Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”

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.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

I think the compromise consensus position for pretty much everybody of good faith should be that the full text of the agreement be released. There’s no reason to take Trump’s word or Iran’s or random leakers’ word for it. Release the text, period.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Trump’s total surrender to Iran is a humiliating display of national weakness that Trump is trying to cover up with faux displays of strength via some dudes kicking the crap out of each other on the White House lawn. A disgrace for the ages.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

If the actual terms of the deal are much better than the catastrophic surrender document being widely reported, then Trump would be publishing them to set the record straight.

He is not

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to permanently hand over the Strait of Hormuz to Iran under their full sovereign authority, with Iran collecting tolls called "service fees" from all commercial ships after a 60-day waiver period. The opening is planned for Friday, after the signing, per Fars.

With pre-war Hormuz traffic at 30,000 vessels and 7.6 billion barrels of oil per year, this could generate $10+ billion in annual revenue for Iran, and comes on top of the $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly sent to Iran.

This also directly contradicts Trump's claim of a "toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz" under no fees.

The tarp is still up Monday morning at the Kennedy Center, obscuring the name of the building. The Trump administration filed paperwork saying it complied w judge’s order to remove the current president’s name.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Fonda: The government and its cronies are routinely violating the First Amendment to silence artists, shuttering institutions like the Kennedy Center, and canceling TV hosts who speak out.

And it’s being allowed by cowardly corporations. I’m not going to name names right now.

IRAN'S FARS: IT HAS BEEN DECIDED THAT MARINE TRAFFIC THROUGH THE GULF WILL BE REGULATED BY IRAN IN COORDINATION WITH OMAN

Netanyahu told Trump the IDF will not withdraw from Lebanon and that Israel does not consider itself bound by the Lebanon clause in the U.S.-Iran agreement - Maariv

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to pay $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly to Iran as part of the deal Pakistan announced, alongside the release of $24 billion in frozen funds with $12 billion released before negotiations even start, per Mehr News.

This directly contradicts Trump's & Vance's claim that no funds will be transferred to Iran at all.

If Trump denies this is true, there never was a deal. If Trump confirms, the US has fully capitulated to Iran's demands.

[Amanda Carpenter @amandacarpenter]

This is for the folks insisting there was no taxpayer funding used to put on this event.

Steven Spielberg says the aliens in Disclosure Day were partially based on witness accounts from the 1994 Ariel School sighting in Zimbabwe

“I had to base our aliens on what people have reported who claim to have had close encounters to the third kind. And there is a consistency in the reporting.

There is circumstantial evidence from tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people who have claimed not just in America but all over the world to have seen something or met people who have seen things.

And obviously the first thing that comes to mind when you go back and you investigate what Dr. Mack, you know, investigated himself, from Harvard. He went to Zimbabwe to the aerial school where 65 school children saw a craft land and saw beings come out of that craft and they all described the eyes that were completely hypnotic and the eyes were wraparound eyes.”

When people in Washington lower their voices and say, “Please don’t use my name. I’m afraid he’ll come after my family’s livelihood,” it means something has broken. People no longer trust the law to protect them.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

I fear we have a cruel month ahead of us: the future of campaign finance law, the definition of Election Day, the fate of birthright citizenship. While I remain hopeful, I am prepared for democracy to leave this month weaker than it entered. https://t.co/WKWGn1CznF

NOW: Protesters with paper mache versions of assorted Trump administration officials chant “whose lawn? Our lawn!” outside of the White House, where a UFC fight is set to take place on the lawn this evening.

The Southern Baptist Convention will disfellowship a church for ordaining a woman. They will not disfellowship a church for supporting and protecting a pedophile.

And that tells you all you need to know about the SBC.

[Just Jack @7Veritas4]

So…God makes a rainbow when Trump’s name is getting taken off the Kennedy Center and sends thunderstorms to disrupt his hillbilly birthday celebration…but not a single evangelical who sees Jesus in their toast every morning can tell whether these are signs.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran directly rejects Trump's offer for money and economic benefits in exchange for not responding to Israel's strike on Beirut, saying an attack on Israel is imminent, per Channel 12.

Trump separately claimed that "no money will exchange hands" in any Iran deal, directly contradicting the bribery offer Iran just rejected.
