Sen. Chris Murphy: "It's a multi-billion dollar payoff to Iran in exchange for nothing ... Iran won. Trump surrendered."

Susan rice reacts to the MOU after Trump’s disastrous, pointless war

Rep Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) and journalist Katie Phang are the two people who are going to get to the bottom of the #EpsteinFiles These ladies are relentless and keep telling it like it is and for that I raise my glass!

Among the GOP reaction to Trump’s deal with Iran: “Reagan is rolling over in his grave” That’s just day one Just filed ===> youtu.be/ogDCEDuU6u8?...

Iran will charge fees for services in the Strait of Hormuz, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson says

It’s game on in Alabama, where two military veterans are challenging Senator “Coach” Tommy Tuberville’s eligibility to run for governor because he’s not actually an Alabama resident. joycevance.substack.com/p/can-you-be...

For someone who claims to be unhappy about being called a fascist, Miller continues to advocate for the fascist playbook. Habeas Corpus is a constitutional right that ensures our due process. Suspending Habeas is a hallmark of tyrannical, dictatorial, fascists regimes.

He took America to war - killing 13 soldiers, thousands of Iranian civilians and costing taxpayers $60 billion - to get rid of Iran’s missile program. And now that he’s lost the war, he pretends like it’s no big deal. Just unforgivable. What a charlatan.

An agreement to agree is not a binding contract. Felon Trump lies by suggesting he has some binding deal with Iran to end his war of choice. I break down what is publicly known about the terms, which only put Iran in a better position than before Trump’s illegal war. youtu.be/gRWwgPXvDp8?...

All the Iran hawks said that the way to get rid of Iran’s hardline regime, nuclear program, missiles, and support for terrorism was to go to war with Iran. We went to war with Iran. And the hardline regime, nuclear program, missiles and terrorism aid are all still there.

If those claiming they are exonerated in the Epstein files are telling the truth—then show us! #ReleaseTheFiles Entire convo with @katiephang.bsky.social here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4Hp...

NEW: “No one really disagrees” that Donald Trump’s recent mail ballot executive order calling for the creation of federal voter registration lists “is flagrantly unlawful,” Democrats argued Wednesday in a filing asking a federal appellate court to block it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

March 9: "We're now totally independent of the Middle East. We don't need their oil." April 1: "It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil, much more than we need." June 17: If I didn't agree to the MOU, we "would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks..."

Hurricane season is here. We can't wait for a future president to make sure our communities are prepared. This is what I stressed to the Cameron Hamilton, current nominee for FEMA Administrator, as Americans rely on FEMA to get the help they need when disaster strikes.

🚨BREAKING: Georgia House Republicans called a special session to redraw the state's maps — then walked away before it even started. Ashley Cleaves and I break down why the GOP blinked and what it means for the fight ahead. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wueQ...

Profit from cruelty and pain is the point. The Trump administration has been clear their priority is to enrich their corporate bosses, not to protect our rights, our security, our well-being.

NEW: Federal judges are increasingly rejecting immigration court bond hearings legally deficient exercises geared at continuing detention rather than providing a fair hearing. It's the latest front in courts' confrontation with ICE's detention policies. www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

Trump has trapped over 1,000 Afghans at a base in Qatar. These are heroes who assumed grave risk in assisting our mission in Afghanistan. We need urgent answers about the failure to support these allies and Trump’s appalling efforts to deport them to third countries like the DRC.

Georgia Republicans’ rushed attempt to redraw the state’s political maps collapsed before lawmakers could even begin, handing voting rights advocates an important win and exposing the political risk of the GOP’s post-Callais push to dilute Black voting power. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

EXCLUSIVE: MeidasTouch has obtained an internal email revealing the Trump admin has elevated the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool algae crisis to a "regional and national priority" — desperately seeking federal workers for 12-hour scrubbing shifts just weeks after a $14 million renovation.

The Vice President of the United States wanted to use the Insurrection Act to quash protests and Stephen Miller wanted to suspend habeas corpus rights. These are basic constitutional freedoms. Let that sink in. If you haven’t read the latest reporting from the New York Times, this is a must-read. ⬇️

This Administration has stalled the release of the Epstein files every step of the way. Trump is calling it a hoax. His Vice President is holding secret meetings. His former defense lawyer, and possibly the next AG, is saying the investigation is over. It's outrageous.

Democrats ought to do this everyday.

BREAKING: Read Full Text of U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding Shared by U.S. Official

One of my favorite lines in the complaint: “At a meeting of the Shoals Republican Club on August 3, 2019, Tuberville candidly conceded that he ‘has property’ in Alabama but is not an ‘everyday resident of Alabama,’ describing himself as a ‘carpetbagger.’”

🚨BREAKING: Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) got a tough lesson Wednesday just hours before the state legislature was supposed to convene for a redistricting special session he called: Life comes at you fast. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

At the G7 today, Trump said Iran should keep its ballistic missiles, said nobody knows what's in the deal he signed, revealed the real reason he signed the MOU — and said if it falls apart, he's blaming Vance. Your midday update is here:

BREAKING: ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Republican legislative leaders reject governor's call for 2028 redistricting in special session.

We could lose New Jersey being the 'Garden State' because of Trump's war in Iran. Listen to what the head of New Jersey's Farm Bureau had to say about the existential threat farmers face.

Wow. We learned from the @washingtonpost.com this week that not only are we, the American taxpayers, covering $300M of the cost of Trump’s $600M ballroom, but we had already started shelling that money out when Trump lied—repeatedly—and said “not one taxpayer dollar” would be spent.

He's lying. You know why we know? WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT HE SIGNED!!!! Here's the operative language: "The U.S. undertakes, together with regional partners, a comprehensive plan...for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran...of at least $300 billion."

Now is the time to lean into the politics of HOPE. The politics of CHANGE. And, the politics of POSSIBILITY. Excited to head to the Obama Center Opening—which is an important moment as we celebrate the 250th Anniversary of our country and the promise of our democracy!

Trump said no taxpayer money would be spent on the ballroom. A contractor's invoices show otherwise. 
An internal cost estimate in March by the project's contractor put its cost at $600 million — with half coming from tax dollars.

Stephen Miller is trying to suspend habeas corpus, which allows people to challenge the basis of their detention, in some immigration cases. Miller's attempt to revoke this fundamental aspect of due process is an egregious violation of our Constitution, and we're fighting back.

An independent voter in Las Vegas absolutely lays in to Donald Trump and Republicans on…well, everything. Dave in Las Vegas if you’re out there? Solidarity, dude.

New lawsuit just filed challenging Tommy Tuberville’s eligibility to run for Governor in Alabama because he’s a … Florida man.

NEW: House Oversight Democrats have launched an investigation into reports that Stephen Miller pushed suspending habeas corpus. The inquiry, obtained by MeidasTouch, demands White House records and orders officials to preserve all related communications.

Donald Trump’s unconstitutional war in Iran was never about freedom for the Iranian people. He dragged the United States into a conflict with no clear objective and no plan for what comes next. The result has been catastrophic and it must end.

New Mexico investigators have sent letters to JPMorgan Chase, Google and more than two dozen companies ordering them to lock down records tied to Jeffrey Epstein and some of his associates, a sign of the widening criminal probe into his Zorro Ranch.

Todd Blanche is trying to get the heat off of President Trump, but the heat is not coming off. We need justice for survivors. We’re not stopping until we get it.

The secret Trump ballroom plans have leaked It’s gonna cost taxpayers a lotta money youtu.be/hU8QFsPpHac?...

Donald Trump converted the White House into a money-making operation for himself, his family, and his closest advisors and biggest campaign donors. It's endless corrupt self-enrichment from a president who says he doesn't "think about Americans' financial situation.” No kidding.

EXCLUSIVE: Congress Launches Probe into Trump White House Consideration of Suspending Habeus Corpus open.substack.com/pub/macfarla...

NEW: We don't know enough about DOJ's Newsom-adjacent probe to assess its merits. But the Trump admin's pursuit of the president's adversaries — in cases that have quickly fallen apart — has erased DOJ's historical benefit of the doubt w @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/06...
