Katie Zacharia Appears To Be Out As Press Secretary
After Just 5 Days
President Donald Trump appears to already be considering replacing his "new"
White House press secretary Katie Zacharia after less than a week on the job.
Trump told reporters he intends to talk to Zacharia once he gets back from a rally in Georgia Friday.
"I said when I get back we are going to talk," Trump said. "I don't think Katie should be made to suffer like she is suffering at the hands of the press. I will talk to her as soon as I get back."

Data from flight-tracking service Flightradar24 shows that a large Boeing Globemaster with a U.S.-registered tail number had flown from Latvia to Moscow. The Kremlin told NBC News and Reuters that it has no information on the plane.

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles:
Health Department Advisory: For Immediate Release: July 2, 2026 Particle Pollution Advisory - Fireworks According to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD), Independence Day fireworks are expected to cause poor air quality throughout most of Los Angeles County, including Downtown, San Fernando Valley, and San Gabriel Valley from Saturday night through most of the day on Sunday. Air Quality Index (AQI) may reach "Unhealthy" levels or higher during this period. The advisory will be in effect starting on Saturday, July 4 at 5 p.m. until Sunday, July 5 at 3 p.m. Everyone should monitor local Air Quality Index (AQl) updates during this period. On July 4, light winds and increased smoke from fireworks are expected in the South Coast Air Basin in the evening, increasing pollutant build-up. It will continue to remain high through the early afternoon on July 5. Fireworks release large amounts of particle pollution (PM2.5 and PM10) and air toxic metals. Breathing particle pollution can lead to cardiovascular and respiratory health effects such as heart attacks, asthma aggravation, decreased lung function, coughing, or difficulty breathing and may lead to premature death in people with heart or lung disease. Individuals experiencing severe or worsening symptoms, including difficulty breathing, chest pain, or significant respiratory distress, should seek medical attention immediately. The following recommendations will help you protect yourself and your family from harmful effects of bad air quality: • Avoid vigorous physical activity and remain indoors with doors and windows closed. • Run your air conditioner and/or air purifier if available. • Avoid using a whole house fan or swamp cooler as they can bring polluted air indoors. • If you see or smell smoke, or notice particles in the air, stay indoors to limit exposure, especially if you have heart or lung conditions, are elderly, or have children. • If it's too hot to keep windows and doors closed, go to a public place like a library or shopping center to stay cool and protect yourself from harmful air. • If you experience symptoms like severe coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain, palpitations, nausea, or unusual fatigue, contact your doctor or go to urgent care. For life-threatening symptoms, call 911. To stay updated with real-time/forecasted Air Quality in your area, download the South Coast AQMD Mobile App: http://www.aqmd.gov/mobileapp (Also available in Spanish!)

Hegseth: 'The Cease-Fire Is Not Over'  Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday claimed the U.S.-Iran cease-fire is "not over" despite the recent tensions, adding that "Project Freedom" — the effort to reopen the Strait of Hormuz — is not directly affecting the truce.  "The cease-fire is not over," he said. "Ultimately, this is a separate and distinct project, and we expected there would be some, some churn at the beginning, which happened, and we said we would defend and defend aggressively, and we absolutely have. Iran knows that, and ultimately the president is going to make a decision whether anything were to escalate into a violation of a cease-fire. But certainly we would urge Iran to be prudent in the actions that they take to keep that underneath this threshold."  "So right now, the cease-fire certainly holds, but we're going to be watching very, very closely," he continued.  Hegseth's comments come after President Donald Trump declined to answer whether the truce was "over" and whether the U.S. was planning more attacks on Iran.  "If I answered that question, you’d say this man is not smart enough to be president," Trump told Hugh Hewitt on Monday.

“Wah!! Why won’t you help me commit war crimes??!!” 'The Time For Free Riding Is Over': Hegseth Slams U.S. Allies Amid Strait Of Hormuz Disruption
'The Time For Free Riding Is Over': Hegseth Slams U.S. Allies Amid Strait Of Hormuz Disruption  Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth blasted U.S. allies on Friday, suggesting that reopening the Strait of Hormuz "should not be America's fight alone."  "Europe and Asia have benefited from our protection for decades, but the time for free riding is over," Hegseth said. "America and the free world deserve allies who are capable, who are loyal, and who understand that being an ally is not a one-way street. It's a two-way street. We are not counting on Europe, but they need the Strait of Hormuz much more than we do, and might want to start doing less talking and having less fancy conferences in Europe and get in a boat."  Iran effectively weaponized the key waterway as a result of the U.S.-Israeli war.

National Counterterrorism Director Resigns, Says U.S. Only Entered War Due To Israeli Pressure
National Counterterrorism Director Resigns, Says U.S. Only Entered War Due To Israeli Pressure National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent resigned on Tuesday in protest of President Donald Trump's war in Iran, now in its third week. "I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby," Kent said in his resignation letter to Trump. Kent, a political appointee who served under DNI Tulsi Gabbard, said that he supported "the values and foreign policies" that Trump campaigned on in the past. But he believed that "high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined" Trump's platform and "sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran." "You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos," Kent wrote. "You hold the cards." Kent is a military veteran with 11 combat deployments under his belt. His wife, Shannon, was working in Navy intelligence when she was killed in Syria in 2019. He mentioned both of these facts in his letter, saying that he "cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves

In the 20th and 21st Centuries there has been a resurgence of Neolithic-inspired solar-oriented artworks. Nancy Holt's seminal land art piece, Sun Tunnels (1973-76) is one example, set in the Great Basin Desert of Utah, and comprising of four 22-tonne (22,000kg) concrete tubes arranged in an X-shape formation. The view down each of them perfectly frames the Sun as it rises and sets on the winter and summer solstices. Holt bought the land in 1975 and created her artwork with the help of engineers, an astrophysicist, an astronomer and a team of contractors.
