Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is heading to the White House as Joe Biden's administration is stepping up pressure on Congress to provide billions more in aid to Kyiv.
Ukrainian President Zelensky's decision to postpone his foreign visits amidst escalating tensions with Russia reflects the severity of the situation, coinciding with troubling reports of Russian forces capturing key villages near the border. Ukrainian Defense Minister Umerov's acknowledgment of the challenging circumstances highlights the urgent need for increased ammunition deliveries. Concerns persist over Ukraine's readiness to defend against a major Russian attack, compounded by ongoing drone strikes targeting critical military assets like the advanced Bogdana Self-Propelled Guns. The conflict in the Kharkiv Region intensifies as Russian forces make territorial gains, prompting global scrutiny and raising fears of further destabilisation in the region.

Biden Asserts Executive Privilege , Over Audio of Interview With Robert Hur.
In February, Hur's yearlong investigation
into whether President Biden mishandled classified documents ended without enough evidence to support criminal charges.
In February, Hur's yearlong investigation
into whether President Biden mishandled classified documents ended without enough evidence to support criminal charges.
House Republicans were provided a
transcript of Biden's interview with Hur, but they wanted the audio, which the DOJ denied.
As a result, House Republicans were
moving to hold Attorney General
Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.
On May 16, the Department of Justice told House Republicans that the president asserted executive privilege over audio from his interview with the special counsel.
The move protects Garland from criminal exposure as GOP lawmakers seek to hold him accountable.
Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte
explained the DOJ's actions in a letter.
The Attorney General must draw a line
that safeguards the Department from
improper political influence and protects
our principles, our law enforcement work,
and the people who carry out that work
independently, without fear or favor, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
The Committees seek to hold the
Attorney General in contempt
not for failing in his duties,
but for upholding them, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
With the information you now have,
the Committees ought not to proceed
with contempt and should instead avoid
unnecessary and unwarranted conflict, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
White House Counsel Ed Siskel also wrote a letter supporting the assertion of executive privilege. .
The absence of a legitimate need
for the audio recordings lays bare
your likely goal—to chop them up,
distort them, and use them for
partisan political purposes, White House Counsel Ed Siskel, via letter

On May 15, President Biden revealed that he agreed to an offer from CNN to debate Donald Trump and then challenged his predecessor to do the same.

from @CNN for a debate on June 27th.
Over to you, Donald. As you said:
anywhere, any time, any place, President Joe Biden, via X.
Donald Trump lost two debates to
me in 2020. Since then he hasn’t shown
up for a debate. Now he’s acting like
he wants to debate me again, President Joe Biden, via video message.
Well, make my day, pal, I’ll even do it
twice. So let’s pick the dates, Donald –
I hear you’re free on Wednesdays, President Joe Biden, via video message.
Trump took to Truth Social to respond.
I am Ready and Willing to Debate
Crooked Joe at the two proposed
times in June and September, Donald Trump, via Truth Social.
Both candidates have expressed a preference to debate sooner than the fall dates initially proposed by the Commission on Presidential Debates.

According to Biden campaign chair
Jen O'Malley Dillion, those dates are
"out of step with changes in the structure of our elections and the interests of voters.".
Trump went on to say that he'd like
to debate Biden more than twice.
I would strongly recommend more
than two debates and, for excitement
purposes, a very large venue, although
Biden is supposedly afraid of crowds - , Donald Trump, via Truth Social.
That’s only because he doesn’t get
them. Just tell me when, I’ll be
there. 'Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!', Donald Trump, via Truth Social.

single month decline since mid-2021.
The latest news is still better than
last May when inflation was at 4%
compared to the current 3.5% reading.
However, CNN points out that despite inflation
being lower than the same time last year, the numbers
have been moving in the wrong direction.
The trajectory has shifted
economist expectations for
the Federal Reserve to cut rates. .
The latest Fed report saw expectations
for year-ahead inflation increase
to 3.5% from the 3.2% forecast in April. .
At the same time, long-run
expectations for inflation also
increased to 3.1% from April's 3.0%. .
According to Chicago Federal Reserve
President Austan Goolsbee, the latest data , "bodes awful for progress on inflation.".
There isn’t, at this time,
much evidence in my view that
inflation is stalling out at 3%, Austan Goolsbee, Chicago Federal Reserve President, via CNN

A driver died after crashing a car into the exterior gate of the White House late Saturday, the US Secret Service said. "Shortly before 10:30 pm a vehicle travelling at a high speed collided with an outer perimeter gate on the White House complex" the service said in a statement on social media platform X. The Secret Service, along with the police and fire departments of the District of Columbia, have launched an investigation into the fatal crash, according to Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi. He added there was "no threat or public safety implications". In January, authorities detained another person who crashed a vehicle into the exterior gate of the same complex.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico faced a critical assassination attempt by Juraj Cintula, a 71-year-old man with dissent against Fico's policies, particularly regarding arms shipments to Ukraine. Fico's decision to halt arms deliveries after his election victory drew backlash, allegedly motivating Cintula's actions. Described as a "lone wolf" with no extremist affiliations, Cintula's frustrations with government decisions may have been accelerated by the recent presidential election results. Both allies and opposition leaders denounced the attack, highlighting its threat to Slovakia's democracy. Cintula's background as a former security guard and poet adds complexity to the situation. The incident occurred amid debates over the dissolution of Slovakia's public broadcaster, further heightening concerns about political stability. Fico's condition remains serious as Slovakia awaits updates on his recovery.
