May 29, 2026The war in Iran and the rising cost of living are costing Trump support, While there is talk of an agreement with Iran, there are no signs that it is real, Public opinion is causing support to dwindle for Trump's wish to be on the face of a new $250 bill, Trump lost in court on changing the name of the Kennedy Center and on closing the center for two years, Trump's plans for a Freedom 250 celebration are fizzling, too, The Department of Justice has been temporarily stopped from creating or operating Trump's $1.776 billion slush fund, Thirty-five federal judges have asked US District Judge Williams to reopen the legal case that the Trumps brought against the IRS, Trump and his loyalists are taking other actions, some of which have the potential to have wide repercussions.

Silicon Bites Ep342 | 2026-05-24 | How a $30 million Russian terror weapon destroyed a row garages. This is absolutely symbolic of Putin senseless war, that has no strategic purpose, beyond control and cruelty, and has singularly failed to meet even its own pointless objectives. But apart from the performative terror, the array of drones and missiles Russia flung at the capital Kyiv, did inflict widespread damage, and loss of property, including Kyiv's Chornobyl Museum, and a historic market that has resonance for many people that live in, or who grew up in Kyiv. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

“Iran's nuclear program was obliterated” is a bold claim to make under oath, especially when the same testimony implies Iran's ambitions remain. We sit down with Jim Webb to pull apart the contradictions, the messaging, and the strategy vacuum that shows up when leaders sell total victory while hinting we may need the next round of strikes. We get into the details most coverage skips: what uranium enrichment levels do and don't mean, how the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty shapes the argument, and how the U.S. exit from the JCPOA changed Iran's incentives. From there, we stress-test the scare stories by looking at deterrence and mutually assured destruction, then compare the “North Korea path” framing with the darker lesson many governments took from Libya: give up your leverage and you might not survive. The second half turns practical and blunt. We talk about the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices, and what a real negotiation might require, including the controversial question of U.S. military bases in the Middle East and whether they deter conflict or simply create targets and hostages. We also break down reports of deploying Dark Eagle hypersonic missiles, shrinking standoff-munitions inventories, and what it signals when targets move inland and our “easy options” disappear. If you care about U.S. foreign policy, Iran negotiations, Middle East escalation risks, and the real state of American military capacity, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review with your answer: what would a realistic endgame with Iran look like?

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Trump vowed to keep US troops in the Persian Gulf ahead of talks with Iran that are planned to firm up a fragile truce, while Tehran warned there may be mines in a strategic waterway Washington wants reopened. Both sides accused each other of violating the truce that was announced Tuesday after six weeks of fighting, with a disagreement over whether the ceasefire extends to Lebanon emerging as a key flashpoint that could unravel the accord. Despite the escalating rhetoric, there were signs the ceasefire was largely holding, with a notable decline in attacks across Arab states in the Persian Gulf. Vice President JD Vance said Washington never suggested that fighting between Israel and Tehran-aligned Hezbollah in Lebanon would cease. But Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf said continued attacks on Hezbollah — along with what Tehran described as an Israeli drone strike on its territory overnight — amounted to clear violations of the agreement.2) President Trump lashed out at NATO after meeting with the military alliance’s secretary general, Mark Rutte, making clear that his anger over the organization’s stance on the Iran war remained acute. “NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON’T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN. REMEMBER GREENLAND, THAT BIG, POORLY RUN, PIECE OF ICE!!!” the president wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday evening. Rutte, a former Dutch prime minister, was in the US on a mission to temper Trump’s public displeasure after NATO allies refused to help him protect commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz or let the US use some of their bases to attack Iran during the war that began on Feb. 28. Trump has also revived his grievance that NATO countries wouldn’t give him Greenland, a Danish territory.3) A growing number of Federal Reserve officials worried the Iran war could further stoke inflation and wanted to make clear following their March meeting that the central bank may have to consider raising interest rates. Minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee’s March 17-18 meeting, released Wednesday in Washington, showed policymakers wrestled with starkly differing scenarios for the US economy following the outbreak of the Iran war, and the policy reactions that might follow. Most officials worried a protracted war could hurt the labor market and warrant lower interest rates. At the same time, many policymakers highlighted the risk to inflation that might ultimately warrant rate increases.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Decoding America is a new weekly podcast from Guardian Australia hosted by Reged Ahmad with Jonathan Yerushalmy, one of our editors on the international desk. It will peel back the surface of Trump's America, decoding the undercurrents of United States' democracy. In this first episode we look at Trump's growing frustrations and threats to take out Iran in “one night” in a surreal weekend of condemning allies like Australia, social media posts and White House Easter celebrations. Jonathan also takes us through a now deleted speech which reveals the US president's growing frustration with allies, the US public and how far removed we might be from the US of old.
Donald Trump has said he is considering pulling the US out of Nato, likening the alliance to a ‘paper tiger'. It comes after weeks of denouncements from the US president against allies for not helping to reopen the strait of Hormuz. When asked about Trump's comments, Keir Starmer said: ‘Nato is the single most effective military alliance the world has ever seen' and ‘whatever the noise, I'm going to act in the British national interest in all the decisions that I make'.

United States President Donald Trump has lashed out at European allies for what he says is a lack of support on Iran. As diplomatic ties strain over the war, Iran says the time for negotiations has passed, warning Europe not to get involved.
Iran has fired hundreds of missiles and drones at targets across the Middle East, after announcing that its Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been killed in US-Israeli attacks. At least 200 people -- most of whom were at a girls' school in the country's south -- have been reported killed in Iran. Three US service personnel have been killed in Iran's response, as well as ten people in Israel. Donald Trump has suggested that Iran's new leadership wanted to talk. Meanwhile, UK government officials are understood to be working on plans to potentially evacuate British nationals from the Middle East.

Tonight, we're breaking down a major decision from the Supreme Court of the United States blocking Donald Trump's tariffs and declaring them illegal. This comes after Trump repeatedly insisted he had the authority to impose them on his own. The Court said otherwise. Trump is furious, but this ruling raises a bigger question about limits on executive power and whether the constitutional guardrails are still holding. Is this a turning point? A rare institutional check in a turbulent political era? Tonight we break down what the decision means for democracy, the economy, and what could come next.

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the debut Bat for Lashes album, Fur and Gold, we take a detailed look at how it was made. Natasha Khan had grown up in Hertfordshire, England and studied art at the University of Brighton. After graduating, she taught as a schoolteacher while writing songs and performing as Bat for Lashes. Her manager, Dick O'Dell, got her a publishing deal and connected her with producer David Kosten to work on some demos. The first Bat for Lashes single, “The Wizard” was released on her own label in early 2006. After signing with Echo, Natasha and David began working on a full-length album together at Jacobs studio in the Surrey countryside. They brought in other musicians, including Abi Fry and Caroline Weeks, who had been playing as a group with Natasha at this time. Fur and Gold was eventually released in 2006. In this episode, Natasha Khan and David Kosten have an in-depth conversation where they revisit their initial collaboration that continued long after this record. David shares how he was first asked to co-write with Natasha until he realized she had no interest in co-writing and already had a fully formed vision for this album. Natasha describes wanting to create the world of the album and use unconventional recording techniques, such as recording in a forest and under blankets, to try to achieve the sound she had imagined. Even though Natasha had a fondness for lo-fi MIDI sounds, she worked with David to craft a unique hybrid of well-recorded acoustic instruments with lower quality digital components. The result was the Mercury Prize-nominated Fur and Gold, which launched Natasha's music into the world. From a cinematic approach of method acting and practical effects, to a shared love of girl groups, to David finding a CD-R meant for another producer, to a memorable tour with Devendra Banhart, to taking inspiration from contemporaries Cat Power, Joanna Newsom and Gwen Stefani, to being averse to anything trip-hop, to having high standards and holding the vision, we'll hear the stories around how the album came together.
