However, he refused the request.
The letter that accompanies the subpoena reads:
The Committee expressed its interest in whether your financial relationship with the Biden family affected your assessment of former President Biden’s physical and mental fitness to fulfill his duties as President.
Given your connections with the Biden family, the Committee sought to understand if you contributed to an effort to hide former President Biden’s fitness to serve from the American people.
You refused the Committee’s request. However, to advance the Committee’s oversight and legislative responsibilities and interests, your testimony is critical.
Accordingly, please see the attached subpoena for testimony at a deposition on June 27, 2025.

RFK Jr. to fire all members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to fire all 17 members of the panel that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on vaccines, he said Monday.
“The committee has been plagued with persistent conflicts of interest and has become little more than a rubber stamp for any vaccine,” Kennedy wrote in an opinion piece published in The Wall Street Journal. He wrote that the decision is meant to restore faith in vaccines.
Nearly two hours after Kennedy’s column was published, members of the panel received termination notices from the CDC, according to a copy of the email seen by POLITICO.
“Per the June 9, 2025 directive from the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, this email serves as a formal notice of your immediate termination as a member of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP),” the notice reads.
ACIP votes on updates to the CDC’s vaccine schedule. The CDC director has the power to overrule those recommendations but rarely does. Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic, will now be able to select replacements for all members, who usually serve four-year terms.

European populism is rising against an oppressive political elite
Europe’s political class has turned its back on the people it was supposed to protect. The people have taken notice.
Over the weekend, a conservative Polish historian named Karol Nawrocki, backed by the Law and Justice opposition (and President Trump), narrowly won the Polish presidential election. For the European political establishment, Nawrocki’s victory was a catastrophe — a harbinger of right-wing fascism looming over the continent.
Why? Because Nawrocki campaigned against the mass immigration policy of Brussels while promoting conservative Catholic values and Polish nationalism. During his victory speech Sunday night, Nawrocki said, “My Poland is a Poland without illegal migrants. It is a Poland where, instead of integration centers, there are deportation centers for those who want to destroy our safety.”
These populist movements are seen as a threat to the political class of Europe because they are concerned primarily with a proper historical understanding of what the nation is and what the state is for, which is the preservation of the nation and the defense of its people and heritage. Europe’s elites hate that, because their political project is explicitly post-national. They want to destroy the nation as such and replace it with supra-national institutions governed by a global elite.

The EU, much like the US, prioritizes profit over principles. They sell arms, turn a blind eye to atrocities and cling to a hollow reputation as human rights defenders
Despite its robust legal framework, the EU’s arms export control system faces significant challenges in enforcement and transparency, with commercial and geopolitical interests often taking precedence over humanitarian concerns.
The EU’s inaction — despite the alleged use of its weapons in civilian strikes — mirrors its complicity in arming Israel, whose conduct in Gaza has drawn international condemnation. And this precedent is not unique. We’ve already seen them from Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and conflicts in Ethiopia and Sudan.
Despite France’s international legal obligations, it has continued exporting arms to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, whose conduct in the Yemen conflict has been widely reported and condemned for serious violations of International humanitarian law. From 2015 to 2022 France exported over €21 billion in arms to these countries.
France will provide Ukraine with a new military aid package worth 2 billion euros ($2.1 billion), President Emmanuel Macron announced on March 26. The package includes anti-tank missiles, air defense systems, Mirage fighter jet missiles, armored vehicles, ammunition, and other aid, despite the possibility that French-supplied military aid could be used to commit or facilitate serious violations of IHL.
Although India has not officially disclosed which weapons were used in the May 7 air strikes, reports in Indian media citing security sources and open source intelligence suggest that at least some of the strikes on Pakistani soil involved SCALP-EG cruise missiles. These missiles, developed jointly by France and the UK under the MBDA consortium, were reportedly launched from the Indian Air Force’s newly acquired Rafale multirole fighter jets manufactured by Dassault Aviation. France became the second-largest global arms exporter in 2024, with India as its largest customer.
This systemic opacity makes it difficult to determine whether commercial and geopolitical interests are overriding humanitarian considerations in Paris and other European capitals. But what is clear is that this approach erodes the EU’s normative position on human rights and the rules-based international order it seeks to champion.

‘Europe overestimates Ukraine,’ says its ambassador
The European Union has grown accustomed to the war in Ukraine and was overestimating the country’s resilience, Ukraine’s ambassador to the EU in Brussels said.
Speaking on June 6, Vsevolod Chentsov added that the EU must now decide between serious integration or a looser, more politically convenient partnership.
Chentsov challenged the perception that Ukraine could indefinitely sustain itself under wartime conditions.
He said many in Europe were increasingly viewing the country as strong enough to cope on its own — a potentially dangerous assumption.
“Many people got used to this war from Russia and think Ukraine is strong enough to survive,” he said.
The same day, Brussels officially ended its Autonomous Trade Measures for Ukraine — a wartime suspension of tariffs first introduced in 2022.
While temporary safeguard limits were added earlier this year, the full reinstatement of duties, particularly on agri-food imports, marked a shift in tone.
At an event on economic security in Brussels, Chentsov called the decision “the end” of a facilitation period and questioned whether the European Commission still viewed Ukraine’s integration as a strategic priority or merely a transactional issue.

Bulgaria set to join Eurozone in 2026
The European Commission has given Bulgaria the green light to adopt the euro as of January 1, 2026, following a positive assessment of the country's economic convergence.
Bulgaria's approval to join the eurozone represents a significant milestone in its broader integration into the European Union, following its recent entry into the Schengen Agreement.
Despite facing political and economic challenges, Bulgaria has met the necessary criteria for euro adoption, with final decisions to be made by the Council of the EU.
The European Central Bank also gave a positive assessment of Bulgaria's application, saying it met the criteria of currency stability, inflation, public finances, and interest rates.
But Bulgaria's entry into the eurozone could prove to be a mistake
All the fastest growing EU countries have one thing in common - they do not use the euro: Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania.

Buried riches, blinded bureaucrats: how America surrendered the rare earth war to China
Imagine discovering a treasure chest beneath your home, only to lock it away because someone said the wood might bother the squirrels. That, in effect, is what the United States has done with rare earth metals, critical ingredients for smartphones, military hardware, wind turbines, and more.
While we’ve squabbled over red tape and risk-averse environmental policies, China quietly built a monopoly. Now, we’re left with a familiar American crisis: we need what we refused to mine.
Today, China controls about 90% of the global rare earth market. This isn’t a fluke or a stroke of natural luck. It’s the result of aggressive planning, state subsidies, strategic acquisitions, and a relentless willingness to do the dirty work.
These 17 elements, names like neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium, are essential for modern technology. From electric vehicle motors to guided missiles, they’re as crucial to this century as oil was to the last.
Yet, while China expanded, the U.S. retreated. Not because of a lack of supply (we’re sitting on some of the world’s richest deposits), but because policymakers, green absolutists, and bureaucratic inertia refused to get their hands dirty. It’s as if, having won the resource lottery, we tore up the ticket.

Riley Gaines talks public's reaction to Simone Biles' personal attack: 'Almost feel bad for her'
Riley Gaines suggested on Monday in a radio interview that she was stunned by the public’s response to Simone Biles’ personal attack against her.
The Olympic great launched into Gaines with a post responding to the former NCAA swimmer criticizing Minnesota softball officials for turning comments off of a post celebrating a high school’s state championship win with a transgender player on the team.
Biles called Gaines "truly sick" among other things. But the social media reaction didn’t appear to get behind the gold medalist.
"To acknowledge how the public has shifted to this, look at Simone Biles' comments section, go on Instagram, go on Twitter, go on any article that’s being posted, go on TikTok and she is getting absolutely demolished to the point where I almost feel bad for her, like I really do," Gaines said on "Clay & Buck."
"I have read these comments, I'm like, ‘oh my gosh.’ I was prepared when I got that notification on my phone for that onslaught of hatred to come towards me. I was like, ‘Oh gosh, she’s gonna send all of her little minion people who follow her over to my page.’ That is not at all what is happening. I haven’t heard a single negative comment about myself following this interaction."

France sees spike in VPN demand after withdrawal of major porn sites
Several VPN providers have reported a notable increase in user demand following the recent withdrawal of several pornographic websites in France, including Pornhub and YouPorn.
VPNs allow users to get around the fact that the sites were being shut down in France by allowing them to geolocate themselves in other territories, masking their actual locations.
They can be used to hide the user’s IP address and to bypass geolocation blocking of websites, for example, by connecting to a server in the US.
The three porn giants have decided to stop broadcasting in France in protest at new legislation regarding age verification designed to stop minors accessing pornographic content online.
Following the announcement on June 3 and the website withdrawal on June 4, Google Trends data showed a spike in VPN interest, with peak popularity recorded on June 5.
Lithuania-based VPN provider NordVPN confirmed it saw an increase in usage of more than 300%.

The British government lists cultural nationalists in the intelligence services' database as potential terrorists.
Concerns about mass migration and even the “lack of integration” of people of color are seen as “risk factors.
The label “right-wing radical” remains in the databases of the police, intelligence services and other agencies, including local guardianship authorities.
A year ago, the son of Rwandan migrants stabbed three girls to death in the English town of Southport. At that time, thousands of opponents of uncontrolled migration took to the streets of British cities. The authorities forcibly dispersed the protests.

Catalonia launches parallel diplomatic corps to Madrid
The Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE)-led government has continued its strategy of concessions to Catalan separatist-minded parties in exchange for parliamentary support.
On June 3, Barcelona officially declared the creation of an External Action and European Union Corps aimed at creating a body of civil servants specialised in international relations who will be posted across the regional government’s 21 legations abroad.
The Generalitat de Catalunya had attempted this measure in the past via councilwoman Meritxell Serret, who later joined President of the Together for Catalonia (Junts) party Carles Puigdemont in exile in Belgium.
The Catalan regional government had previously established its own Diplocat, or Catalonia Council of Public Diplomacy, only to see it later closed by the Madrid central government led by centre-right People’s Party (PP), accusing it of unconstitutionality.
The current Socialist national government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has relied on friendly separatist far-left forces in parliament as well as Catalan regional separatist parties for support since the 2023 snap elections.
President of the Government of Catalonia Salvador Illa – also the head of the Catalan branch of the PSOE – has been the main intermediary between the Madrid Socialists and regional forces, co-ordinating separatist demands with support for the Spanish Government under Sánchez.

The new strategy of the Atlantic Alliance: more spending, more weapons, more men, Eastern Europe transformed into a trench, Germany that abandons the pacifist rhetoric, America that leads the alliance from afar
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, during his official visit to the Lithuanian capital, stated that Germany and its NATO allies "will defend every inch of the Alliance's territory". Behind the words, however, there is geopolitics.
The German brigade, with headquarters in Rudninkai and a planned force of almost 5,000 soldiers and 2,000 armored vehicles, is not just a gesture of solidarity with the Baltics. Lithuania – a small country bordering Russia and Belarus – wedged in the infamous "Suwalki Corridor", a 65 km stretch that represents, according to NATO plans, the potentially most dangerous funnel in the event of an escalation with Moscow.
It is there that the new symbolic front of Cold War 2.0 is concentrated, where every joint exercise, every military reinforcement, every declaration like Merz's is at the same time a reassurance for the Baltic allies and a provocation for the Kremlin.
To become "the strongest conventional army in Europe Germany has suspended the constitutional brake on debt and increased military spending to 2.12% of GDP (it was 1.19% in 2014). The goal is to reach 5%, as requested by Trump and now supported by members of the German government.
But as long as Germany arms itself and its allies it does so within a logic of escalation that produces instability rather than security. NATO expands to the East, Moscow strengthens its war rhetoric, the Baltic countries become outposts full of tension, and diplomacy is reduced to a symbolic framework for exercises and deployments. Does this arms race really strengthen European security or does it risk bringing the next conflict closer?

Unleashing American drone dominance
President Donald Trump signed three executive orders aimed at jumpstarting the development, domestic manufacturing, integration, and global export of U.S.-made drones and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
The three orders direct the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to expedite rules allowing companies to operate eVTOL aircraft beyond visual line of sight, while also tightening restrictions to address national security threats. U.S. officials have expressed concern over foreign adversaries using drones to surveil military bases and other sensitive locations.
"The United States must accelerate the safe commercialization of drone technologies and fully integrate UAS into the National Airspace System," one of the orders says.
In the markets, air mobility stocks rose early in premarket trading following the EOs.
🔹Archer Aviation +9%
🔹Joby Aviation +9%
🔹Vertical Aerospace +8%
🔹Blade Air Mobility +2%
Earlier this year, billionaire investor Marc Andreessen—co-founder of the influential Silicon Valley venture firm Andreessen Horowitz—told Uncommon Knowledge host Peter Robinson (a former Reagan speechwriter) that the Biden-Harris administration had stifled the U.S. drone industry, while China's eVTOLs soared.

U.S. electric vehicle adoption plummets
High battery maintenance costs, high purchase prices, and concerns about range continue to be major deterrents for U.S. consumers to consider buying an EV.
These key barriers have remained more or less the same in recent years. But this year three other factors have also played a role to result in the smallest share of American drivers considering an EV purchase—lower gasoline prices, the increasingly uncertain future of EV incentives such as tax credits and rebates, and politics.
Only 16% of U.S. adults reported in AAA’s 2025 survey that they are “very likely” or “likely” to purchase a fully EV as their next car. This compares to 25% in 2022, when gasoline prices of $5 per gallon incentivized more buyers to consider an EV purchase.
This year, the percentage of consumers indicating they would be “unlikely” or “very unlikely” to purchase an EV rose to 63%, up from 51% last year.
For many drivers, hybrid or plug-in hybrid vehicles could be more appealing than full battery EVs as they combine the advantages of traditional internal combustion engines with electric power, reducing range anxiety while providing an environmentally friendly alternative.

High battery maintenance costs, high purchase prices, and concerns about range continue to be major deterrents for U.S. consumers to consider buying an EV.
These key barriers have remained more or less the same in recent years. But this year three other factors have also played a role to result in the smallest share of American drivers considering an EV purchase—lower gasoline prices, the increasingly uncertain future of EV incentives such as tax credits and rebates, and politics.

Teen suspended and dubbed a racist for saying ‘illegal alien’ wins $20K, apology from school
There’s justice for a North Carolina teen wrongly suspended and branded a racist for using the phrase “illegal alien.”
Last year, 16-year-old Christian McGhee of Central Davidson High School in Lexington, North Carolina, was given an English assignment: Write about aliens. Being an intelligent lad, Christian asked the teacher a logical question: “Like space aliens or illegal aliens who need green cards?”
A Hispanic classmate had heard his innocent question and threatened to “kick his a**.”
Next thing you know, Christian was dragged to the assistant principal’s office and suspended for three days, even though his classmate insisted he’d been joking about the butt-kicking and wasn’t offended in the slightest, and even though Christian was just trying to clarify what the teacher wanted.
After a year of legal wrangling, the Davidson County school district has now settled with the teen, pending a judge’s approval. As the Carolina Journal reports, the school board will remove all references to racial bias in the teen’s school record, offer a public apology for “the mischaracterization of racial bias,” and provide $20,000 in compensation.” The money will help pay for Christian to attend a new private school.
