Q: " You told me earlier that everything has been agreed to. Iran was saying something different. So what has been worked out?" Trump: "They have  people that they have to cater to, also. I really don't."

"It's definitely not open," @ksadjadpour says of the Strait of Hormuz. "I don't think any major shipping or oil company would tell you that we've gone back to status quo ante, and that process could take many, many months if if indeed we are able to go back to to status quo ante."

Binnall pushed one of the most patently ridiculous failed lawsuits of Trump’s 2020 election subversion campaign, which is quite an accomplishment. It was filed in Nevada, where the results weren’t close. The Atlantic will be just fine.

Reporter: If you don’t have a deal by Wednesday, will you extend the ceasefire or restart attacks? Trump: Maybe I won’t extend it… and we’ll have to start dropping bombs again.

I mean….🤦🏼‍♀️

A senior Iranian official to my colleague @fpleitgenCNN earlier today denied Trump’s claims that Iran had agreed to ship its stockpile of highly enriched Uranium to the US, calling the demand a “non-starter.”

I put out a montage of him a while ago sniffling in nearly every podcast interview he did for two years, but maybe that wasn’t the only thing he had going on.

Peace when markets are open War when markets are closed

Q: "There have been reports that the Pentagon's preparing for military action in Cuba. Are those reports true? Is Cuba next?" Trump: "Well, it depends on what your definition of military action is."

EXCLUSIVE: Kash Patel’s colleagues are alarmed by what they say is erratic behavior and excessive drinking. I spoke with more than 2 dozen people with knowledge of his conduct, some of whom described it as a national security vulnerability. @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

I spoke to 2 dozen people familiar with Patel’s conduct for this story, many of whom described it as a national security vulnerability. In response to 19 detailed questions, Patel said: “Print it, all false. I’ll see you in court - bring your checkbook.”

Huuuge turnout for @PeteButtigieg in Wichita, Kansas tonight where he’s raising money for the state Democratic Party’s organizing program. This is in a county Trump won by 14% in 2024 btw

Of course.

When a prosecutor finds that there is insufficient evidence to prosecute one of Trump’s enemies after a thorough assessment of the facts and law, he just fires the prosecutor and gets a new one to hack it up. Authoritarianism 101 from Trump’s Gangster Lawless DOJ.

He’s drunk-tweeting again.

Reporter: Are there going to be restrictions and tolls in the strait by Iran? Trump: Nope. No way. The restrictions are you can’t do the tolls.

TRUMP: “Next we’re going to war with Cuba. Watch what happens.” I’m lost for words at this point.

“The next president must say on day one: We’re tearing down this arch; we’re razing Trump’s ballroom…Washington ceremonial architecture must be returned to the purpose for which it exists—to promote democracy, not the demented ego of one sick man.” newrepublic.com/post/209211/tr…

Donald Trump just wrapped up a disastrous speech in Phoenix, Arizona, at a Turning Point USA event. He started by lying about a supposed deal with Iran, claiming, “We have now secured the Strait of Hormuz. It is ours.” He also said that the United States and Iran would be excavating nuclear sites together to collect “nuclear dust.” Iran has denied all of these claims. Trump also falsely claimed that Iran had announced the Strait of Hormuz is “fully open and ready for business.” That is not what Iran said. Iranian officials have stated the strait will remain open under their control—specifically under the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps—using coordinated, predetermined routes. They plan to charge tolls and assert full control and sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.
