Pentagon Halts Some Weapons Shipments to Ukraine After It’s Revealed Joe Biden Depleted US Munitions Stockpiles
The Pentagon has halted shipments of some air defense missiles and other precision munitions to Ukraine due to worries that U.S. weapons stockpiles have fallen too low.
The decision was driven by the Pentagon’s policy chief, Elbridge Colby, and was made after a review of Pentagon munitions stockpiles, leading to concerns that the total number of artillery rounds, air defense missiles and precision munitions was sinking, according to three people familiar with the issue.
The initial decision to withhold some aid promised during the Biden administration came in early June, according to the people, but is only taking effect now as Ukraine is beating back some of the largest Russian barrages of missiles and drones at civilian targets in Kyiv and elsewhere.

US Approves $510 Million Arms Deal for Israel
The deal is for more than 7,000 JDAM kits, which turn bombs into precision-guided weapons
The Trump administration has approved a new arms deal for Israel that will provide the country with $510 million worth of Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMS), kits that turn bombs into precision-guided weapons, as the US continues to provide military aid to support the genocidal war in Gaza.
According to the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), the State Department notified Congress of the sale of 3,845 JDAMS for 2,000-pound BLU-109 bombs and 3,280 JDAMS for 500-pound MK 82 bombs. The deal also includes US “government and contractor engineering, logistics, and technical support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support.”

Trump threatens to throw 'bad' citizens 'the hell out' of the U.S. as his next major action
President Donald Trump warned American criminals they may be the next inhabitants of the 'Alligator Alcatraz' facility and deported out of the country.
He issued the threat during a tour of a migrant detention center in the Everglades surrounded by alligators, musing that home-born 'bad people' may be his next targets to get them 'the hell out' of the U.S.
'We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time,' he said. 'Some of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job.'
It's not the first time Trump has speculated about deporting Americans convicted of crimes. In April, he suggested sending them to the notorious El Salvadorian prison currently holding migrants deported from the U.S.
Courts have consistently ruled that citizenship provides protection against removal from the country, explaining why Trump's off-the-cuff remark appears to be more rhetorical bluster than actual policy.
'It is not a place I want to go hiking any time soon,' Trump said. 'Very soon this facility will house some of the most menacing migrants, the most vicious people on the planet. We're surrounded by miles of swamp land and the only way out is deportation.'
Trump said he’d like to see similar facilities in ‘many states,’ adding Florida would getting a second one ‘and probably a couple more.’
‘The incredible thing is picking the site because the site was one of the most natural sites. It might be as good as the real Alcatraz. Well, that's a spooky one too. That's a tough site. So I really think it could last as long as they want to have,’ he said.
Democrats have slammed the facility as a 'makeshift prison camp,' while environmentalists have questioned its impact on the local climates and Native Americans protested it being built on sacred ground.
The controversial detention facility was spearheaded by Florida Republican leaders and garnered its nickname due to its location: it sits about 37 miles from Miami in the middle of a swamp surrounded by snakes and alligators — and in an area of the state that is prone to hurricanes.
The president noted that ‘I couldn't care less’ that the facilities were controversial.
Trump looked visibly pleased with the setup during his tour, observing stacks of bunk beds behind chain-linked fencing inside an air conditioned tent in a Florida swamp.

Trump: Israel ‘agreed to necessary conditions to finalize’ 60-day Gaza ceasefire
US President Donald Trump announces that “Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize” a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza.
During that two-month truce, “We will work with all parties to end the war,” Trump says in a Truth Social post, summarizing the development that came out of meetings top US officials held today in Washington with visiting Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer.
Trump says Qatar and Egypt will deliver the final proposal to Hamas.
“I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this deal because it will not get better — it will only get worse,” Trump writes.
Trump appears to be referring to a proposal for a temporary ceasefire that has been discussed the past several months. Those talks have been at an impasse, largely over the terms for what happens at the end of that truce, with Israel demanding that it maintain the ability to resume fighting, while Hamas seeks for the temporary truce to become permanent.
In declaring that he will “work to end the war,” Trump appears to be trying to appease both sides, mentioning an end to the war without speaking definitively.
Arab mediators have been seeking to reconvene Israeli and Hamas negotiators for proximity talks in Cairo in order to close remaining gaps.

"This Is The Next Level": AI-Powered "Digital Workers" Deployed At Major Bank To Work Alongside Humans
If you’re working in banking, your next colleague could be a bot. Once unthinkable, the Bank of New York Mellon announced that it has deployed dozens of artificial intelligence-powered “digital employees” that operate with human employees, and even have their own company login credentials.
The Wall Street Journal reports:
Similar to human employees, these digital workers have direct managers they report to and work autonomously in areas like coding and payment instruction validation, said Chief Information Officer Leigh-Ann Russell. Soon they’ll have access to their own email accounts and may even be able to communicate with colleagues in other ways like through Microsoft Teams, she said.
What the bank, also known as BNY, calls “digital workers,” other banks may refer to as “AI agents.” And while the industry lacks a clear consensus on exact terminology, it’s clear that the technology has a growing presence in financial services.
“This is the next level,” Russell told the Journal. “I’m sure in six months’ time it will become very, very prevalent.”
BNY said its AI Hub developed two digital employee personas in three months, according to Adrienne Russell. One persona is engineered to identify and resolve coding vulnerabilities, while the other verifies payment instructions. Each persona can operate in multiple instances—up to several dozen—with each instance confined to a specific team to limit company wide data access.
Soon, the bank plans to integrate its digital workforce with email addresses and Microsoft Teams access in the near future, enabling these AI personas to proactively communicate with human managers, but will maintain its focus on recruiting top human talent while simultaneously expanding its digital workforce, according to the Journal.
Of course, BNY isn’t the only bank looking to shift work from its human staff to AI. Goldman Sachs has already launched an internal AI assistant to 10,000 of its bankers, traders and asset managers to use. In an interview with CNBC, the bank’s Chief Information Officer, Marco Argenti, said the AI assistant will pitch in with basic tasks like proofreading documents and improving language. “Think about all the tasks that you might want to complete with regards to a variety of use cases for all those professions that can be now at your fingertips,” Argenti said. “The AI assistant becomes really like talking to another GS employee."
“As we progress, the second step is when you’re starting to have this agentic behavior, that is, ‘I’m completing a task on behalf of a Goldman employee, and I need to take a set of steps,’” he added. “That’s where the model is going to start to do things like a Goldman employee, not only say things like a Goldman employee.”
At JPMorgan Chase, Chief Analytics Officer Derek Waldron thinks of “digital employees” as more of a helpful model for business people to conceptualize AI tools. They are fundamentally different from human employees, of course, but also traditional software systems, and so they may need their own type of system connectivity and access management, he said. It’s an open question exactly how much or how little access to give an agent, and it’s going to have to be figured out on a case-by-case basis, he said.
And while it’s not clear yet exactly what it will look like, he does envision a future where every employee will have an AI assistant and every client experience will have an AI concierge. 230,000 employees already have access to a general AI chatbot through the company’s proprietary platform, and the goal is to build out more autonomous and more agentic versions of it that are further and further tailored to individual job groups. -WSJ

Judge Orders Halt To Mass Layoffs At Dept. Of Health And Human Services
A federal judge on July 1 ordered officials to stop the overhaul of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), finding that the layoffs enacted in April likely ran counter to federal law.
“With respect to the merits, the Court concludes the States have shown a likelihood of success on their claims that the HHS’s action was both arbitrary and capricious as well as contrary to law,” U.S. District Judge Melissa DuBose wrote in a 58-page ruling that granted a motion from states including New York for a preliminary injunction against HHS.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in March announced a major overhaul of the agency, including the planned terminations of some 10,000 workers and the reorganization of various divisions. Workers were terminated in April.
Nineteen states and Washington sued HHS in May, alleging the overhaul violates federal law and the U.S. Constitution.
They said in a motion for a preliminary injunction, or a court-ordered halt to the overhaul while the legal case proceeds, that Kennedy’s March announcement was arbitrary and capricious. Under the Administrative Procedure Act, judges can halt decisions they find are “arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law.”
The directive was “arbitrary and capricious because Defendants’ purported justifications for the Directive are conclusory and unsupported by any evidence,” the states said.
Kennedy said the overhaul was happening in part to streamline the agency to make it more efficient and effective.
“But there is nothing that connects Defendants’ sweeping actions to these wholly conclusory statements,” the states said. “Defendants do not explain, for example, how the March 27 Directive will make HHS more ’responsive.‘ Nor do they cite anything to suggest that mass layoffs will make the agency more ’efficient.'”
In their response to the motion, government officials said that the Administrative Procedure Act claims suffered from deficiencies, including overlooking “the cost-saving value of actions like consolidating redundant departments.”
DuBose, the judge, said that she reviewed the March directive and testimony delivered by Kennedy on the matter and did not find “a reasoned explanation” for the overhaul.
