This is Trump donor and Mar-a-Lago neighbor John Cafaro who got the no-bid contract to install a water purification system for the reflecting pool. He has 2 prior convictions, one for bribing a member of Congress and another for an illegal loan that violated campaign finance laws.

IRGC on maritime radio channel 16:

"Given that the withdrawal of Israel from Lebanon, the complete lifting of the naval blockade, and the departure of American terrorist forces from the Persian Gulf and the region are core conditions for an agreement between Iran and the United States, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until these two conditions are met. All vessels are hereby instructed to avoid approaching the Strait of Hormuz for their own safety and security. Any vessel that disregards this order will be targeted."

For the last 13 years, the Bush Center has proudly carried the flag as the “new kid on the presidential center block.” Today, the @BarackObama Presidential Center takes on that role. On behalf of all of us at the Bush Center, congratulations to the @ObamaFoundation team. Take it from us: once the pomp and circumstance of opening passes, the real fun begins: serving the American people and guests from around the world. We’ll be cheering you on from Dallas!

But I was told the reflecting pool is longer than the Empire State Building is tall. None of the stupid presidents knew this. This is all Biden’s fault.

A brand new bridge between Detroit and Canada is finished and ready to open. It would speed up traffic for millions of trucks, cut delays for American businesses, and help the auto industry that employs people in every state. There is just one problem.

Donald Trump won’t let it open.

Here is why.

The family that owns the old bridge stands to lose business when the new one opens. So in January, they gave one million dollars to a pro-Trump super PAC.

Weeks later they met with Trump’s Commerce Secretary.

He called Trump.

Hours after that, Trump announced he would block the new bridge. The opening was set for June 12. It got canceled the day before. The bridge sits there finished and empty.

Now here is the part that should make every taxpayer angry.

Canada paid for the entire bridge.

Every dollar. And the United States already owns half of it for free. Trump is holding up a bridge we got for nothing, to protect a donor who wrote him a check, while picking a fight with our closest ally and biggest trading partner.

This is corruption in plain sight.

A billionaire pays, and the President delivers. American workers and businesses pay the price.

Open the bridge. A government should work for the people, not for whoever writes the biggest check.

PabloReports: What do you think about the Iran deal?

Booker: Trump said his goal was unconditional surrender. I just didn’t realize that the unconditional surrender he was talking about was America’s. He’s betrayed the United States. We don’t get a $300 billion reconstruction fund. This is an unmitigated disaster.

BREAKING: Supreme Court unanimously strikes down federal gun ban for 'habitual' marijuana users, the same law that was used to prosecute Hunter Biden

[Moe Davis (U.S. Air Force, Retired) @ColMoeDavis]

Trump was able to quickly put together $300 billion in recovery money for Iran after he decided to bomb it.

He stood in Swannanoa NC not far from my house in October 2024 and said he’d build back bigger, better, more beautiful, and faster than Biden after Hurricane Helene inflicted $60 billion in damage in the Blue Ridge . . . and then he went MIA.

Imagine if @realDonaldTrump cared as much about rebuilding Western North Carolina for Americans as he does about rebuilding Iran for Iranians.

Holy shit!! There are huge chunks of blue paint coming off the reflecting pool already…
It seems the peroxide loosened things up, yikes!!

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

And under the treaty they signed at Versailles in 1919, the Germans paid less to the Allies in constant dollars than Trump agreed to pay Iran in the surrender instrument he signed there yesterday.

You can see the math here:
