Executive Summary
Alabama escalated its congressional-map fight to the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday, asking the justices to override a unanimous three-judge panel that found the state’s 2023 map intentionally discriminated against Black voters. Alabama asked for a ruling by Monday. The filing is the second mid-decade redistricting case to land at the Court since the Louisiana v. Callais decision in late April, and a Republican-leaning seat hangs on it.
SOUTHCOM struck a second suspected drug vessel in two days in the Eastern Pacific Wednesday, killing two and bringing Operation Southern Spear’s confirmed kill count since September to 196. An Associated Press investigation released the same morning found that at least 10 men have died by suicide in ICE detention since President Trump’s January 2025 inauguration — seven since October alone, the most for any fiscal year in the agency’s history. Former President Joe Biden sued the Department of Justice Tuesday to block the June 15 release of audio recordings from special counsel Robert Hur’s classified-documents investigation.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis releases April Personal Consumption Expenditures data and the second estimate of first-quarter GDP at 8:30 a.m. ET — Kevin Warsh’s first inflation report as Fed Chair. Russia struck Kyiv overnight with a mass drone barrage; Ukraine downed 58 of 59 Shahed drones. The EPA finalized its Technology Transitions rule loosening Biden-era hydrofluorocarbon restrictions. The death toll at the Longview, Washington paper mill rose to 11 presumed dead as recovery began. Israel expanded ground operations past the yellow line in southern Lebanon, with Prime Minister Netanyahu saying forces are now “capturing controlling areas.”
The country meets the moment courts, Congress, and commodity markets all hand back the bill at once.
