- Description
- President Trump confirmed Tuesday that Dr. Marty Makary has left his role as commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after weeks of pressure on him to step down.
"Marty's a terrific guy, but he's going to go on and he's going to lead a good life," he told reporters as he left for a trip to China. "He's a great doctor, and he was having some difficulty."
The commissioner's ouster was months in the making, according to reports, as he clashed with administration officials, lawmakers, drugmakers, biotech leaders, abortion critics and tobacco executives.
The final straw was reportedly his opposition to the approval of fruit-flavored e-cigarettes, which the administration authorized.
Kyle Diamantas, the agency's deputy commissioner for food, will take over the FDA on an acting basis.

- Description
- President Trump defended his policies Tuesday after the Labor Department reported inflation had hit its highest level in three years, with the president calling it a “short term” rise due to the war in Iran.
“As soon as this war is over, which will not be long, you’re going to see oil prices drop and you’re going to see the stock market, which is already at the highest point in history, go through the roof. You’re going to see the golden age of America,” he told reporters before departing for a trip to China.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 3.8% in April from a year earlier, a sharp jump driven largely by energy costs due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. CPI was 3.3% in March and 2.4% before the war started in February.
“You have hundreds of ships that are loaded up with oil that want to come out,” President Trump said. “As soon as they come out, we’re going to have a gusher of oil and you’re going to have ...

- Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Tuesday said he did not "trust" Pakistan to serve as a mediator in talks between the U.S. and Iran after reports suggested Islamabad was cooperating with Tehran.
"I don't trust Pakistan as far as I can throw 'em," the South Carolina Republican said at a hearing with top Pentagon officials.
Sen. Graham cited reports that Pakistan had allowed Iranian aircraft to park at its military bases as evidence for his mistrust.
"If they actually do have Iranian aircraft parked in Pakistan bases to protect Iranian military assets, that tells me we should be looking maybe for somebody else to mediate," he said. "No wonder this damn thing is going nowhere!"

- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told senators Tuesday the U.S. controls the Strait of Hormuz and that its effective closure was hurting Iran more than the U.S.
“Ultimately, we control the strait, because nothing’s going in that we don’t allow to go in,” he told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee.
He said the U.S. naval blockade is preventing Iran from moving anything in or out of its ports and has resulted in 65 ships being turned around.
“The economic pressure that creates on them greatly outstrips the economic pressure on us,” he said.

- President Trump says the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is on “massive life support” after Iran’s latest counterproposal to end the war.
Media reports say Tehran’s offer included demands for war reparations…control over the Strait of Hormuz…an end to U.S. sanctions…and the return of frozen assets.
Iran also sought to keep nuclear talks separate from negotiations over the Strait.
The president called the terms “simply unacceptable.” He spoke to reporters at the White House today — we’ll play some of what he said.
Congress is back in town this week after a weeklong recess…with Republicans looking to use the reconciliation process to fund immigration enforcement without Democratic support.

- Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Monday slammed Republicans' proposed $72 billion Homeland Security spending package, which would allot $1 billion to Secret Service security improvements, including those related to President Trump's proposed East Wing ballroom.
"The Republican bill charges American taxpayers $1 billion to build Trump's gilded ballroom, while including $0 to help Americans with rising costs," the New York Democrat said.
Though President Trump originally said he would build the ballroom entirely with donated funds, the project's expansion to include below-ground security features has led the White House to pursue congressional funding. A DC federal judge has said the project would require congressional approval, though an appeals court is still reviewing the case.

- Description
- President Trump on Monday said he supports suspending the federal gas tax to provide relief at the pump amid skyrocketing energy costs tied to the war in Iran.
Such a move would require an act of Congress, and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) said they intend to introduce legislation to that effect in both chambers this week.
Gas prices have risen sharply since the war began in February, leading to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world’s oil normally transits.
The national average for a gallon of gas is around $4.52, according to AAA — a 50% jump since the war began.
The federal tax is currently set at 18.4 cents per gallon on gasoline and 24.4 cents per gallon on diesel.
The president said he would support suspending the tax “until it’s appropriate” and maintained that prices would sharply fall once the war is settled.

- Candice Millard details Theodore Roosevelt's post-presidential trip to the Amazon: "Roosevelt knows that they're going to have to carry him. And he's absolutely he's not going to have it. So he calls his son and this, American ornithologist, George Terry, into his tent. And he says to them, look, you get out, you go on. I'm going to stay here. And the only reason Theodore Roosevelt didn't take his own life in the middle of the Amazon is that his son, you know, again, Kermit had been there for so long, he spoke the language, and the other men respected him and trusted him. I mean, he was in the river so much that his shoes were literally rotting off his feet. And he said, absolutely not. I know I can get these canoes down this river. And Roosevelt realized finally that the best way to save his son was to let his son save him. And that's what happened. That's what happened."

So they pile a bunch of rocks at the bottom of this hill, and then they go to the top. When the train comes, they start firing at it. It goes faster and then it smashes into these rocks.
So who takes over? Who starts giving commands on this train? Winston Churchill again, he's there. He's 24 years old. He's not even in the military. But it's this incredible set of kind of, I call it contagious courage that he has. So he believes in himself and he believes in you, too. So you keep saying, you know, you're not afraid.

And especially what interests me about the human experience is not a person's triumph, not when things are going well for them, but when they are struggling, when they've experienced, grief or sorrow or failure, when they're looking for a foothold. Because I think that's when we can truly understand someone's character. And so whether it's a place like this or a person, my kids always make fun of me because I'll look at people and I'll say, what do you think that guy's story is? What do you think this room story is?

- President Trump said Monday that the ceasefire with Iran is “on life support” after rejecting what he called an “unacceptable” Iranian counterproposal to end the war.
“It’s unbelievably weak,” he told reporters in the Oval Office. “I would call it the weakest right now, after reading that piece of garbage they sent us. I didn’t even finish reading it. I’m not going to waste my time reading it.”
Tehran reportedly demanded U.S. war reparations, recognition of its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and an end to American sanctions.
The first two demands are widely viewed as nonstarters for the U.S., while the third would likely require significant Iranian concessions on its nuclear program.
“Right now, it’s on life support,” the president said of the faltering truce that began in early April and has been threatened by both sides trading fire last week, as well as Iran resuming attacks on its Middle Eas...

- President Trump on Monday called Iran’s counterproposal to a U.S. peace plan “unacceptable” without providing details.
“It was just unacceptable,” he told reporters in the Oval Office. “You know, a lot of people said, well, does he have a plan? Yeah, of course, I do have a plan. I have the best plan ever.”
The president said his “very simple” plan is that “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”
“If they did have it, the Middle East would be gone, Israel would be gone and they’d hit Europe probably next,” he warned. “We’re doing a service to the world.”
The president also criticized his detractors and Iranian officials who believe he is improvising or would grow tired of the war that began in late February.
“Are they stupid people? They didn’t want to believe it,” he said. “They think that, well, I’ll get tired of this or I’ll get bored or I’ll have some pressure. But ...

- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said she was focused on broader goals when asked about speculation she would run for president in 2028.
"They assume that my ambition is positional," the New York Democrat told former Obama adviser David Axelrod at a University of Chicago event Friday. "They assume that my ambition is a title or a seat. And my ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country."
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has drawn national attention since her 2018 run for Congress that unseated Rep. Joe Crowley, then the third-ranking Democrat in the House. Her progressive platform has made her a close ally of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), with whom she headlined a "Fighting Oligarchy" rally tour.
"Presidents come and go," Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said. "But single-payer health care is forever. A living wage is forever. Workers' rights are forever. Women's rights. All of that."
