A day after the Senate passed a resolution aimed at limiting President Trump's military action
“against Iran, the Pentagon is asking Congress for another $80 billion to fund operations”
in the region, and PR's Quill Lawrence reports.
>> Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is lobbying senators to provide $80 billion, mostly to pay
for months of war, and the thousands of cruise missiles, drones, and interceptors expanded after the U.S. and Israel launched a war against Iran. This comes as the White House is asking for a record $1.5 trillion for this year's regular defense appropriation. While defense hawks on Capitol Hill agree that the U.S. must urgently replenish its global
stockpile of munitions, the Iran War and the current ceasefire agreement are not popular. In senators from both parties may bulk at such staggering expenses when the American voting public still feels the pinch of higher prices at the gas pump and the grocery store. Quill Lawrence and PR News. >> It was a big night for New York City Mayor, Zoran Momdani, John Campbell, a number
station, WNYC reports his endorsed slate of congressional candidates won their Democratic primaries on Tuesday.
“>> Mayor Momdani backed three Democrats for the House of Representatives and all three”
ones, that includes Daria Lisa Avila Chevelier, a community organizer. She toppled incumbent Adriano Espayat, the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, former city controller Brad Lander, defeated incumbent Dan Goldman. And Claire Valdez, a state lawmaker, won an open seat in Brooklyn in Queens. Their victories marked a major show of strength for the mayor, a significant figure on
the political left. And they sent a shot to the Democratic establishment that lined up behind other candidates. >> Take the mayor, Valdez and Avila Chevelier are members of the Democratic Socialists of America. For NPR News, I'm John Campbell in New York.
>> A federal court in Texas has sentenced eight people labeled as Antifa. The defendant's face terrorism charges after the non-fatal shooting of a police officer at an ICE detention facility, Dillon Duke with member station KERA reports.
“>> It's the first prosecution of people accused of being affiliated with the Antifa movement”
since President Trump designated Antifa a domestic terrorist threat last year. Lydia Cosa is the wife of the defendant, Autumn Hill, who was sentenced to 50 years in prison. >> In the face of this grotesque distortion of anything that could ever have called itself due process, I am live it.
Antifa is short for antifascist and it's an ideology not a centralized organization that defendants deny any links to terrorism. Their sentences range from 30 to 100 years. For NPR News, I'm Dillon Duke. >> Stocks are trading higher on Wall Street, the Dow was up 433 points.

At the world, cop there are several notable group games today, including one that might decide a future U.S. opponent in the knockout round, NPR's Russell Lewis reports from Los Angeles. >> The game between Qatar and Bosnian Herzegovina is the one U.S. fans will be watching most closely.
If either country wins, they would likely face the U.S. in a round of 32 match on July 1st in Santa Clara, California. On the other side of Group B, co-host Canada goes up against Switzerland. If Canada wins or draws against the Swiss, Canada would place first in its group and play its round of 32 game in Vancouver, a huge advantage.
In group C, there are two matches. Brazil takes on Scotland in their legion of fund fans while Morocco goes up against Haiti. Brazil and Morocco tops the group now, but Scotland could advance to the knockout round in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place, depending on several scenarios. Russell Lewis and PR News Los Angeles.
