What time is the Trump Administration going to announce the agreement with Iran?
Trump stated that Iran's navy and air force have been "obliterated" with no planes remaining, and that 42 Iranian Navy ships were destroyed in just three days during March 2026. Oh yea, we also destroyed our standing in the world and the power of on military was on full display.
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

“We *could* follow the Constitution to rein in Mr. Trump, but saying “no” to Trump riles up the irascible hillbillies and then we lose power and can’t take away their healthcare.
Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
Last night on the @maddow.bsky.social show she asked James Talarico to comment on the fact some political experts say he can not win in Texas since he supports Trans folks. What a horrible indictment on Texas.
Money laundering X hundreds of Trump accounts. In-your-face f*cking corruption. Absurdly horrible. And Congress is sitting by. But we can urge our leaders to act and we can get elect better leaders... who'll do something!
Capital One disclosed in a court filing that it shut down hundreds of Trump Organization accounts over money-laundering concerns. President Trump has maintained that his businesses were "debanked" for political reasons, and the Trump Organization sued Capital One last year. https://cnn.it/4xiOF0T
