As more strikes hit Iran tonight, Trump says attacks will continue until he says to stop… Adding Iran wants “to make a deal, but every time they make a deal, they break it.”

Today, I joined my colleagues in the Maine delegation – @SenAngusKing, @chelliepingree, and @RepGolden – in calling for a comprehensive, transparent, and expedited investigation into the fatal shooting involving ICE personnel in Biddeford. We are also asking DHS to detail the extent to which it will collaborate with state and local agencies.

A political moment defined by discontent. On today’s “2WAY Tonight” and “Capital Intel,” we broke down the unraveling Iran talks, the questions surrounding a return to negotiations, and the political stakes behind the next move. @ThirdWayKessler, @TimRiceDC, and I also examined the fallout from the ICE-involved shooting in Maine, Senator Susan Collins’ unique political standing, the evolving Senate race, and what the Democrats’ nominee replacement process reveals about the state of politics in 2026. Then @Mark_Penn joined “Capital Intel” with a fresh HarrisX poll showing a clear message from voters: Americans are aligned on data centers but divided on much else.

HALPERIN: LINDSEY GRAHAM MAY HAVE BEEN TRUMP'S MOST IMPORTANT BACKCHANNEL TO UKRAINE. 🇺🇸 @MarkHalperin says Lindsey Graham's greatest political value may have been behind the scenes—arguing he was uniquely positioned to persuade President Zelensky to accept a future peace deal because of the trust he had built with both Kyiv and President Trump.

Iran, the Maine Senate scramble, yesterday's deadly ICE shooting, and the fight for Lindsey Graham's old seat — @MarkHalperin breaks it all down LIVE at 5pm ET on "2WAY Tonight." Don't just watch—join the conversation on @2waytvapp. #NoSmack x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

The Iranian regime is never serious about negotiations. As I’ve long said, we need to finish the job militarily.

Original and smart take on how to drive economic growth 👀

The only question was whether he was going to take it back with an excuse or pretend he never said it.

Breaking: Trump will no longer charge 20% toll on Strait of Hormuz 🚨

“Only two men have held this senate seat since the 60s (actually 50s), Strom Thurmond and Lindsey Graham…@RussellFrySC is in his early 40s. We have a penchant in SC for electing folks that can serve a long time and build seniority.” @2waytvapp TMM @MarkHalperin @LarryOConnor
