Rubio Sees 'Slight Progress' in US-Iran Talks  Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday there was "slight progress" during talks with Iran amid uncertainty as to whether a deal will be reached or war will resume. He spoke days after President Donald Trump said he was holding off on a military strike on Iran because "serious negotiations" were underway. Trump has been threatening for weeks that the ceasefire reached in mid-April could end if Iran does not make a deal, with shifting parameters for striking such an agreement. Rubio spoke ahead of a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Helsingborg, Sweden, where the the military alliance is expected to discuss what role it could play in helping police the Strait of Hormuz once the war is over. Rubio said he didn't want to exaggerate the progress, saying there had been "a little bit of movement and that's good." He said the conversations were ongoing. Still, in recent weeks there have been repeated claims of progress, yet a deal has not been reached.
Qatari negotiation team visits Tehran to help US reach 'final deal' to end the war, official says  A Qatari negotiation team is in Tehran on Friday and Saturday "to support the U.S. to reach a final deal that would end the war and address outstanding issues with Iran," an official with knowledge of the visit told Fox News' Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst. The development comes after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday that “slight progress” has been made towards a deal with Iran, but vowed that Tehran “can never have a nuclear weapon.” “On the issue of Iran. The news this morning, I know it's early still in the United States, a little later in the region, in the Middle East, but we await word on those conversations that are ongoing. There's been some slight progress, I don't want to exaggerate it, but there's been a little bit of movement, and that's good,” Rubio said during a visit to Sweden for a meeting of NATO's foreign ministers. Iran Funneled $850 Million Through Binance  Roughly $850 million flowed through cryptocurrency exchange Binance as part of a covert financial network tied to Iranian financier Babak Zanjani, according to an investigation by The Wall Street Journal. Investigators concluded that hundreds of millions of dollars may have ultimately supported Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and allied proxy groups. Internal Binance compliance reports showed the transactions occurred over a two-year period through accounts linked to Zanjani's crypto firm, Zedcex — up until as recently as December 2025, according to the Journal.
Dem candidate who called for imprisoning 'Zionists' blames her own party, media for backlash Hakeem Jeffries and DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene blamed Republicans for 'propping up' the candidate  The Democratic House candidate under fire for recommending imprisonment for "American Zionists" blamed journalists and her own party for allegedly mischaracterizing her as wanting to create a holding center for "American Zionists" and a purported castration facility. In an Instagram post last week, South Texas sex therapist Maureen Galindo proposed legislation that would repurpose a federal detention facility to imprison "American Zionists." In other posts, she also accused her Democratic runoff challenger, Bexar County Sheriff’s Office Johnny Garcia, of being paid to put "Jews and Mexicans in concentration camps via Zionist trafficking networks." In a social media video posted Thursday, Galindo blamed journalists for mischaracterizing her comments and said she has received threats and hate mail. She also sought to set the record straight about her reference to using an ICE facility in her district. "I’m sorry to all journalists if I missed your email or social media message, it got lost in a wave of hundreds of death threats and the most vile things. I'm in Texas, I know MAGA. This is worse than MAGA, that's because MAGA and Zionism is religious overtaking of government," Galindo said. Trump champions bid to nix clock changes by adopting permanent daylight saving time 'It will also be a very nice WIN for the Republican Party. Take it!' Trump asserted  President Donald Trump is championing the prospect of putting the kibosh on twice-annual clock changes by making daylight saving time permanent. A bill to make daylight saving time permanent has been folded into a larger measure that the House Energy and Commerce Committee advanced in a 48-1 vote on Thursday. "Big Vote today (48-1!) in the Energy and Commerce Committee on a Bill including The Sunshine Protection Act, which will be making Daylight Saving Time Permanent! This is so important in that Hundreds of Millions of Dollars are spent every year by people, Cities, and States, being forced to change their Clocks. Many of these Clocks are located in Towers, and the cost of renting, or using, Heavy Equipment to do this twice a year is prohibitive!" Trump wrote in a Thursday Truth Social post. Warsh Takes Fed Helm Amid Inflation Fears  Kevin Warsh, whose broad criticism of current U.S. Federal Reserve officials, playbook for rate cuts, and ties to President Donald Trump elevated him past other contenders to lead the central bank, will be sworn in as Fed leader Friday at a pivotal moment for monetary policy and the American economy. An unfolding boom in artificial intelligence technology is reshaping the economy in ways Fed officials say could be profound for workers, companies, and consumers, but will be hard for Warsh and his colleagues to assess in real time. At the same moment, inflation is already high and potentially heading higher as the economy copes with shocks including oil driven over $100 a barrel by the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, high import tariffs, and utility and some other costs rising due to the AI rollout.
Former Dem megadonor blasts 2024 autopsy as waste of time, says reasons for loss are obvious John Morgan listed DEI, transgender athletes and border security as the real reasons voters rejected Democrats in 2024  A former Democratic megadonor blasted his party’s newly released election autopsy, arguing the party doesn't need a lengthy report to understand why voters rejected them. John Morgan, who has previously given over a million dollars to the Democratic Party, revealed he didn’t give "a penny" to the 2024 campaign once Vice President Kamala Harris took the helm. Morgan argued the DNC’s post-mortem report misses the mark, failing to address the party’s decision to embrace certain progressive social issues. He laid out that he believes the Democratic Party’s decision to embrace issues such as transgender athletes and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives hurt the party’s chances at the ballot box. "One, DEI is D-E-A-D. Two, woke needs to be put to sleep. Three, transgender swimmers don't get to swim against girls, it's unfair. Four, you need to seal the border tight. And five, anything to do with Kamala or her staff," Morgan said. VA Sec. Collins: Memorial Day Is 'Moment of Reflection'  Memorial Day offers Americans "a moment of reflection for sacrifice," Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins told Newsmax on Friday. Appearing on Newsmax's "Wake Up America," Collins urged Americans to remember that Memorial Day is set aside specifically to honor the men and women who died defending the nation — not simply the unofficial start of summer. "Memorial Day is not Veterans Day," Collins said. "Veterans Day is when we honor all who served. Memorial Day is a very specific time in which we honor those who gave all, who did not come home." Why DNC’s belated 2024 election ‘autopsy’ term paper warrants a ‘D’ grade By Rich Lowry
The Democrats couldn’t complete their term paper, but handed it in anyway because too many people were wondering what had become of it. Under pressure, the DNC finally released its autopsy of the 2024 election, after rampant speculation about what it contained and why it hadn’t yet been made public. It turns out that it’s a thoroughly unimpressive, unfinished document that, in the sheer incompetence in its drafting and handling, says more about the low state of the current Democratic Party than any of its analysis. DNC Chairman Ken Martin maintains he delayed so long because he didn’t want to create a distraction by releasing a poorly done report, which sounds like a typical Washington excuse for hiding something. Except it wasn’t. Jamie Dimon puts Mamdani on notice that New York needs to ‘survive and grow’ By Post Editorial Board
It took a few days, but JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon finally offered some hard words on Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s scapegoating of successful New Yorkers. “You can talk about morality and ideology all you want, but if things don’t get better, you didn’t do a good job,” Dimon bluntly warned the mayor in a Bloomberg TV interview Thursday. In an echo of his earlier, too-polite in-person comments to Mamdani, he added: “Hopefully he’ll learn,” because “I want him to do a good job.” Unlike City Hall’s boy Bolshevik, the 70-year-old Wall Street titan knows what it takes to make the Big Apple prosperous. |
