Ice raids leave crops unharvested at California farms: ‘We need the labor’

Crops left unharvested in forniaLisa Tate is a sixth-generation farmer in Ventura county, California, an area that produces billions of dollars worth of fruit and vegetables each year, much of it hand-picked by immigrants in the US illegally.

Tate knows the farms around her well. And she says she can see with her own eyes how raids carried out by agents from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) in the area’s fields earlier this month, part of Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, have frightened off workers.

“In the fields, I would say 70% of the workers are gone,” she said in an interview. “If 70% of your workforce doesn’t show up, 70% of your crop doesn’t get picked and can go bad in one day. Most Americans don’t want to do this work. Most farmers here are barely breaking even. I fear this has created a tipping point where many will go bust.“

Fed would have cut US interest rates by now if it weren’t for Trump’s tariffs, says Jerome Powell

Jerome Powell

Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell said earlier this morning that the central bank would likely have already cut interest rates this year had it not been for the economic shock caused by Donald Trump’s tariff policies.

When asked if Trump’s tariffs on imported goods held up the Fed’s plan to cut interest rates, Powell replied:I  think that’s right.

Speaking at a central banking conference in Portugal, he went on:

In effect, we went on hold when we saw the size of the tariffs and essentially all inflation forecasts for the United States went up materially as a consequence of the tariffs.

Donald Trump threatens to arrest NYC mayoral Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani

MamdaniPresident Donald Trump has escalated his attacks on New York City’s Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, and now Mamdani and New York Democrats are responding.

Trump threatened to arrest Mamdani if as mayor he follows through on pledges not to assist federal officials enforcing immigration laws.

“Well then, we’ll have to arrest him,” Trump told reporters on July 1 while visiting a detention center in Florida. Trump that he would “be watching over him very carefully on behalf of the nation.”

Trump also said "a lot of people are saying he's here illegally," which is false. Mamdani is a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Uganda, who immigrated to the United States with his parents − film director Mira Nair and Columbia University professor Mahmood Mamdani − at the age of seven.

How Trump's tax bill could cut Medicaid for millions of Americans

Thealth insurancehe Senate cleared President Donald Trump's domestic spending and tax cut bill that will enact steep cuts to the nation's safety-net health insurance program for low income families.

In addition to delivering tax cuts and increasing immigration enforcement, what Trump has called the "Big Beautiful Bill" would cut nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid, the state-federal health program for low-income families and the disabled. The bill is projected to eliminate insurance coverage for 11.8 million people over the next decade, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

Another 5 million could lose coverage if Congress doesn't extend the COVID-19 pandemic-era tax credits that have made Affordable Care Act plans more affordable for consumers.

The legislation amounts to "the biggest rollback in health care coverage in the history of the United States," said Joan Alker, a research professor and executive director and co-founder of Georgetown University's Center for Children and Families.

The winners (and losers) in Trump's 'big beautiful' tax bill

CongressPresident Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which will transform taxes and other federal policies, is indeed big: 1,116 pages in the House version and 887 pages in the Senate. How attractive it is to you depends on largely on how big your paycheck will be in 2026.

The two bills are billions of dollars apart, but the general themes remain the same: Americans won't face bigger tax bills next year, and a portion of the deficit spending will be offset with cuts in health and food assistance programs, affecting the finances of lower-income Americans.

The U.S. Senate narrowly passed its bill with 50 votes on July 1—with Vice President JD Vance casting the deciding vote—after intense Republican negotiations for changes. It now heads back to the House to reconcile the differences with on another tight deadline so it can be on Trump's desk for signature into law by July 4.

Supreme Court rejects censorship case from RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine group

RFK Jr.

The Supreme Court on June 30 declined to to hear a censorship complaint brought by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s former group against the owner of Facebook.

Children’s Health Defense, an anti-vaccine group founded by Kennedy before he joined President Donald Trump’s administration, argues its First Amendment rights were violated when Facebook restricted the group’s anti-vaccine posts.

Lower courts said Kennedy's group hadn’t shown that Facebook's parent company - Meta - was restricting the posts at the direction of the Biden administration. So they concluded Meta can’t be sued as a private business for restricting free speech.

As part of its "Vaccinate with Confidence" initiative, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention worked with social media companies "to promote trustworthy vaccine information."

But the California-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that the evidence showed Meta and the government were often at odds.

IDF opens war crimes trial

The Israeli military has launched an investigation into possible war crimes following growing evidence that troops have deliberately fired at Palestinian civilians gathering to receive aid in Gaza.

Hundreds of people have been killed in recent weeks after being subjected to air attacks, shootings and bombardments by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) while waiting for food to be distributed or while making their way to distribution sites.

On Friday the Israeli newspaper Haaretz quoted unnamed Israeli soldiers as saying they had been told to fire at crowds near food distribution sites to keep them away from Israeli military positions.
