US-Iran War LIVE Updates: Protests erupted in Iran after a memorandum of understanding was reached with the US to bring peace to the Middle East region, with people calling Iranian leaders Abbas Araghchi and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf “compromisers”.

Trump said the deal will be signed by the two sides on Friday in Geneva, after which the Strait of Hormuz will be opened and operated without fees. “Ships are starting to move, many loaded up with Oil, out of the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump said, adding later that he did not “think we will need much help” keeping the waterway open. Iran has continued to voice its lack of trust in Washington. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said a “final agreement” will be reached within two months, deliberations over which will include aspects like the nuclear programme and Tehran’s $25 billion frozen assets.

The deal has brought differences between the US and Israel out in the open, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying Israeli troops would remain in Lebanon, Gaza, and Syria for “as long as necessary”. He said that the military campaign against Iran had spared his country from the threat of “nuclear annihilation”. He pledged that Iran would never be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons, regardless of the terms of any agreement.

The African American Contractors Association is raising concerns about unpaid bills from building the Obama Presidential Center.

The hulking mass of stone, which reportedly cost nearly $1 billion, will open this week.

However, contractors are alleging they have not been fully paid for all the work. At the same time, the chair of the Illinois Republican Party says the center’s finances could leave taxpayers on the hook for repairs down the road.

Fox News reported:

Outside the center last week, Adamson Plumbing President Mike Owen provided company spreadsheets to Fox News Digital, which he said showed that his firm is nearly $4 million in the red. He said that unnecessary rework, delays and more than 100 change-order requests left his company absorbing millions of dollars in additional costs.

In addition, Omar Shareef, the president of the African American Contractors Association, told Fox News Digital outside the center last Saturday that several Black-owned contractors are also in financial difficulty due to the project.

Jihadi Mayor Zohran Mamdani gutted legal protections for Jewish New Yorkers in his first hours in office, then his administration illegally buried the records that could expose why City Hall did it, who helped shape the decision, and how far its anti-Israel agenda now reaches, a new lawsuit alleges.

The suit, filed in New York State Supreme Court by veteran investigative journalist Richard Behar, seeks to force the city and Mamdani to turn over public records tied to Executive Order No. 1, the mayor’s Jan. 1, 2026 order rescinding a series of executive orders issued by former Mayor Eric Adams after the October 7 terrorist attacks on Israel and ensuing explosion of anti-Jewish bigotry across the U.S.

Adams’ orders created the Mayor’s Office to Combat Antisemitism, adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, barred city participation in BDS-style discrimination against Israel, protected Israeli investments and economic ties, and directed enhanced NYPD protections for houses of worship.

Mamdani wiped those protections out on day one.

California is “too gay to function.” And if you are surprised by this, you are not paying attention.

According to Chris Rufo, in California, the left is prioritizing contracts for “state-certified gay-owned businesses.” It is unclear how your business can get certified in gayness, but I digress.

Per City Journal:

In 1986, Governor George Deukmejian signed Assembly Bill 3678, which required certain CPUC-regulated utilities to submit annual “plans” for buying goods and services from woman- and minority-owned companies. Two years later, CPUC created its “Supplier Diversity Program,” which would enforce the law and set contracting “goals” for large utilities.

Under a series of Democratic governors, the program has expanded to include gay-owned businesses. In September 2014, then-Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation requiring CPUC to recognize “LGBT-owned businesses” as eligible for supplier-diversity benefits. Five years later, Governor Gavin Newsom expanded the program further, “encouraging” other companies involved in the energy sector to award contracts to gay-owned firms.

Question: How has this mandate made residents better off? When mandating certain insignificant preferences be prioritized when awarding special contracts, the state ought to be held to some accountability. Why does no one care?

By 2022, CPUC had fully implemented the expansion. In practice, this meant establishing a “goal” for utility companies with annual revenues exceeding $25 million to buy things from state-certified LGBT businesses: 0.5 percent of procurement in 2022; 1 percent in 2023; and 1.5 percent in 2024 and beyond. If “large” CPUC-regulated utilities met these “goals” in 2024, they would have sent roughly $633 million to LGBT-owned firms.

Tuesday on MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said that if Democrats win the majority in the midterms, they will subpoena private-sector people who worked with President Donald Trump in his second term.

Host Jen Psaki asked, “Should the Senate be, should the Democrats be in the majority and decide to investigate or look into Patel? I mean, you are one of the many people who have been targeted by Trump’s Justice Department under Trump’s direction, as we’ve all seen it. One another person, who announced yesterday that he was being targeted is, of course, Governor Gavin Newsom. I know you spoke with some of my colleagues about that last night, but I wonder, as we’re thinking about because we’ve been talking about the Georgia races tonight, we’ve been talking about politics as we think about if Democrats have the majority next year, you’re on the Judiciary Committee. Trump is still going to target his political enemies. He’s not going to stop. He’s going to have people in the Department of Justice that does that. What changes what kind of Senate majority do to kind of hold them to account or even stop that?”

Schiff said, “Well, we’ll of course, to oversight of the administration. But judging from his first term, when we subpoenaed, for example, administration officials in the Russia Ukraine investigations, they basically stonewall the subpoenas. In fact, Trump was impeached in that first impeachment, not just for trying to extort Zelensky to get him to help cheat in the election, but also because he was stonewalling, congressional subpoenas. So I don’t think we can expect a whole lot from the administration, but we can subpoena the private sector and they will need to comply. So all of the crypto deals and meme coin deals, the UFC fight, all the back channeling on the Paramount SkyDance, and Warner Brothers mergers, whether there are promises made of changing editorial content, all of that kind of corruption, potential corruption, we will be able to look into.”
