A former soldier just set off an incendiary device and fired an airsoft rifle right outside 26 Federal Plaza — the building that houses ICE and immigration courts. This wasn't random. Andrew Arrabaca, a 43-year-old Army veteran and National Guardsman, showed up armed with axes, a machete, knives, fireworks, and a cart reading “ICE off our streets.” He poured flammable liquid, lit the blaze, fired pellets at the building, and told investigators he didn't care if he killed people. The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating it as a potential terror attack. Four people were hurt. Security tackled him. This is where anti-ICE extremism leads when it moves beyond protests. Americans who've watched open borders, sanctuary cities, and nonstop attacks on ICE have seen this radicalization coming — and now it's here.

On the July 20, 2026 edition of The Tara Show, host Tara Servatius covers a comprehensive range of domestic political primary battles, national security concerns, foreign policy developments, and cultural commentary. The broadcast focuses heavily on South Carolina's U.S. Senate primary following the vacancy left by Lindsey Graham, analyzing candidate polling, state GOP dynamics, President Donald Trump's endorsements, and featuring an interview with Republican contender Mark Lynch. Servatius delivers sharp critiques of foreign policy decisions—particularly JD Vance's Memorandum of Understanding with Iran—while grieving recent U.S. troop casualties and highlighting reports of Chinese and Russian targeting assistance. Additionally, the show examines declassified intelligence records pointing to Chinese election interference, details the Department of Justice's activation of the Alien Terrorist Removal Court and plans to debank undocumented immigrants, reviews speech commentary from Stephen Miller, and cautions against civil liberty restrictions and media shifts both domestically and internationally.

In this emotional and critical segment from The Tara Show, host Tara Servatius mourns the tragic loss of three U.S. service members killed in the Middle East, including a 19-year-old private. Servatius forcefully criticizes the administration's foreign policy choices—specifically targeting JD Vance's Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran, the lifting of maritime blockades, and the easing of oil sanctions. She contends that these concessions allowed Iran and Chinese-backed interests to rearm and execute targeted strikes against American forces. Highlighting comments from Representative Riley Moore regarding reports of Chinese and Russian satellite targeting support for Iran, Servatius demands an immediate, uncompromising stance against foreign adversaries and urges an end to diplomatic concessions that put American service members at risk.

In this segment, host Tara Servatius addresses listener texts questioning why Democrats do not face criticism for past foreign interventions or demand the extradition of anti-American terrorists to international courts. Servatius severely critiques the foreign policy approach taken by JD Vance regarding Iran, arguing that the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and lifting of blockades allowed the Iranian regime to rearm with Chinese components, directly leading to recent American service member casualties. Drawing parallels to past military operations under President Barack Obama in Libya, she argues that attempts to normalize or permit missile capabilities for hostile nations jeopardize U.S. troops and undermine national security.

In the final hour of the broadcast, The Tara Show explores political primary dynamics, foreign policy consequences, and cultural commentary. Republican candidate Mark Lynch joins host Tara Servatius to discuss his bid for the U.S. Senate in South Carolina, positioning himself as a business outsider fighting against establishment politics. Servatius then addresses the tragic loss of three U.S. service members in the Middle East, sharply criticizing the administration's Memorandum of Understanding with Iran and accusing China of aiding in targeting attacks against American forces. Turning to ideological critique, she highlights a speech by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller that attributes leftist political motives to envy and hostility toward traditional values. Finally, Servatius turns her focus internationally to warn that new political leadership in the United Kingdom under Andy Burnham will further accelerate civil liberty restrictions, digital identity mandates, and internet surveillance toward totalitarian control.

On the July 20, 2026 edition of The Tara Show, host Tara Servatius breaks down key national security debates and political commentary. She examines Secretary of State Marco Rubio's forceful rejection of International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction, contrasting his defense of U.S. sovereignty with progressive efforts to enforce international warrants against foreign leaders and domestic officials. Servatius also offers a sharp critique of foreign policy decisions under the Trump administration, specifically pointing to JD Vance's Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran, which she argues enabled the regime to rearm and directly led to recent U.S. service member casualties in the Middle East. After sharing a reflective quote from Senator Lindsey Graham on the tendency of political figures to overestimate their competition, the broadcast addresses domestic enforcement measures, highlighting Stephen Miller's announcement of a Trump administration plan to strip undocumented immigrants of access to the American banking system as a catalyst for self-deportation.

RenMac breaks down the vicious unwind in the momentum trade, why a low headline VIX is masking the highest single-stock dispersion the team has ever measured, and how a cooler CPI print does little to stop the Fed conversation from tilting toward a September hike, with inflation, not growth, now owning the reaction function. The team also discusses rising Strait of Hormuz tensions and elevated oil, a looming 25% Brazil tariff, Korea's AI-driven rate hike, yen intervention risk, and the Washington theater around Fed leadership and congressional stock-trading rules.

David Hunter returns to keep us updated on international news and affairs!1) President Trump signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with  Iran's leadership. The MOU included Iran promising to keep the Strait of Hormuz open for commercial shipping.  Then last week,  Iran fired missiles on a commercial ship transiting the Strait.  Wasn't that a gross violation of the MOU? 2) Iran today is again claiming it's sovereignty over the Strait and is blocking passage of commercial ships. Isn't this holding the world hostage by Iran's blockade of free shipping in an international waterway? 3) Trump is attacking Iranian shore radar and missiles in response to Iran's attacking ships in the Strait it claims are not following it's orders. Iran is counterattacking US military bases in Gulf states. The Gulf States claim Iran by counterattacking  is acting in a hostile manner on 'innocent Gulf States'.   4) Vice Pres. JD Vance has accused Israel of mounting a foreign influence campaign to defeat the US-Iran MOU and get US to continue fighting Iran.   Vance also claims Israel is funding a US smear campaign on Vance as Trump's appointed champion of getting the MOU across the finish line.Support the show

The news from Iran is changing almost by the minute. Following the recent conflict, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed, which was widely seen as a capitulation by the White House. How did the Islamic Republic convince the U.S. to stand down?In this conversation, we are joined by Beni Sabti, an Iran expert at The Institute for National Security Studies. He helps us understand what is motivating the Islamic Republic of Iran, and what may come next.

This is an absolute political bombshell that changes everything!

The US and Iran have resumed hostilities, despite last month's memorandum of understanding. President Trump says the military will once again blockade the Strait of Hormuz.For the second time in a week, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed an immigrant. A 26-year-old Colombian man was killed yesterday in Maine. Some Maine elected officials say the victim wasn't the target of an ICE warrant.And a dozen states, led by California, are suing to block Paramount from buying Warner Bros.

Edmund Fitton-Brown — The U.S. is reimposing a naval blockade on Iran after the collapse of the poorly drafted memorandum of understanding; Iran's economy is "choking to death" under these measures, and guests argue the U.S.must prioritize controlling the Strait of Hormuz through international cooperation and naval power.

The political landscape has completely fractured!

The capitulation is officially OVER!

LESS than a month after its introduction, the US revoked General License X, the waiver allowing the sale and transport of Iranian oil granted in the wake of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the two countries. Lloyd's List editor-in-chief Richard Meade and maritime risk analyst Tomer Raanan speak to several sanctions experts to find out if the short-lived waiver benefitted anyone, and why it will take more than just a stroke of the pen to undo decades of legislation aimed at crippling the Iranian economy.

Show recorded on July 13th, 2026: This week on The Third Opinion, Mike and Laureen examine the latest developments in the conflict involving Iran and ask whether the recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran still has any real significance as tensions continue to escalate. The episode explores the rise in antisemitic and anti-Israel rhetoric ahead of the November elections and what those trends could mean for Jewish communities and U.S.-Israel relations. Listeners also hear from the Deputy Chair of Russia's Security Council in an interview with The Times of India, offering Russia's perspective on the conflict with their ally Iran and its broader geopolitical implications. Finally, Mike and Laureen discuss reports that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) detained U.S. officials and a CNN crew while they were in a restricted military area, examining the circumstances surrounding the incident and whether the IDF was justified in its actions. The episode concludes by asking the question on many people's minds: Where do we go from here, and how might these events shape the months leading up to the November elections?

Le esportazioni della Cina hanno raggiunto a giugno il valore record di 412,39 miliardi di dollari, con una crescita del 27% rispetto allo stesso mese del 2025. Lo riferiscono i dati diffusi dall Amministrazione generale delle Dogane. L aumento è nettamente superiore alle attese degli analisti, che prevedevano un incremento del 18,2%, e rappresenta l espansione più sostenuta da febbraio. Nei primi sei mesi dell anno le esportazioni cinesi hanno raggiunto complessivamente 2.120 miliardi di dollari, in crescita del 17,6% rispetto allo stesso periodo del 2025. La Cina ha registrato anche un surplus commerciale record di 125,62 miliardi di dollari, in aumento rispetto ai 113,89 miliardi dello stesso mese del 2025 e anche in questo caso oltre le attese degli analisti, ferme a 121 miliardi. Lo rendono noto i dati diffusi oggi dall Amministrazione generale delle Dogane. Sempre secondo i dati ufficiali dell Amministrazione generale delle dogane, il mese scorso le esportazioni cinesi verso gli Stati Uniti sono aumentate del 13,9% su base annua. Le esportazioni verso gli Usa hanno raggiunto i 43,5 miliardi di dollari, portando il surplus commerciale della Cina con gli Stati Uniti a 28,9 miliardi di dollari. Ne abbiamo parlato con Giuliano Noci, Prorettore del Polo territoriale cinese del Politecnico di Milano. Dal 2011 è dell'Ateneo milanese.Trump su Hormuz: «Vogliamo rimborsi»Il presidente ha anche annunciato che gli Stati Uniti introdurranno un pedaggio del 20% sulle navi cargo che passeranno dallo Stretto, come compensazione per il ruolo americano di garante della sicurezza nell'area. Secondo Trump, Hormuz "è aperto e resterà aperto, con o senza l'Iran" e Washington manterrà operativa la rotta come un "Guardiano dello Stretto". Va ricordato che non esistevano problemi di sicurezza a Hormuz prima che gli Stati Uniti attaccassero l Iran, senza capire che il regime di Teheran avrebbe reagito bloccando lo Stretto. Da allora sono passati oltre cinque mesi e l amministrazione Trump si è rivelata incapace di allentare la presa di Teheran su quel braccio di mare strategico per il petrolio: il Pentagono avrebbe i mezzi, ovvio; ma solo con un operazione navale e di terra così rischiosa, in termini di vite di soldati americani, che la Casa Bianca non osa. Di conseguenza, l Iran capisce che può usare il controllo e possibili pedaggi sul transito da Hormuz come leva per imporre il suo predominio sull area. Del resto l amministrazione americana stessa ha accettato una formula ambigua, nel Memorandum d intesa con Teheran in giugno, che non chiude a questa possibilità.

Rip up the Memorandum of Understanding, the ceasefire is well and truly over. Iran and the United States are once more at war – with oil tankers targeted and the Strait of Hormuz firmly shut.Donald Trump's response? He insists the US will take control of the disputed waterway and act as a "guardian angel" for all ships passing through.Originally, he wanted to charge a 20% toll for the privilege, before backtracking on what seemed like an unworkable claim.But is the US still in danger of being dragged deeper into a long-term conflict with Iran that could have repercussions for the region – and the global economy – for years to come?Niall Paterson is joined by Sky's military analyst Professor Michael Clarke.

The latest U.S.-Iran escalation has put the fragile Memorandum of Understanding under growing strain, with the Strait of Hormuz emerging as the central flashpoint. Tensions continue despite ongoing diplomacy, while both sides are using military pressure and negotiations in parallel to shape the terms of a possible long-term deal.Negar Mortazavi on Aljazeera

After signing a Memorandum of Understanding in June, the U.S. and Iran entered a delicate peace. As negotiators worked toward a permanent deal, one question loomed: Who won the war in Iran — Tehran or Trump? Hours after we concluded a debate on that very question, strikes resumed. By morning, President Trump declared the truce over. Today, we bring you that debate, and the question of who holds the upper hand, and what has been gained and lost, is more pressing than ever.  Note: This debate was recorded on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, before the verbal dissolution of the Islamabad Memorandum and the resumption of military action in the Iran War.  Arguing "Tehran is Winning": Suzanne Maloney, Vice President and Director of Foreign Policy at the Brookings Institution  Arguing "Trump is Winning": Matthew Kroenig, Vice President for Geostrategy and Fellows and Senior Director of the Atlantic Council's Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security  Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates  Join the conversation on Substack—share your perspective on this episode and subscribe to our weekly newsletter for curated insights from our debaters, moderators, and staff.  Follow us on YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and TikTok to stay connected with our mission and ongoing debates.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Iran's rulers fired on commercial vessels attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz -- an egregious violation of the Memorandum of Understanding which now appears to be a dead MOU. That doesn't surprise Zineb Riboua who has always been skeptical of attempts to forge "peace deals" with the Islamist revolutionaries in Tehran. Ms. Riboua, research fellow at the Hudson Institute's Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East and founder of the China in MENA Project, sitsdown with host Cliff May to discuss Iran, Morocco (where she was born), France (where she was went to school), Russia, China, Latin America and the rising ideology -- including in the U.S. -- of Third Worldism.

//The Wire//2300Z July 8, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: MIDDLE EAST CEASEFIRE COLLAPSES AS MAJOR STRIKES REPORTED OVERNIGHT BETWEEN USA AND IRAN. SOMALI CLAN CONFLICT BREWING IN MINNEAPOLIS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Following yesterday's targeting of merchant vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, the United States retaliated by striking many targets within Iran. Several dozen locations were reportedly struck, ranging from naval ports to more substantial bases in the coastal region. Qeshm Island and Kharg Island were struck, in addition to many smaller ports used by IRGCN fastboats.In retaliation, the Iranians conducted strikes on Isa Air Base in Bahrain. Possible strikes were also reported at the former 5th Fleet Headquarters in Manama. Kuwait also reported intercepting 2x ballistic missiles and 13x drones. At least one American MQ-9 drone was also shot down during the night, reportedly somewhere near Bushehr. All total, Iran claims to have conducted 85x strikes in retaliation. As last night's targeting was unfolding, President Trump was still located in Turkey for the NATO summit. During a press conference, he stated that he considered the ceasefire to be over and the Memorandum of Understanding to no longer be in effect. A few hours later, Iranian representatives also stated that the MOU has concluded.-HomeFront-Minnesota: Several small arms engagements have been reported throughout Minneapolis over the past few days. Over the July 4th holiday weekend, several instances of Somali clans targeting each other with fireworks deteriorated from a general nuisance into shootings. A total of four small arms engagements took place Saturday night, and several more shootings have been reported throughout the week, at least one of which took place at a confirmed Somali fraud site, which was being used to launder money until being raided by federal agents earlier this year.Analyst Comment: After the wave of shootings over the weekend, yesterday Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher issued a statement confirming that all of these shootings were linked to the growing conflict between Somali Clans in the city. These concerns have been growing for some time, and now that the summer fighting season is in full swing, these engagements are likely to continue until the colder seasons arrive.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: If the ceasefire in the Middle East really is over, nobody seems to have told the Air Force, as there were a substantial number of refueling tankers on the ground at Al Udeid Airbase in Qater as of 4 days ago. Due to how vulnerable this base is to Iranian missiles, most major engagements have usually been preceded by this specific base evacuating ahead of a large bombing campaign. The major unanswered question is whether or not this was just a particularly heavy mutual targeting effort, or if this marks a true return to the more kinetic phases of the war. At the moment, it's too soon to tell, but there aren't really enough assets in region to conduct large scale bombing campaigns. Most of the B-52's that were stationed in England have already re-deployed back home to the USA, and over the past two weeks various assorted flights of fighter aircraft have also been making their way back home from the Middle East. It's possible that the MOU is being abandoned without the US returning to the full-blown bombing campaign, with the situation remaining in limbo and neither side really working toward a diplomatic solution. President Trump did threaten to invade Kharg Island again, in addition to re-imposing the US blockade in the Gulf of Oman. The blockade is doable with the US Navy vessels in the region, but Kharg Island is completely off the menu as this was not a viable military objective during the height of the "surge" leading to the war, and now that a significant drawdown has occurred it's even less feasible.Concerning merchant shipping, even though the MOU is now essentially defunct, merchant traffic has continued to flow through the Strait of Hormuz, mostly using the Iranian route. This afternoon, Iranian sources claimed that they will be closing the Strait in response to this latest wave of targeting, but as of this evening many vessels continue to transit using the Iranian route with no problems. This may change this evening as President Trump directly stated that more strikes will take place tonight. Pakistan is attempting to get Iran and the US to re-adopt the MOU and continue the framework of solutions that they had worked out. Once the smoke clears in a few days, the world may be able to determine how likely it is for the US to resume the terms of the MOU, but as the bombing has continued throughout the day, peace is not likely at the moment.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Show recorded on July 6, 2026: This week on The Third Opinion, Mike and Laureen tackle several timely issues at the intersection of politics, religion and national security. The conversation centers on the recent Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by the United States and Iran. Mike and Laureen explore why some Israelis oppose the agreement, the ongoing debate over Iran's nuclear ambitions and why Israel's own nuclear capabilities are viewed differently by many in the international community. The episode also examines whether full-time Torah study should continue to exempt Israelis from compulsory service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), a debate that has become increasingly divisive within Israel. Finally, the hosts discuss concerns surrounding the growth of Christian nationalism in the United States and whether it poses a threat to religious freedom and the constitutional separation of church and state.

Beijing has held a meeting to award China's highest sci-tech honors, with President Xi Jinping presenting the top awards (00:59). Large areas of southern China are reeling from flooding triggered by torrential rains from the 10th typhoon to hit the country this year (10:10). US President Donald Trump says he believes the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran is over, following the worst escalation of violence since the deal was implemented (21:04).

Get ready for an absolute bombshell analysis!

The gloves are off and we are refusing to gaslight you!

The Administration announces a "Memorandum of Understanding" for a cease-fire in Iran which analysts are calling a massive concession for Iran as it includes an estimated $300 billion reconstruction and development fund, releases around $25 billion in frozen Iranian assets, leaves Iran in control of the Strait of Hormuz, and removes all sanctions imposed upon the country, allowing them to bring in billions more in oil revenue.

Mary and Andrew start with a deeper dive into the Supreme Court's decision to allow the removal of Temporary Protected Status designations from over 330,000 immigrants from Haiti and Syria — a consequential ruling that affects TPS holders well beyond those who brought the case, leaving over a million people vulnerable to removal. As Andrew notes, this case was based on two claims: one being a statutory challenge that DHS didn't follow the procedures set out by Congress, and the other a constitutional equal protection claim that this TPS status removal was “motivated in part by race” — both of which were struck down 6-3. Then, a look at Trump's latest retribution efforts including the heavy sentences doled out over a protest that ended in a shooting outside the ICE Prairieland Detention Center inTexas one year ago; a felony indictment of former Olympian David Hearn for allegedly tearing part of the liner of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool; and former CIA Director John Brennan going on offense to challenge the DOJ's investigation into him. Plus, Mary and Andrew analyze the DOJ's response to a “show cause” order to unredact some of the Epstein files in a lawsuit filed by journalist Katie Phang.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Lazar Focus. Each Friday, join host diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. Israelis and many Americans -- not to mention Gulf Arabs -- were stunned by the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Trump administration and the Iranians last month. There was much to criticize in the MOU, but one of the most egregious elements was the inclusion of Lebanon in the ceasefire deal. Although neither Israel nor the Lebanese government were signatories to a deal between Washington and Tehran, it specifically mandated a halt to Israel's campaign against Hezbollah, Iran's most powerful proxy. Then, last Friday, a reason for some hope. As a beaming US Secretary of State Marco Rubio looked on, the Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors to Washington signed an agreement envisioning peace between the neighbors and the staged disarming of Hezbollah by the Lebanese army. Could this be the beginning of the end for Hezbollah, the tool of Iranian control of Lebanon? Can we expect a real peace deal that would see Israelis and Lebanese moving across the border? Or is this another half-baked Trump agreement that will lead nowhere, and will allow Israel's enemies to rebuild and keep their weapons? Hanin Ghaddar, a Shiite Lebanese scholar who grew up in southern Lebanon, says that even her community is sick of Hezbollah. The turn against the organization -- which claims to represent and protect the Shia -- began a decade ago, as they sided against anti-government protestors. With the country in a deep economic crisis and political stalemate, the organization dragged the country into war on October 8, 2023, in support of Hamas. The majority of Shiites in Lebanon, said Ghaddar, are done with Hezbollah. "The resistance is dead as a solution to everything," she posited. There's no belief in the resistance anymore. Hezbollah is still there with its arms, and people relate to it because of the factor of fear, not loyalty." Hezbollah dragged Lebanon into a war in support of Iran again this year. Lebanese citizens want Israel out, but see an agreement as the way to accomplish that goal. Ghaddar offered the possibility that the notoriously ineffective Lebanese military is actually more capable than Hezbollah after the Shiite militia was severely degraded by years of war with Israel. However, to disarm Hezbollah, she said, the Lebanese army must be willing to engage in armed conflict if necessary, with the backing of the US, Europe and Saudi Arabia. She made the point that while Israel's relationships with Arab countries are with their governments, the public continues to disdain the Jewish state. In Lebanon's case, the public wants an end to the conflict with Israel, while governments have been loath to act. "Lebanese are ready," she said. "Lebanese are definitely ready for peace."

Hamidreza Azizi joins the show once more to ask a deceptively simple question: is the war over? Azizi argues the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is deliberately vague and fully reversible - sanctions relief hinges on a phone call, the $300 billion investment fund is unfunded, and both Iran and the US are already renegotiating its terms through actions, not words. They dig into Iran's Strait of Hormuz fee gambit, China's calculated non-intervention, Turkey's regional rise, and 80% inflation battering Iran domestically. Azizi's verdict: Iran emerges more resilient, not more powerful, and... you'll have to listen to get the rest!--Timestamps:(00:00) - Welcome and Guest Intro(00:49) - Book Timing and Relevance(03:49) - Is the War Over(05:23) - Iranian View of Ongoing War(11:23) - MOU Favorable to Iran(12:56) - MOU Details and Reversibility(18:48) - Strait of Hormuz Fee Debate(21:05) - Iran Strategy and Leverage Clock(27:57) - Regional Order in Transition(35:46) - China and Great Power Dynamics(42:46) - Turkey and Israel Threat Perception(46:10) - Iran Domestic Fallout and 60 Day Outlook--Referenced in the Show:Hamidreza's Substack - https://www.irananalytica.org/Hamidreza on X - https://x.com/HamidRezaAz--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

As Andrew puts it, Chief Justice John Roberts is “cherry-picking.” He's flying solo in this short edition of Main Justice (more to come with Mary in the next episode). Andrew gives a quick briefing on several of the Supreme Court's most consequential end-of-term rulings, starting with the decision not to hear an appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case. Andrew also touches on the Court's decision to uphold a Mississippi law to allow mail-in ballots that are sent by Election Day to be counted but saves his deepest analysis for two similar cases with opposing decisions: the firings of Lisa Cook and Rebecca Slaughter. While the Court ruled that the Trump administration must have cause to dismiss Cook from the Federal Reserve, it allowed the government to fire Slaughter from the Federal Trade Commission, a decision which Andrew calls deeply flawed showing the conservative majority's support for a “unitary executive.”  And finally, Andrew breaks down the Court's narrow decision to uphold birthright citizenship, and why the tight 5-4 split is the story.

Hussain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss the fragile US-Iran ceasefire and a flawed memorandum concerning the Strait of Hormuz. Roggio argues the agreement effectively grants Iran control, while Haqqani notes GCC countries feel excluded and wary of de-escalation on Iranian terms. The US lacks a plan to force Iranian understanding of consequences. 1

Hussain Haqqani and Bill Roggio examine regional dynamics, noting the Iranian system remains unchanged despite the Supreme Leader's death. Haqqani describes the US-Iran memorandum as a "damp squib" that ignores fundamental security issues. Roggio suggests Saudi Arabia feels "stuck" with the US but may reconsider its primary regional backing. 2
