[Emoluments Clause @Emolclause]

#BREAKING: Hayes: “Acting AG Todd Blanche told Congress not to worry about the $1.8 billion slush fund for insurrectionists…The DOJ then told the court the same thing—don’t worry, it’s moot, it’s dropped, and then last week, the judge said okay, fine, put it in writing. She ordered Blanche and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and an associate AG to all sign ‘a declaration under the penalty of perjury, they will not take any action to create or operate the anti-weaponization fund and that the anti-weaponization fund will not proceed in any manner or under any name.’ Well, today was the deadline for that and guess what? They came back to the court and they said no, we’re NOT doing it. We’re NOT filing any declaration to officially kill the fund, which probably means the slush fund is NOT dead.”🙄🤦‍♀️

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

This is not a normal statement from a normal cabinet member of a major nation. 

This statement from Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir is the statement of a war criminal. 

The racist, extremist Israeli government does not deserve one nickel of U.S. support.

Inflation now officially exceeds income – that is why most Americans don't “love” inflation as the President says he does. His war of choice with Iran triggered the price increase, as his own Department of Labor reports. Now, Americans are left with these higher costs and a huge bill.

So let me get this straight: Pulling a chunk of paint out of the Reflecting Pool gets you arrested for vandalism, but trump’s terrorists who attacked the Capitol, killed cops, broke windows, stole shit, and smeared their feces on the walls get to go free?

[middleclassparty @middle_class_us]

Ground beef used to be $3 a pound.

It is now $8 to $10 a pound.

That is not inflation.

That is a 200% price increase on the most basic protein in America.

And wages grew 3.4% this year.

They are not even trying to hide it anymore.

[Mr. Liiiimited @MrLiimited]

Reminder that @StubHub is not a ticketing site, it’s a trading platform that allows market makers (scalpers) to openly freeroll you

They allow ticket brokers to list tickets they don’t have. If the broker is then able to secure tickets for less than the price you paid them, they flip them to you for a profit. If they are unable to acquire, they simply report they don’t have the tickets and all they are required to do per the terms and conditions is refund you the purchase price.

Should this be illegal? Absolutely, I have no idea how this business is allowed. But it is.

There is no reason to use this site as a consumer. Only use real resale marketplaces where you get the tickets in hand once you buy. Not a “tickets will be delivered to you at a later date” business model company. You’re just getting free rolled.

"A year's worth of inflation-adjusted wage gains vanished in just four months, leaving workers little better off than when President Trump returned to office," per Axios:

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

ICE spent over $1 billion buying 11 warehouses to cage human beings. Now it’s quietly trying to sell or give away seven of them, more than $700 million gone, with not a single facility open and an inspector general investigation hanging over the whole mess.

This is the waste they swore they were elected to root out.

The fraud, the abuse, the blank check spent without a plan.

They bought industrial buildings at up to $145 million apiece, before renovations, with no environmental review, no community buy-in, and no real strategy for what came next. Even Republican officials told them to stop. Taxpayers are left holding the bill for warehouses that detained no one and accomplished nothing but fear.

It’s total hypocrisy.

An administration that lectured the country about efficiency lit $700 million on fire as part of Stephen Miller’s cruel fantasy of mass detention. Imagine what that money could have done for veterans waiting on housing, for families crushed by costs, for the working people they claim to serve.

I’m glad this plan is dying. It was inhumane from the first day, designed to warehouse people far from the rule of law and basic decency. But being glad it failed does not erase how it failed, recklessly and expensively. We must have full accountability for the officials who pushed it.

🛑🛑🛑 dün yazdığım o bomba haberi bugün patladı.

Mutabakat metni resmen imzalandı ve yayınlandı. Ama imza anında öyle bir şaheser ortaya çıktı ki dünyayı şoke etti. Herkes İngilizce kelimelerin analiziyle meşgulken, İran'ın stratejik kozu bambaşka bir yerdeydi. Amerika, bu mutabakatı resmen Farsça dilinde de imzalamak zorunda kaldı.
Bu olay büyük bir hukuki zaferdir. Farsça metin artık sadece bir çeviri değil, aksine uluslararası alanda mutlak bir geçerliliğe ve bağlayıcılığa sahiptir. Amerikalılar her zaman İngilizce kelimelerin çok anlamlılığından faydalanarak anlaşmaları kendi çıkarlarına göre yorumlarlardı. Ama şimdi, İngilizce kelimelerin titiz mühendisliğinin yanı sıra, Farsça metin de beton bir set gibi onların her türlü çarpıtma ve hukuki kaçış yollarını kapatıyor.

Bir "süper gücü", anlamadığı bir dildeki belgeyi kabul etmeye ve imzalamaya zorlamak, onun çaresizliğinin zirvesidir. Bu artık sıradan bir anlaşma değil; bu, İran düzeninin güçlü bir şekilde dikte edilmesidir."

Bakayi ne demişti:
"Gitsinler, Farsça dilini öğrensinler.

Reminder as you're traveling this summer:

Trump reversed a rule that required airlines to automatically refund you with CASH—not vouchers, not points—for canceled or severely delayed flights.

United Airlines and Delta Airlines each gave $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund.

For the first time ever in the United States the national price of a pound of Ground beef is now higher than the federal hourly minimum wage.
Thank you MAGA & Trump!

[Arizona Secretary of State @AZSecretary]

Fact: Trump does not have the legal authority to end mail in voting.

In Arizona, 80% of voters cast their ballot by mail and as long as I’m Secretary of State, I will fight to ensure they can continue voting that way.

BREAKING: Iran Suspends Entire 60-Day Negotiation Process With the U.S.

Iran has halted its entire 60-day negotiation framework with the United States after accusing Washington of violating the very first clause of the recently signed MOU.

According to Fars and Al-Mayadeen, Iranian officials argue Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon less than 24 hours after the agreement was electronically signed constituted a direct breach of U.S. obligations under the deal.

Iran’s delegation was reportedly preparing to depart for Switzerland for the first round of talks when Tehran abruptly canceled the trip. Iranian officials now say they will not fulfill their own commitments until they are fully assured Israeli attacks on Lebanon have stopped and the U.S. has adhered to the agreement’s first-clause requirements.

The first round of U.S.-Iran talks is now effectively off the table.

[David Schwartz @DavidSchwartz70]

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump kept his promise to never accept anything less than UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER and unconditionally surrendered to Iran.

Rubio slides him the hard copy of the MOU surrender letter in the Farsi language, and Trump signs it (obviously, he reads it fluently).

Rubio sent it to Iran, where President Masoud Pezeshkian signed it immediately.

And just like that, the blockade was lifted, frozen tens of billions were unlocked, oil money is starting to flow, and a hefty $300 BILLION reconstruction gift is to follow without mentioning anything about curbing Iran’s ballistic missiles or terror proxies.

Discussions on Iran’s uranium enrichment levels and its broader nuclear needs are now kicked to the 60-day negotiation window.

After months of chest-thumping, "the war is going great," and “we’re very far ahead of schedule," he exits the war the exact same way he entered, like a deer in headlights.

[Euan MacDonald @Euan_MacDonald]

French President Emmanuel Macron pulls off what could be the greatest diplomatic troll of all time by getting Trump to sign the "$300 Billion US Surrender to Iran" deal in... Versailles. The ignoramus Trump will have been clueless as to the historical significance of the location

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

March 9: "We're now totally independent of the Middle East. We don't need their oil."

April 1: "It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil. We have tremendous oil and gas, much more than we need."

June 17: If I didn't agree to the MOU, we "would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks...we would really run out, and there'll be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it."
