet been determined and remains pending an autopsy. Artmeladze had been held at the facility for nearly four months. According to ICE, he entered the United States illegally on an unknown date and was later arrested in Alabama after authorities determined he no longer had lawful status to remain in the country. His death marks the second detainee death reported at the Winn facility since April and the 19th death in ICE custody nationwide this year. The incident comes just days after a report from the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General identified several concerns at the detention center. The report cited issues involving medical documentation, sanitation, food storage, environmental health and safety, and use-of-force procedures. Federal inspectors also documented several policy violations and made recommendations aimed at improving conditions at the facility. ICE officials said they agreed with the recommendations and have already begun implementing corrective measures. The investigation into Artmeladze's death remains ongoing.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Progressive city council member Nithya Raman has advanced to a November runoff against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, setting up an unexpected matchup between two Democrats and former political allies to run the struggling city of nearly 4 million. The outcome means Spencer Pratt, a Republican and former reality television personality from “The Hills,” is out of the running. Raman made a last-minute entry into the race, after she had endorsed Bass for reelection. The race also has historical markers. Bass is the first Black woman to hold the post, and Raman could be the first South Asian woman in the job.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President JD Vance has added a chicken coop, along with a dozen baby chicks, to his residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory. The new coop is designed to look like the Victorian home where the second family lives. It features a round turret and a faux slate roof. It was donated by the company Carolina Coops, which has drawn a social media following for its stylish coops. Company President Matthew DuBoise said it was an honor to be chosen for the project. Vice presidents since 1977 have lived on the grounds of the Naval Observatory, and many have left their own imprint on the property.

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump is set to be the first sitting U.S. president to attend an NBA Finals game. Trump is expected to be at Madison Square Garden on Monday night for Game 3 between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs. Trump's appearance led the New York Police Department and Secret Service to cancel a watch party outside and institute a no-bag policy for ticket holders. Mayor Zohran Mamdani is also expected to be there. The Knicks are in the finals for the first time since 1999, lead the series two games to none and are two wins from their first championship since 1973.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Graham Platner has been met by an enthusiastic and supportive crowd at a town hall-style event in Maine. The Democrat is looking to advance his Senate campaign after reports about his past treatment of women just days before the state’s crucial primary. The Democratic primary is still seen as Platner’s to win, but he is facing questions about his past that could make it difficult to defeat longtime incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. The New York Times reported an ex-girlfriend’s allegations that Platner was rough with her during arguments and once twisted her arm behind her back and locked her in a room. Platner denies those allegations. He spoke to about 400 cheering supporters in Portland on Sunday night.

t makes absolutely no sense for Spencer Pratt the immensely popular, independent candida to somehow fall behind in the L.A. mayoral race and get beat by an unknown like Nithya Raman/ Well, maybe we shouldn't be surprised. This is California we're talking about, with lax voter ID rules so weak you can literally use a gym membership to vote. And let's not forget those last-minute mail-in ballots that magically show up and can't be counted until after Election Day. Even President Trump is calling California out for rigging elections.
