ICYMI — Trump admits he was manipulating the stock market with fake news about Iran

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Israel has launched a new overnight ground advance into southern Lebanon with Hezbollah forces engaging Israeli troops directly at zero distance, destroying 4 Israeli military vehicles and downing helicopters during evacuation flights. This follows 20+ Israeli airstrikes that leveled residential buildings and killed at least 18 people, including entire families, in the heaviest assault since the ceasefire, per Al Jazeera.

Over this violation of the Iran-US MOU's first clause, Iran has suspended negotiations with the US and the Switzerland trip, with VP Vance also cancelling his trip in response.

Iran now says it will not unilaterally implement any MOU commitments until the U.S. does the same and attacks in Lebanon permanently stop, per Fars.

BREAKING:

Israel is dropping bombs on civilian areas across multiple villages in South Lebanon — in the middle of the night.

Deliberately striking civilian homes while families are asleep.

Israel has already violated the “ceasefire” over 100 times in just a few days.

History in the Canyon 🗽

After a grueling 53-year drought, the New York Knicks are officially bringing the Larry O'Brien trophy back home. Lower Manhattan is at a complete standstill today as millions of fans pack Broadway for the first-ever ticker-tape parade in franchise history. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani just handed the team the Keys to the City, cementing this squad forever in New York lore 🏆🏀

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran has suspended its entire 60-day negotiation period with the US over the direct violation of the MOU's first clause, with Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon constituting a breach less than 24 hours after the MOU was electronically signed, per Fars and Al-Mayadeen.

Iran's negotiating delegation had already been preparing to depart for Switzerland to launch the first round of talks before Iran made the decision to suspend the entire trip.

Iran will also not unilaterally fulfill its commitments, and until Iran is fully assured Israeli attacks on Lebanon have stopped and the US has practically adhered to the first-clause obligations, talks remain cancelled.

A very dangerous new nightmare we are living in Gaza City, and no one in the world is paying attention to it.

Days ago, the Israeli army installed huge military cranes, each about 30 meters tall, on the eastern areas it controls. These cranes are equipped with machine guns and cameras, and they fire randomly and almost continuously at tents, streets, and exposed neighborhoods.

Gaza City is extremely narrow, only 10 kilometers wide. A single crane at that height is enough to expose the entire city from east to west. Every street, every square, every tent, every house has become completely exposed. There is no place to hide, and not a single moment of safety.

In just the past two days, three people were killed by fire from these cranes. One of them was sitting quietly with his father in a small café, trying to breathe for a few minutes. Hours later, a 5year old girl was killed while playing near her home.

These cranes have turned the entire city into an open field. The latest military technologies are directed at civilians. We have become an open testing ground for their new weapons. The horror is not just in the sound… it is the constant feeling of being an exposed target at all times, where even children cannot run in the street without fear.

What a rotten deal we made with Iran. We get nothing (except laughter at our stupidity). They get everything, including delay and big cash!

MS NOW EXCLUSIVE:

Kash Patel may have a 'personal slush fund' of taxpayer dollars to pay loyalist agents, according to Rep. Jamie Raskin.

Raskin is demanding documents from Patel — citing claims that $8,000 payments are made to agents who carry out "unlawful partisan and personal orders." https://t.co/ZOU8iRxj2u

Stephen Miller wants to flip a switch and erase one of your oldest rights.

It’s called habeas corpus.

Fancy words but a simple idea that the government can’t just grab you and lock you away. It has to prove to a judge why you’re behind bars. That right is 800 years old.

It’s older than America itself.

And Miller tried to kill it.

New reporting confirms it. Inside the White House, Miller pushed to suspend habeas corpus so agents could seize people, detain them, and deport them with no judge, no hearing, no chance to say “you’ve got the wrong guy.”

Even Trump’s own lawyers put in writing that this is illegal. Miller pushed anyway.
Miller screams “invasion” because the Constitution only allows this sort of thing during an invasion. But this same crowd brags every day that border crossings hit record lows. So which is it?

The right to challenge your own detention is the line between a republic and a regime. Lose it, and the government can disappear anyone.

I will fight this with everything I have.

The Constitution is not optional.

Not for Stephen Miller. Not for anyone.

Fox has reached an agreement to acquire Roku for $22 billion, after already buying Tubi for $440 million in 2020.

This marks the latest case of media consolidation in an industry controlled by a smaller and smaller number of huge corporations.
