You literally have zero idea what’s in the agreement, you’re guessing based on Iranian leaks intended to influence negotiations of an unfinalized agreement, and the Trump administration is denying your accusations. This makes you look pretty foolish—unless your predictions turn out to be right, but that’s quite a gamble. It’s shocking that Nicholas Kristof continues to rely upon your evidence-less propaganda. But then that’s why they refuse to publish him in the news segments of the newspaper where articles must be factchecked.
The deal taking shape with Iran is significantly worse than the JCPOA. I don't say that lightly. Here is why: 1) The JCPOA was one comprehensive, binding agreement. This is a two-stage interim framework. End the war now, then 60 days of nuclear talks. We are trading hard limits for a promise to keep talking. 2) Missiles and proxies are gone. The leaked 14-point MOU (Mehr, IRNA) keeps Iran's missile program and its support for Hezbollah off the agenda entirely. The standing critique of the JCPOA was that it left those out. This deal does the same and calls it progress. 3) No handover of enriched uranium. Under the JCPOA Iran shipped almost its entire stockpile out of the country. Here Iran keeps roughly 400 kg of 60% material. Its fate is punted into the 60-day window. That is a moratorium, not a rollback. 4) The enrichment pause is unsettled. Trump wants 20 years. Iran floated 5 (CNN). The JCPOA locked in 15 years of caps with IAEA cameras and 24-day inspection access. We have none of that on paper yet. 5) We pay up front. Oil sanctions lifted. Around $24 to $25 billion in frozen assets released, part of it immediately. Reconstruction figures up to $300 billion floated in Iranian press. In return Iran gives an interim ceasefire and a promise. 6) Hormuz reopens on Iran's terms. Araghchi says the strait will not return to how it ran before the war. Service fees, Iranian arrangements. This war handed Iran more leverage over the strait, not less. We went to war and may walk away with less than Obama got in 2015. Caveat: these terms come from leaks and Iranian media. Nothing is signed. But if it signs as described, it is the weaker deal.

Every screenshot. Every hadith. Every sickening contrast. Definitions of p*dophilia, gr**ming, s*xual violence denial — it’s all in there. This isn’t politics anymore.

Have you noticed something? Whenever a new, horrible story is revealed about this lying, violent detestable scumbag he says something like "the oligarchs are attacking me because they want this to be about me but I'm trying to talk about you, the people of Maine" And the media obediently swoon and refuse to follow-up or ask specifics and he gets away with it. But then, if you actually look at his commercials and his social media posts and his supporters' posts, they DON'T EVER talk about "the people of Maine" His campaign is a never ending attack on Susan Collins and her supporters. Did I mention he's a lying, violent, detestable, rage-filled, pompous, arrogant pathetic scumbag?

Just in: Doctors Without Borders staff have been sexually abusing underage refugees in Chad — including trading aid for sex, and indications of organized sexual trafficking. For those who've followed the group's ties to Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza, this is hardly a surprise

Interesting… One of the signatories to the new letter below calling for UC to return to using standardized tests in admissions is Professor Li Cai. He is a statistician working on psychometrics who directs UCLA’s National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing. He was also on the 2020 Standardized Testing Task Force that recommended AGAINST going test-optional at that time. BUT he was one of six task force members to sign this dissenting statement calling for the university to stop using SAT/ACT scores for the sake of DEI. Now he has signed the letter below calling for an end to this “failed experiment.”
“Give up the failed experiment of the last six years.” UC faculty in the humanities, social sciences, and professional schools are supporting their STEM colleagues with a new letter calling for a return to standardized tests in admissions.

You know, I would be willing to listen to an argument that "Epstein class" is simply referring to Epstein's relationship with other opulently wealthy people that believed their wealth precluded them from the law and that him being Jewish has nothing to do with it. But I'm not willing to listen to that argument from someone who got a massive Nazi tattoo on his chest.

The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did. And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves. One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults. Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life. If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever. Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen. Alternatively There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all. To start - If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers. It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail) Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability. Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up But They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.

Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense. SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world. Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere. SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity. Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help. The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist. Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives. Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation. Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears. Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction. We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

RCP: Bill Maher endorses Graham Platner for US Senate in Maine Maher on Platner: “I would still urge the folks in Maine to vote for him, for two reasons.” “One, we need to restore balance in our government, and a Democratic Senate would help a lot with that.” “And two, get used to it, America is a country filled with a lot of broken, horribly educated, phone addicted, sort of nutty people, and as long as we live in a representative democracy, we are always electing our reflection in the mirror.” Link to article: realclearpolitics.com/video/…

Tehran's War Machine in Beirut: Embedded Iranian Military Elements Directly Steering Hezbollah’s Blazing Frontline Against Israel Iranian military commanders and Tehran’s ambassador in Lebanon are actively running a wartime command center in Beirut, directly dictating Hezbollah’s tactical operations, battlefield decisions, and combat strategy in the escalating war against Israel. This embedded network is aggressively fueling the conflict by demanding immediate shipments of advanced Iranian weaponry, massive financial injections, and elite training to reinforce the frontlines. Crucially, these high-level Iranian operatives are the driving force behind Tehran’s decision to launch direct military strikes against Israel following the devastating bombardments in Beirut’s southern suburbs.

The most impressive thing about Europe isn’t the history, the food, or the public transport. It’s the collective commitment to pretending 30°C inside an apartment is perfectly normal, and not a serious health hazard. Why is Europe still refusing to use air-conditioning?

You’re not going to believe this… After Canadian politicians spent a week slamming the U.S. for denying entry to a Somali referee who has alleged ties to a terrorist org…. And invited him to Canada instead with open arms… THEY JUST DENIED A GHANA PLAYER ENTRY! Over s*xual assault and r*pe charges It’s almost as if it’s good for a country to protect its borders and these politicians just have severe TDS 🤔

No you don’t. You wouldn’t have minded if an Israeli was selling to a Palestinian. You only condemn when the final purchaser is a Jew. This racism of not selling land to Jews has been going on since forever. If this was about real estate, then let the original owner produce a deed and let there be litigation. Sovereignty and landownership are two separate things. But your knee-deep in identity politics and bias to a tribe you think is your own (when it’s not, you can’t even speak their language) than to know.
I condemn any attempt to sell property in the settlements in the West Bank, be that in London or anywhere else in the world. aljazeera.com/news/2026/6/12…

This is the last time I’m going to comment on the Reuters story about the alleged $3 billion, $12 billion, or $20 billion supposedly transferred, made available, made accessible, or otherwise handed over by the UAE to the Iranian regime, a claim that the UAE government has categorically denied. Let me state something clearly. I’ve spent more than two decades working in intelligence, counter terror finance, and financial investigations. I’ve worked on terrorism financing cases, advised on complex IRGC finance matters, and been called as an expert witness in terrorism finance cases involving governments, major banks, and cross-border financial transactions. And one thing I learned very early is this: When a story revolves entirely around a financial transaction, you do not simply assert that Country X paid Country Y billions of dollars and then expect everyone else to prove that it didn’t happen. That’s not how evidence works. You cannot demand that people prove a negative. If nothing happened, how exactly are they supposed to prove that nothing happened? The burden of proof lies with the person making the claim. In finance, especially at this scale, evidence matters. Paper trails matter. Documentation matters. Banking records matter. Regulatory approvals matter. Transaction records matter. Leaked documents matter. You don’t just point to anonymous sources and declare that billions of dollars moved across borders. A transfer of $3 billion, $12 billion, or $20 billion does not simply disappear into thin air. Whether it moves as cash, gold, dollars, yuan, rupees, dirhams, or even cryptocurrency, there will be evidence. There will be records. There will be traces. There will be counterparties. There will be compliance procedures. There will be reporting obligations. There will be people involved. That’s the nature of modern finance. So my simple question is this: Apart from anonymous sources, where is the paper trail? Show us one document. One transfer instruction. One banking record. One payment confirmation. One regulatory waiver. One piece of evidence that can actually be examined, scrutinized, and verified. Because that’s how financial investigations work. Until then, we’re being asked to accept an extraordinary claim with no publicly available evidence whatsoever. And on a lighter note, two nights ago I observed a suspicious formation of flying magic carpets crossing the skies above Dubai and heading east over the Gulf toward Iran. They appeared to be carrying large wooden chests overflowing with gold coins. Based on the evidentiary standard apparently being applied here, I assume Reuters will be reporting that transaction shortly.
