The leaked Iran deal that is floating around suggests that this is a pretty simple transaction: we are paying Iran billions to reopen the Strait. Period. Stop.
That's probably why they are refusing to release it.
MAGA lunatic Burt Jones, who was endorsed by the orange felon, has lost the Georgia GOP gubernatorial runoff to an equally corrupt billionaire republican.
Friends in Georgia, say no to fascism and corruption, vote for Keisha Lance Bottoms to be your next Governor.
Congress must permanently defund President Trump's corrupt $1.8 billion settlement with himself, a complete fraud on the court and on our country. Not one dollar of taxpayer money can go to insurrectionists, Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Read Section IV of the 14th Amendment and the Domestic Emoluments Clause, Mr. President. You get nothing beyond your salary from the taxpayers, much less for violent insurrection.
“This is why I knew the version of events we witnessed in Butler, PA, were a stunt - and not the natural reactions of the man whose family I worked closely with in reality TV.
Even Tucker Carlson revealed recently that Dan Bongino told him Trump personally shut down the FBI investigation into his ‘assassination attempt’ when he came back into office.
Which makes total sense seeing how effective the ‘Fight, Fight, Fight’ branding operation had become for him - and how there is no way the events of that day would hold up to further scrutiny. Including the actions of the Secret Service, who seemingly went against all previous training and protocol to allow POTUS the opportunity for a photo op during an attempt on his life.
To put it simply, it doesn’t pass the smell test - and, as I have said many times before, Donald Trump should never be given the benefit of the doubt. Most especially when it comes to choreographed optics that serve the fraudulent image he has spent a lifetime crafting.” https://t.co/6BEIyohg06
Chicago, it’s good to be home!
Michelle and I built the Obama Presidential Center to be a place where people of all ages can learn, play, and work – and we can't wait to welcome you all later this week!
“No, America isn’t Nazi Germany, but Trump is absolutely a fascist, and Stephen Miller is a Nazi. If he could, millions would be put up against the wall. Miller is a monster.”

Kerry Kennedy on Tarp at Kennedy Center: This is typical of an administration that doesn't believe in transparency. It doesn't believe in transparency and decision making. It doesn't believe in transparency in the courts. It doesn't believe in transparency in when or why it goes to war or why it stops these wars. And it doesn't believe in transparency for something as small as this. Now, to me, it's very, very important that the Kennedy Center be retain its name. But it's also symbolic of a larger problem of transparency and corruption by this administration.
He started it.
He fucked it all up.
He lied & lied & lied & lied about it.
He made them stronger.
He made us weaker.
He surrendered.
He lost.
And then he gave them billions & billions & billions.
MAGA, MAGA.
Hi @realDonaldTrump, we're at Walter Reed!
You don't remember that place?
No wonder they give you that test you brag about—it's for 𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖.
Anyway, you're never going to forget me—especially after I get to Congress.

BREAKING: Governor Kathy Hochul has signed sweeping legislation banning ICE agents from wearing masks and entering sensitive locations like churches and schools. This is huge.
He sent 13 service members to their deaths over “not very valuable stuff”?
168 Iranian school girls.
Thousands of civilians killed.
Our bases badly damaged.
Stockpiles depleted.
$80 billion price tag.
$6 gas.
For “not very valuable stuff”?
This is shameful and beneath the dignity of our Armed Forces. General Daniel “Chappie” James Jr.—the first Black four-star general, a Tuskegee Airman who flew 179 combat missions in two wars, a man who stared down racism and communism with equal courage—had his portrait removed from the Pentagon under Pete Hegseth.

After hearing what was said about Michelle Obama at the White House last night, I can’t stay silent.
She’s a Princeton- and Harvard-educated attorney, a former First Lady, and a global example of intelligence, grace, and elegance.
I’m speaking up because she taught us: *“When they go low, we go high.”* That means calling out disrespect while still choosing dignity.
I stand with Michelle Obama. And she represents the best of American values.
It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
SCOTUS found Trump's tariffs to be illegal.
He owes YOU over $166 BILLION.
Yet he's doing everything in his power NOT to pay you back.
If you needed another example of Trump's overt corruption and intention to steal from the American people, here it is:
Of course, I am happy that the Strait of Hormuz will soon be open. That's a good outcome for the entire global economy.
But the Strait was opened before the war. We did not need a war to keep it open.
Marc Elias knew Trump wouldn’t accept the results of the election in 2020.
If he and the GOP lose the midterm elections in 2026, we will see him refuse to accept the results once again.
“Donald Trump doesn’t want to give up power,” @marceelias says.
