<p><b><span class="citation-249">Topline:</span></b><span class="citation-249 citation-end-249"> President Trump announced on Monday that he is shortening the deadline for Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine, while also taking the rare step of publicly disagreeing with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the humanitarian situation in Gaza. </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-248 citation-end-248">After a string of successfully brokered ceasefires around the globe, President Trump’s patience with Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine appears to be waning. </span>On Monday, Trump announced he was shortening his previous 50-day deadline for Russia to agree to a peace deal.</p>
<p><span class="citation-247 citation-end-247">“I’m gonna make a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today,” Trump <a href="https://x.com/HarrisonKrank/status/1949820788082692176">said</a>. </span><span class="citation-246 citation-end-246">“There’s no reason in waiting.” </span><span class="citation-245 citation-end-245">He also took direct shots at the Russian leader, saying, &#8220;I’m not so interested in talking anymore. We have such nice conversations &#8230; and then people die the following night with a missile going into a town.”</span></p>
<p><span class="citation-244 citation-end-244">If Putin fails to meet the new deadline, the U.S. could increase military aid to NATO or impose crippling 100% tariffs on Russia and secondary tariffs on any country that trades with them. </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-243 citation-end-243">In another major foreign policy development, the president broke with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on the issue of starvation in Gaza. </span><span class="citation-242 citation-end-242">When asked if he agreed with Netanyahu’s claim that there is “no starvation” in Gaza, Trump <a href="https://x.com/HarrisonKrank/status/1949820788082692176">responded</a>, “I don’t know. Based on television, not particularly. Those children look very hungry&#8230;” </span><span class="citation-241 citation-end-241">He added that the U.S. would work with European allies to set up food distribution centers in the region. </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-240 citation-end-240">These moves come as a new poll from The Wall Street Journal found that voters trust the GOP over Democrats on foreign policy by an 8-point margin. </span></p>

<p><b><span class="citation-239">Topline:</span></b><span class="citation-239 citation-end-239"> A graphic video of a brutal street beating in downtown Cincinnati has gone viral, sparking widespread outrage and a national conversation about media bias and the reality of violent crime in America. </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-238 citation-end-238">The video, captured Saturday during the Cincinnati Music Festival, shows a man being thrown to the ground and beaten by a group of what appear to be mostly black men. </span><span class="citation-237 citation-end-237">A woman who steps in to protect the man is then sucker-punched in the face, falls to the concrete, and appears to lose consciousness. </span><span class="citation-236 citation-end-236">No police were visible during the two-and-a-half-minute clip, a fact the local Fraternal Order of Police president highlighted while condemning witnesses for recording instead of calling 911. </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-235 citation-end-235">The video drew immediate condemnation from prominent conservatives. </span><span class="citation-234 citation-end-234">Vice President JD Vance said, &#8220;We have got to make great American cities safe again for families and children.&#8221; </span><span class="citation-233 citation-end-233">The lack of coverage from most national media outlets on Sunday was noted by Elon Musk and others. </span></p>
<p>Author Heather Mac Donald told Morning Wire that the media’s relative silence is due to racial dynamics. <span class="citation-232 citation-end-232">&#8220;The only black lives they care about are those extremely rare instances where a white police officer has taken the life of a black person,&#8221; she said. </span><span class="citation-231 citation-end-231">Mac Donald argued that the media’s narrative ignores the reality of violent crime, citing a National Academy of Sciences report showing that &#8220;blacks commit violent crime against whites at 35 times the rate at which whites commit violent crime against blacks.&#8221; </span><span class="citation-230 citation-end-230">The DOJ&#8217;s Civil Rights Division, headed by Harmeet Dhillon, stated that &#8220;where race is a motivation, federal law may apply.&#8221; </span></p>
<h2><b>Trump Signs Order To ‘Save College Sports’</b></h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-953419" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/MRN-7.29.25-Tue-Seg-Head-3-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/MRN-7.29.25-Tue-Seg-Head-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/MRN-7.29.25-Tue-Seg-Head-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/MRN-7.29.25-Tue-Seg-Head-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/MRN-7.29.25-Tue-Seg-Head-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/MRN-7.29.25-Tue-Seg-Head-3.jpg 1920w" sizes=" (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></div>
<p><b><span class="citation-229">Topline:</span></b><span class="citation-229 citation-end-229"> President Trump has signed an executive order aimed at creating federal guardrails for the new landscape of college athletics, particularly regarding Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) payments to athletes. </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-228 citation-end-228">In recent years, court rulings and the <em>House v. NCAA</em> settlement have allowed student-athletes to profit from NIL deals and revenue sharing, creating what many call an unsustainable &#8220;wild, wild west&#8221; in college sports. </span><span class="citation-227 citation-end-227">President Trump’s executive order attempts to bring order by prohibiting &#8220;third-party, pay-for-play payments,&#8221; a reference to donor-funded &#8220;collectives&#8221; that have sprung up to pay athletes. </span><span class="citation-226 citation-end-226">The order allows for &#8220;legitimate, fair-market-value compensation&#8221; for endorsements, but as Crain &amp; Company&#8217;s David Cone told Morning Wire, defining and enforcing &#8220;fair-market-value&#8221; remains a subjective and significant challenge. </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-225 citation-end-225">Critics of the order, including an attorney for the plaintiffs in the NCAA settlement, accuse Trump of &#8220;aiding the NCAA at the expense of athletes.&#8221; </span><span class="citation-224 citation-end-224">The order also seeks to protect women&#8217;s and non-revenue sports. </span><span class="citation-223 citation-end-223">With athletic departments now facing the high cost of paying football and basketball players, these other programs are at risk of being cut. </span><span class="citation-222 citation-end-222">The executive order states these sports are vital for &#8220;developing world-class athletes&#8221; and serving as a pipeline to the Olympics. </span></p>
