Trump denies conflict of interest over crypto. And, Vatican excommunicates rebel group

President Trump's financial disclosures reveal that he and his family earned more than $1 billion through cryptocurrency ventures and other businesses last year, according to a 927-page report filed with the Office of Government Ethics. The report shows that more than $500 million came from the cryptocurrency venture "World Liberty Financial," which was co-founded by Trump family members. The sale of souvenir "meme" coins featuring Trump's image generated more than $600 million. Other income included more than $50 million from settlements with media companies and millions in profits from Trump-branded products like Bibles, sneakers and watches. These earnings, which have outpaced his real estate business, have sparked concerns about potential conflicts of interest. The White House released a statement denying any conflicts of interest, and spokesperson Anna Kelly applauded Trump for making the U.S. "the crypto capital of the world."

The Vatican this morning formalized the excommunications of the bishops and priests of the conservative group known as the Society of St. Pius X, declaring that it has entered schism and broken communion with the pope and the Catholic Church. The group, known as SSPX, celebrates the traditional Latin Mass and opposes some modern church reforms. In the Catholic Church, the appointment of new bishops is the responsibility of the pope. But yesterday, the group defied Pope Leo XIV by consecrating four bishops without his approval. The Society framed its actions as a defense of Catholic tradition. During the ceremony, the Rev. Davide Pagliarani, head of the Society of St. Pius X, described the consecrations as an act of service rather than rebellion. Two of the excommunicated men teach in the U.S., where the group's membership has been growing, according to the society.

A little over a week has passed since rare double earthquakes struck Venezuela. Thousands of people are feared dead as the official death toll continues to rise and hope diminishes for finding survivors in the rubble. Yesterday, the number of people killed by the quakes reached 2,295, and more than 11,200 people were injured, said Jorge Rodríguez, the president of Venezuela's National Assembly. Tens of thousands of people remain unaccounted for. The number of people left homeless could be staggering. An analysis of satellite data by Corey Scher and Jamon Van Den Hoek from Oregon State University estimated that 58,870 buildings were likely damaged or destroyed by the earthquakes. The U.N.'s International Organization for Migration has reported that up to 6.8 million people could be affected by the disaster, needing shelter, water, sanitation, healthcare and other relief items. Here are the most significant developments since the tragedy occurred.

The U.S. men's national team defeated Bosnia-Herzegovina 2-0, marking its first FIFA World Cup knockout round victory since 2002. With this win, the U.S. advances to the Round of 16, where it will face Belgium on July 6. The team will have to play without U.S. forward Folarin Balogun, who will be suspended after receiving a red card for a cleat-first challenge on Bosnian defender Tarik Muharemović. Balogun has scored three goals in three World Cup matches, including the first goal of yesterday's game. Balogun is currently the top goalscorer for the U.S. team in the 2026 World Cup.

Children with autism are 160 times more likely to die from drowning compared to their peers, according to a 2017 study from Columbia University. This is largely because about half of autistic children have a tendency to wander away from safe environments. That fact, combined with an attraction to water, can be very dangerous. High-quality swim lessons can be a vital preventative measure to combat this issue. Florida, which has one of the highest childhood drowning rates in the nation, expanded a voucher program this month that puts children ages 1-7 who have autism at the front of the line for subsidized swim lessons. The YMCA of South Florida's low-cost Swim Buddies program is one of the largest programs specifically designed for children with disabilities in the area. One of its key features is its focus on individualization and one-on-one instruction, rather than traditional group lessons. Staff members assess each child's needs and tailor the lessons accordingly. Take a look at how this program is helping children with autism.
