US district judge Kathleen Williams tore into Trump's IRS lawsuit in a 56-page ruling, finding it was filed in bad faith to manipulate the judicial process.

CENTCOM is enforcing a full maritime blockade on all Iranian port traffic under Trump's orders, after three straight nights of US strikes on Iran. The US will also charge a 20% fee on cargo it protects passing through the Strait of Hormuz — a waterway that once carried 20% of the world's oil freely.

A gunman opened fire at a crowded Seattle food festival, leaving 3 dead and 7 shot in total — including a toddler. Police have one person in custody but are still hunting a second suspect.

The man who drove a vehicle into a Berlin Pride crowd had already been convicted of preparing serious violence just months earlier — and given a suspended sentence. He was still free pending a prosecutorial appeal when he carried out the attack.
