1/ Trump said he’s “close” to deciding whether to launch a “massive attack” on Iran that would be larger than the opening strikes of the war. The threat follows the 12 consecutive day of U.S. strikes and Trump’s warning that another Houthi attack on tankers in the Red Sea would bring “major military punishment” against both the Houthis and Iran. Trump, meanwhile, claimed that Iran wants to negotiate but “hasn’t received enough pain yet.” Tehran, however, warned that attacks on its bridges, power plants, or other infrastructure would trigger a “severe and escalatory” response.

2/ The House passed a nonbinding resolution directing Trump to end the war in Iran, while Senate Republicans blocked a separate measure that could have required him to seek congressional authorization or withdraw U.S. forces. Four House Republicans joined Democrats to pass the House resolution 214-208, while in the Senate, Susan Collins was the only Republican to support advancing the joint resolution and John Fetterman was the only Democrat to oppose the measure, which failed 47-49. The split leaves Trump free to continue the nearly five-month war that Congress never authorized. The administration, meanwhile, claimed that a new 60-day War Powers clock began after Trump notified lawmakers this month that hostilities with Iran had “resumed.” Thom Tillis voted against ending the war but warned that “the clock is ticking,” while Tommy Tuberville laughed off Congress’s earlier rebukes: “Do you think he cares? No.” (Associated Press / NBC News / New York Times / Politico / Washington Post / CBS News / NPR)

3/ The Trump administration will impose 10% tariffs on imports from the European Union, Canada, Mexico, and India, and 12.5% tariffs on goods from China, Japan, South Korea, and dozens of other countries. The duties apply to trading partners that account for roughly 99% of U.S. trade, and take effect at 12:01 a.m. Friday, when Trump’s temporary 10% global tariff expires. The move keeps Trump’s near-global tariffs in place despite the Supreme Court striking down his earlier duties. The administration invoked Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, claiming the targeted economies either lack bans on forced-labor imports or fail to enforce them. Oil and gas, fertilizer, certain foods, USMCA-compliant goods, and products already subject to tariffs on autos, steel, aluminum, and copper are excluded.

4/ House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan referred former special counsel Jack Smith to the Justice Department, alleging that Smith lied to Congress. Jordan accused Smith of misleading the committee after Smith testified that subpoenas for lawmakers’ toll records didn’t include call or text content. While recently released records showed that prosecutors received messages between 44 members of Congress and the Trump White House from the National Archives, Smith wasn’t asked about those records during his congressional testimony. Nevertheless Jordan said Smith’s testimony created a misleading “impression” and amounted to a “half truth,” while Smith’s lawyers called the answers “unimpeachably truthful” and said the referral seeks to criminalize his failure to volunteer information “that was not responsive to a question asked.” (Associated Press / NBC News / Washington Post / ABC News / CNN / Axios / CBS News / The Hill)

5/ The Secret Service has opened roughly 10,000 investigations into threats against Trump and other protectees since January, nearly 40% more than during the same period last year. Director Sean Curran called the volume “off the charts” and said the threat environment is the most volatile of his 24-year career. The warning comes ahead of Friday’s rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner at Washington’s Waldorf Astoria, after an armed man allegedly rushed a screening checkpoint at the original April event, prompting Trump’s evacuation.(Axios / ABC News / NBC News / CBS News)

6/ The Secret Service placed a member of JD Vance’s protective detail on leave while investigating if the employee compromised “operational and information security.” The agency said the investigation could become criminal, but declined to identify the employee or explain what was allegedly disclosed. The employee is suspected of supplying information for a report about agents’ frustration with Vance’s last-minute travel demands, including a planned helicopter trip with his son for a golf lesson.

7/ The Justice Department withdrew subpoenas seeking phone records and grand jury testimony from three New York Times reporters. Judge Arun Subramanian said subpoenas targeting reporters must be “the last step, not the first step.” The Justice Department acknowledged “inadvertent errors,” including subpoenas seeking phone records belonging to one reporter’s mother and two journalists’ spouses, but said the leak investigation involving reporting on Trump’s Qatari-gifted Air Force One jet remains ongoing. (Associated Press / CNN / The Guardian / New York Times)

8/ Trump used the dignified transfer of four U.S. soldiers killed in the Iran war to promote his war, claiming that all four had said “we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.” Trump didn’t explain how he knew their views on the war, which has killed at least 18 service members and wounded roughly 500. Before the ceremony, Trump called receiving the fallen soldiers “one of the hardest things to do as a president.” But hours later, at a political rally in Georgia, he called the war a “skirmish,” said Iran was “getting hit so hard,” reenacted one grieving family’s “Wow!” reaction to riding on Air Force One, and told them their son “was going all the way” and “would have been a general very quickly.” (New York Times / ABC News / NBC News / Associated Press / Politico)

9/ Bill O’Reilly suggested that Trump should “take the next month off.” The former Fox News host added that Trump needs “a breather.” (The Hill)
