President Donald Trump's political group is spending $10 million on ads in the Texas Senate race. This is MAGA, Inc.’s first significant spending commitment in the midterm elections. The race has become competitive for Democrats with James Talarico's candidacy. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is the Republican nominee. Trump's endorsement helped Paxton defeat Sen. John Cornyn in a May primary runoff. Public disapproval of Trump over the economy and the Iran war has been challenging for Republicans. MAGA, Inc. has $400 million in campaign funds. Trump said these funds are separate from the Republican National Committee's.

The Trump administration is proposing a rule that would strip private schools and colleges of their tax-exempt status if they provide targeted help to students based on their race. The proposal amounts to a significant escalation in the White House’s campaign to eradicate diversity programs directed at Black, Hispanic and other minority students. The Treasury Department proposed the change Thursday in a regulation that is broadly aimed at ending any measures that help students because of their race. It specifically says such benefits in admissions, scholarships and facilities “would be incompatible” with the rule. It’s the latest White House attempt to weed out diversity, equity and inclusion policies.

U.S. forces have struck Iranian rocket launchers on the Strait of Hormuz, marking their first military action in a month. Later, Iranian state television showed what it said were ballistic missiles being fired by Iran at U.S. bases in Jordan in response. The Revolutionary Guard Corps was reportedly preparing to launch rockets with sea mines into the strait where Tehran has asserted control. The U.S. recently cleared sea mines from the strait’s shipping routes. The Trump administration just days ago had shifted focus to economic pressure. The U.S. called the strikes a limited, precise action. A return to open conflict would be dangerous for the region, where Iran has targeted U.S. military bases and infrastructure in Gulf countries.
