🇺🇸🇮🇷 America killed Soleimani, Khamenei, and dozens of Iranian scientists, then cried foul at revenge.
Fmr. CIA analyst Larry Johnson runs the ledger Washington never mentions, including backing the MEK through its assassination campaigns inside Iran:
"We're good at dishing it out, but by God, we can't take it.
The same thing that we decry is used against us, we cry foul.
If we weren't killing those people, there wouldn't be this seeking for revenge."
You can't deal the cards and then complain when the hand gets played back at you.

🇺🇸HERSHEY CHOCOLATE PRICES GOING UP… BLAME COCOA
Hershey is raising candy prices thanks to sky-high cocoa costs from supply issues in Ghana and Ivory Coast.

🇹🇷 ERDOGAN TAKES TURKEY’S NEW ELECTRIC TOY FOR A SPIN: TOGG T10F HITS ISTANBUL STREETS
President Erdogan hopped into the driver’s seat of the shiny new TOGG T10F, Turkey’s sleek electric sedan, and took it for a public cruise through Istanbul.
The T10F is TOGG’s latest flex in Turkey’s push to build a homegrown EV industry, and it’s aiming to go head-to-head with the big names.
All eyes were on the car… but Erdogan made sure to remind everyone who’s behind the wheel of Turkey’s industrial future.

🇺🇸FED TO AMERICA: YOU’LL GET YOUR RATE CUTS WHEN INFLATION BEHAVES
Mary Daly, one of the Fed’s top economic minds, says interest rate cuts might happen this year—but only if inflation finally stops acting up.
Translation? Prices are still rising like they missed the memo, and the Fed isn’t about to throw a party and slash rates while the economy’s still sweating.
Daly’s message: Cool it. We’re watching. Lowering rates too soon could bring inflation roaring back, and nobody wants to pay $12 for a loaf of bread again.
She also tossed in a little shade about Trump’s trade policies, saying they’ve added to the economic uncertainty—but so far, haven’t broken anything (yet).
Her bottom line? The Fed made a promise: fix inflation first, cut rates later.
And like any strict parent, they’re sticking to it—no treats until the chores are done.

The document, signed by Acting Deputy Administrator Pete Marocco, bars the individual from accessing USAID systems or premises without permission.
The memo also requires the employee to remain available by phone and email during business hours and warns against using their position or authority while on leave.

🚨🇺🇸MSNBC’S JOY REID MELTS DOWN OVER DR. PHIL DOCUMENTING ICE RAIDS
“It follows Trump's performative signing of more than 300 executive orders, at least 21 of which aim to overhaul the immigration system.
The reality-show government went so far as to tell federal agents conducting immigration raids to be camera-ready and brought none other than TV host Dr. Phil along for the ride.
This is interesting, given both the rise in MAGA immigration influencers they're seemingly endorsing and the fact that Dr. Phil has made a career out of exploiting vulnerable people for money.”
