JUST IN: White House announces release of Marc Fogel, an American detained by Russia.
White House Statement:
"Today, President Donald J. Trump and his Special Envoy Steve Witkoff are able to announce that Mr. Witkoff is leaving Russian airspace with Marc Fogel, an American who was detained by Russia. President Trump, Steve Witkoff and the President’s advisors negotiated an exchange that serves as a show of good faith from the Russians and a sign we are moving in the right direction to end the brutal and terrible war in Ukraine. Since President Trump’s swearing-in, he has successfully secured the release of Americans detained around the world, and President Trump will continue until all Americans being held are returned to the United States. By tonight, Marc Fogel will be on American soil and reunited with his family and loved ones thanks to President Trump’s leadership."

In his comments about the vast federal bureaucracy, @elonmusk mentions an underground mine where the paperwork of federal employee retirees is stored. It's true! It's in Pennsyvania. @Fahrenthold did a great story about it back in 2014:
TRUMP on this morning’s developments between Israel and Iran: “We have two countries that have been fighting for so long, that don't know what the f**k they're doing. You understand that?”
A historic first: President Trump is staying at the Dutch Palace tonight per the King’s invitation, a first for an American president.

THE CEASEFIRE NEARLY COLLAPSED, IRAN’S NUKE PROGRAM MAY NOT BE DONE: But the president is set for a big win at the @NATO Summit. Our @CBSEveningNews report from The Hague.
President Trump is meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy at the @nato Summit, but in a closed press setting.
I had a good meeting with @POTUS in The Hague.
I congratulated President Trump on the successful operation in the Middle East. It is important that the U.S. actions have weakened not only their nuclear program but also their drone production capabilities. We will continue to keep an eye on the situation.
We discussed the protection of our people with the President — first and foremost, the purchase of American air defense systems to shield our cities, our people, churches, and infrastructure. Ukraine is ready to buy this equipment and support American weapons manufacturers. Europe can help. We also discussed the potential for co-production of drones. We can strengthen each other.

I also informed the President about how the technical team’s meetings in Istanbul went, as well as the exchanges of prisoners and the fallen. Russia handed over the bodies of its own troops. Forensic examinations are currently being carried out in Kyiv to identify their relatives.
We talked about the situation on the battlefield. Putin is definitely not winning. I presented the President with the facts about what is really happening on the ground.
Thank you for the meeting and your support. I’m also grateful for the truly kind words about our people. We will keep working.

President Trump is at the @NATO Summit and the White House is set to tout a big new military spending commitment by member nations. Part of my conversation with @lucyhockings on @cbsnews partner @BBCNews live from The Hague.

This has been a very big concern of many in the West, and notably, many conservatives who are also conservationists. And there’s the concerns about who’d be buying the land. So, a notable decision here by @SenMikeLee to withdraw his long-sought sale of some federal lands.
Chiming in from vacation with a big THANK YOU to the congressional press corps for long hours during a hot holiday week. And a special shoutout to those reading the bill closely in order to better explain the real-world implications to viewers, readers and listeners eager to know much more about what the White House and Congress are preparing to pass.
