US–SEVERE-WEATHER
More storms threaten the central US as thousands recover from deadly tornadoes
SUMMARY: The National Weather Service is warning of still more days of dangerous weather conditions across the central U.S. The agency issued the forecast Monday after four days of tornadoes, thunderstorms and heavy rain killed more than two dozen people. Worst hit is Kentucky, where residents around London were trying to clean up three days after the storm arrived near midnight. London’s airport is a beehive of activity as people pick up water, food, diapers and other supplies. Forecasters say more tornadoes could center around eastern Oklahoma on Monday and Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee are under the highest risk on Tuesday.

US–FOREIGN DONORS-KANSAS-LAWSUIT
Kansas group fights campaign donor law it sees as a response to its success defending abortion
SUMMARY: A group that successfully defeated an anti-abortion ballot measure in Kansas has filed a federal lawsuit against a new state law aimed at curbing foreign influence in elections. Kansans for Constitutional Freedom says the law taking effect July 1 violates free speech rights. The group’s lawsuit was filed last week and argues that the new law is a response to the decisive August 2022 statewide vote against a proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution that would have allowed the Legislature to greatly restrict or ban abortion. The group’s largest single donor was a fund tied to a Swiss billionaire. Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach says the law has bipartisan support.

US–TAKE IT DOWN-EXPLAINER
President Trump signs Take It Down Act, addressing nonconsensual deepfakes. What is it?
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump has signed the Take It Down Act, which seeks to enact stricter penalties for the distribution of non-consensual intimate imagery, sometimes called ‘revenge porn’ online. The bill, supported by First Lady Melania Trump, was introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, in 2018. It passed in the Senate in February and the House in April. Critics say the bill is too broad and could lead to censorship and First Amendment issues.

US–CONGRESS-TAX CUTS
Trump looks to unite Republicans with visit to Capitol before key votes on tax cut bill
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump will look to build momentum for his sweeping tax cut and immigration bill, meeting with House Republicans as they try to work out their differences. Trump will attend the GOP’s weekly conference meeting on Tuesday. That’s according to a White House official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss plans not yet made public. Republicans can afford only a few defections to get the bill through the House, and differences remain. Some deficit hawks are insisting on quicker cuts to Medicaid and green energy programs before giving their full support. Others are seeking a large increase in the state and local tax deduction.
