College graduates are up against a number of forces as they navigate the current job market—AI being chief among them. As companies cut entry-level jobs and cite AI adoption to justify layoffs, new entrants to the workforce have found themselves in an especially precarious position. By the end of 2025, unemployment among young college graduates had soared to 5.6%.

The weeklong event is dubbed “Seven Days in June: Health Is Primary.”

GOP senators who revolted against the settlement before leaving for a Memorial Day recess two weeks ago say they want more information from the administration about the future of the fund, which could potentially go to Trump supporters who beat police and attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

President Donald Trump tried to create a near $1.8 billion fund that could be funneled to his supporters as a means of settling a lawsuit he filed against his own government — even arguing that he “gave up a lot of money in allowing” it.

After drawing outcry in Congress and the courts, however, the White House is reconsidering the fund. That potentially means the suit — and the possibility that the president could still cash in — might be back on.
