Trump's ADMITS he caved to Iran

The ceasefire agreement Trump has been selling as a historic triumph is getting demolished from every direction simultaneously.

The leaked memorandum of understanding shows Iran will be allowed to sell oil without restrictions and that Trump dropped his demand that Tehran give up ballistic missiles — the single biggest ask he entered the war with.

The White House called the leaked text fake then admitted many details haven't been finalized. Senator Bill Cassidy called it "the worst foreign policy blunder in decades" and invoked Reagan's ghost. MAGA erupted. A Murdoch paper — a Murdoch paper — called Trump's dealmaking "desperate."

Then the text came out. It was real. And it was worse than what leaked.

The deal commits the US and its partners to a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran — a country we bombed for four months in a war we started. Iran's parliament speaker called it "a record of America's failure." Trump's own vice president spent 48 hours insisting none of it was true before the White House confirmed it.

In 2015, Trump called Obama's Iran deal a giveaway of "$150 billion to terrorists." Then Trump signed one for $300 billion. And then Trump signed it. At the Palace of Versailles — the same place Germany was forced to sign its humiliating reparations agreement after World War I.

The losing side, paying the winner, at Versailles. Either Macron knew exactly what he was doing, or the historical irony landed itself. Either way: Trump had no idea.

Trump started a war, bombed children, got nothing he demanded, paid reparations, signed the surrender at Versailles, and called it winning.

A Senatobia, Mississippi police officer shot into a car in a Walmart parking lot Sunday and killed one-year-old Kohen Wiley. The alleged crime that triggered the response: shoplifting a box of diapers.

Kohen's mother — who has not been charged with any crime — says she told officers there was a baby in the car. They fired anyway. A second person in the vehicle was left in critical condition.

Protesters filled the streets of Senatobia by Tuesday. Police responded to demonstrations outside city hall and outside the Walmart itself with teargas.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, now representing the family, put it plainly: "A one-year-old child is dead because police officers in Mississippi opened fire on a car in a crowded Walmart parking lot."

The family is demanding body camera footage and Walmart surveillance video. Authorities say they'll release it — after the investigation is complete.

Georgia Republicans abruptly reversed course on redistricting — in direct deifance of Trump — declining to redraw congressional maps in ways that would have eliminated Black-held seats.

This came after protests and amid pressure — a concrete, measurable win for voting rights advocates.

Lawmakers cited a "rushed timeline" and insufficient public input, which is politician-speak for we looked at the polling and the lawsuits and decided this wasn't worth it.

It’s a meaningful setback for Trump's nationwide effort to gerrymander his party into a structural majority before 2028. Republicans in other states are still moving forward. But Georgia — a state Trump has obsessed over since 2020 — just told him no.

On the Senate side, Trump's endorsed candidate Mike Collins did win the Republican primary runoff — but CNN's Harry Enten says that may be the wrong kind of gift. Enten is now predicting a historic Democratic sweep of Georgia, projecting that Jon Ossoff holds his Senate seat and the state may elect a Democratic governor for the first time in a generation.

Trump, rattled, immediately gave Ossoff a new NSFW nickname — that, some say, just serves to remind people how attractive he is.

Ossoff's response was immediate and surgical — he looked into the camera and called it Trump's "failed war," tied the weak deal directly to Republican incumbents, and framed the entire exchange as proof that Trump is "humiliated" by the outcome.

Two converging stories that reveal the right's next front. The FTC and four states just sued WPATH, the global body setting standards for gender-affirming care, in what reads as a direct attempt to delegitimize transgender medicine through regulatory warfare.

At the same time, the Trump administration quietly changed federal grant language to classify embryos as children — a Trojan horse for attacking IVF and abortion nationally.

The practical effects of establishing federal precedent that personhood begins at fertilization extend well beyond abortion: it threatens IVF access, puts embryo storage and disposal practices under legal scrutiny, and creates a statutory foundation for a national abortion ban that doesn't require Congress to pass a single new law. The change was made quietly, without announcement, in a grant program — which is exactly how you build a legal architecture before anyone realizes the foundation has been poured.

Meanwhile, a sharp new analysis shows unions are surging in popularity and the right is panicking, pivoting to branding organized labor as a vehicle for "abortion and gender reassignment."

These are not separate stories — they are one coordinated cultural offensive. And labor, trans communities, and reproductive rights groups are going to have to fight it together.

The week Kevin Warsh took over as Fed Chair, Trump's handpicked replacement for Jerome Powell made his first consequential decision: leave interest rates exactly where they are.

Elizabeth Warren, who opposed the nomination, offered something between sympathy and satisfaction — noting that Warsh inherited an inflation mess that Trump's own tariff policy has made substantially worse and has essentially no good options.

Trump spent months demanding rate cuts and installing a loyalist to deliver them.

The loyalist looked at the economy Trump built and said, respectfully, no.

Trump’s name may be off the Kennedy Cetner, but the tarp is still up, and their legal troubles aren’t over. Judge Christopher Cooper has the board three days to explain how it plans to keep the building open and running after July 5 — the date it was originally supposed to go dark. The board has already voted to appeal Cooper's ruling, but hasn't revoted on the closure itself.

Watch whether they comply, stall, or dare the judge to hold them in contempt.

See you Friday.
