Vice President JD Vance highlighted a “silver lining” in the Supreme Court’s recent decision that opposed President Donald Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship. He noted that the close 5-4 ruling signals that “the concept of birthright citizenship is hanging by a thread.”
During an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle, Vance expressed that the Supreme Court’s ruling was a “major, major mistake.” Vance pointed out that pregnant foreign nationals can come to the United States “on a vacation, give birth” and then their child and family “have the full benefits of American citizenship.”
Vance expressed the need to “continue to enforce the border” following the ruling. He described the Supreme Court’s decision as “very disappointing,” while acknowledging the importance of respecting it. He echoed Justice Alito and Thomas by suggesting that this ruling might encourage people to travel to the U.S., have a child, and subsequently gain full citizenship benefits for the family, which he called “a preposterous ruling.”
Despite the setback, Vance noted that many legal experts feared an even more lopsided decision, predicting outcomes of 7-2 or even 8-1 against them. He framed the 5-4 decision as a relatively positive outcome for conservatives.
Continuing his remarks, Vance emphasized that the narrow ruling suggests birthright citizenship is tenuously tied to the Fourteenth Amendment. This, he declared, calls for intensified efforts to refine the immigration process and closely monitor who enters the country. Moreover, he urged continued advocacy, citing past successes in reversing misguided judicial decisions.
Vance’s statements followed the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision, which went against Trump’s initiative to eliminate birthright citizenship.
– News’s Neil Munro reported that although the court’s decision was 6-3, Justice Brett Kavanaugh pointed out that “Trump and other politicians can change the rule via legislation”:
The decision was 6 to 3 against Trump, but Justice Brett Kavanaugh argued that Trump and other politicians can change the rule via legislation.
“Citizenship, then and now,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority, “was the right to have rights — to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to ‘every free-born person in this land.’ We keep that promise today.”
The right applies even to foreign parents who sneak across the United States borders with Canada and Mexico, or who enter as temporary workers or tourists, Roberts insisted.
In response to the Supreme Court’s ruling, Trump stated in a Truth Social post that Congress “should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship.”
Dean Wade is embarking on a new chapter in Philadelphia, joining the ranks of the 76ers.
On Tuesday night, the free agent forward inked a lucrative four-year contract with the 76ers, reportedly worth $39 million, as shared by ESPN.
At the age of 29, Wade is turning the page on his tenure with the Cavaliers, where he evolved into a vital asset, renowned for his defensive prowess and shooting skills in the frontcourt. His journey began in Cleveland when he signed a two-way contract with the team back in 2019, having gone undrafted. Over the span of seven seasons, he firmly established himself on their roster.

Remarkably, Wade held the distinction of being the longest-serving player for the Cavaliers.
Leading up to Tuesday, the Cavaliers and Wade were engaged in ongoing discussions, trying to negotiate a fresh agreement ahead of the free agency period, though they ultimately could not reach a consensus.
But by late Tuesday afternoon, it became clear that Wade would hit the free agency market, and now Philly scopped him up on the first day.
NBA insiders Marc Stein and Jake Fischer reported that Philadelphia was expected to be one of several teams interested in acquiring Wade last week.
Wade’s defense made him an important piece of Cleveland’s rotation and allowed him to retain a consistent role there. His 6-foot-9 height and 6-foot-10 wingspan made it difficult for opposing guards and forwards to work around him.
Wade averaged 5.8 points and 4.2 rebounds alongside 1.5 assists per game during the 2025-26 season, shooting 43.9 percent from the field and 36.2 percent from 3-point territory.

Wade started in 14 of the Cavaliers 18 playoff games this past season, where they reached their first Eastern Conference finals in eight years before being swept by the Knicks.
Wade only put up 4.4 points in 22.6 minutes per game in the playoffs, but his defense on stars like Scottie Barnes and Cade Cunningham made him a valuable piece of the Cavs’ run.
His plus-5.0 net rating was the highest among all Cavs players throughout the playoffs.
A Hollywood actress is now facing the possibility of prison for her involvement in aiding a convicted fraudster to escape justice.
Lucinda Jane Weist Manera, aged 63, admitted her guilt on Monday to charges of being an accessory after the fact. Her crime? Assisting her boyfriend, Bernhard Eugen Fritsch, a 64-year-old convicted fraudster, in evading law enforcement. Fritsch had manipulated investors, defrauding them out of a staggering $20 million through his software enterprise.
Known professionally as ‘Lucy Weist,’ Manera’s acting credits include appearances in “Blown Away” and “The Silencers.” Now, she could face up to five years in federal prison. Her charges stem from actions that include concealing Fritsch from the authorities, facilitating his refuge in Mexico, and financially supporting his escape to Germany, his homeland.
The U.S. Department of Justice noted that Manera was fully aware of her boyfriend’s federal wire fraud conviction from April 2025 when she chose to aid him.
Between 2014 and 2017, Fritsch orchestrated a scam that deceived investors through dishonest representations of his company’s financial health and the potential of an app named StarSite. The app, marketed as a tool for celebrities and influencers to profit from brand endorsements, was part of his elaborate deceit.
The fraudster made up a string of false claims to pique investors’ interest, boasting millions in revenue and looming deals with major media companies, including Disney.
He even managed to link celebrities to his company StarClub Inc – actresses Caitlin O’Connor and Elise Neal attended his promotional events, the New York Post reported.
Fritsch said he would use investors’ money to build out StarClub’s channels and technology – but instead used the millions to fund his lavish lifestyle.

The fraudster enriched himself with luxury cars, including a McLaren and a Rolls-Royce, while also upgrading his yacht and renovating his Malibu mansion.
Fritsch was found guilty of wire fraud on April 3, 2025, and his girlfriend was in the courtroom when the verdict was read.
The 64-year-old was free on bond, with a June 2, 2025 hearing set on his potential remand into federal custody.
But on the day of the hearing, the fugitive boyfriend fled the US by car and crossed into Mexico to avoid being thrown behind bars.
From June to September 2025, Manera helped Fritsch evade apprehension and punishment, including lying to FBI agents that she hadn’t spoken to him within a day of his June 2 hearing.
The actress made at least 10 payments between June and September 2025, totaling about $7,475, to a third party, aware that Fritsch was hiding at that person’s home.
The loyal girlfriend also authorized a $534 charge on her bank account to cover Fritsch’s hotel stay in Mexico.

In September 2025, Manera searched the web for information on how Fritsch could leave Mexico and travel to Germany, which generally prohibits extradition of its citizens.
Fritsch was later sentenced in absentia to 15 years in federal prison, fined $35,000, and ordered to pay $26,806,901 in restitution in October 2025.
Authorities are still requesting he surrender. US District Judge Dale S Fischer has set an October 5 sentencing hearing for Manera.
Significant changes are coming to the federal student loan system starting July 1, impacting millions of borrowers across the nation.
These adjustments will result in higher monthly payments for some Americans, particularly those with lower incomes. Additionally, there will be new restrictions on loan amounts for many borrowers.
Currently, about 43 million Americans hold student loan debt, collectively amounting to nearly $1.7 trillion, according to data from the Office of Federal Student Aid, which operates under the Department of Education.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon, whose mandate includes closing the department, has declared that the Trump administration will no longer allow U.S. taxpayers to shoulder debts that do not belong to them.
This sweeping overhaul is part of President Donald Trump’s trademark legislation, the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, introduced last year alongside other executive orders aimed at reforming the Department of Education.
Here’s what borrowers need to know:
Fewer repayment options
Department of Education and education experts are touting the Trump administration’s student loan overhaul as the biggest change to the portfolio in decades.
One of the biggest changes is the end of a Biden-era repayment program called Saving on a Valuable Education or “SAVE.” There are currently about 7 million borrowers enrolled in that program, and now they will have 90 days to switch to a new plan to pay back their student debt.
Experiencing weak legs after reaching 60? Discover how these four wall-based exercises can help rebuild your strength and improve your ability to handle stairs and walking.
>
Yoga offers numerous benefits beyond the age of 60, improving mobility, breathing, and balance while enhancing body awareness. While it’s excellent for easing joint stiffness, restoring leg strength often demands more targeted efforts. Engaging the muscles in your quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves, and hips through movements that mirror daily activities is key to regaining strength and stability.
Wall exercises present an ideal blend of challenge and support. They allow your legs to do the heavy lifting while you lean against the wall for assistance. This setup can make workouts more inviting if balance issues, knee discomfort, or low confidence hinder your performance during conventional lower-body exercises. Also, the wall serves as an excellent tool for immediate feedback on posture, depth, and control, helping refine your technique with less mental effort.
Wall-based lower-body exercises simplify strength training, offering an effective workout without diluting its impact. A simple wall sit can effectively engage your quads, while wall marches increase hip and single-leg control. Wall-supported split squats boost individual leg confidence, and wall hip hinges teach your glutes and hamstrings to better support your lower body. Together, these exercises enhance leg strength, aiding in climbing stairs, walking, standing, and navigating daily activities with increased assurance.
Wall Sits
Wall sits train your quads, glutes, hamstrings, and core while your back stays supported against the wall. Holding the position builds strength and endurance through your legs without requiring repeated squatting. That makes wall sits useful after 60 because your legs have to stay active under tension, which carries over to standing longer, climbing stairs, and lowering yourself into a chair with more control. Compared with yoga, this move gives your legs a more direct strength challenge while still keeping the setup simple.
Slide down the wall until your knees bend comfortably.
Brace your core and keep your back against the wall.
Hold the position while breathing steadily.
Stand back up with control.
Recommended Sets and Reps: Perform 3 sets of 20 to 30 second holds. Rest for 45 seconds between each set.
Best Variations: Higher wall sits, lower wall sits, wall sits with heel raises.
Form Tip: Keep your feet flat and your knees tracking over your toes.
4 Simple Exercises That Strengthen Your Muscles More Than Lunges After 50
Wall Marches
Wall marches target your hip flexors, quads, glutes, calves, and core while providing support as you shift weight from one leg to the other. Each knee lift asks the standing leg to stabilize while the lifted leg moves with control. That single-leg demand helps rebuild strength for walking, stairs, stepping over objects, and staying steady when your weight shifts. The wall provides enough support to move confidently while your legs and hips do the work.
Muscles Trained: Hip flexors, quadriceps, glutes, calves, core.
How to Do It:
Stand facing a wall with your hands lightly placed against it.
Step your feet hip-width apart.
Brace your core and stand tall.
Lift one knee toward your waist.
Lower your foot back to the floor with control.
Alternate legs in a steady rhythm.
Recommended Sets and Reps: Perform 3 sets of 10 to 12 reps per leg. Rest for 30 seconds between each set.
Best Variations: Paused wall marches, slower wall marches, hands-free marches.
Form Tip: Stay tall and avoid leaning your chest into the wall.
Wall-Supported Split Squats
Wall-supported split squats target your quads, glutes, hamstrings, and core while also providing a little balance help. The staggered stance makes your front leg work harder, while the wall keeps the movement from turning into a wobble contest. This helps restore leg strength because each leg gets direct work through a useful range of motion, and your hips have to stay steady as you lower and stand. Stronger split squats carry over to stairs, stepping, walking, and getting up from lower positions.
Stand beside a wall with one hand lightly touching it.
Step one foot forward and one foot back into a split stance.
Brace your core and keep your torso tall.
Lower your back knee toward the floor with control.
Press through your front foot to return to standing.
Complete all reps, then switch sides.
Recommended Sets and Reps: Perform 3 sets of 8 to 10 reps per leg. Rest for 45 seconds between each set.
Best Variations: Shorter stance split squats, split squat holds, and assisted reverse lunges.
Form Tip: Use the wall for balance, not to pull yourself up.
5 Chair Exercises That Restore Knee Strength Faster Than Gym Sessions After 60
Hip Hinge to Wall
The hip hinge to wall trains your glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and core while teaching your hips to move with control. Reaching your hips back toward the wall gives you a clear target, which helps you learn the hinge pattern without guessing. That pattern matters after 60 because bending, lifting, walking uphill, and standing tall all rely on stronger glutes and hamstrings. Yoga can help you move better, but hip hinges give the backs of your legs a more direct role in strength building.
Stand about a foot in front of a wall with your back facing it.
Place your feet hip-width apart.
Brace your core and soften your knees.
Push your hips back toward the wall.
Tap the wall lightly with your hips.
Drive your hips forward to return to standing.
Recommended Sets and Reps: Perform 3 sets of 10 to 12 reps. Rest for 45 seconds between each set.
Best Variations: Bodyweight good mornings, banded good mornings, dumbbell RDLs.
Form Tip: Move through your hips and keep your spine long.
4 Daily Exercises That Make Stairs Feel Easy Again After 60
How to Build Stronger Legs With Wall Support

Wall exercises work best when the wall helps you move better without taking the effort away from your legs. Keep your contact light, slow the reps down, and focus on feeling your quads, glutes, hamstrings, and hips do their share. The wall should give you confidence, not a free ride.
Use holds to build strength: Wall sits and split squat holds keep your legs under tension. That steady effort helps rebuild strength without needing heavy equipment.
Train one-leg control: Wall marches and split squats give each leg its own work. Single-leg control matters for walking, stairs, curbs, and balance.
Strengthen the back of your legs: Hip hinges teach your glutes and hamstrings to support bending and standing. Stronger hips can make your legs feel more powerful and your lower back feel less overworked.
Keep the range comfortable: You don’t need to slide into the deepest wall sit or longest split squat stance on day one. Start where the movement feels clean, then build from there.
Progress gradually: Add a few seconds to holds, add reps, slow the tempo, or reduce the amount of support you use. Small progressions keep the routine productive without making it feel overwhelming.
Wall work gives you a simple way to build leg strength without needing a yoga mat, gym machines, or a complicated routine. Use the support, keep your reps clean, and let your legs earn more strength one controlled set at a time.

The Socceroos have already thrilled millions of fans with their recent performance, securing a 0-0 draw against Paraguay. This result allowed them to advance to the World Cup Round of 32, a milestone achievement that sets the stage for their upcoming clash with Egypt on Saturday. The team is eager to build on their momentum and make further strides in the tournament.
As the team prepares for their match with Egypt, forward Tete Yengi expressed his expectations, highlighting the challenging nature of their next opponents. “Egypt will be an aggressive team, they’ll fight for everything,” Yengi remarked, setting the tone for a highly competitive encounter.
Meanwhile, midfielder Jackson Irvine articulated a broader ambition, suggesting they are primed for a historic run. “We’re ready to do something no Australian team has done before,” he stated confidently.
Irvine reflected on the team’s recent successes, noting, “Two World Cups in a row, two second places showcase the progress we’ve made. But this was our expectation.” His statement underscores the determination within the squad to exceed past achievements.
Determined to etch their names in history, Irvine emphasized the team’s focus on advancing beyond the current stage. “Now we’ve got to go and do something no Australian team has done before and win a knockout game,” he said in an interview with SBS, following their decisive draw with Paraguay. The Socceroos remain committed to raising the bar even higher as they continue their World Cup journey.
Yengi said the team would continue to work hard on the pitch and play a physical game.
“Physically, I think we’re superior to the other teams. So as long as we keep working on that and we show the rest of the game on the ball, we have top-quality players,” he said.
“Everyone on the pitch can hurt teams at any time.”
In Saturday’s knockout match against Egypt, the Socceroos could face Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah, though it’s unclear if he’ll start after coming off against Iran with a hamstring injury on Saturday.
Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush is yet to score but has created dangerous chances for Egypt so far.
Acknowledging the challenges from the two big-name players, the Socceroos’ 18-year-old rising star Lucas Herrington said the team is ready to “make history”.
“We all look forward to the occasion [against Egypt],” the defender said. “It’s now a chance to make history, so now we can’t wait, we are all ready.”
Making his World Cup debut during the Friday match against Paraguay, which he described as “the best moment of my life”, Herrington said he saw the match against Egypt as an opportunity for a young player like him to grow.
“It’s nice to verse players like [Salah and Marmoush], that’s where you want to be, that’s who you want to verse.”
Australia’s World Cup record
The Socceroos made the knockout rounds for a second consecutive World Cup and only the third time ever. The team have only ever won four matches in World Cups, one of these coming against an African side, and none against a South American side.
This year was not the first time the Socceroos would be drawn against the hosts in the group stages. Australia’s first successful journey to the World Cup came in 1974, when they were drawn against hosts West Germany, who defeated the Socceroos in their first-ever World Cup match. They then lost to East Germany, while claiming a draw with Chile.
Australia then had to wait 32 years to qualify again for the World Cup. In 2006, they secured a 3-1 win against Japan, claiming their first-ever goal and win at the tournament. In their second group stage match they lost to Brazil, but a 2-2 draw against Croatia in their final group stage match was enough to send the Socceroos through to the Round of 16.
Their-first ever foray into the knockout stages ended in pain, however, after eventual winners Italy won 1-0 thanks to a controversial penalty.
In the following three World Cup tournaments — in 2010, 2014 and 2018 — Australia failed to advance from the group stage.
During the most recent World Cup — Qatar 2022 — the Socceroos secured two wins in the group stage for the first time, against Tunisia and Denmark. The team lost 4-1 to France, but earned enough points to make it to the Round of 16.
Still, Australia couldn’t get past the hurdle of the fourth match in a tournament, as they were defeated 2-1 by Argentina, the eventual champions, in the Round of 16.
At 4am AEST on Saturday, the Socceroos will be hoping to make history. A first-ever knockout stage will mean reaching the Round of 16 for a second consecutive tournament and playing a fifth match at the World Cup.
Should they beat Egypt at Dallas Stadium inArlington, Texas, they will face either Argentina or debutantes Cape Verde.

Karamo Brown appears to be embarking on a new romantic journey.
The Queer Eye personality hinted at a budding romance with Jussie Smollett, revealing he’s “dating a celebrity.”
During the June 30 episode of the Reality With The King podcast, released shortly after TMZ shared intimate images of the 45-year-old and Smollett, 44, on a hike in Los Angeles, Brown expressed, “It’s not like we’re hiding it. We venture out and hold hands everywhere.”
Although Brown didn’t explicitly name his companion, he is completely convinced he has found the perfect match.
“I’ve met my equal,” the Karamo star enthused. “It’s incredibly empowering to meet someone with whom you feel absolute safety and security, someone you instinctively trust because they are genuinely a wonderful person.”
That’s also why Brown, who previously dated photographer Carlos Medel for nearly four years before their 2025 breakup, is “protecting the love we have”
“I do believe this is going to be my husband,” he shared. “I believe this is going to be my forever person. I feel it every single day.”
During that time, Landry Shamet was striving to recover from a challenging first year with the Knicks. A dislocated shoulder had severely impacted his season, and he found himself often overlooked in Tom Thibodeau’s lineup. However, just 12 games into what would ultimately become the Knicks’ championship season, Shamet turned heads by sinking six 3-pointers and achieving a career-best 36 points in a decisive win over the Heat.
This performance was the first indication that he would soon play a pivotal role off the bench for the title-winning team.
“This is where I wanted to be,” Shamet expressed to The Post back then. “After last year’s remarkable season, with this group, this locker room, this city, and its fans, there was nowhere else I wanted to be, to be honest. I’m thrilled it worked out.”
With the start of free agency on Tuesday—allowing teams to officially commence negotiations with other free agents at 6 p.m., and initiate discussions with their own free agents immediately after the Finals—uncertainty still loomed over the futures of Mitchell Robinson and Jordan Clarkson. Meanwhile, the Knicks had already acted swiftly to re-sign Shamet, along with Jose Alvarado and Mohamed Diawara, bolstering the core of crucial bench players from their victorious championship campaign.
Entering free agency, Shamet and Robinson were the two biggest question marks surrounding the Knicks. Owner James Dolan’s on-the-record desire to stay under the second apron meant it would be nearly impossible to bring back both and fulfill his wishes.
Shamet was likely to be the cheaper option, and the Knicks quickly secured his future with what they intend to be a four-year, $24 million deal.

Now, going back to Nov. 12. Across the next seven-plus months, Shamet’s entire career trajectory would change.
Before that breakout against the Heat, he was barely hanging on in the league. He signed a nonguaranteed, veteran minimum deal to return for a second year with the Knicks. It wasn’t even guaranteed he would make the roster out of training camp — Malcolm Brogdon’s unexpected retirement paved the way for his spot.
And just three games later, Shamet dislocated his shoulder, the same one on his right, shooting side, as the year prior in a game against the Magic. He had a decision: Undergo surgery, which would have ended his season, or try to rehab it and return later in the year. The latter option required trust in the Knicks, who could have simply cut him and his nonguaranteed contract and signed someone who could come in and play right away.
Shamet and the Knicks agreed that he’d rehab it with the goal of returning later in the year, a prescient sign of faith between the two sides.
It wasn’t until Jan. 15 that he returned. But across the next 36 games, he averaged 9.3 points on 38.1 percent shooting from 3-point range, cementing himself as an important part of the rotation.
But his shooting waned down the stretch of the postseason, and he went just 2-for-8 across the first five games of the first round of the playoffs. He had effectively been replaced in coach Mike Brown’s rotation by Jose Alvarado. All of a sudden, Shamet was on the outside looking in.
No problem. He didn’t complain or waver. He just waited for another opportunity.
Across the final 14 postseason games, he shot 50.9 percent from deep. His game-tying trey down the stretch of the epic comeback in Game 1 of the conference finals will live in Knicks lore.
And, now, he returns to the team he won his first championship with. He wanted to return to the Knicks even after a rough first season. He maintained that belief during an injury that threw his future in doubt.
Even now, he probably could have gotten more money elsewhere.
But the Knicks — and their faith in him — rejuvenated his career. He played a pivotal role in their title.
“Knicks fans are a specific species of human that should be studied,” Shamet said. “They’re crazy. They’re crazy. … Everywhere you walk in the city, that’s what you hear. The buzz is unbelievable. You could try and explain what’s going on in New York right now for Knicks fans but good luck. It’s different. Knicks fans are different.”
This relationship itself is different. And this marriage is set to continue.
