-International Events-
1. Trump tells Israel and Iran to stop ‘shooting’ after countries launch first strikes since April ceasefire: Trump has leaned on Israel to stop its attacks on Lebanon to allow room for a deal to end the wider war with Iran. An Israeli military official said Iran has fired nearly 30 missiles towards Israel since Sunday night, adding that Yemen’s Houthi rebels separately fired two missiles at the country. Iranian media is reporting that the country’s air defences shot down a drone over Tehran earlier today. It followed reports of several explosions being heard in the capital. (TheGuardian)
2. China’s Xi Jinping arrives in North Korea for rare summit with Kim Jong Un: The visit is Xi’s first overseas trip this year and comes just weeks after he separately hosted Russian leader Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump in the Chinese capital. The timing plays to Beijing’s efforts to cast China as a versatile, global power broker at a moment of intense geopolitical flux. (CNN)
3. A 7.8 magnitude quake in the Philippines kills at least 32, fells buildings and sets off a tsunami: An offshore magnitude 7.8 earthquake rocked the southern Philippines on Monday, killing at least 32 people, injuring more than 200 others mostly in damaged buildings and sending a 1-meter (3-foot) tsunami into nearby coasts. The quake, the strongest to strike the country this year, was centered at sea off Mindanao, the second most populous island in the Philippine archipelago. (AP)
-US Events-
1. Karen Bass, Nithya Raman Projected Winners in the Primary for Los Angeles Mayoral Race as Spencer Pratt Falls: Decision Desk HQ called the race for Nithya Raman to secure the number two spot behind incumbent Karen Bass on Sunday, with roughly 87 percent of the votes in. Bass earned 34.68 percent while Raman won 27.12 percent. Spencer Pratt earned 26.69 percent of the vote and had been in the lead ahead of Nithya Raman since election night; his lead over Raman steadily declined as mail-in votes were tallied throughout the week. (Breitbart) (AC-This third-world election system will break this country.)
2. 6 wounded in stabbing at New York’s Penn Station ahead of NBA finals: The New York City Fire Department said it received a call around 7 p.m. reporting multiple people stabbed at West 33rd Street and 7th Avenue, one entrance to Penn Station. A suspect is in custody, according to a law enforcement official, who noted the suspect may be unhoused. Monday marks the first time the NBA Finals are coming to Madison Square Garden since 1999. (CNN)
3. Search for suspects enters third day after 12 people shot near a festival in Toledo, Ohio: The victims, who range in age from 14 to 61 years, were in stable condition and continue to improve. Rapid bursts of gunfire Saturday sent festivalgoers at the Old West End Festival screaming and running for cover between golf carts and food trucks. There appears to have been two people who were “probably shooting at each other,” and neither is in custody. (CNN)
-Regulatory and Legal-
1. Congress Gets 7 New Crypto Tax Bills: Here's What's In Them: House Republican leadership has begun circulating seven new crypto tax bills that will take center stage at a key hearing next week. The bills cover a wide range of hot-button issues, including de minimis exemptions, the tax treatment of crypto staking and mining rewards, and an IRS safe harbor for prior failures to report crypto gains.

-Institutional Concerns-
1. JPMorgan Warns Strategy’s Bitcoin Sale Spooked Markets: JPMorgan analysts say Strategy’s last week sale of 32 bitcoin unsettled crypto markets and may force Michael Saylor’s company to rebuild its dollar reserves to restore confidence among investors. Strategy ($MSTR) created a $1.44 billion US dollar reserve in December to safeguard dividend payments on its preferred stock and service interest on outstanding debt. @JPMorgan said the company now needs to clarify how it plans to meet roughly $1.7 billion in annual dividend payments, particularly if bitcoin remains under pressure. (Bitcoinist) (AC- Saylor is certainly treaded new ground, and many do not comprehend his path.)
-Economic Indicators-
1. Tech Rout Drags US Stocks Sharply Lower: US stocks fell sharply on Friday as a steep selloff in semiconductor shares rattled markets. The Nasdaq dropped 4.2%, marking its worst session since April 2025, while the S&P 500 lost 2.6%. The Dow Jones declined 1.4% after reaching a record high the previous day. (TradingEconomics) (AC-That's a big daily drop.)
2. US 10-Year Treasury Yield Hits 2-Week High: The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note climbed to around 4.57% on Monday, reaching its highest level in two weeks as stronger-than-expected US jobs data reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates later this year. (TradingEconomics)
-Security Concerns-
1. Trump considers Palantir exec to lead CISA: Shyam Sankar, the chief technology officer at Palantir Technologies, has emerged as a lead contender for the long vacant Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) director role. Sankar, 44, has worked at Miami-based @Palantir for more than 20 years and served as the firm’s chief operating officer for nearly 17 years before taking the CTO job in 2023. CISA has not had a Senate-confirmed chief since Biden-appointee Jen Easterly stepped down in January 2025. (RecordedFuture)
-Technology and Science-
1. Google's New CAPTCHA Plans Will Create A Two-Tier Internet Only Accessible To Those With 'Approved' Devices: @Google appears to be working on a system to lock large parts of the internet behind a new form of CAPTCHA designed not to tell apart humans from bots, but instead to make an un-person of anyone who doesn't own an 'approved' Android or Apple device. Widespread use of hardware attested CAPTCHAs would relegate users of desktops and non-Google, non-Apple phones to second-class citizens, only able to browse the internet with an @Apple or Android device to act as their chaperone. (ZeroHedge) (AC-The prolific use of Google-based CAPTCHAs for financial and other necessary online sessions would bring a large swath of customers under the dystopian surveillance system and outcast users of freedom-based OSs, VPNs and hardware.)
2. SpaceX targets record IPO details. @SpaceX set $135/share pricing to raise up to ~$75 billion (largest IPO ever), valuing the company at ~$1.75-1.77 trillion ahead of expected Nasdaq debut (SPCX) around June 12. (Reuters)
3. New Solar Desalination Technology Turns Seawater Into Drinking Water Without Toxic Brine: Unlike older desalination plants that rely on heavy energy use and chemical processing, this new approach uses sunlight and specially designed surfaces to produce drinking water more efficiently. The technology combines solar panels, advanced heat absorption, and natural evaporation to improve clean water production while reducing waste that can damage marine ecosystems. Laser-textured black metal panels absorb nearly all incoming sunlight and convert it into heat efficiently. Seawater spreads across the surface through a superwicking process, creating a thin layer that speeds up evaporation and improves clean water production. (TechTimes)
