Duhhh-nuh 🦈 Happy Friday!🙋🏼♀️ I'm Nicole Fallert. Today, Daily Briefing features a special guest! Let's close out the week with Friday's news: Even if you haven't seen it recently, you know 'Jaws' Hello! I'm Brian Truitt, USA TODAY movie critic and the guy behind the Watch Party newsletter. It's a big weekend for film lovers because Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" is turning 50, and from the infamous John Williams two-note musical theme to some gnarly shark attacks, it still holds up so many decades later. We're diving all in on that killer fish flick, with shark movie rankings, a look at the "Jaws" legacy and a rundown of the best summer blockbusters since 1975. 🦈 Here's why we never got over "Jaws." Should US go to war with Iran or support Israel from afar? President Donald Trump said there was a "substantial chance" of U.S. negotiations with Iran and that he would decide within two weeks whether diplomacy keeps America out of the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. The possibility of direct U.S. involvement is a growing debate among elected leaders and American voters. Some in the Republican Party want limited involvement in the escalating conflict. Meanwhile, elected leaders from both parties are hoping to stop an all-out war. More news to know now What's the weather today? Check your local forecast here. Dodger Stadium becomes a ICE flashpoint The Los Angeles Dodgers say Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were denied entry to the stadium grounds – while ICE says the agency was "never there" and the Department of Homeland Security claims the masked agents were with Customs and Border Patrol. The Dodgers were supposed to make an announcement about their "plans for assistance to immigrant communities" but club president Stan Kasten said the organization would be delaying an announcement after the federal agents showed up. The delay comes after protesters showed up at Dodger Stadium. Mega rocket explodes another SpaceX setback In what the company called "a major anomaly," SpaceX's Starship exploded late Wednesday, shooting a massive fireball and giant debris into the Texas night sky. The explosion is not the first for SpaceX and comes on the heels of a string of set backs for the 400-foot rocket system this year. Founder Elon Musk said via social media no hazards are posed to residents in the communities surrounding Brownsville, and initial inspection suggest the incident "is the first time ever for this design." The last Starship explosion was less than a month ago. Today's talkers The longest day of 2025 is here Summer has not even officially begun. The summer solstice will occur Friday at 10:42 p.m. ET and will be both the longest day and shortest night of 2025 in the Northern Hemisphere, according to the National Weather Service. Meanwhile, the Southern Hemisphere will greet winter with its winter solstice. During the summer solstice, the tilt brings the Earth's northernmost point closer to the sun, resulting in more sunlight. The solstice itself only lasts moments, but is widely celebrated with festivals. Here's where you can snag solstice deals and free food to celebrate.

Minnesota assassination suspect to appear in court after arrest: Live updates
Minnesota assassination suspect to appear in court after arrest: Live updates Show Caption Hide Caption Authorities arrest suspected Minnesota lawmakers shooter Police caught Vance Luther Boelter, the man accused of killing Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and wounding a state senator and his wife. The suspect accused of fatally shooting a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another has been charged with multiple counts of murder after authorities took him into custody, ending the largest manhunt in the state's history, authorities said. Vance Luther Boelter, 57, was arrested Sunday night in rural Sibley County, about 50 miles away from Minneapolis, after he surrendered to law enforcement in a wooded area near his home. Boelter is accused of launching what Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called a "politically motivated assassination." Police say he posed as a law enforcement officer on June 14 and fatally shot state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their home in Brooklyn Park. He also shot and wounded State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, at their home. After a two-day manhunt that put the entire state on edge, Boelter was charged with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree attempted murder, according to a criminal complaint filed in Hennepin County reviewed by USA TODAY. A court appearance is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. local time, jail records say. "One man's unthinkable actions have altered the state of Minnesota," Walz said at a news conference announcing Boelter's arrest. Boelter remains in custody after he was booked into the Hennepin County Jail on Monday, June 16, around 1 a.m., according to jail records. While he is currently charged with four counts of murder and attempted murder, he may face additional charges in connection with the shootings. The U.S. Attorney's Office is reviewing whether Boelter will face federal charges, Drew Evans, the superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, said at a news conference. Authorities on June 15 discovered a vehicle belonging to Boelter near where he lived in Sibley County. A law enforcement officer reported he believed he saw Boelter running in the woods. Police later received another tip that a man was seen running in the area. Authorities set up a large perimeter and over 20 SWAT teams began searching on the ground and by helicopter. Lt. Col. Jeremy Geiger of the Minnesota State Patrol said Boelter eventually crawled out to law enforcement and was arrested. He was armed but no shots were fired, Geiger said.

Just after 2 a.m. on Saturday, June 14, police received a call from Hoffman's adult daughter reporting that 'a masked person had come to their door and then shot their parents," according to the Hennepin County complaint. Law enforcement arrived at the home in Champlin, about 20 miles outside Minneapolis, and discovered Jeff and Yvette Hoffman with multiple gunshot wounds. After learning that the Champlin shooting involved a lawmaker, the Brooklyn Park Police Department proactively sent patrol officers to the Hortmans' home around 3:30 a.m. There officers saw a Ford SUV with police-style lights. They then spotted Boelter as he shot Mark Hortman through the open door of the home, the complaint said. Police opened fire and Boelter shot back before he fled out the rear of the home into a wooded area. Inside the vehicle, investigators found three AK-47 rifles, a handgun as well as a list of names and addresses of other public officials. Brooklyn Park police Chief Mark Bruley said at a news conference that the search for Boelter was the largest manhunt in state history. "This was a very dangerous individual for our community and that's why so many resources and such a great collaboration came together to focus on removing him from society," Bruley said, adding that focus has now turned to putting together a case against Boelter. "Now begins the hard work of looking at what the motive is," Bruley said. Sibley County is located in south-central Minnesota and is about 50 miles away from Minneapolis. The massive manhunt focused on Sibley County because Boelter has a residence just outside Green Isle, a small community with a population of about 520, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. It was in a wooded area near his Green Isle residence where Boelter surrendered to law enforcement officers, officials said. Contributing: Reuters
