New from me: after a bill banning undocumented students from public colleges was rejected by the Florida Legislature, the state is now trying to block these students from enrollment through a backroom process that limits public input.

Thank you again to President Trump for coming to Rockland county to speak with New Yorkers to highlight what we were able to accomplish in the tax cuts bill.
I also want to thank President Trump for honoring Welles Crowther with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, recognizing his extraordinary courage, selflessness, and lasting legacy. It was also meaningful to see Yorktown’s Sheridan Gorman recognized, with her mother’s remarks leaving not a dry eye in the room.

For years the story of my life was told by people who wanted it to end.
This time I told it myself.

🚨After receiving a briefing from a Senior TRUMP Administration Official on the status of the Iran negotiations (someone in the know & not just speculating), I can tell you the following:
-USA IS NOT GIVING IRANIANS MONEY FOR NOTHING. All speculation and propaganda to the contrary is false. Some hardline elements of Iran’s govt (IRGC) have pushed fake stories & propaganda to try to kill this negotiation.
-Iran deal is NOT done (95%, but still haggling over some language). No deal being signed today. May be a few more days before this is done.
-Iran will NOT get any money or sanctions relief up front.
-Iran must turn over nuclear stockpile to get anything. USA position is that failure to meet deal commitments means Iran gets nothing.
-Long term USA objective is preventing Iran from having nuclear weapon.
-Initial deal point is to re-establish free flow of commerce by reopening Strait of Hormuz.
Deal should have 2 phases:
Step 1 - Open Strait of Hormuz. Give world economy breathing room. Iran agrees to give up enriched uranium.
Step 2 - Get the nuclear material turned over. Only then can Iran get sanctions relief.
Bottom line: goal is to make a deal that lowers costs for Americans, calms world energy markets, and guarantees that Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon over the long term. We aren’t there yet. Iran takes forever to get you a response on even small things. But we are close although it still could be a few days.
“If we get what we are demanding, this is going to be a historic deal,” SAO says.
SAO sounds prepared to do no deal at all if all Iran will do is a “bad deal.” SAO admits deal could fall apart yet. But if a deal is reached, SAO expects very senior USA admin officials to take part in a signing ceremony of some sort.
Iran has agreed in principle to the framework but there are still a couple points USA isn’t satisfied with. 95% done. But literally changing words sometimes requires days in Iran’s system. Haggling over language. But USA feels like we have a commitment on nuclear stockpile and on opening Strait of Hormuz.
If IRAN doesn’t deliver on commitments, they get nothing.
“Iran’s ability to project power is a lot more limited than it was two months ago,” SAO says. “Their industrial base for building ballistic missiles has been substantially destroyed.”

By Jasmine Crockett:
"Hey Tim Scott,
You spent years tap dancing through every interview, every speech, every Sunday show appearance telling America that racism was basically over and that your success story proved everybody else just needed to work harder and complain less.
You carried water for people who mocked civil rights, demonized poor people, gutted diversity programs, attacked voting rights, and treated Black history like a disease.
And for what?
No VP slot.
No cabinet throne.
No real power.
Not even basic respect.
You confessed your admiration on national television for people who viewed you as nothing more than a convenient talking point — the “See? We have one!” guy standing in the background smiling on cue.
Then the second you showed the smallest trace of independence and questioned that disgusting Obama monkey post, your own side turned on you like starving wolves.
Suddenly the loyal house servant wasn’t loyal enough.
Now you’re sitting in a car recording cellphone videos reminding the world that you’re still Black.
Trust us, Senator — nobody forgot.
The problem is that you spent so much time trying to convince other people that racism wasn’t real that now, when it smacks you directly in the face, you want sympathy from the same community you lectured for years.
You defended the people stripping away protections for minorities, women, the poor, and working-class families. You stood beside people cheering the destruction of programs our grandparents marched, bled, and died for.
And now you look shocked that the crowd you entertained never actually saw you as an equal.
The Bible talks about the Prodigal Son returning home after losing everything.
But the Prodigal Son came home humble.
You spent years helping burn the house down.
And now you’re politically homeless:
too Black for the people you defended,
too eager to defend them for the people you abandoned.
That’s the tragedy of selling your dignity for a seat at a table that was never meant for you.
Tim, you may be the PRODIGAL SON, BUT YOU CAN’T COME HOME."
We saw it coming. He didn't want to.
