[b]Iran takes startling step believing Trump is 'legitimately mentally ill'[/b]
“Amid the ongoing peace talks between Washington and Tehran, Iranian negotiators have recently enlisted the help of “senior psychologists” to help them navigate what they believe to be a pressing issue involving President Donald Trump, investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill claimed Friday, citing Iranian sources.
“A couple of weeks ago, the Iranian side added senior psychologists to their negotiating team to review the communications that they were going to be sending to the mediators to give to Trump,” Scahill said during an appearance on the podcast “Breaking Points.”

[b]Iran peace deal makes clear how far US has been forced to retreat since 2025—Plan is admission US could not achieve what it sought through war as red line after red line has been erased.[/b]
“Only a man with an unparalleled ignorance of history such as Donald Trump would have signed America’s peace treaty with Iran at Versailles, the byword for national humiliation. And only a man with an impish sense of humour such as Emmanuel Macron would have suggested it.
It is easy to cast Trump in the role of the humiliated and hurt German Count Ulrich von Brockdorff-Rantzau. The treaty of Versailles after all was based on 14 points, just as the memorandum of understanding has 14 clauses.
But the memorandum is not a full-scale surrender document; it is an admission that America could not achieve what it sought through war.”

[b]…and Senate Republicans raise alarm over Trump’s deal with Iran.[/b]
“President Trump’s deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting sanctions on Iran is getting strong pushback from Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill who warn that giving Iran’s theocratic regime access to billions of dollars in economic relief would be a major “blunder.”
Some Republicans are warning that the likely outcome of the more than 100-day conflict is not worth the cost to the nation: the lives of 13 American service members and more than $100 billion spent.
“Ronald Reagan is rolling over in his grave,” fumed Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) in a social media post, calling the war and its outcome the “worst foreign policy blunder in decades.”

Spoiler alert: There is none.”

[b]Pete Hegseth Crashes Out When Confronted With His Own Sworn Testimony.[/b]
“The Trump administration’s narrative on the Iran War is changing by the day.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was caught in his own lie by CBS News’s Margaret Brennan, who reminded him Sunday that America’s depleted missile stockpile was not a media fabrication but actually a material reality that he testified to before Congress.”

[b]Donald Trump Keeps Undermining His Own Agenda, Analysts Say.[/b]
“President Donald Trump keeps clashing with Senate Republicans, creating a pattern of self-inflicted setbacks that is slowing his agenda on Capitol Hill, analysts told Newsweek.
Trump on Wednesday announced that he would pause Jay Clayton’s nomination to serve as director of national intelligence (DNI) until his pick for U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) is approved.
This means acting DNI Bill Pulte will remain in the position for now, complicating the path to pass a bipartisan deal to reauthorize FISA Section 702, which lapsed over the weekend.”

[b]Minister calls out national theater chain for showing Department of War 'propaganda'.[/b]
“The Rev. Chuck Currie, a minister in the United Church of Christ in Portland, complained in a letter to Regal Theaters that he and his family had gone to see Steven Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day” Sunday evening when the 90-second ad touting the U.S. Department of War played before the pre-film trailers.”
…
“The War Department’s “Peace Through Strength” video, which was also played during the White House’s $60 million UFC Freedom 250 exhibition, features dramatic music, a fist-pumping War Secretary Pete Hegseth and a voiceover of President Donald Trump saying, “If you attack the United States of America, we will hunt you down.”
“It was like we were at a movie theater in Russia or North Korea,” Currie wrote in his letter, which he posted on social media. “Democracies do not do this.””

[b]FAFO: Vance: ‘Childless cat ladies’ remark ‘one of the dumbest things I ever said’.[/b]
“During the 2024 presidential race, Vance faced heat for comments he made in 2021 when he was running for an Ohio Senate seat. The vice president told political commentator and then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson the U.S. was being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too. It’s just a basic fact — you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children,” Vance said, referring to a common nickname for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). “And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?”

[b]New lawsuit challenges Trump’s planned 'National Garden of American Heroes'—The suit claims the project ignores laws governing D.C. public land use.[/b]
“President Donald Trump’s attempt to reshape the Washington, D.C., landscape hit another potential roadblock Monday after a group of preservation and cultural heritage organizations filed a federal lawsuit challenging his proposed construction of a “National Garden of American Heroes” in West Potomac Park. 
The lawsuit, filed Monday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, accuses the Department of the Interior and the National Park Service of ignoring a congressional decree that "no new 'commemorative work' shall be located within 'the great cross-axis of the Mall,' an area that includes West Potomac Park."

“The good news about the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool turning greener than Kermit the Frog’s keister is President Donald Trump finally has a swamp to drain.
I’m kidding, there’s nothing funny about algae breaking out all over the Reflecting Pool immediately after President I’m-A-Builder dumped $14.2 million into beautifying the Washington, DC, landmark so it would appear “American Flag Blue.”

[b]Judge orders President Donald Trump’s administration to reverse 'dangerous precedent of censorship and sanitization’[/b]
“A federal judge has issued a sweeping preliminary injunction ordering the Trump administration to reverse what she described as a systematic effort to remove historical and scientific content from national parks — ruling that the deletion of exhibits on slavery, climate change, Indigenous peoples, labor history and civil rights created “a dangerous precedent of censorship and sanitization.”
…

“Kelley ordered the government to restore the removed materials within 21 days, setting a deadline aligned with the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations.
“Because Defendants deemed it important to strip the parks of these undeniable truths in anticipation of the 250th Anniversary of our great Nation, it is equally important that our shared history be honestly told and fully restored by the 250th Anniversary to properly honor the remarkable achievements of the United States,” she wrote.”

[b]Environmental groups on Wednesday sued in an attempt to stop the Trump administration from giving SpaceX more than 700 acres (280 hectares) of wildlife refuge in Texas, claiming it would worsen ecological risks to a Gulf coast region already transformed by billionaire Elon Musk’s rocket operations.[/b]
“The US Fish and Wildlife Service this month approved moving forward with the deal with SpaceX, which would surrender 683 acres (276 hectares) the company owns in exchange for federal land in the Lower Rio Grande Valley national wildlife refuge. The 103,000-acre (41,700-hectare) refuge spans four counties along the Texas border and is home to animal habitats and historical landmarks.”

[b]LOL: Meth Scandal Rocks Nascent Greg Bovino 2028 Campaign.[/b]
“Bovino’s 2028 exploratory run is the brainchild of Jacob Engels, a former protégé of notorious dirty trickster Roger Stone and a Laura Loomer pal who has since turned on them and the rest of Trump world.
…
According to a police incident report obtained by False Flag, sheriff’s deputies in the small Wisconsin town of River Falls were called to a budget motel around 1 p.m. on May 20. Engels must have been starting to catch the notice of law enforcement, because the night before, he and his mother had been arguing so loudly that police had been called to separate them. When the cops showed up again the next afternoon, Engels was refusing to check out of the motel.”

“A four-ton elephant brought into the Texas Republican Party's annual convention to energize delegates became the most talked-about attendee after she unexpectedly urinated on the floor in front of hundreds of people, highlighting the risks of political spectacle in the social media era.
Moments after Governor Greg Abbott finished speaking in Houston on June 12, Paige—an African elephant, the world's largest land mammal—was led into the convention hall draped in campaign messaging. While passing delegates and the media, the fully grown, 9-foot-tall elephant abruptly stopped and relieved herself, as seen in videos posted on social media.”

[b]An Army Whistleblower Believed in Pete Hegseth — Until the Military Covered Up Her Child’s Abuse.[/b]
“Amanda Feindt sat in the fourth row during the Senate confirmation hearing of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. A U.S. Army major and former whistleblower who had submitted a letter supporting his nomination, Feindt listened as Hegseth spoke about troop readiness, military lethality, and protecting military families. Service members and veteran advocates around her wore shirts and hats bearing his name.
While Feindt sat in the Senate chamber, her 4-year-old son was in the military’s care, spending the day at the North Post Child Development Center at Fort Belvoir, in nearby Virginia. There, according to records reviewed by The Intercept, he was subjected to treatment that would leave lasting psychological effects.”

[b]Americans Are Feeling Less Patriotic Ahead of 250th Anniversary.[/b]
“Surveys from PRRI, Pew Research Center, Gallup, NBC News, and Morning Consult point in the same direction: national pride is slipping, pessimism is rising, and younger Americans are pulling away from traditional expressions of patriotism. The newest data from PRRI suggest Americans are not just less patriotic but less certain about what patriotism now means.
…
Meanwhile, Gallup finds pride at a record low of 58 percent; NBC reports that most Americans believe the country’s best years are behind it; Pew shows widespread dissatisfaction with the country’s direction; and Morning Consult highlights a sharp generational divide.”
