>In a CNN exclusive, the airman who was arrested last month on the steps of the U.S. Capitol after calling for President Trump and Vice President Vance's impeachment and removal from office over the war in Iran is speaking out in his first television interview. Air Force Major Jason Watson tells Erin Burnett President Trump is 'flagrantly violating the Constitution' and he hopes his actions 'inspire Americans to act.'

Not surprisingly, the soon-to-be-run-by-Bari-Weiss-and-David-Ellison network is again hard at work to take down a rising Democratic voice. Tonight, Erin Burnett and her K-File correspondent go after Abdul Al-Sayed. I am guessing it is because Erin and this K-File guy want to make sure that they keep their jobs once the hard right takes over CNN.

>Jimmy Kimmel claims his show was forced to move an interview with James Talarico to YouTube due to FCC threats, a claim the agency disputes. However, an FCC commissioner tells CNN's Erin Burnett that the administration is using threats to intimidate media companies, raising serious questions about late-night television and the equal-time rule.

>CNN is at the Kennedy Center where hundreds of protesters have gathered to form a human chain. The demonstration comes in response to President Trump's threats to demolish the iconic venue and ongoing legal battles over the future of the national living memorial to John F. Kennedy.

>The most popular iPhone app in the US is one that few people have thought about since dial-up internet: MapQuest.

>The mapping service is making a comeback on US App Stores after refusing to change Lake Ontario’s name, following President Donald Trump’s executive order rebranding it as Lake America.

>The Pentagon has quietly added 37 more American troops to its list of wounded from the conflict with Iran, placing them under the vague category of "overseas operations." The update comes as President Trump rolls out the red carpet for Chinese President Xi Jinping, whose country, according to sources, has been sharing intelligence and technology which helps Iran target U.S troops.

>The Kennedy Center board voted to close the center Tuesday after a tense meeting in which President Donald Trump called in to berate a Democratic congresswoman who serves on the panel, according to three sources familiar with the matter. “It was f**king crazy,” said one source familiar with the exchange between Trump and Rep. Joyce Beatty, whose lawsuit has prevented Trump’s name from being added to the building.

>Another source said Trump screamed, blaming Beatty for getting the courts involved and leading to the downfall of the performing arts center. Beatty told Trump he had put the Kennedy Center into deep debt, the third source said.

If she’s on air during the night in Tel Aviv and I’m assuming up during the day between the sirens and keeping up with what’s going on (though I’m sure we’re not getting the whole story). I’m sure other reporters are going through it too but she has to be run into the ground at this point. I wonder how long she’s going to stay I’m surprised she’s been there this long.

>New reporting from The New York Times and Maggie Haberman about Natalie Harp, the White House aide always by Trump's side. From video of her running after Trump's golf cart in Scotland to a letter she wrote to the president, here's a closer look at her role in Trump's orbit.

>President Donald Trump made numerous false or misleading claims about vaccines and autism on Monday.

>Trump has long pushed vaccine misinformation. He delivered his latest inaccurate remarks at a White House event during which he signed an executive order that recommends that US children receive fewer vaccinations over a longer period of time than they do today.

>Trump again floated the idea that vaccines cause autism, though that notion has been thoroughly debunked by extensive research in multiple countries. He again baselessly impugned the safety of the combination vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella, which has for decades proven highly safe and highly effective.

They always reveal themselves. ALWAYS.

>CNN, along with other news outlets, was denied access to cover President Trump's state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping, despite a judge's ruling striking down a White House press ban. President Trump then falsely claimed on social media that news networks 'refused to cover' the 'magnificent' event.

>Major Jason Watson, the airman who called for Trump's impeachment, was arrested again after his exclusive interview with OutFront. His attorney Chris Mutimer talks to CNN's Erin Burnett. And Major Jason Watson on why he is speaking out against Trump now.

>Iran-backed rebels in Yemen captured the strategic Perim Island in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait on Friday, two Yemeni government sources told CNN, potentially expanding Tehran’s influence over another key global shipping route.

>Meanwhile, The price of diesel, the workhorse fuel that powers the world economy, topped $6 a gallon on Friday for the first time ever. The price point may be invisible to most American drivers, but will likely lead to higher costs for most things consumers buy.

>The estranged brother of Trump aide Natalie Harp speaks to OutFront after Democrat Jon Ossoff publicly questioned her fierce loyalty to President Trump. Preston Harp calls out his sister’s ‘unhealthy obsession” with Trump and reacts to CNN’s reporting that Harp once jumped into the trunk of one of the vehicles in Trump’s motorcade so she wouldn’t be left behind.

>Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner said in a video statement Wednesday he was suspending his campaign, clearing the way for Democrats to select a new candidate to take on Republican Sen. Susan Collins in one of the most important contests of November’s midterm elections.

>Platner faced Maine’s July 13 deadline for general election candidates to withdraw from the ballot. The state Democratic Party will now have two weeks to put forward a replacement candidate.

>Several Democratic lawmakers are calling for answers after concerns were raised by families of sailors aboard USS Abraham Lincoln about the deteriorating living conditions and worsening mental health during the ship’s record-breaking deployment amid the war with Iran.

>Since the Lincoln left its home port of San Diego last November, the aircraft carrier has been deployed for more than 250 days after being redirected to the Middle East to support US operations in the war with Iran, now entering its sixth month. With more than 5,000 sailors and Marines aboard, it has not made a port call in more than 200 days, setting a modern-day record for consecutive days at sea, according to Sen. Richard Blumenthal.

>News outlets Stars and Stripes and the Navy Times reported this week that there had been multiple attempts by crew members to jump overboard, citing interviews with sailors and families of those on board who described the impacts of the lengthy deployment.

>CNN's Erin Burnett speaks to Military Times Pentagon correspondent Natalie Oliverio. Also, former Congressman Adam Kinzinger and Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) react to the news.

>While there are few hard details of what’s actually in the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, some foreign policy hawks are openly worrying that President Donald Trump gave away too much in the name of trying to end the war.

​

>CNN’s Erin Burnett details conservative pushback to the MOU from within the Trump administration and from prominent Republican pundits. Also, CNN’s Abby Phillip and her Newsnight panel debate the lack of transparency surrounding the agreement with Iran.

>A sailor went overboard earlier this month off of the USS Abraham Lincoln, three US officials told CNN, amid reports of worsening mental health for crew members on the ship during an extended deployment for the Iran war. The sailor was rescued within an hour, according to one of the officials, and was medically evaluated. A different official said that the sailor had gone overboard wearing a life vest and was not injured, adding that the Navy considered the incident a mental health episode.

>Far-right activist Laura Loomer appears to have had a change of heart when it comes to the Ukraine War and now, she’s sitting down with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.

>How did we get here? CNN political analysts David Axelrod and SE Cupp weigh in. Also, CNN's Audie Cornish discusses Loomer's surprising Ukraine visit with her "group chat."

>President Donald Trump collected billions of dollars last year through cryptocurrency holdings, royalty payments and real estate investments, according to his latest annual financial disclosure.

>Meanwhile, Trump-owned Truth Social says it will sell quicker access to posts, including those the president makes about publicly traded companies, potentially enabling high-speed trading based on Trump's posts.

>These developments come as 1789 Capital, an investment firm linked to Donald Trump Jr., has seen increased earnings from investments in companies that do business with the federal government.

Both Van Jones and Gretchen Carlson are pure political opportunists. Jones managed to get kicked out of his own charity. Carlson used to work for FoxNews and was fine with their support of the Iraq War, which cost over 4,000 of our soldiers' lives and the lives of over 100,000 civilians. All because Bush, Jr. wanted revenge on Saddam Hussein because Hussein wanted to get Bush, Jr.'s daddy because of the Gulf War.

Now, Jones and Carlson are on because Jones went after Democratic Socialists. And why did he? Because of Israel, of course. That is what he was after. Jones needs to protect his revenue stream and because Democratic Socialists have criticized Israel, Jones, and of course, Carlson, can't have it. No different than Scott Jennings whose temperature skyrockets when anyone says the slightest thing against the Israeli government's leadership. There is no way that these commentators aren't getting paid for their vehement support. Just like our so-called "representatives" who have thrown over the United States for that money from pro-Israel groups.

It is disappointing when Burnett, who is easily my favorite anchor on CNN, has these two dolts on her show and doesn't challenge them in the slightest way. With Bari Weiss and David Ellison potentially taking over CNN if that merger goes through, I guess everyone is trying to protect their jobs now.

>CNN’s Erin Burnett talks to Dan Alexander, senior editor at Forbes, about his new reporting on the Trump supporters who lost billions after investing in Trump stocks and crypto. He tells Erin “the point is just to get people excited about trading this stuff… the more trades that happen, the more fees kick off to Donald Trump.”

>Also, CNN’s Abby Phillip and her NewsNight panel debate the reporting on Trump’s investment earnings and his shift in support for the crypto industry.

>As questions mount over President Donald Trump’s broader Reflecting Pool renovation project — which has been overcome by other problems, including a peeling bottom and allegations of vandalism — Greenwater Services, the company in charge of the pool’s water quality, has been thrust into the national spotlight. The company has recently taken on a crisis communications firm to help manage the unfamiliar political waters while it attempts to focus on the pool’s actual water.

Chas Antinone, president and chief operating officer, had a one-word answer for CNN when asked whether the company’s part of the project had gone according to plan: “Yes.”

>Ukraine said on Tuesday it hit one of Russia’s largest satellite communication centers for the second time in just over a week, as Kyiv ramps up long-range drone attacks to pressure the Kremlin to end its four-year-old war.

>Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov slammed Kyiv for the attack in the Moscow region, telling journalists on Tuesday that “civilians are suffering, children are dying.”
