Privacy-focused software provider Proton has filed a lawsuit against Apple, alleging the iPhone maker engages in anticompetitive practices and charges excessive fees in its App Store. TechCrunch reports that Proton, the company behind privacy-centric apps like Proton Mail, has joined a class-action lawsuit against Apple in the Northern District of California. The suit accuses Apple of holding monopolies in the smartphone, app distribution, and app payment processing markets, and compares the company’s App Store fees to arbitrary tariffs on internet commerce.

President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order terminating all U.S. sanctions on Syria, to “support the country’s path to stability and peace.” Trump’s order removed sanctions on the nation and new government of Syria, but maintained those targeting former dictator Bashar Assad personally, along with “his associates, human rights abusers, drug traffickers, persons linked to chemical weapons activities, ISIS or its affiliates, and Iranian proxies.” After seemingly winning his brutal decade-long struggle to remain in power with heavy assistance from Russia and Iran, Assad was suddenly overthrown in a lightning-fast December 2024 offensive led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham…
American manufacturing activity picked up in June, according to a pair of closely watched industry surveys, but the outlook remains clouded by tariff pressures, labor constraints, and uneven demand. The S&P Global U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index climbed to 52.9, its highest level in more than three years.

Arizona voters will decide in November on whether or not to designate drug cartels operating at the U.S. Southern border with Mexico as terrorists. The vote will come after the Arizona state senate failed to pass a measure last year due to a slim Republican majority, per The Hill. “Arizona is on the frontlines of a war that Washington ignored until President Trump took action. This resolution gives the Trump Administration another tool to defend our state, uphold the rule of law, and protect innocent lives,” state Rep. Steve Montenegro (R) said in a press release. The resolution comes after the Trump…
Sen. Lisa Murkowski made the “agonizing” decision to vote for Senate Republicans’ version of the “big, beautiful” bill after winning key concessions on federal health and food-aid programs for her state. “Did I get everything I wanted? Absolutely not,” Murkowski told reporters after the vote. But Murkowski touted changes she secured to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program that would allow for “greater flexibility” for Alaska and extra support for rural hospitals “that is going to be very key.” Senate Republicans also removed a controversial tax on solar and wind energy projects — a change Murkowski had pushed for. She also…
Why Trump managed to settle the conflict in the Middle East but not in Eastern Europe By Valentin Loginov, a Russian journalist focused on the political process, sociology and international relationsUS President Donald Trump secured his image as a “peacemaker” by swiftly de-escalating tensions in the Israel-Iran conflict. However, the methods he employed have little to do with the system of international law that the West swears by when condemning Russia’s own military operation.So, why has the situation in the Middle East become calmer while the Ukraine crisis rages on? Perhaps the answer lies in a comment Trump made during…
Speaker Mike Johnson vowed to quickly pass President Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ after the Senate passed the reconciliation bill 51-50 (with Vance as the tie-breaker) on Tuesday. Full statement from Johnson and Scalise: The House will work quickly to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill that enacts President Trump’s full America First agenda by the Fourth of July. The American people gave us a clear mandate, and after four years of Democrat failure, we intend to deliver without delay. Republicans were elected to do exactly what this bill achieves: secure the border, make tax cuts permanent, unleash American energy dominance,…

Architect of the European Migrant Crisis, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, criticised the current government in Berlin for refusing migrants claiming asylum at the border. Anyone who appears at the German border and says the word “asylum” should be given “due process”, ex-Chancellor Merkel said this week, in apparent condemnation of attempts by the current government of Friedrich Merz to stem the tide of illegal migration into the country. Merz, who comes from the same neo-liberal Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party as Merkel, has invoked emergency EU powers to refuse entry of migrants to ensure the safety of the German…
