| | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | 📱 Telegram founder arrested in France. Pavel Durov, the Russian entrepreneur behind Telegram, was arrested at an airport in France for not implementing moderation on the platform, which has nearly 900 million users. This marks another escalation in Europe's crackdown on free speech. Telegram has faced global scrutiny for its strict free-speech policy, with critics claiming it allows dangerous groups to use the app. Elon Musk has also faced threats of significant fines and potential charges for his stance on free speech on X. | ✌️ RFK Jr. drops out and endorses Trump. At a rally in Arizona on Friday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. officially dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed the Republican ticket. He announced that he will be "actively campaigning" for the party. While many mainstream pollsters claim this won't harm Harris, Kennedy's support has been significant enough that Democrats took legal action to block him from gaining ballot access. | 🚀 Israel launches preemptive strike against Hezbollah. Early Sunday morning, the Israeli Defense Forces, using U.S.-backed intelligence, launched a preemptive strike against Hezbollah. They destroyed several thousand rocket launchers that were aimed at Northern Israel in anticipation of an imminent attack.

During his 2006 campaign, Tim Walz claimed in his biography that he was named "Outstanding Young Nebraskan" by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce.

| | | WHAT WE'RE HEARING | Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that if Democrats win in November, he would eliminate the filibuster to pass abortion legislation. RFK Jr. says, "The DNC and its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for VP Harris based upon nothing. No policies, no interviews, no debates. Only smoke and mirrors." Obama faced criticism for mocking the size of Trump's "you-know-what" at the DNC. Senator Tom Cotton criticized Kamala Harris for not clarifying her policy positions, pointing out that she never retracted her 2020 promise to eliminate private health insurance. J.D. Vance stated that Donald Trump would oppose a national abortion ban if elected president and would veto any such bill that reached his desk, according to the AP.

A Trump appointee ruled this week that banning machine guns violates the Second Amendment. Trump tried to strike a new tone on abortion this week, saying he would be "great for women and their reproductive rights."
