The Trump admin has already authorized almost $20 billion for Iran—before a final deal is signed.
If a deal is reached, Iran could receive nearly $500 billion. All to end the war Trump started.

The SAVE Act would require people to show proof of citizenship that matches their current legal name - documents like a passport or a birth certificate.
Only 39.7% of Michiganders hold a passport.
Over 2.2 million married women in Michigan changed their surnames.
The SAVE Act could disenfranchise MILLIONS in our state. But that's what the president wants. Housing crisis be damned.
Ossoff: Let's be very clear about what the president is saying to the American people. The president is saying that he will not sign a bill whose purpose is to make housing affordable unless his allies in congress pass a voter suppression bill to rig the election. He is saying, I won't even sign a bill that will give economic relief to Americans unless the rules of this election are changed so that he, Donald Trump, cannot be held accountable for all of his misdeeds because that's what he really fears most of all is that when there is a change in the balance of power, and when we restore checks and balances, he knows that there will be subpoenas flying that officials from his administration will be testifying under oath about the full range of misconduct and corruption that we already know has been happening since the moment he was sworn in.
Americans are getting squeezed right now. They are no longer able to save much, if at all.
The personal savings rate has dipped to 3%
This is one of the lowest readings in the past 15 years.
Personal savings rate May 2025: 4.9%
Personal savings rate May 2026: 3%
There's been a downward trend for awhile, though it's been especially sharp for the past year.
@RepBaumgartner You and your predecessor won many times with mail in ballots that have to be post marked by election day. There is no reason to believe that your election was flawed. You have no evidence of voter fraud at all. This is totally made up and you know it.
🇺🇸 OUCH! PCE inflation just smashed past 4.1% in May.
First time over 4% in 3 years.
Prices are climbing faster, energy is spiking, and the pain at the pump is real.
This will hit your wallet hard.
Fed expected to crush inflation... but how’s that working out?

"You can't even do the basic facts!" -- Here's the full footage of Elizabeth Warren dismantling Christopher Phelan, Trump's nominee to be chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, by asking him basic factual questions about the state of the economy that Phelan refuses to answer because they make Trump look bad
Sen. Tillis on Bill Pulte’s mass firings: “My guess is, based on his past experience, it's just going to be another hot-steamy pile of DOGE shit.”
“I think he's an incompetent sycophant and not the right person to lead DNI, and you're undermining” the next DNI
It's actually mind-boggling that @JDVance would say Watergate would be a "10 hour story" today.
Just to review, Nixon's aides authorized a break-in of the DNC HQ to install bugging equipment--in a caper foiled by a night watchman, who called police. They then enlisted the CIA to mislead the FBI that the break-in was related to a probe of malign foreign actors.
The entire operation was paid for by a slush fund controlled by the WH.
The WH also enlisted the IRS to probe hundreds of Nixon's political enemies.
The AG, the WH COS and several other top aides all were convicted and served time for their involvement in the crimes and coverup.
Nixon was caught on his own secret tape system conspiring with them but was pardoned a month after he resigned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
That Vance thinks this would be a "10 hour story" today speaks volumes about the moral and ethical degradation of the Trump era.
Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.
@RepBaumgartner Remember that this deal is no where as good as we had with Obama, and we are giving them hundreds of billions of dollars. And, they still control the straight of Hormuz.
