Two police officers who clashed with rioters at the US Capitol during the January 6 insurrection in 2021 have sued Donald Trump over plans to create a
$1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund.
The fund, which critics have argued is essentially a slush fund, is set to compensate allies of the US president who he claims were victims of prosecutorial overreach.
It was created as part of an agreement in which Trump and his sons dropped a $10bn long-shot lawsuit against the US In…

A dozen memes (in a thread) of the foreign policy moment: capitulation, surrender, losing the war.

A post by Molly Ploofkins titled "Understanding Trump's Surrender to Iran: A Quick Guide." The tweet contains a table comparing the Obama (JCPOA, 2015) and Trump (2026) agreements with Iran. The table has three columns: the first column lists categories such as Unfrozen Iranian assets, Iran's uranium stockpile, Iran's enrichment program, Iran sanctions, Hormuz Strait, American lives lost to get to deal, American injuries to get to deal, Direct costs to get to deal, Additional geopolitical risk,…
screenshot of a post by Oz Katerji @OzKaterji I also think it was obvious, basically everyone with sense said that Iran could win the war simply by outlasting US resolve, and they did precisely that. Trump basically thought the Iranians would fold like the Venezuelans did after Maduro, he was wrong. [quote post] Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom Unless you're an brain-wormed partisan, "Iran is an evil regime," "this preventive war was stupid and should never have been launched," and "this peace …
screenshot of a post by Michael McFaul @McFaul This agreement is far worse than I expected. To reopen the strait— a strait that was open before the war- we and our partners are transferring billions to the autocrats. We get nothing else— no elimination of enriched uranium, missiles, or terrorist support. And to add one final gift, we agree to not help the Iranian people pursue their democratic aspirations. Just incredible. [quote post] Farnaz Fassihi @farnazfassihi The full text of the …
screenshot of a post by Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly Donald Trump took us to war without a plan. Families have lost loved ones. Billions of dollars have been spent. For what? This "deal" he signed leaves Iran stronger and in control of the Strait, but does little to advance US interests. The "master deal maker" just made one of the worst deals in US history. This is a total capitulation! What's next, the Russians get Alaska? Jun 18, 2026 • 2:23 AM UTC
