@ClayTravis Iran says it isn't.

[Johanna Nyman @JohannaNyman5]

It is frankly embarrassing that a sitting U.S. Vice President is unaware of one of the most elementary facts of World War II. Nazi Germany did not negotiate an end to World War II. The war in Europe ended with Germany’s unconditional surrender after total military defeat and the collapse of the regime in May 1945.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran directly rejects Trump's new claim of a deal being signed tomorrow, saying the insistence on signing the deal on specifically Sunday is engineered around his own birthday, calling it a "propaganda event" that Trump is trying to turn into a unilateral "symbolic occasion" for himself, along with his UFC White House event, per Fars.

The Iranian negotiating team says it "will not permit such a media and ceremonial manoeuvre," explicitly stating that the memorandum of understanding has not been finalized and no signing will happen.

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

Ah yes that famous “negotiation” where Japan unconditionally surrendered after two atom bombs and Hitler blew his brains out.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Such a bitch

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

World War II ended in unconditional surrenders by Germany and Japan.

@NancyMace When will you be endorsing Ken Paxton?

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Thanks I forgot:
Joe Biden received 81 million votes. More than any candidate for President in the history of this country. It was a total landslide. A wipe out of historic proportions. He then went on to pass more bipartisan legislation than any President since LBJ. Conversely Donald Trump has not done much except start a war no one wanted doubled inflation expanded the trade deficit to historic highs and enriched himself and his family to the tune of billions of dollars.

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:

Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.

You won’t.

You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.

That is not who we are.

My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.

For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.

I no longer believe that.

Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.

And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.

That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.

Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.

Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.

Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?

We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.

So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.

You won’t.

The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.

That is the only definition that matters.

[Charlie Cook @CharlieCookDC]

Midterm elections are almost always bad for a President’s party. But how bad? Is a just-released Fox News poll in Ohio a dead canary in the coal mine? A state that Trump won by eight pts twice (2016 & 2020) and 11 points in 2024 should not look like this https://t.co/NLMDRhCMHG

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man.

Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does.

A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching.

Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.

@JonBramnick The MAGAfied NJGOP isn't listening, Senator.

[Neil Brown @nateb514]

@Genevieve_207 Would you consider faciliating Kavanaugh and the end of Roe abuse of women?

[Neil Brown @nateb514]

@AriFleischer And if you give a child rapist who molested a friend's son for three years a 30-day sentence and let him out of jail after one day, and throw boiling water in your wife, you get endorsed by Trump and run for the U.S. Senate. Shut up.

[Steven Rattner @SteveRattner]

Inflation has overtaken wages for the first time in 3 years.

That means Americans’ incomes are shrinking in real terms, largely because of the Iran war.

@JonBramnick Senator, CD07 voters received mailer today touting you as NJ's most non-MAGA Republican who stands up to Trump.Paid for by "Bramnick for Senate" but you're not on the ballot this year. Thinking of running for something else?
