- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer demanded a briefing Tuesday on the alleged Iranian threats that prompted President Donald Trump to deceive the public by secretly switching planes last month.
The Washington Post reported Monday that Trump hid in a catering truck to board a plane after entering a different one in Turkey, the Middle Eastern country that shares a border with Iran and which hosted the July NATO summit attended by the president and other allied leaders. Trump confirmed Tuesday he changed planes but didn't explain the threat he said prompted the covert action.
"The Senate should be immediately briefed on the Iranian threats against the President, the extraordinary measures taken to get him out of Turkey, any risks posed to U.S. personnel, and any threat to the homeland," Schumer said in a statement. "It is unacceptable that Congress was kept in the dark and instead learned about this serious threat through press reports."

- Hunter Biden has returned to the public eye with a string of high-profile and viral interviews, fueling renewed speculation about whether the controversial figure could have a political future.
In recent weeks, Biden has appeared in long-form conversations with prominent voices, including some who have criticized him in the past. He has been a frequent target of conservative media and political figures over his laptop, his business dealings and his struggles with addiction, but he has now been sitting down with some of those same people and, at times, finding common ground.
On “The Tucker Carlson Show” on Monday, host Tucker Carlson said, “I advocated for all kinds of things that I now regret advocating for.”
“Particularly the things that you said about me,” Biden replied as the two laughed.
Carlson added he should have been more understanding about Biden's battles with addiction.

- Voters in several states are heading to the polls Tuesday in a series of closely watched primary elections that could shape both parties' strategies heading into the November midterms.
The contests include Democratic primaries in Wisconsin and Michigan, where progressive and self-described socialist candidates are competing for statewide nominations, as well as Republican races in South Carolina and Minnesota.
Speaking with The National News Desk, The Daily Signal national correspondent Tony Kinnett said Wisconsin's Democratic gubernatorial primary is one of the races drawing the most national attention.
"We're seeing them in battleground states like Wisconsin," Kinnett said of socialist candidates. "It definitely changes the conversation about the general election."
Kinnett argued that many of the voters propelling progressive candidates through Democratic primaries differ from the broader coalition needed to win a statewide general election.

The Abilene Regional Airport is seeing a sharp rise in passenger traffic, with passenger boardings climbing 35% in the first half of 2026.
Don Green, director of transportation services, described the increase as part of a broader pattern of sustained growth at the airport.
“Passenger boardings here are up 35% compared to last year. The month of June was up 9% compared to the month of June last year. So, that's a huge increase,” he said. “This year looks like it’s going to top 2025. If you take 35% and apply it to 109,000 or so from last year, we're probably looking at around 140,000 to 150,000 boardings.”
Green attributed the surge to an increasingly robust regional economy and expanded air service.
“A lot of this is due to the overall economic activity in our area. It helped attract the new United service, which started in March with Denver and Houston being served,” he said. “Then Amer...

- Tightening its grip on a key maritime trade route, Iran issued a list of demands for the United States to meet before shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz can resume. All of the demands appear to be non-starters for the White House.
Iranian leaders said the United States must lift its blockade on Iranian ports, withdraw American forces surrounding Iran, lift sanctions, unfreeze Iranian assets, refrain from using insulting and threatening language toward Iran, and pay Iran for damages caused by the war.
In a social media post Monday, President Donald Trump said the last demand on that list was never brought up during past talks with Iran.
"But it is an interesting idea because now I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran, for all of the people that they have killed and gravely wounded with their roadside bombs and many conflicts, for which they are famous, as led initially by General Soleimani, including the families of those killed on the USS Cole, and tho...

- Many leaders in the Democratic Party are calling for unity as we approach the midterm elections. But with more and more so-called "Democratic Socialists" winning primary elections, there are concerns they may turn off more moderate and independent voters.
People are tired of the status quo politics and establishment policies. They want real change," Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, said.
That change is coming, with a series of recent victories by more progressive candidates, including those who call themselves Democratic Socialists.
My hope is that our democracy will never be the same," Abdul El-Sayed said.
Last week’s narrow win by Abdul El-Sayed in the Democratic primary race for Senate in Michigan is now top of mind for the party.

Speaking with The National News Desk, Rasmussen, president of RMG Research and author of Out of Touch: The Elite 1% and the Battle for America's Soul, said the term "elite" can mean different things depending on the context.
"There are elite athletes. There are elite musicians. That's a positive thing," Rasmussen said. "There is a financial elite. But in political terms, it is these people with a postgraduate degree who live in a densely populated urban area."

The crash happened around 12:30 a.m. and was caught on camera.
The driver of a Dodge Ram 2500 ran a red light at Southeast 11th Avenue and Pierce Street. The fuel truck, which was headed south on Pierce, hit the driver’s side of the pickup and pushed it over the curb, through the station’s security fence and into the parking lot.

- Abilene Education Foundation awards classroom grants to nearly 3 dozen new ISD teachers

As the first day of school approaches in Abilene ISD, nearly three dozen first-year teachers are getting a financial boost to help them set up their classrooms before students arrive.
The Abilene Education Foundation surprised roughly 34 new Abilene ISD teachers with $150 Judy Dudley Memorial Gift Grants during new teacher orientation Thursday.
The grants are intended to help cover the cost of decorating classrooms, purchasing supplies and creating a welcoming learning environment for students.
“I think it’s going to help me because I’m a first-year teacher, and I need a lot of school supplies. I think being able to have this income come in is going to be able to bless the students,” said Ariana Guerra, a first-year teacher.
Unlike many other grant programs, there is no application.
The foundation works with Abilene ISD to identify first-time teachers and surprise them with the check...

As students head back to class, school buses will once again make stops across the Big Country, making bus safety a top priority.
But as buses hit their routes, drivers said their biggest concern isn't the bus itself, but the people who drive around it

"The biggest problem I see is drivers are not aware that the bus could show its amber lights to start its stopping routine," Eula ISD bus driver Kevin Meier said. "When the bus stops and opens the door, the red lights and the stop sign come out, and drivers shouldn't be moving or trying to pass a bus on any side of the road."
KTXS asked Eula ISD Police Chief Stephen Williamson whether drivers are still illegally passing stopped school buses.
"It is happening here," Williamson said. "We have video cameras, and we follow up on all of them. The bottom line is that it's too much."

What is now an active construction site in Abilene is expected to become a new home by November for men working to overcome addiction and rebuild their lives through Nehemiah Abilene.
The project will add a new dormitory to the campus, expanding the organization’s capacity as it continues its recovery mission.
Nehemiah Abilene has been helping men in recovery for nearly seven years, and CEO Lee Morris said the work is personal for him.
“I’m in addiction recovery, so it’s very close to my heart. I think a lot of times we don’t know that we’re addicts until we know that we’re addicts. The hardest step is admitting that I’m an addict. And so once you figure that out and once you find freedom from it, the only thing that makes sense according to everything that we say we believe as Christians, and also as people that operate in the 12-step program, is that we have to reach out to the addict still sufferin...

- WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Donald Trump has been telling donors to get behind Vice President JD Vance for 2028, according to reports.
“At the end of the day, we need to elect JD,” Trump reportedly told donors two weeks ago, according to The Washington Post.
However, other sources told the Post that Trump hasn’t settled on Vance and may look for another candidate.
In the past, Vance joked about Trump endorsing either him or Secretary of State Marco Rubio and made a reference to the president’s former reality TV show, “The Apprentice.”

- A Senate committee voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress, referring him to the Justice Department for potential prosecution, in the wake of his hearing last week, where he pleaded the Fifth over a hundred times.
On Thursday, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs voted 8-5 to hold Fauci in contempt, despite Democrats' repeated attempts to delay.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who chairs the committee, called for the contempt vote last week, telling Fauci, "It’s against the law to obstruct an investigation of Congress. There will be repercussions for your refusal to testify today."
