President Trump said that he disapproves of the latest framework put forward by Iran in an effort to end hostilities, telling reporters ‘we just had a conversation with Iran. Let’s see what happens. But I would say that I am not happy,’ as he was leaving the White House to travel to an event in Florida. The President is also arguing that because of the ongoing ceasefire with Iran, the war is over and he does not need congressional approval for military operations in the region.

Trump's nominee for chair of the Federal Reserve Kevin Warsh passed a key vote from the Senate Banking Committee to send his nomination to the full senate, despite pushback from prominent Democrats on the panel.
Massachusetts Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren slammed the nomination as political, saying “Trump has not been subtle about his takeover," in remarks to the committee.
The key vote came after Senator Thom Tillis removed his block of Warsh's nomination over the DOJ investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve, as the department handed it over to a watchdog.

The US Supreme Court limited the use of the Voting Rights Act to create predominantly Black or Hispanic election districts in a major constitutional ruling that buttresses Republican efforts to keep control of the House in this year’s midterms and beyond.
Voting 6-3 along ideological lines, the justices rejected a Louisiana congressional map that was drawn with a second majority-Black district after a lower court found an earlier map to be discriminatory.
The Supreme Court ruling undercuts what had been the most significant remaining part of the Voting Rights Act, a law passed in 1965 to address rampant discrimination against Black voters. The justices had already significantly weakened the law twice since 2013.
