Vice President JD Vance was asked about President Trump’s comments Tuesday that he doesn’t “think about Americans' financial situation" in the Iran talks: “I agree with the president that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon," Vance said, and added, “But of course, the president and I, and the entire team, we care about the American people’s financial situations.”

Susan Collins will run her campaign on personal attacks. I'm running my campaign on what I'll actually do in the Senate.

Trump's absolutely collapsing with GOP leaning independents per WaPo & Pew polls. He got ~91% of their vote in 2024. Just 53% approve now. That 53% is down too from 73% approval he had with them in term 1 at this point. House GOP struggling too on 2026 House ballot with them

🚨🇮🇷 Iran's president called the IRGC's UAE strikes "completely irresponsible" and "madness"... Per Iran International, President Masoud Pezeshkian is reportedly furious that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched the missile and drone strikes on the UAE without the government's knowledge or coordination. Pezeshkian called the strategy of escalating with Iran's Gulf neighbors "madness" and warned of "potentially irreversible consequences." This is the most explicit confirmation yet that the IRGC is operating outside the Iranian government's control. Foreign Minister Araghchi negotiating in Pakistan while the IRGC seizes ships in Hormuz. Pezeshkian publicly calling for diplomacy while the IRGC publicly threatens to sink U.S. vessels. Now the IRGC striking Emirati targets without allegedly telling the Iranian president. Pezeshkian's framing matters. He's not criticizing tactics. He's calling the entire IRGC strategic posture "madness" and warning the consequences could be "irreversible." The civilian-IRGC split inside Iran is now the central variable in whether this war restarts or ends in negotiations. If Pezeshkian and Araghchi can wrest control back from the IRGC, a deal becomes possible. If the IRGC keeps acting unilaterally, Iran is going to be in another war regardless of what its negotiators say at the table. Source: Fox

🇺🇸🇮🇷 A reporter tells Trump to "go for the green" on Iran. His response: "I think you're going to be extremely happy when it all ends. It shouldn't be that long. We're trying to be nice." The only suspense left is whether he sticks the landing or shanks it into the bunker.
