BREAKING: Senator Jack Reed, the Democrats top ranking official on the Senate Armed Services Committee, just went on Fox News and exposed how bad Donald Trump’s Iran negotiations really are. Wow.

Rep Jeffries nailed it: Trump ripped up a working nuclear deal because he suffers from Obama Derangement Syndrome. It brought together Britain, France, Germany, and more, but Trump destroyed it out of pure jealousy. Now Iran is stronger and Americans are less safe.

My most optimistic journalism take:

Josh Hokit just ended his post-fight speech at the White House UFC event by yelling "Michelle Obama is a man!" A disgraceful spectacle through and through

An American citizen who served in the U.S. Army and the Texas National Guard for roughly 20 years is desperately urging federal immigration officials to release his wife, who is facing deportation to her native Honduras. "I love this country, and for this country to rip apart my family and take away my wife; she's my rock and she is my backbone to this family" retired Staff Sgt. Wilmer Trujillo told CBS News' @camiloreports. Trujillo said his wife, Arelys Barahona-Martinez, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Wednesday during a check-in appointment at an agency office in Dallas.

Looks like Dan Bongino is likely the leaker who is the key source for @maggieNYT and @jonathanvswan's story exposing Situation Room meetings to cover and protect Trump from his direct and clear involvement in Epstein's sex trafficking ring - specifically, the rape and mutilation of multiple children. Bongino, Patel and Bondi joined a conference call with Vance, Leavitt, Wiles, etc, in the situation room, and it's believed that Bongino was the one who probably recorded audio from the call.

Julia Roberts: We all feel like, “I can’t turn the news on. I don’t want to hear it.” But we have to hear it. We have to face it. But if we keep inhaling and exhaling, we will prevail.

Donald Trump has just surrendered to Islamic terrorism. Trump lured millions of Iranians into the streets with promises of help, 40K were slaughtered, and now he’s cut a deal to save the IRGC. What a disgusting betrayal of those who trusted him. Free Iran! (@realDonaldTrump)

Iran just leaked the receipts on the new deal, and it looks like a total US capitulation. According to Mehr News, Tehran claims Washington locked in a staggering $300 BILLION in direct reconstruction funds. Even wilder? They're allegedly getting $24B in frozen assets unfrozen, with $12B handed over upfront just to sit down at the table. This completely torches Trump’s narrative that Iran wouldn't get a single cent. Trump is trapped. This is a massive checkmate.

A UFC fight is taking place on the South Lawn of the White House. Read that sentence again. Not a state dinner. Not a bill signing. Not a ceremony honoring military service. A cage fight. The remarkable part isn't that it happened. The remarkable part is how many people now hear that sentence and think it's completely normal.

Boarded my flight at DCA National airport. Come to find out, the president of the United States has paused ALL flights because of the UFC fight at the White House. The air traffic controllers were not warned, nor were the airport staff or travelers.

As many of you know, I’ve been working on a book for years. I’ve made a lot of progress, but it’s been too easy to keep putting it on the back burner while I focus on other projects and goals. The truth is, I’ve been sitting on this story for too long. I already have 12 chapters written, but many of them still need editing, and there’s still more writing to do. I’m hoping that a weekly deadline and a little accountability will help me keep the momentum going and finally get this book finished. To keep myself accountable and motivated, I’ve decided to start sharing one chapter per week on Substack for my paid subscribers. I offer a couple of subscription options, including $8 per month or $80 per year. I’ll continue posting free content for subscribers who choose the free option as well. I know times are tough for all of us, and sometimes we just don’t have the extra cash to be frivolous with. The chapters I share won’t be the final published versions, but they’ll be close. You’ll essentially get a behind-the-scenes look at the book as it comes together. If you’d rather wait until the finished book is released, that’s completely okay too. This is a fun way to keep me writing, stay motivated, and thank the people who have supported my work and invested in my writing along the way. I’m excited to finally start sharing my story with everyone.

Inflation is at 4.2 percent. People can't afford gas or groceries. The President is a rapist. Enjoy this. In November, the end begins.

72 more cases and 32 more deaths… 😮

This event is in honor of America's 250th bday, but to watch it, Americans have to pay for a subscription to Paramount , the company owned by David Ellison (spotted below) whose deal to merge with Warner Bros was approved by Trump and whose dad is a major Trump fundraiser

I’m starting to think that he might not be the brightest man in the Cabinet.

Mitch McConnell is in the hospital. But, he won't have to worry about medical bills or skipping tests because he has high-quality, government-subsidized healthcare — the same thing he has spent his career cutting for tens of millions of Americans.
