The humiliating Iran deal requires the U.S. to come up with a $300 billion reparations payment to Iran. That's more than Iran's entire GDP.
Trump says taxpayers won't pay for it.
1/ So I compiled a helpful list.
.@jamestalarico: People like Dan Patrick and Ken Paxton are worried that we're about to take back Texas from the billionaires who control our government. So they're going to throw everything they have at us; they're calling me a fake Christian, they're calling me a radical leftist, they've even called me a vegan, and those are fighting words in the state of Texas. It's up to us to keep uniting Texans, staying focused on what matters to real people on the ground, and I think if we do that, we're going to be successful in November of this year.
They have no idea about how to get this economy back on track. They have no solutions to offer Texans. You know, I have a track record of bringing both parties together to actually pass bipartisan legislation that lowers costs; that's what I've spent 4 terms in the state legislature doing. It's what I want to do in the US Senate, and I think Texans are hungry for leaders who are going to actually solve problems instead of throwing cheap nicknames at each other.
Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump's new Chair of the Federal Reserve just admitted that it was Trump's Iran policy that caused energy prices to skyrocket. Woah.
The Trump Administration awarded over $22 million in federal contracts to a firm that organized the January 6th rally Trump used to incite the insurrection.
This administration is again rewarding loyalty to the president over every other consideration, including security, experience, and the proper use of taxpayers' dollars.
The public deserves answers.

Ken Paxton’s own party impeached him.
His own staff reported him to the FBI.
Now his own defense attorney is endorsing our campaign.
Those closest to Ken Paxton know he's unfit for office.
BREAKING: In a shocking maneuver, Senate Republicans just BLOCKED a Democratic effort to BAN federal troops from entering polling stations or seizing ballots or voting machines. Makes you wonder what they’re planning this November…
ICE tackle U.S. citizen—shoot him with taser after already pinned to ground.
4 agents hold the man face down—while 5th agent tazed him in the back.
Another agent points a weapon at a witness.
"Don't point that at me again," man says.
"I don't feel safe," agent yells back. "It's whatever I say—Get back!"
The man detained was a community volunteer with VC Defensa.
Incident occurred in an area open to the public at the Ventura County Government Center in Ventura, California.
Talarico fires back at Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz for questioning his masculinity: Real men don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves.
More of this please!!
🚨 Trump's AG Todd Blanche announces that the DOJ will not be releasing the 2.5 million remaining Epstein files they have.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, & the U.A.E. could soon influence:
CNN
CBS
HBO
Nickelodeon
Comedy Central
MTV
& more
Why? They’re dumping $24B into Paramount’s bid for Warner Bros.
We can't let countries with a record of censorship dictate what you watch. I’m pressing for accountability.
D-Day wasn’t about keeping desperate refugees out of Europe.
It was about defeating a fascist regime that treated human beings as less than human.
Hegseth using that anniversary to score cheap political points is cynical, disgusting & fucking shameful.
@jessicadean@CNN stop having these people on. @SpeakerMcCarthy rude as always, to say the least. He didn’t answer your questions & you finally gave up. Why give him this platform just let him go to Fox News & perpetuate his conspiracy theories & his support for Donald.
