President Donald Trump talks about the new interim peace deal reached with Iran while meeting with the French president at the G7 summit. “The main thing is that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.

The Supreme Court declined to revive a lawsuit Carter Page, a former aide for President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, brought against former FBI officials, including former Director James Comey, over the government’s secret spying on him as part of the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation. The high court did not elaborate on its decision not to take […]
The prospect of a reopened Strait of Hormuz and a pending U.S.-Iran peace deal could help ease the big inflation risk hanging over Kevin Warsh's first Federal Reserve meeting as chairman."Ships are starting to move, many loaded up with Oil, out of the Strait of Hormuz," President Trump said Monday morning in a post on Truth Social.Friction point: Lingering disruptions to shipments of oil, fertilizer and other industrial inputs could keep inflation concerns alive at the Fed.What they're saying: "Sailing through the strait will remain riskier and more costly than before the war," Oxford Economics' Ben May wrote in a note Monday morning. May noted that damage from underwater mines or a sudden re-escalation of the conflict will keep insurance coverage for the strait higher than pre-war levels. Reuters reported Monday morning that ensuring the strait is safe from mines could take weeks. "Physical flows are still likely to recover gradually rather than immediately, even if prices respond more quickly to signs that a credible reopening deal is in place," May wrote.The bottom line: The peace deal might reduce geopolitical risk, though the effects on global supply chains might come more slowly.
Republican senators have been frustrated they can't escape the SAVE America Act — even after multiple attempts to kill the legislation.For months, the conservative voting bill has pitted GOP lawmakers in a battle over the legislation that would require voters to show photo ID in order to vote, and would change mail-in voting and require proof of citizenship to register to vote, according to a NOTUS report on Monday. The bill doesn't have the votes in the Senate to pass it."This has left members miffed — they want to finally turn the page, but are again faced with a zombie," NOTUS reported."It just keeps coming back," an unnamed Senate Republican told NOTUS. "It’s like the 'Night of the Living Dead.'"President Donald Trump has pushed Republicans to back the bill and made it a focal point throughout 2026. Right-wing influencers have also pressured conservative lawmakers in an ongoing campaign, NOTUS reported."Not only have they called for the bill to pass, but they have used it as part of a blitz to push Senate Republicans to nix the chamber’s 60-vote threshold and institute a 'talking' filibuster," according to NOTUS.That move tanked and a number of Republican senators said they would not try to weaken the filibuster."There is a frustration," the Senate Republican told the outlet. "It’s not just the president. We have other members who keep pushing this when they know … we don’t have the votes. I don’t know how you can be more clear than that.""I don’t know why they keep pushing something that’s basically not possible," the lawmaker said."It doesn’t get us votes. Literally, we lose votes with it," another unnamed Senate Republican told NOTUS.
A former national security official during President Donald Trump's first term sharply criticized his agreement with Iran to end hostilities.Miles Taylor, who served as National Security Council chief of staff in the first Trump administration, told MS NOW's Stephanie Ruhle that none of the terms the 80-year-old president had reached with Iran improved the situation from before he decided to launch the war in February."I'm going to go out there on a limb and say that I think this is on track to be the worst deal in American diplomatic history," Taylor said. "We don't have the text yet, but it's very, very hard to imagine there is a deal here that's any better than the deal we already had. In fact, if the initial reporting is to be believed, the Iranians think that they're on a pathway to get $24 billion in assets unfrozen, that would be more than 10 times what the Obama administration effectively helped unlock for the Iranians.""So put it another way we're paying 10 times, potentially paying 10 times what we did before to get the same promise from the Iranians, and in international law, there's nothing that you can say about their commitment to not pursue nuclear weapons," he added. "That's stronger than a promise. There is no global police force to require the Iranians to not pursue a bomb. So all we could get, the best we could get is a promise from the Iranians, a promise we already had and once."Taylor had a front-row seat to a decision that Trump made in his first term that set the war in motion."Donald Trump threw out [the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] in the first administration, when I was there," Taylor said. "I can remember the frustration of staff when Donald Trump did not have any plan to replace the Obama deal with tore it up, and now here we are again, potentially on the pathway to unlocking 10 times as much money for the Iranian regime to get the same agreement that we had previously.""Now, again, the devil will be in the details," he added, "but I have a feeling we're going to see the devil." - YouTube youtu.be
The Federal Reserve faces a simple challenge at its June meeting: Do not mistake an energy shock for an overheated economy. For much of the past year, I have argued that lower interest rates would support small businesses, encourage investment, and improve economic growth. The recent surge in energy prices has altered the near-term policy […]
The pace of the recovery will depend on how confident companies are that the deal between the United States and Iran will hold and be extended.
