Last update: 11 hours ago

Veterans in politics: A nonprofit tracking veteran participation says 752 veterans are registered to run for Congress in 2026—up 47% from 2024—calling it a “service wave,” with women veterans showing the biggest surge. World Cup commerce: FIFA’s expanded 48-team World Cup keeps rolling, and Bank of America is backing a veterans ticket giveaway tied to the tournament. D.C. legal fight: The D.C. Circuit ordered the IRS to revisit a whistleblower award denial, reversing a Tax Court ruling. UFC at the White House: A federal judge rejected an emergency bid to stop UFC Freedom 250 on the White House lawn, clearing the way for the event and its boosted fighter bonus pool. IMF and Ukraine: The IMF reached staff-level agreement on a $690M disbursement under a Ukraine program, with revised reform timelines after delays. Tech policy: Anthropic said a U.S. export-control directive forced it to suspend access to its newest models for all users. Local governance: A D.C. watchdog story highlights renewed scrutiny of city spending and oversight as election season heats up.
