President Joe Biden has faced criticism for his handling of the rise in antisemitic incidents in recent months. Experts argue that Biden has failed to adequately address the issue, allowing it to escalate over the past six months. A recent report by the Anti-Defamation League found that antisemitic incidents in the United States increased by 34% in 2021 compared to the previous year.

The Biden administration has condemned anti-Semitism and taken some steps to address the issue, but critics say these efforts have been insufficient. They argue that Biden needs to do more to speak out against anti-Semitism and to support the Jewish community.

A group of Republican rebels is weighing in on the effort to oust Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) as chair of the House Republican Conference. Cheney has been a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, and her opponents are seeking to replace her with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY).

The anti-McCarthy rebels are concerned that Stefanik would be a "yes-man" for Trump and would not be an effective leader for the Republican Party. They are also concerned that replacing Cheney would send a message that the party is not committed to conservative principles.

President Biden's polling lead over former President Donald Trump has narrowed in recent months. A recent poll by the Pew Research Center found that Biden's lead over Trump has dropped from 10 points in April to just 4 points in June.

The narrowing poll gap is a sign that the 2024 presidential election is likely to be competitive. Trump remains a popular figure among Republican voters, and he has been endorsed by several prominent Republicans. Biden, on the other hand, has faced criticism from both Democrats and Republicans for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and other issues.

Former President Donald Trump has denied reports that he sometimes nods off during his criminal trial. In a Truth Social post, Trump stated that he "simply close[s] my beautiful blue eyes, sometimes, listen[s] intensely, and take[s] it ALL in!!!"

The reports of Trump falling asleep during his trial have been widely circulated on social media and in the news. However, Trump has dismissed these reports as "FAKE NEWS."

After appearing in court on Thursday, former President Donald Trump stopped at a fire department in midtown Manhattan to deliver pizzas. The fire department was the same one that Trump visited in 2021 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
