Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday said he thinks the tentative deal between the U.S. and Iran will fail. “If you don’t have a diplomatic path through the MOU, then you have to go to war, or some other form of coercion,” Graham told CBS News’s “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan, referring to the…

Jeanine Pirro's wild threat over Reflecting Pool sparks mockery: 'Going to get hilarious'
Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C., issued a wild threat to a prominent journalist during a recent interview on Fox News with Peter Doocy that was sharply mocked by political analysts and commentators. Doocy asked Pirro on "The Sunday Briefing" whether ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl would face criminal charges after he held up a piece of the peeling Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool during a recent report. The question came at a time when the Trump administration is trying to find a scapegoat for the shoddy renovation work, the cost of which had ballooned to more than $14 million from the initial projections of $1.8 million, according to reports. "Judge, is Jonathan Karl from ABC in trouble?" Doocy asked. "It depends," Pirro said. "Anyone who is in a position of vandalizing or attempting to vandalize the reflecting pool will face the criminal justice system."Pirro's comments were sharply mocked online by observers who noted that Pirro's prosecutorial record suggests that any case against Karl may be over before it begins. "One thing @USAttyPirro will have to do to prosecute these cases is prove there was damage -- that is, prove the value of the so-called fixes, and prove they were still in place when the alleged damage happened," journalist Marcy Wheeler posted on X. "That's going to get hilarious quickly.""They are literally nuts. America is being run by a bunch of wild, lying, conspiracy theory-loving hooligans!" opinion columnist Sophia Nelson posted on X. "What are the odds we ultimately hear this got attempted and no-true-billed?" CNN senior political reporter Aaron Blake posted on X. "I know I feel safer!" Dean Baker, senior economist at the Center for Economic & Policy Research, posted on X. Doocy: Is Jonathan Karl in trouble?Pirro: Anyone who is in a position of vandalizing or attempting to vandalize the reflecting pool will face the criminal justice system.

Trump accused of burying a report he ordered because it proved him wrong: 'Going to lie'
A former GOP congressman is calling out a failed Trump administration investigation into voter fraud.Adam Kinzinger described how Trump set out to prove "stolen elections," specifically by looking at voting machines. Ultimately, the investigation failed to dig up any instances of fraud, Kinzinger said.He was referring to a probe that stemmed from a Trump executive order from last year, according to Reuters, which broke the exclusive. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence produced the report, but Reuters reported that it found no evidence that machines that will be used in the midterms caused votes to flip."They found that not a single vote was switched anywhere," Kinzinger said. "They have this report, but what are they doing? They're delaying the release of the report."He blasted that, "instead of being grown-ups and admitting it, they are not releasing the report. It's been delayed," and lamented, "They're going to lie, and when they find out they lied, they'll never admit it."

Trump floats convoluted plot to ‘discombobulate unpatriotic’ press: ‘They'll go crazy!’
President Donald Trump floated a plan Saturday that he hoped will “totally discombobulate” journalists and make them “go totally crazy” – a plan he asked his supporters for feedback on in a post on social media.That plan, as Trump explained, would be to rename Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the “National Immigration and Customs Enforcement" (NICE), an idea he floated last month to little fanfare. Such an action would require approval from Congress, something that appears unlikely given Republicans’ razor-thin majority.“The concept I have had for quite some time – A strong feeling that the name of these Patriots, ‘ICE,’ should be changed to, ‘NICE,’ in that it will totally discombobulate Crooked, Dishonest, and Unpatriotic Reporters and Journalists,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “For them to say, ‘We went to a NICE Facility today,’ as opposed to ‘ICE’ or, ‘NICE Agents have deported a Violent Drug Dealer,’ they won’t be able to handle it, they will go totally crazy! Everyone loves it, but I have been told by the legendary Tom Homan that the Agents do not love it as much as the other population. Who thinks that we should add an ‘N’ to change the name of ‘ICE’ to ‘NICE?’”Just as he had done about an hour earlier, Trump also included a poll in his social media post to gauge his supporters’ thoughts on the matter. As of 10:40 a.m. ET, 81% of Trump’s followers indicated they supported the name change.Trump’s two polls come amid the tentative peace deal between Washington and Tehran falling apart, with Iranian military officials announcing earlier Saturday morning that the Strait of Hormuz was, again, closed to commercial traffic citing a violation of the agreement.

DOJ new slush fund move amounts to telling federal judge 'to go pound sand': legal expert
The Department of Justice is refusing to swear that the Trump slush fund is dead in a new court filing flagged by a legal analyst.Last week, federal judge Leonie Brinkema indefinitely blocked the $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund, which critics worried would have paid Trump allies, and gave the DOJ until June 19th to file a declaration swearing it wouldn't move forward with the fund under penalty of perjury.DOJ lawyer Andrew Block submitted a new court filing on June 19th, but "not the one the judge instructed, not the one that she wanted," Legal AF host Michael Popok said in an update.Instead, the DOJ "created a new piece of paper to effectively go tell the judge to go pound sand," Popok said, also describing it as a "Go F yourself submission."Brinkema wanted the signatures of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward on that declaration, "the three people who created the anti-weaponization fund," Popok noted.According to the filing, a declaration not to move forward with the slush fund is "unnecessary and the compelled testimony of senior officials from the Executive Branch implicates serious separation of powers concerns."It goes on to argue, "The Acting Attorney General has testified before Congress that the Fund is 'not going forward, period.'""That should be enough, right?" Popok joked. "Judge Brinkema said a version of, yeah, we're in a courtroom. You need to bring in evidence. We operate on evidence and testimony, not on statements made outside the courtroom."Trump Squeals and Has AG Blanche Refuse to Testify to Federal Judge! by Legal AFRead on Substack
