President Trump is calling for the surrender of Iran. As NPR's Franco Ordonez reports, Trump calls Iran's supreme leader an easy target who's safe for now. President Trump took to social media where he's calling for the unconditional surrender from Iran in its conflict with Israel, which is entering its fifth day of exchanging strikes. Trump said, quote, we have now total and complete control of the skies over Iran,
In another post, he said the U.S. knows exactly where the Supreme Leader is. Quote, we're not going to take him out, at least for now, but we don't want missiles shot at civilians or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Franco Ordonez, NPR News, the White House. California U.S. Senator Alex Padilla is urging Americans to stage peaceful resistance to the Trump administration's policies.
Speaking on the Senate floor Tuesday, Padilla recalled his detention last week while trying to question the head of Homeland Security. We know that the cameras are not on in every corner of the country. But if this administration is this afraid of just one senator with a question,

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested at an immigration court on Tuesday. Lander, who's running for mayor, says he was there to observe immigration hearings and to escort some of the defendants from the building. He was accused of obstruction and taken into custody after locking arms with an immigrant and demanding to see a judicial warrant.
The National Weather Service has issued its first-ever heat advisory for Alaska, where temperatures are forecast to remain in the mid-80s for the next several days. Shelby Herbert of member station KUAC has the story. Unlike extreme cold, it's not easy for people in Alaska's interior to manage unusually hot weather.

Staff at the local animal shelter are pro-offering kiddie pools and peanut butter popsicles for the pups. The state is warming two to three times faster than the global average, and the summer heat beats down on the many buildings in the region that don't have air conditioning. It's a one-two punch, according to meteorologist Jason Laney. It also tends to kind of build in with the same time as wildfire season. The heat is coupled with smoke pouring in from wildfires in Canada, so many Fairbanksians can't even crack open a window for relief.
