US media opened the day heavily focused on President Trump's "megabill," as it advanced through the House Rules Committee towards a floor vote. Coverage detailed internal GOP divisions and the bill's significant implications, particularly for healthcare access. By early afternoon, the narrative shifted dramatically with the breaking news of the Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial verdict. Reports confirmed his acquittal on the severe charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, though he was convicted on prostitution-related offenses. Later in the evening, the judge denied Combs bail, ensuring his continued detention. Concurrently, Bryan Kohberger's guilty plea in the Idaho student murders emerged as a prominent story. Immigration issues, including a surge in ICE arrests and a federal judge blocking Trump's asylum order, also continued to draw attention throughout the day. Separately, Paramount settled Trump's "60 Minutes" lawsuit for $16 million.
