KAY: There's no commitment in this MOU for Iran not becoming a nuclear state REP. MIKE TURNER: It actually expressly states that- 'the Islamic Republic confirms that it shall not procure or develop nukes' K: Which was the first sentence of the JCPOA, but that was backed up by an inspections regime

As we celebrate Juneteenth, we honor the power and resilience of Black Americans throughout American history. Today is an opportunity to reflect on the progress we’ve made in the fight for freedom and justice, and a reminder that our work is far from over.
A black graphic with text on screen reading, "Celebrating Juneteenth." 'Juneteenth' is in bold letters that gradates from red to yellow to green. A donkey appears at the bottom of the graphic.

Stop calling Neville Trump’s contemptible DocuSign two-pager a deal. It’s not a deal. It’s literally just a memo (an MOU). For that matter, stop calling the memo “bad.” It’s not merely bad—it’s a surrender, by the United States, to the Islamic Republic of Iran. It’s a *historic disaster*.

I thing a lot of the frustration over Polis' clemency for Peters was simply this: Colorado saw the insurrectionists who were convicted being pardoned by Trump, but at least we could say, Colorado is different. We hold people accountable. Polis blew that up. It was insulting to our state pride.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
