Iran gets all sanctions lifted, the ability to institute a legal and accepted toll after 60 days, a ceasefire in Lebanon, removal of all US forces from Iran's vicinity, $300 billion in reparations, and internationally-held money unfrozen. And JD has to run around trying to sell this. Total victory.

It must be so cool to live in a functional republic.

The MSM is terminally stupid. The big news today is that retail sales are "robust", jumping 0.9% month-over-month in May, above forecasts of 0.5%. A search by category shows the biggest bulk of higher spending came at gas stations. This is not good, unless your name is Chevron. #EconSky

Trump on Iran: "If they don't come through, is it a threat that we bomb? You can call it whatever you want, but it will probably happen."

📌 The editor-in-chief of Russian state television has fled to Switzerland and is reporting that Putin has been receiving fake news for 15 years—edited specifically for him 😬

This is not part of the agreement. He is making this up. Iran agrees to give up NOTHING on their nuclear program in this deal.

The $499 "American-made" Trump Mobile phone finally shipped. But repair experts at iFixit just tore it apart and found the exact opposite: a 2-year-old phone made in China, spray-painted gold, with a fake flag on the back. Read the full investigation: 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/so-much-fo...

The Dalmatian pelican boasts a massive wingspan typically arranging 2.8 to 3.5 m. This incredible span makes the species one of the largest flying birds in the world. They show such elegance when landing gracefully on the water.

"The mere existence of trillionaires is a major political and economic problem, probably the defining issue of our time," writes @gabrielzucman.bsky.social. "When the power of wealth is wielded by sociopaths, the consequences are a matter of life and death."

Iran v. New Zealand ended around 8pm in Los Angeles. At 10:07pm, Iran players were on a bus bound for the airport, where they'd fly back to Tijuana. World Cup organizers wouldn't let them stay and recover. This is completely unacceptable. FIFA should not be a political wing of the US Government.

Authoritarian regimes are no longer stopping at their own borders. Today, they are actively tracking and silencing dissidents who have sought refuge right here in Europe. May you rest in peace Robert Kuzovkov. 🕊️ #StopTransnationalRepression

The reflecting pool is now green, the color of all the money wasted on it. Painting the bottom has apparently heated the water and accelerated algae growth. Pure Genius.

Well. Now that we have resoundingly lost the war in Iran, can we get back to talking about the Epstein files?

Investigators found that leaders of a prison gang in Puerto Rico were selling inmates drugs in exchange for voting for Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón, a longtime Republican. After Trump’s election, prosecutors were told not to pursue charges. (Published May)

The reason that he’s paying Iran 300 million is fake news is because it’s 300 billion.

NEW LAW IN OKLAHOMA Data Centers Can't Pass Their Energy Costs to Consumers The law requires large-load customers adding 75 megawatts or more of demand to sign long-term agreements covering infrastructure costs tied to their projects, rather than spreading those costs across the general rate base.

Never forget that Ravens players - including Joe Flacco - literally stood behind Ray Rice during a press conference and said they did not believe his accuser. Then the tapes were released and Rice’s teammates said nothing.

Jeffery Epstein continued to exploit women and associate with the rich and famous during his time in jail, an NBC News investigation shows.

"Maine veterans showed up outside Senator Susan Collins' Portland office this weekend with 168 lunchboxes, one for each schoolgirl killed in the Minab school bombing, and 13 portraits memorializing the 13 American service members killed in the war in Iran." (From Common Defense)

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby—a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist—to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

WTF LAPD???? The LAPD showed up with 20+ officers and even sent a HELICOPTER for a noise complaint in an apartment complex in Canoga Park. And they shot and killed Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive. He wasn't dangerous. He wasn't a threat.
