From The Guardian: Donald Trump has lashed out after Iran denied it was in negotiations with the United States, declaring in an angry social media post that a US military blockade will continue until there is a “Deal, or Total surrender.” Calling Iranian leaders “duplicitous” for “openly and proudly” saying Iran was not negotiating... https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/aug/03/us-iran-trump-strait-of-hormuz-talks-israel-gaza-lebanon-latest-news-updates?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-6a70b7268f08f3358adf095f#block-6a70b7268f08f3358adf095f

From NBC News: "Judge orders release of the $5.8 million payment Trump owed E. Jean Carroll --The move came after the president’s attorneys launched a long-shot bid to the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision not to hear his appeal of a sexual abuse and defamation verdict... Asked about Kaplan’s order, a spokesperson for Trump’s legal team said in a statement, “The American people stand with President Trump as they demand an immediate end to all of the Witch Hunts, including the Democrat-funded travesty of the Carroll Hoaxes.” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/judge-orders-release-58-million-payment-trump-owed-e-jean-carroll-rcna353512

From The Guardian: "Alarm over ‘extreme’ sentences for anti-ICE protesters convicted of terrorism" "The decades-long prison sentences for a group of Texas activists convicted of terrorism and other charges in connection to a Fourth of July protest last year has caused widespread alarm, given their unusually punitive length and for the apparent harsh criminalization of protest activity under Donald Trump’s justice department." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/26/texas-protesters-anti-ice-convictions
From the Guardian: "Evidence collected by media investigations during the year that Alligator Alcatraz was in operation, however, contradicts the assertions of DeSantis and Homan, and especially of Trump, who previously said that the facility was reserved for “the most menacing migrants, some of the most vicious people on the planet”. Hundreds of detainees had no criminal records or charges, it was disclosed last July, with their only alleged violation that of being in the US without legal documents, a civil offense. The majority of people detained in federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) jails around the country have no criminal convictions." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/25/alligator-alcatraz-jail-closes-ron-desantis
From The Guardian: "This is from Eleanor Mueller, White House reporter at Semafor, on X: To be clear: Trump has no leverage here. If he doesn’t sign the housing bill within 10 days, it becomes law automatically. If, before then, he vetoes, Congress has the votes to override." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/jun/24/mamdani-new-york-primaries-midterms-democrats-republicans-trump-250-anniversary-politics-latest-updates?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-6a3bf1448f083dc04da7199c#block-6a3bf1448f083dc04da7199c
Taken from NBC News: "Israeli forces opened fire and killed two men in the southern Lebanese town of Nabatiyeh al-Fawqa on Tuesday, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported, adding the pair were next to a bulldozer that was clearing the road at the time. Separately, the agency said Israeli troops fired on residents on the outskirts of the town of Hadatha as they were heading to carry out a burial in the town’s ceremony with a Lebanese army escort. There was no immediate comment from Israel." The Israeli military now in Lebanon is doing exactly what they did to civilians in Gaza: Indiscriminate killing of civilians.
