🚨UPDATE: IRAN WILL BE ABLE TO CHARGE A FEE IN HORMUZ, WILL HAVE SANCTIONS LIFTED ON THE SALE OF THEIR OIL, WILL HAVE BILLIONS UNFROZEN, AND THE WAR IN LEBANON WILL END IN RETURN, THEY WILL MAKE PROMISES TO CONCEDE ON THEIR NUCLEAR PROGRAM AND REMOVE THEIR ENRICHED URANIUM IN A FUTURE AGREEMENT If true, this is a massive win for Iran! (This comes from sources close to the negotiations)
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal

Just got the following from a source close to the negotiations: - Trump's deal will include Iran charging a toll at the Strait of Hormuz, but they'll call it something else (legal gymnastics - UNCLOS Article 26) - The U.S. will unfreeze assets, or commit to doing so (still being negotiated) - The war in Lebanon will likely stop (despite Netanyahu not accepting) Nothing is 100% confirmed yet. Both sides are debating the unfreezing of assets, and Netanyahu is facing significant domestic pressure to keep the war in Lebanon going

🚨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.”

@OceanWave0324 @JEluemunor Politicians used to exist peacefully - if Eli introduced Bush, it would be a non story. Trump changed that by turning everyone into an enemy. Let’s not forget the state of the NFL in his first term when he convinced half the country they shouldn’t watch.

@JEluemunor It’s such a shame that people with different political ideas can’t coexist peacefully. Bravo Jaxson!! He introduced the President! What was wrong? “Go big Blue” or “Please welcome the 45th and 47th President of the United States”. Which words hurt your feelings Carter?

@garrett_TFE I had lunch with Tom years ago and he said something similar. When I asked him of his thoughts on restoration he said (paraphrasing): “I don’t think much of it. Why I would I restore something when I know I can build something better.”

You have to grudgingly respect that Fazio isn't even pretending that his version of East Potomac will "incorporate themes of the original Walter J. Travis design," as the press release from the Trump administration claimed it would. He's just like, "Nope, Walter Travis was an idiot, I'm blowing it all up."

Spoke to Tom Fazio this week about Trump’s D.C. muni project. At first, Fazio didn’t want the job, fearing the “aggravation” of all the red tape. Then he saw the site and couldn’t resist. Here’s the scoop on his plan. golf.com/news/plan-pres…

@wtgowers A note of optimism: it’s telling that this was achieved by OpenAI itself, not some rando with no math training using a public model. It suggests this level of result is expensive, requiring specialized infrastructure, mathematical expertise, and serious money. Good news for now.

Trump’s dramatic slide with white non-college voters is evidence that Trump supporters can lose faith in Trump. And there’s no more important lesson for voter’s to learn than electing people like Trump makes their lives materially worse.

CBS News Poll – Trump approval trend among White non-college voters: Feb 2025 🟢 Approve: 68% (+36) 🟤 Disapprove: 32% May 2026 🟢 Approve: 46% (-8) 🟤 Disapprove: 54% Net 44-point negative swing

Thanks to President Trump’s $1.5 trillion defense budget, this War Department has moved from bureaucracy to business. This is a FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT in our Arsenal of Freedom—ensuring our military remains the most lethal fighting force in the world.

NEWS: East Potomac Golf is expected to shut down on Sunday after the last tee time as the Trump administration officially takes it over. Renovations will start at a later date once compliance has been met. Tom Fazio expected to lead the renovation. Additionally, the admin has offered the National Links Trust a renewed lease for Rock Creek Park Golf with a waiver for unpaid rent. notus.org/trump-white-ho…

If this is the end of LIV, remember that they chose this path in part by Yassir overvaluing what they had and overplaying his hand. The Tour was willing to do a deal. They valued LIV at $500 million. Yassir was insulted. Deal fell apart from there. What is LIV’s value now?

I am fascinated to see if there is anyone willing to back a league who historically has lit money on fire with tepid results in building anything of substance.

This is bad and its incumbent upon people with platforms to push back on it. We have rapid fire still photos of Trump grabbing his ear in Butler from the NYT, a man died, Trump was treated by nurses at a hospital. All these people are in on the conspiracy? Lunacy. No "pro-democracy" interest is served by living in unreality.
Jesse Arm@Jesse_Leg

In our last @ManhattanInst survey, we found that 46% of today’s Democratic coalition believes “the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in July 2024 was orchestrated by his supporters to increase sympathy for him.” manhattan.institute/article/do-dem…

SARA EISEN: I think it was a bit of a trap to ask Kevin Warsh about the election denial, to get him to disagree with President Trump. You know no Fed Chair is going to weigh in on politics like that. ELIZABETH WARREN: Look, I asked him a fact. We need a Fed Chair who can assert reality. Kevin Warsh can't do it.

The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas. But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”

@robertgraham @0xYanli Unfortunately you need to have power to project good principles. At least they put it to a vote in both cases - Texas just did it without asking the voters. Tough look for the "elections have consequences" crowd to criticize this...

@0xYanli Yes, but I would only vote for a Democrat over a Republican if they were the more principled party. If they, too, throw out their principles, then I may as well vote Trump.

I hate this. Two wrong don't make a right. Republicans are cheating trying to win control of the House, so Virginians are responding by trying to cheat the opposite direction. Republicans already cheat worse than Democrats at gerrymandering. What the Democrats should already have been doing is criticizing their own members, such as how Illinois is the worst gerrymandered state helping Democrats. They shouldn't have left Illinois around to be abused by Republicans to gerrymander even more.
Barack Obama@BarackObama

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
