Iran won this war. By closing the Strait of Hormuz, they forced Trump to capitulate without achieving any of his major war objectives.

I hope future presidents will study the lessons of this defeat. Too many people died, and too much money was spent for nothing.

[Alyssa Farah Griffin @Alyssafarah]

The Iran War MOU reads as TOTAL surrender by the US. I hope this isn’t accurate. If the Obama Administration had published this - we would be calling it a total capitulation to the Islamic Republic.

Olympic medallist & World Champion, Jenny Simpson 🇺🇸 reportedly collapsed and suffered cardiac arrest during a track event, losing her pulse on the field before first responders successfully revived her and rushed her to a local hospital.

The incident occurred during a pop-up mile event in Raleigh.

Wishing Jenny a full and speedy recovery.🙏

This needs to go Viral! In Atlanta for the FIFA World Cup game between Spain & Cabo Verde a fan wearing a Spain jersey gestured to a Cabo Verde fan asking if he would like to swap jerseys & he said excitedly said Yes so they traded jerseys & hugged for what seemed like forever.

🚨 Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly speaking facts:

"Africans can’t have their people" at the World Cup because of US travel bans.

Every other team gets their fans. But Global South teams like Senegal get blocked while the West lectures everyone about "inclusion" and "human rights".

This is the same empire that bombs, exploits, and restricts — then cries when others resist.

Football should unite people, not separate them with racist visa policies and double standards.

Stand with Koulibaly. Stand with the fans. Stand with the Global South.

No bows. Just raw truth. 💪🏿🇸🇳

An update on Jenny Simpson, the 2011 World champion in the 1500m and 2016 Olympic bronze medalist, after she collapsed Tuesday night while pacing a one-mile race at the Sir Walter Miler meet in Raleigh, North Carolina: Simpson is receiving excellent medical care and remains under close observation by doctors.

We're wishing Jenny a full and speedy recovery and keeping her and her family in our thoughts. ❤️

Fascinating interview. Aaron’s right, the hosts came prepared with follow-ups. Rare to see the VP challenged like this and so crazy it’s on a daytime show and not an actual news/Sunday show.

I’m glad @ananavarro mentioned the stat about all but three refugees being allowed in being white South Africans.

Trump, though, was the elephant in the room. I’d have liked to have seen some Qs forcing Vance to justify Trump’s unjustifiable rhetoric and behavior: eg him calling all Somalis ‘garbage’ and criminals.

Messi is playing with complete freedom. He’s already achieved the ultimate goal by winning the World Cup, and that makes him even more dangerous this tournament. No pressure or expectations to live up to—just pure football. Enjoy every moment while we still can. There’s simply no one else like him. 🐐

EEUU sigue humillando a las selecciones de fútbol que juegan en el Mundial. Ahora le tocó a Uruguay. Los jugadores fueron tratados como narcos, con inspección de perros antidrogas y uniformados con detectores de metales.
La FIFA perpetró una vergüenza histórica este año.

🇺🇾🇺🇸 Uruguay landed in the U.S. for the World Cup and got welcomed with sniffer dogs and full security checks.

This came just one day after their plane was reportedly blocked from entering U.S. airspace, forcing the team to spend the night stranded at a resort in Mexico before their opening match.

FIFA and the airline blamed each other. The pre-match press conference was cancelled.

So this is the World Cup 2026 welcome: a football team treated like a threat before they even kick a ball.

The U.S. - Iran deal looks good:

The Trump administration has agreed to the deal it wants, and Iran has agreed to deal it wants.

They’re not the same deal…but, hey, c’mon, details…

[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.

[Michael T. Lester @MichaelTLester]

Trump is once again talking about Kharg Island and saying we can take it "at a time of our choosing."

He's not wrong. We can get troops on that island.

But he's not telling you what happens next.

Kharg Island is 16 miles off the Iranian coast. Iran has every square foot of it registered for artillery and rocket fire. They've spent the last three months laying anti-personnel mines on the beaches, pre-deploying shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles, and moving IRGC troops into hardened positions. They know we might be coming.

Every one of our ships in our assault force is 47 seconds from an Iranian anti-ship cruise missile. Every Marine on that island is within rocket artillery range of a coastline that runs 1,500 miles. We can't suppress that effectively even if we used all of our forces

I flew CH-53E helicopters in Desert Storm, and I know what it means to put troops in a fixed position on a small island with no room to maneuver and no friendly territory within reach. The military term for that is a kill box. The political term is leverage. The human term is a body bag.

The analysts are being careful in how they are framing it. Ryan Brobst and Cameron McMillan of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, which is about as hawkish as think tanks get, wrote in March that a seizure and occupation "is more likely to expand and extend the war than it is to deliver any sort of decisive victory." Former CENTCOM commander Joseph Votel said troops on the island would be "very vulnerable" and would require massive logistical backup. Malcolm Davis of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute put it more plainly: "I think the Iranians can probably sit back and attack Americans on Kharg Island, and casualties will mount up."

That's the politically correct version.

Here's what they're not saying out loud: Iran has FPV drones. The same camera-equipped drones being used by the millions in Ukraine. If our troops land on that island, Iranian drone footage of American casualties will be on every screen in the world within hours. Trump will own every frame of it.

Iraq bombed Kharg Island for four straight years during the Iran-Iraq War. From 1982 to 1986, but they never put a single soldier on it. They couldn't. The Iranians rebuilt and kept exporting oil. That's the historical record on what "taking Kharg" actually means.

And here's the part that makes even less sense: seizing the island doesn't open the Strait of Hormuz. Kharg is 300 miles from the strait. The Iranians mine the strait from their southern coastline. You'd have to suppress 1,500 miles of Iranian coast to fix that problem. Kharg is just a political symbol, not a solution.

We can bomb it into rubble. We've already struck over 90 targets there. Trump can destroy every oil facility on that island from the air, permanently. That's a real option with real consequences for Iran's economy and real consequences for global oil markets.

But putting Americans on the ground 16 miles from the Iranian coast, surrounded by water, within range of everything Iran has left?

That's not a strategic or tactical military operation. That's just a sacrifice of American lives.

Are you OK with that?

"This Sunday night’s UFC spectacle on the South Lawn...captures something about this moment in our history.

It's vulgar, violent, commercial, grandiose, tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."
