The difference between this and the deal Trump tore up is that Iran now gets more money, fewer restrictions, less oversight, and more regional autonomy.

Difficult question: I was told by many pro-Israel friends they had to sacrifice women’s rights, trans rights, Black people’s rights and vote for Trump over Israel.

How do you feel about that choice after this MOU? Because, despite my extreme reservations about Kamala, I do not think she’d have supercharged Iran and given them $300 billion.

Can you admit he has a fundamental character flaw and it’s unsurprising he screwed this up?

[U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy]

Reagan is rolling over in his grave. Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Now, Iran gets to build brand-new infrastructure under this deal.

Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.

If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

Donald Trump Will Resign in 2027. The First Domino Falls This November.
Written by: Mitch Jackson
On a rain soaked farm in Wisconsin, the President of the United States unclipped his microphone, called a reporter crooked, called her darling, and walked off the set of Meet the Press. Fifty minutes of cameras rolling. One plain question about a fund he wants to steer toward people who beat police officers on January 6. He never finished the thought. He stood up and left.
I have watched a lot of people fold under pressure. I have stood in front of dozens of juries who showed up wanting to see a man crack. I know the look. I know the sound a person makes right before the bottom drops out. Here is the prediction I am putting in writing today, June 8, 2026, with my full name on it, so you are free to hold me to it. Donald Trump will resign the presidency in 2027. No impeachment removal. No election defeat. He will quit. And the single event that opens the door arrives this coming November.
Stay with me, because the road from a televised tantrum to a Rose Garden resignation runs straight through your ballot.
The Walkout Was the Tell
Watch the tape again. A reporter asks a fair question. The President insults the network, insults the host, drops a thank you darling, and bolts. A sitting president lost his nerve inside 50 minutes with a journalist who did her homework. Sit with how small that is.
And it is not just journalists anymore. Republican senators, conservative commentators, and some of the very influencers who helped build his movement are starting to challenge him in public. The protective bubble that once shielded him from criticism is getting smaller. The questions are getting tougher. The excuses are wearing thin. The pressure is building from directions he never expected, and every new crack makes the next one easier to see.
This man built an entire brand on dominance. The tough guy. The closer who never backs down. The footage shows the opposite. The footage shows a man who has lost the nerve to take a hard question in public.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Things most Americans agree on:

Groceries cost too much.

Tariffs suck and make no sense.

Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.

The debt is a mess.

The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.

Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.

Americans are exhausted.

AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.

Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.

Canadians are super fucking cool.

Mexicans are chill.

Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.

Good neighbors are a blessing.

Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.

We all question, are we alone in the universe?

We all fuck up along the way.

Epstein didn’t hang himself.

The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.

The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!

Things we’re told to fight about:

Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.

That’s the joke.

[Kenneth Berger @krberger]

More despicable crap.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

There is no world in which this is okay.  

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 

His son's employment was hidden so thoroughly that his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department website, he has no public resume, and his bar listings are outdated. 

If Alito had recused himself, the secret would have come out. He didn’t recuse himself. 

This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it. 

The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trump’s $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next. 

The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct. That is completely unacceptable, and it has to change NOW. 

Congress controls the Power of the Purse, and therefore the Court’s funding. If the Court will not adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review on their own, I support withholding their funding until they do.

ABC paid Trump.
CBS paid Trump.
NBC's parent paid Trump.
WaPo, CBS and CNN all pull punches.

@hockeyjoe123 It may bring in some of them back, but I'm concerned that there may be more bigots voting in the general that will outweigh the returnees.

[Kenneth Berger @krberger]

I agree 100%.
I think technically speaking, Gov. Josh Shapiro would make a fantastic POTUS, but as a fellow Jew, I can’t imagine this electorate voting for one, unfortunately.

[Nothing lasts forever! @Nto79549105]

I’d take Andy Beshear first, Gavin Newsom second, and Pete Buttigieg a distant third.

Beshear has proven he can win over voters who don’t already agree with him. Newsom is a skilled communicator, even if he comes with plenty of political baggage. Pete is intelligent, articulate, and by all accounts a decent human being.

Kamala Harris would be fourth. Not because she’s uniquely unqualified, but because she carries a mountain of political baggage and struggled to connect with voters nationally.

The uncomfortable reality is that while I think both Pete and Kamala are decent people, a large slice of the American electorate still isn’t ready to vote for a gay man or a woman for president. Many won’t admit it out loud, but election results tend to reveal truths that polls and platitudes often hide.

[Kenneth Berger @krberger]

@hockeyjoe123 @joncoopertweets Sounds great, but please see my comment above Gov. Shapiro, who I love.

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

I’m hearing from multiple folks who would know that @AndyBeshearKY had a very good night in South Carolina.

He brought the house down at the Blue Palmetto Dinner and made a real impression at Jim Clyburn’s Fish Fry.

Clyburn reportedly called it “one of the most incredible speeches I've heard from a Democratic governor from the South.”

That matters.

A Democratic governor who wins in deep-red Kentucky, talks like a normal person, leads with decency, and can connect in South Carolina?

Keep an eye on Andy.

@SonniSings If you cough and sneeze at the same time, it’s called a “snough.”
I made that up.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

This week, I prepared a special letter addressed to the President of the United States and to Congress. And yesterday, the letter was officially delivered to the institutions in Washington. It is quite rare for the leader of another state to address both the President and Congress of the United States simultaneously with a letter. But the situation now requires action, swift and effective action.

It is important that America hear Ukraine. We understand that much of the world’s attention is currently focused on the war in Iran. But the war here in Europe must also be brought to an end – a very bloody war that is already in its fifth year at full scale.

The sooner we are able to provide greater protection against ballistic threats, the sooner we will be able to make diplomacy work. As long as Russia continues to rely on missiles, its interest in diplomacy is not real. We must correct this. And we can do so only together with America.

Ukraine is grateful to America for all its support. And Ukraine will be even more grateful for a dignified peace and guaranteed security. All of this is possible – if there is sufficient determination.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

I want to thank Senator John Cornyn for his years representing our state. 

We don’t agree on everything, but we both still believe in public service.

To Senator Cornyn’s supporters: you have a place in our campaign.
