- US and Iran Agree to Stop Attacking Each Other — Yet Again
The U.S. and Iran have agreed to stop attacking each other once again, according to new reporting from Axios’s Barak Ravid. “We decided to stop all the kinetic activity,” a senior U.S. official told Axios on Sunday, following a weekend of airstrikes on both sides. A U.S. official confirmed to CNN that both sides still plan to meet Tuesday in Qatar to try to resolve the dispute over the Strait of Hormuz. CNN’s Julia Pembroke reported, “A senior administration official tells me that those talks will continue on as planned. They went on to say this: ‘Nothing has been canceled. Technical talks regarding the implementation of the MOU, the Memorandum of Understanding, are on track for the coming days as planned, and deconfliction channels are up and running after the Lake Lucerne summit.'” Pembroke continued: Now, Secretary of State Marc Rubio had previously said that some of these talks would take place at an expert level on June 30th, just a couple of days away now, and a reminder that last weekend, that’s when Vice President J.D. Vance led these high stakes, high level talks in Switzerland, really kicking off the technical talks and the Memorandum of Understanding, which has been signed by both the United States and Iran, was really just a starting off point because it started this 60 day time period. To get into the details on some of the big issues, like Iran’s nuclear program and the fate of its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. But all of this recent back and forth that’s taken place over the past couple of days, one big moment came Saturday evening when U.S. Central Command confirmed that it had carried out, at the direction of the president, it had carried out additional strikes on multiple targets in response to it said “Iran’s continued aggression.” Now, following that development, [Donald] Trump took to social media and he said that Iran may never learn. And if they didn’t, that if that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran “will no longer exist.” Watch the clip above via CNN.The post US and Iran Agree to Stop Attacking Each Other — Yet Again first appeared on Mediaite.

(Photos via: AP Photo/Alex Brandon and Donald Trump on Truth Social) President Donald Trump shared a sneak preview of the much-publicized and much-maligned White House ballroom he is developing with a series of pictures shared on Truth Social on Sunday. The pictures — which are either computer-generated or AI-generated — show the white building adorned with giant pillars in front. A few staircases and a big platform are also seen, as well as a few “people” walking around the facility. “Our Great National Security Facility and Ballroom is moving along on schedule,” Trump posted. “When completed, there will be nothing like it anywhere in the World!” He also shared some close up pictures that showed the building’s columns have raging lions along the top. You can see some of those pics below: Trump announced the ballroom last year — and it immediately spurred a lot of criticism from liberals and other critics. Many fumed that Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House to make it happen. In April, the president insisted the ballroom was necessary for security reasons after he was targeted in another assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. “What happened last night is exactly the reason that our great Military, Secret Service, Law Enforcement and, for different reasons, every President for the last 150 years, have been DEMANDING that a large, safe, and secure Ballroom be built ON THE GROUNDS OF THE WHITE HOUSE,” Trump said. He continued, “This event would never have happened with the Militarily Top Secret Ballroom currently under construction at the White House. It cannot be built fast enough! While beautiful, it has every highest level security feature there is plus, there are no rooms sitting on top for unsecured people to pour in, and is inside the gates of the most secure building in the World, The White House.” But some liberal pundits don’t buy the security angle — with one even arguing Trump plans to “hunker down” in the ballroom and never leave following the 2028 election.The post Trump Teases Giant White House Ballroom With Flurry of Pics: ‘Nothing Like It!’ first appeared on Mediaite.

screenshots MS NOW’s Joe Scarborough dunked on Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) Sunday for pleading ignorance about inflammatory comments made years ago by a Democratic Socialist who’s running for a New York congressional seat. Scarborough was referring to Murphy’s appearance on Meet The Press earlier in the day, when fill-in host Ryan Nobles asked about Democratic nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier’s past social media posts referring to Joe Biden as a “rapist.” “You’ve talked about this bigger tent. If you’re saying the Democratic Party needs a bigger tent, does that include someone who called a former Democratic President of the United States a rapist?” Nobles asked. Murphy dodged the question, answering, “Yeah, well, I mean, I’m not super familiar with that race.” Scarborough, a former Republican congressman, wrote on X, “This is what frightened Republicans do when confronted with horrid things Donald Trump has said. Now Democratic senators are saying this about a congressional candidate who accused Joe Biden of rape?? Stop. Now.” “Yeah, well, I mean, I’m not super familiar with that race.” This is what frightened Republicans do when confronted with horrid things Donald Trump has said. Now Democratic senators are saying this about a congressional candidate who accused Joe Biden of rape?? Stop. Now. — Joe Scarborough (@ScarboroughNow) June 28, 2026 In a follow-up post, Scarborough wrote, “Senator, does this refresh your recollection? Be better than Trump’s cowards.” Senator, does this refresh your recollection? Be better than Trump’s cowards. https://t.co/fyBEZlRjqr — Joe Scarborough (@ScarboroughNow) June 28, 2026 Chevalier has since deleted the posts and said she “regrets” having made them. Biden was never criminally charged based on verbal accusations made by former Senate staffer Tara Reade, which he has vehemently denied. During the 2020 presidential race, then-President Trump said he found Reade’s allegations to be “convincing.” Three years later, Trump was found civilly liable for sexual abuse and defamation against writer E. Jean Carroll. Some mainstream Democrats have been reluctant to embrace Democratic Socialists like New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), who have been running nationwide on the Democratic ticket. The far-left candidates have gained traction recently in response to Trump’s far-right policies, and have been spurred on by the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Trump has erroneously called Democratic Socialist candidates “communists,” and warned that they pose “a major threat to our country.” Meanwhile, Democratic strategist James Carville has… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Calls to ‘Break Up’ Tech Giants Like Apple Over Pri...Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said it is time to “break up” tech giants like Apple, with the liberal lawmaker saying she is tired of those companies jacking up the price on electronics while average Americans struggle to get by. AOC vented about Big Tech during an interview with Fox News on Sunday. “The problem that we have is these big problems, they think they are governments. They want to be governments,” she said. “They want to have totally unchecked power, and I believe that we need to pursue antitrust.” Ocasio-Cortez continued, “We need to break up a lot of these companies that are far, far too big. And we also need to be instituting consumer protections.” She also ripped the emerging artificial intelligence companies, without naming any in particular. “They are sitting in their private investor calls and they are so giddy about all the people they are going to put out of work,” AOC said. Her comments on the tech giants came soon after Apple hiked prices on several products, including Macbooks and iPads. Some of those increases were as much as $500. Apple blamed the higher prices on the “rapid expansion of AI data centers” that has “created an extraordinary surge in demand for memory and storage.” CEO Tim Cook told The Wall Street Journal the hikes were “unavoidable.” The company’s stock price took a hit right after the hikes were announced. Apple’s stock dropped from about $301 at the start of last week to $283.78 per share at the end of the week. It remains the second most valuable company, with a market cap of $4.17 trillion. “Now your ability to buy laptops, computers, iPads, electronics in general is going to go up, because data centers are sucking up all of our own industrial supply,” AOC added. “In a lot of ways, we are subsidizing the development of a lot of these pieces of these AI data centers.” Watch above.The post Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Calls to ‘Break Up’ Tech Giants Like Apple Over Price Hikes first appeared on Mediaite.

- Maggie Haberman Says JD Vance Was the Only One ‘Rattling the Cages’ With Tru...New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman told Meet The Press Sunday that J.D. Vance was the only person really “rattling the cages” with President Donald Trump on Iran. Haberman and co-author Jonathan Swan spoke about the dynamic between Vance and Trump as put forth in their new book, Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. NBC News’s Ryan Nobles, in for Kristen Welker, read a passage that said, “Vance believed a regime change war with Iran would be a disaster. In front of his colleagues, he warned Trump that a war with Iran could break apart his political coalition and would be seen as a betrayal by many voters who had bought into the promise of no new wars.” “How did Vice President Vance, his willing to push back, affect his standing with Trump?” Nobles asked. “So, It’s an interesting dynamic because he was not the only person who opposed this war in Trump’s world, to be clear,” Haberman began. “In our reporting, and we write about this in the book, none of Trump’s senior advisors, none of his Cabinet, thought this was a good idea. But we should make clear that the people who were let into these discussions were so tiny as a group that it excluded the Treasury secretary and the Energy secretary, the people who would have to manage the after effects of an energy fall-out from this war, because they were concerned about leaks.” Haberman continued: But Vance was the only one who really vocally took issue with this with Trump. And it irritated Trump, it cost Vance with Trump, but he was the only person who was really sort of rattling the cages. There were other advisors who did make cases against this. We should note that Dan Caine did lay out the scenarios for what could happen, munitions depletion, which clearly the U.S. has seen in a real way despite the fact that the administration keeps insisting otherwise. The fact that Iran could close the Strait of Hormuz. So, the president will keep saying he wasn’t warned — he absolutely was warned. But Dan Caine is not Mark Milley of Term 1. He is not engaging in these angry arguments with Donald Trump, and you see that play out. Her interview came shortly after Trump branded her “Magot” and said her book with Swan was “mostly made up.” Watch… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
