Summary

President Trump proposed a $5,000 payment to every American adult if Republicans retain Congress, a plan critics note is legally dubious and fiscally impossible. Meanwhile, Missouri’s Secretary of State faces potential contempt charges for defying a state supreme court order regarding a controversial redistricting map. Apple’s new CEO John Ternus unveiled the foldable iPhone Duo, priced near $2,000, signaling a major hardware shift and a renewed focus on on-device AI integration.
