In a fiery new recording, Rav Moshe Maya, the senior member of the Moetzet Chachmei HaTorah of Shas, sharply denounced the proposed draft law being promoted by Shas chairman Aryeh Deri and his associate, former minister Ariel Attias. Rav Maya stated emphatically that he cannot and will not support any legislation that includes draft quotas, conscription targets, or punitive measures against bnei yeshivah. “Nothing—nothing—will change my mind,” he declared.

Elon Musk suggested Monday that his high-profile clash with President Trump may be losing steam, with both men appearing to soften their tone after a week of bitter exchanges.
“We had a great relationship and I wish him well — very well, actually,” Trump told reporters at the White House, a moment captured on video and shared by X personality ALX.
Musk replied with a simple heart emoji, a subtle yet public gesture that hinted their once-close alliance might be on the mend after a volatile falling-out just days earlier.

Mikie Sherrill, a U.S. Representative, veteran Navy helicopter pilot, and former federal prosecutor, has secured the Democratic nomination for governor of New Jersey, emerging victorious in a six-way primary contest held Tuesday.
At 53 years old, Sherrill—who serves the 11th Congressional District and is a mother of four—entered the race as a clear frontrunner. Her early advantage in polling was largely attributed to her distinguished background, including her service in the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
The Associated Press projected Sherrill as the winner at 8:39 p.m. ET, with her pulling in 34.6% of the vote at the time.

Jack Ciattarelli has clinched the Republican nomination in New Jersey’s gubernatorial race, with the Associated Press and the Washington Post calling the primary in his favor shortly after voting ended on June 10.
Although the final certified tally won’t be available until later in June, major media outlets declared Ciattarelli the winner at 8:17 p.m., just minutes after the polls shut.
Before the official projections were even made, hundreds of supporters had already gathered at Ciattarelli’s election night event at Bell Works in Holmdel. As of 8:30 p.m., no formal announcement had been delivered, but the atmosphere was one of clear anticipation.

President Donald Trump reportedly urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to bring the war in Gaza to a close and made clear that any Israeli military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities is currently off the table, according to a Channel 12 report citing unnamed sources.
In what was described as a rare and direct message from Trump to Netanyahu during a phone call yesterday, the president conveyed that he expects not just a temporary ceasefire or a hostage agreement through the ongoing Witkoff-mediated negotiations, but a definitive end to the fighting in Gaza, the report says.

President Trump is demanding that those who burned American flags during the violent unrest in Los Angeles be sentenced to at least a year in jail—and raised the possibility that California Governor Gavin Newsom could face criminal charges for his handling of the crisis.
In the debut episode of Miranda Devine’s new podcast, Pod Force One, Trump said any protester caught torching the Stars and Stripes should face automatic jail time. The podcast is set to feature influential political figures each week.
“I happen to think if you burn an American flag — because they were burning a lot of flags in Los Angeles — I think you go to jail for one year,” he said. “Just automatic.”

Several top Democratic officials are facing backlash for making wildly inaccurate statements about the violent anti-ICE demonstrations that have consumed Los Angeles for nearly a week. Their attempts to deny or minimize the destruction stand in sharp contrast to eyewitness accounts, video footage, and law enforcement reports documenting widespread looting, arson, and violent clashes with police.
At a Capitol Hill press conference on Tuesday, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) boldly declared that there was “no violence” taking place in Los Angeles. Her remarks came as she sharply criticized President Trump’s decision to deploy thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines to restore order in the city.

During a speech delivered Tuesday at Fort Bragg, President Trump announced that he intends to reinstate the original names of seven military installations that once honored figures from the Confederacy, including Fort Robert E. Lee.
“For a little breaking news, we are also going to be restoring the names to Fort Pickett, Fort Hood, Fort Gordon, Fort Rucker, Fort Polk, Fort AP Hill and Fort Robert E Lee,” Trump declared during his remarks commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States Army.
“We won a lot of battles out of those forts. It’s no time to change. And I’m superstitious, you know, I like to keep it going, right? I’m very superstitious.”
“We want to keep it going. So that’s a big story.”

Mike Bloomberg has officially endorsed Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor, arguing that the former governor has the right credentials to lead the city through its challenges.
“I care deeply about the future of our city, and since leaving office, it has been difficult to watch its struggles, especially since the pandemic,” the three-term former mayor said Tuesday.
“In sizing up the field in the race for mayor, there is one candidate whose management experience and government know-how stand above the others: Andrew Cuomo.”
Bloomberg acknowledged that he and Cuomo didn’t always see eye to eye during their respective times in office, but emphasized that Cuomo’s leadership qualities are what the city needs most right now.
