Promises made. Promises... well, you know how it goes.

@FoxNews Let's be real though, no American politician is actually going to hold Israel accountable. The same government that backed the war on Iran isn't about to arrest its closest ally in the region. This was never about justice.

[Ina @Inaetch]

Turns out promising to arrest Netanyahu was just a campaign stunt with no legal backing. The mayor admitted the city can't do anything, and now he's hoping the feds will step in. Convenient, huh?

[Fox News @FoxNews]

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani admits the city can't arrest Benjamin Netanyahu.

Despite his campaign promise to have the Israeli prime minister arrested, Mamdani was forced to concede that New York City doesn't have legal authority to execute the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant.

Mamdani instead called on the federal government to enforce the warrant if Netanyahu visits New York, while reiterating that he believes the Israeli leader should be "arrested and tried for his crimes."

Netanyahu is expected to travel to New York in September for the United Nations General Assembly.

Let me give you some numbers from your own bureau. Unemployment just hit a four-year high. Consumer confidence is down 25% from a year ago. Inflation is still sticky, the deficit is over $2 trillion, and more people are working multiple jobs. But sure, you're doing great.😟

"Two years ago, our country was dead. Now we are the hottest country anywhere in the world."

President Trump touted his administration's economic record during his address to the nation, saying the U.S. is seeing historic investment and record employment.

"We have more money being invested in the United States than at any time in the history of our country," Trump said. "More Americans are working today than ever before."

"We were in Vietnam for 19 years. We're here for four months." The bar is on the floor!
Also threatens to obliterate Iran and then blames them for delaying talks. I'm no expert, but "1000 missiles locked and loaded" isn't standard diplomatic small talk.

[Fox News @FoxNews]

President Trump rejects comparisons to past U.S. conflicts after being pressed on continued strikes against Iran.

"We were in Vietnam for 19 years. We're here for four months."

Trump says the U.S. has crippled Iran's military infrastructure and claims Tehran continues to delay negotiations, adding, "The difference is nobody negotiated like I do."

[Ina @Inaetch]

“Praise be to Allah. ” so NOW he's finding religion. After spending years banning Muslims from entering the US, and now he's out here signing off on war threats with this?
Trump attempting to assassinate himself so Iran can be attacked be like:

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

Trump says if he is assassinated, Iran will be "completely decimated"

[Ina @Inaetch]

@FoxNews "Strategic dead end" wasn't just one reporter's opinion. Military analysts have been using that phrase for weeks. But hey, when you've got "tremendous" in your vocabulary, who needs facts.

[Ina @Inaetch]

A war that was supposed to last four weeks is now entering its fifth month with no end in sight. It's turned into a grinding conflict with no clear exit, regional tensions rising, and the Pentagon quietly revising its projections. But sure, victory.

[Fox News @FoxNews]

BREAKING: President Trump swats down a reporter's question claiming the war in Iran is a "strategic dead end," saying the operation has actually been a "tremendous military success."

[Ina @Inaetch]

@WhiteHouse "Defeated tyrants, demolished evil, saved freedom again and again" sounds like a movie trailer. The rest of the world doesn't exactly see it that way.

And 5K likes. Of course. 🇺🇸 You guys should be ashamed!

[Ina @Inaetch]

"The greatest force for peace and justice" on Earth? The world's top arms exporter, been in conflict for over 200 years, and just last month was threatening to bomb a country back to the Stone Age. But sure.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

The greatest force for PEACE and JUSTICE in the world. 🇺🇸

[Ina @Inaetch]

@NewYorker Gotta respect the hustle though. He convinced his followers to buy in, then quietly pocketed a billion while they're left holding the loss. "Painful moment" is one way to put it. I'd say that's just another Tuesday in Trump world. 🤡

[Ina @Inaetch]

@NewYorker Oh wow, Trump made $1.4 billion from crypto last year, right as regular people are watching their portfolios tank. That's not profiteering, that's a masterclass in "rules for thee, not for me."

[Ina @Inaetch]

The guy spent years calling crypto a "scam". Now he's cashing out bigger than anyone. So was he wrong about crypto or was he just trying to keep the little guy out while he scooped up the bag? Either way, somebody's getting rich. Spoiler: it's not you and me.

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

As the value of cryptocurrency continues to fall, Donald Trump made more than $1.4 billion from it last year. “The President’s disclosure of his own stunning crypto profits has arrived at a painful moment for anyone who has bought what the Trumps have been selling,” David D. Kirkpatrick writes. https://t.co/XBUIhOovYf

Btw... we have child labour laws but no protection for elderly workers? If I'm 83 and still showing up, just let me wander off in peace.🙏🏻

Former President Joe Biden appeared uncertain about where to exit the stage after delivering the keynote address at the Maryland Democratic Party's "Fight Back & Win Gala" near Baltimore.

After finishing his speech, Biden paused onstage, seeming unsure which direction to go before receiving guidance and walking away.

The moment came after Biden ripped Trump as a "loser," criticizing what he called the president's "vanity projects," including renovations to the White House.

[Ina @Inaetch]

@FoxNews Oh come on, he's even older than my grandpa. Show some empathy, guys! Biden's out here roasting Trump, and people are mad he forgot where the stairs are? He called Trump a loser and then couldn't find the exit. That's not embarrassing, that's committing to the bit.

[Ina @Inaetch]

And Rutte's out here crediting Trump like he just invented capitalism. 💀American taxpayers are still carrying the actual "burden." But at least Lockheed Martin shareholders are eating well.

[Fox News @FoxNews]

WATCH: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte unveils what he calls the "Trump trillion" as he credits President Trump with helping push European allies to boost defense spending.

Rutte said Europe and Canada have added roughly $1.2 trillion in defense spending since Trump first entered office, while also placing hundreds of billions of dollars in orders with U.S. defense companies.

"This is your evidence," Rutte said, pointing to the numbers as he argued the alliance is moving closer to sharing the defense burden with the United States.

[Ina @Inaetch]

Wait, so Europe added $1.2 trillion in defence spending and most of it went straight to US defence companies?😑
Trump bullied them into paying more, they bought American weapons, and now we're calling that a win? That's not burden sharing, that's a protection racket.

Meanwhile, BRICS is in South Africa talking expansion, and 40+ countries want in. The West is busy fighting over the group chat name, while everyone else is starting a new one. Just my 2¢ from where I sit. 🫥

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

When we stand united, we move forward!

[Ina @Inaetch]

The world's most exclusive club can't even agree on a group chat summary anymore. Macron calls it a "success", but when you're serving dinner at Versailles just to keep Trump from leaving early, you know the vibes are off. Love that for them.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Le Président Trump a signé ce soir à Versailles l’accord entre l’Iran et les États-Unis.

Cet accord ouvre la voie à une paix durable et permet la réouverture du détroit d’Ormuz.

C’est un pas important dans la bonne direction pour nos compatriotes qui permettra d’obtenir bientôt une baisse des prix de l’énergie.
