Now, a quick update on the midterms.

Yesterday, House Republicans gathered at one of President Trump's golf clubs near Miami for their annual policy retreat to strategize on what legislation they can focus on ahead of November.

Some are in tight races, and polls suggest the GOP's chances of keeping control of the House are slimming.

Facing that reality, a big thing they want to tackle is economic issues, something top of mind for voters.

But Trump is complicating that.

In a speech to lawmakers, Trump threatened that he won't sign any measures into law unless Congress passes strict voting restrictions first.

He's pushing for not just the Save America Act, which deals with voter ID and is stalled in the Senate, but also for limits on mail-in voting.

In the Senate, Majority Leader John Thune acknowledged the president's threat is hovering over their work, saying his party hoped to get some measures through, quote, but that's a question I think probably for him.

Authorities have filed federal charges against two men accused of trying to detonate homemade bombs at a protest near the mayor's residence.

According to a criminal complaint, the men told police they had been inspired by ISIS.

After being arrested, one said he had pledged allegiance to the group.

Three deaths.

The attempted attack unfolded on Saturday when police say the two men drove from Pennsylvania to New York, where far-right protesters had gathered for an anti-Muslim rally outside Gracie Mansion, where Mayor Zoran Mamdani lives.

Videos and photos from the scene show one of the men lighting a makeshift bomb, then hurling it into the crowd of people.

A second, similar device was dropped near police officers.

Neither exploded, and both men were quickly arrested.

Authorities have increased security in New York ever since the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran over concerns of retaliatory terror attacks.

While ISIS has seen its power diminish over the past decade, counterterrorism experts say it still has influence, especially in radicalizing younger men online to carry out attacks around the world.

The suspects in this case are 18 and 19 years old, and one told police he had watched ISIS propaganda on his phone.
