Summary

Today’s Headlines: President Trump called for a ceasefire between Iran and Israel Monday night—then accused both sides of not knowing “what the fuck they’re doing” after the ceasefire didn’t immediately happen.  By Tuesday, a fragile truce emerged, though both sides warned they’d resume attacks if provoked. Trump also abruptly tweeted that China could keep buying Iranian oil—despite his prior threats—after they helped keep the Strait of Hormuz open. Meanwhile, a leaked classified report revealed that U.S. airstrikes only set back Iran’s nuclear program by a few months, not the “total obliteration” Trump implied. The White House dismissed the report as inaccurate and “demeaning.” In Florida, construction has started on a bizarre new 1,000-bed immigration detention center—dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz”—deep in the Everglades, where escapees would allegedly face only pythons and gators. Toy prices are spiking due to tariffs on Chinese goods, rising faster than inflation. At the same time, nearly 2 million student loan borrowers may soon see wage garnishment as Trump-era loan collections ramp back up. House Democrats elected Rep. Robert Garcia as their new ranking member on the Oversight Committee, while the late Rep. Gerry Connolly’s official account mysteriously posted an endorsement from beyond the grave.
