Wicker calls for Secret Service director’s resignation following assassination attempt on Trump
SUMMARY: Senator Roger Wicker has urged U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally. Wicker criticized Cheatle for her lack of transparency and inadequate response to the incident, where 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks fired shots before being neutralized by a counter-sniper. Wicker emphasized the need for honest explanations and accountability, noting that law enforcement failed to act on early signs of the threat. He compared the incident to the failed assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan in 1981 and called for further congressional action.

Federal Reserve cuts key rate by sizable half-point, signaling end to its inflation fight
SUMMARY: The Federal Reserve has cut its benchmark interest rate by half a point, marking its first reduction in over four years. This move aims to bolster the slowing job market, lowering the key rate to approximately 4.8% from a previous high of 5.3%. As inflation has decreased from a peak of 9.1% in mid-2022 to 2.5%, the Fed plans additional cuts in upcoming meetings. Chair Jerome Powell emphasized the importance of supporting employment and stated their commitment to stability over political influences. The decision reflects a shift from combating inflation towards fostering economic growth while addressing rising unemployment concerns.
