Former President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Thomas Crooks fired five shots from an AR-15 rifle from a 120-yard distance. The incident highlighted critical security lapses compared to the SPG protocols for India's PM Modi, which include limited exposure and thorough sweeps. Footage revealed disorganised Secret Service personnel, insufficient Bullet-resistant shields, and Sniper protection. This event recalls the assassination of Japan's former PM Shinzo Abe and underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive review of security measures for political candidates.

Donald Trump was shot at today during an election rally in Pennsylvania. The former US President is reported to be safe and recuperating under medical care. However, conflicting reports are emerging about the incident. While Trump asserts that he was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of his right ear, law enforcement officials claim he was hit by glass fragments, possibly from a teleprompter broken by the bullets. This discrepancy has fueled conspiracy theories, with some social media users calling the event a staged 'photo op' for sympathy and votes. President Biden has condemned the attack as "sick," and tech mogul Elon Musk has publicly endorsed Trump following the incident. The true details of what happened remain under investigation.

Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the court's

transgressors of their constitutional right to a jury trial. .
The SEC relies on administrative
law judges (ALJ) to make legal conclusions
in cases brought before the agency.
The Supreme Court's decision has the potential
to send ripples through dozens of agencies,
from labor rights to energy regulation.
The Court did exclude from its decision those
agencies dealing with federal benefits, while some
conservative justices wanted the ruling to go further.
The three liberal justices
in dissent blasted the
decision by the majority. .
The case was brought by a former conservative
radio host and hedge fund manager, George Jarkesy,
following an SEC fraud investigation.

An in-house evidentiary hearing fined Jarkesy $300,000,
ordered him to pay back almost $700,000 in ill-gotten
profits and barred him from the securities industry.
Jarkesy argued that he was entitled to a jury trial
held in a federal court and that Congress lacked
the power to delegate such authority to the SEC.
NPR reports that Jarkesy's case was supported
by a number of conservative and business groups, and individuals such as Elon Musk.

Elon Musk , Welcomes 12th Child.
Musk and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis welcomed their third child together earlier this year, CBS News reports.
Musk recently confirmed the birth in a
'New York Post' interview but didn't
share the baby's name or sex.
He also addressed rumors
that the birth was a secret.
As for 'secretly fathered,'
that is also false. , Elon Musk, to the 'New York Post'.
All our friends and family know. Failure
to issue a press release, which would
be bizarre, does not mean 'secret.', Elon Musk, to the 'New York Post'.
Musk and Zilis also had twins in 2021,
months before the Tesla and SpaceX CEO
had a second child with Grimes.

In a 2022 tweet, Musk said that declining
birth rates represent "the biggest
danger civilization faces by far.".
He also said, "Doing my best to
help the underpopulation crisis.".
Many countries are already well
below replacement rate, and the
trend is that almost all will be. This is
simply a fact, not a 'debunked theory.', Elon Musk, to the 'New York Post'.
Musk also fathered six children with
Justine Wilson, although they lost their first child to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

European Union Announces , Higher Tariffs on Chinese EVs.
On June 12, the EU said it will
impose higher tariffs on imports of
Chinese electric vehicles (EVs), CNBC reports. .
The increase in tariffs is the result of a
probe launched by the EU in October.
According to the EU, the Chinese imports benefit "heavily from unfair subsidies" and threaten "economic injury" to European EV producers.
The influx of subsidized Chinese imports
at artificially low prices therefore
presents a threat of clearly foreseeable
and imminent injury to EU industry, European Commission, via statement.
A 38.1% tariff will be imposed on battery electric vehicle producers who refused to cooperate with the bloc's investigation.
A 21% tariff will be implemented for carmakers in China who complied
but have yet to be "sampled.".
On June 11, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of Commerce called the higher
tariffs a "protectionist act.".
The findings disclosed in the EU
ruling lack factual and legal basis, Spokesperson for China's Ministry of Commerce, via statement.
This is a naked protectionist act,
creating and escalating trade
frictions, and 'destroying fair
competition' in the name of
'maintaining fair competition.' , Spokesperson for China's Ministry of Commerce, via statement.
This move by the EU not only damages the
legitimate rights and interests of China’s
electric vehicle industry, but will also disrupt
and distort the global automotive industry
chain supply chain, including the EU, Spokesperson for China's Ministry of Commerce, via statement

Trump Promises to Stop , All Electric Car Sales.
In an effort to be reelected
as President of the Unites States.
Trump is promising oil and gas execs that
he'll keep electric vehicles (EVs) from being sold in the U.S. if they make significant donations to his campaign, Gizmodo reports. .
Trump said that he'd lower tailpipe emissions targets and cut EV tax credits, among other things. .
"You won't be able to sell those cars," Trump said.
However, the EV market continues to grow, with
at least 1.5 million units expected to sell in 2024.
If Trump squashes EV sales in the U.S., it could anger some Republicans since the market has provided more jobs and investments in the South.
For example, Hyundai is investing
$13 billion in Georgia, a state Trump lost
in 2020, to produce electric vehicles.
Meanwhile, analysts predict EV sales will continue to rise despite Trump's efforts.
Although, his tactics could prove
to slow those sales dramatically. .
Ford Motor executive chair
William Clay Ford Jr. weighed
in on Trump's promises.
Our time frame as a company,
our planning time frame, is a lot
longer than election cycles, William Clay Ford Jr., via statement.
When we’re whipsawed back
and forth by politicians that
becomes really difficult for us, William Clay Ford Jr., via statement
