Pakistan PM says US and Iran have “final, agreed upon text” of a peace deal 👇

[Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz]

Amid ongoing intense mediation efforts by Pakistan, we are fully aware of incessant misinformation campaign being waged by those who want to sabotage the peace deal. Setting aside the noise, we can confirm that a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached and Pakistan is now working closely with both sides to finalize the next steps. Peace has never been this close as it is now.

The U.S. government just unveiled the majestic Greco-Deco design for the new federal courthouse in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The building is at once monumental and welcoming, classical and original. The iris capitals are an inspired touch, drawing on Tennessee’s natural beauty and weaving it into the stone of a federal building.

The Chattanooga courthouse is precisely the kind of building that President Trump’s Executive Order on federal architecture—“Making Federal Buildings Beautiful Again”—was designed to produce.

When the courthouse is completed, it will stand as the living proof that the Order represents wise and humane public policy—something all Americans, regardless of political party, can and should support. Beautiful public buildings are not a partisan matter; they belong to everyone.

Today, @DAGToddBlanche and @SecMullinDHS held a press conference, announcing the indictments of three individuals involved in smuggling of migrant children into the U.S.

More than 475,000 unaccompied children entered the US during the Biden admin, Blanche said, and over 300,000 could not be accounted for at the end of 2024.

Here's what a White House official just told me about this:

“This meeting is not on the schedule at this time. However, President Trump and President Al-Sharaa have a strong relationship and are easily in contact whenever is needed.”

The Iranian regime will lose the zero-sum game it is playing.

Any damage it inflicts on our allies in the Gulf will be paid for with funds extracted from Iranian Accounts.

Any tolls paid to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority will be offset by funds extracted from their accounts.

Every attack Iran launches will only deepen the economic and financial consequences it faces.

Federal authorities seized 13 internet domains on Wednesday that prosecutors say were part of a Chinese intelligence-linked scheme to recruit current and former U.S. government employees with access to classified information.

The operators created at least 13 fake consulting company websites starting in November 2023. These sites advertised jobs like Senior Analyst and International Affairs Consultant aimed at government workers, military personnel, and security clearance holders.

Prosecutors allege the recruiters used fake identities, AI-generated profile photos, encrypted messaging, and overseas payments to hide their activities. Applicants were offered money for reports and information, with pressure to share confidential details through contracts that appeared legitimate.

The scheme involved alleged bribery, identity theft, and money laundering. The websites were promoted on platforms including Upwork and Wellfound.

The Chinese embassy denied involvement, calling the claims malicious slander. After the seizures, the FBI replaced the sites with warning pages to disrupt the recruitment efforts.

Academics demand deeper scrutiny into the death of prominent Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre.

Police ruled her death a suicide last year. Giuffre died on April 25, 2025, at age 41 at her farm in Western Australia. She left behind three children with her husband, Robert Giuffre.

Her last social media post on March 30 described renal failure after a bus accident and showed a photo of her in a hospital bed with visible bruises on her face. She had also posted earlier about being estranged from her children.

Sixteen academics from the Centre for the Elimination of Violence Against Women signed an open letter calling for a formal public inquest. They cite evidence linking suicides to domestic and family violence, including statistics showing many such deaths involve prior victimization.

The letter notes that her final months match patterns of coercive control and systemic issues often overlooked in coronial processes. It urges the coroner to examine the full evidence in the context of domestic violence.

Giuffre was known for accusing Epstein and others, including a settled civil lawsuit against Prince Andrew. After her death, she received tributes including from President Donald Trump.
