Could this be the endgame? On Wednesday, while talking to reporters in the Oval Office, President Trump implied that a deal with Iran was imminent - and stated that they have agreed to give up their nuclear weapons program.

Karen Bass, the current Mayor of Los Angeles, dropped an F-bomb in a bizarre Freudian slip during Wednesday night’s debate against reality television star Spencer Pratt and councilmember Nithya Raman.
The slip occurred when the debate segued into the destructive Palisades Fire of 2025 and reports that dozens of fire trucks were in need of repair prior to that fateful day. It was when Bass had to utter the word “trucks” that another word slipped out.
Happy Thursday, Morning Briefing readers! Kruiser is currently deep in Facebook Marketplace negotiations with a guy named Skeeter over a “slightly haunted” pontoon boat, so you're stuck with me today. Hopefully, he'll be back tomorrow.
In case you missed it, Secretary of State Marco Rubio filled in for Karoline Leavitt — who is currently on maternity leave — on Tuesday, and it went about as well for him as it could have gone. He was funny. He was charming. He was knowledgeable. He was authoritative. And I hate myself for saying this so prematurely, but he was... presidential.

LOS ANGELES -- A fiery debate was held on Wednesday between incumbent Karen Bass and two of her primary challengers in the race for Los Angeles mayor.
The candidates sparred over how to handle wildfires, homelessness and the dwindling Hollywood film industry. The debate comes with just one month until the mayoral primary election.
There is an unlikely alliance in an ugly race for L.A. mayor. Former reality star Spencer Pratt and current Mayor Bass were hardly in agreement on Wednesday night, but coordinated or not, the opponents led a two-on-one tag-team attack against progressive L.A. city councilmember Nithya Raman.
An AI-generated ad supporting Spencer Pratt‘s Los Angeles mayoral campaign is being praised by conservatives as one of the best political ads ever made.
The Batman-inspired ad (below) depicts L.A. as ruled by an elite cadre of partying, uncaring French aristocrats — including current mayor Karen Bass (in Joker makeup), a cake-eating California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and a vodka-chugging Kamala Harris (who declares, “Bass already solved crime”).
Drawing inspiration from the mob-rule trial scenes in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, citizens are dragged before the state’s leaders, plead for help regarding issues such as homelessness or rebuilding their wildfire-destroyed homes, and are subjected to ridicule.
Wednesday on MS NOW’s “Deadline,” Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) said if the Democrats win the majority in the midterm elections, he will be “leading investigations” on alleged corruption related to President Donald Trump.
Host Nicolle Wallace said, “Are you optimistic as you’re sort of out there talking to voters about all the damage he’s doing in real time, much more quickly than the first term?”
Goldman said, “Am I optimistic about what?”
Sixty-one percent of Americans are worried that “native-born Americans are losing their economic, political, and cultural influence” because of immigration, according to an April poll by the Associated Press.
Just 38 percent of respondents say they are “not very” or “not at all” concerned about the impact of migration, says the poll of 2,596 adults, which was conducted April 16-20.
The data shows that 16 percent of respondents are “extremely ” concerned about citizens’ loss of influence amid the huge inflow of diverse and specialist migrants.
Another 16 percent say they are “very concerned.”
Twenty-nine percent say they are only “somewhat concerned,”
Spencer Pratt's campaign for mayor is taking off amid a flurry of Hollywood citizen-video creators who have spontaneously popped up to support him in a true grassroots effort, using their artistic talents for making songs and campaign ads.
Now it looks as though the big guns are moving in, the Hollywood talents who get paid for creating such things in Los Angeles's entertainment industry
Two more unforgettables dropped late yesterday: The first is an ai-generated video, but all the Hollywood film-school standards are evident -- the fiery villain lair, a shot of the big villain -- Karen Bass
Expect more riots. More political assassination attempts (hopefully thwarted). More attacks on Jews and synagogues.
More of everything that is tearing our society apart.
Tens or hundreds of millions of dollars are flooding into radical organizations from billionaires both here and abroad, and God knows how much from the Chinese Communist Party. Democrats have been doubling down on their violent rhetoric, even after the latest assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Expect it to get worse, not better.
In case you missed it yesterday, a white male employee of the NY Times filed an EEOC complaint claiming he was passed over for a promotion because of his race. The EEOC then filed a lawsuit against the NY Times accursing the paper of racial discriminatin.
When I wrote about all of this it yesterday, I had to rely on the accounts published by various newspapers describing the lawsuit. Not surprisingly, the NY Times' own story about it left out a lot of detail. For instance, here's what the Times published dismissing the main claim in the lawsuit.
Homan: ‘Mass Deportations Are Coming’

“Mass deportations are coming,” border czar Tom Homan declared Tuesday during his keynote speech at the Border Security Expo in Phoenix, Arizona.
“If you think last year’s historic number was good, wait until next year, when we have 10,000 agents,” he told the more than 2,200 attendees. “You ain’t seen (expletive) yet.”
Homan specifically put New York on notice after the state refused to enter a 287(g) agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a formal partnership that delegates to state or local law enforcement certain immigration authority functions.
“We’re going to flood the zone.

When my kids were very young, one of the first words that we banned was “stupid.” No one is stupid, I would tell them; some people just don’t think things through. Well, to borrow from that explanation, I probably didn’t think that all the way through.
While I don’t regret teaching the kids not to use “the S word,” as we used to call it, the older I’ve gotten, I’ve had to face the reality that, yes, some people who otherwise are of sound mind are just stupid. Nowhere is this more evident than on social media. The latest example is a social media manager, of all things,
The man accused of sparking the deadly Palisades Fire in Los Angeles was upset that he didn’t have plans for New Year’s Eve and ranted about being angry at the world before the initial blaze was sparked, according to court documents filed by prosecutors.(snip) According to court filings, Rinderknecht ranted to passengers about accused UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter Luigi Mangione, capitalism and vigilantism. In an interview with investigators on Jan. 24, when asked why someone might commit arson in the Palisades, Rinderknecht “responded that it would be out of resentment of the rich enjoying their money as ‘we’re basically being enslaved by them,’” and again referenced Mangione’s alleged crime, the documents
Ted Turner, the media visionary who forever altered the news business by founding CNN and helped introduce Americans to pay TV by creating cable channels like TNT, Turner Classic Movies and Cartoon Network, has died. He was 87.
Turner, who later turned his attention to saving the planet and pushing progressive political causes, died Wednesday, according to a statement from the family released by Turner Enterprises. Turner died peacefully surrounded by his family. He battled Lewy body dementia in recent years.

Text messages released by the Senate Judiciary Committee show two former federal prosecutors discussing desires to prosecute nuns during investigations of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Joseph Cooney and Molly Gaston, career prosecutors at the Justice Department rather than political appointees, played a role in prosecuting President Donald Trump during former President Joe Biden’s administration. Both were fired shortly after Trump became president a second time and are legal partners at Gaston & Cooney PLLC. Cooney is running for Congress in Virginia.
It's nice when something you knew was a fraud all along turns out to be a fraud, but it's even nicer when the people perpetrating the fraud admit it was a fraud all along.
"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has just published the next generation of climate scenarios," science policy analyst Roger Pielke Jr wrote late last week, and in what he called "big news," the new framework "eliminated the most extreme scenarios that have dominated climate research over much of the past several decades."
So the oceans aren't about to boil off or freeze over or whatever the current scare story is?
Exactly: "The IPCC and broader research community
There's a big story breaking in Virginia this Wednesday morning as reports are surfacing on social media that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is raiding the offices of Democrat Sen. Louise Lucas, who is president pro tempore of the Virginia state senate and the chief architect of the gerrymandered map that could possibly steal four congressional seats currently held by Republicans.
Bill Melugin of Fox News posted on X that the FBI is in the process of raiding Lucas's Portsmouth office "in connection to a major corruption probe" and noted that federal law enforcement was "serving multiple search warrants,

There is something going on at the Obama household, and it looks like Trump Derangement Syndrome to me. It appears that Mr. & Mrs. Obama have the same problem that so many Democrats have, i.e. too much thinking about Trump.
There is a story at The Guardian that I had to share with you today. Here it goes:
Barack Obama has offered a rare and candid glimpse into his marriage - and it turns out Donald Trump is causing trouble at home.
The former President, 64, admitted in an interview that Michelle wants him to step back from public life so the couple can enjoy their later years together.
I tried to understand the Left’s passionate intensity by subscribing to The New York Times. Every morning, I hope the app won’t open. But every morning, like a recurring PTSD-nightmare, it does.
I subscribed to The New York Times because I wanted to understand the Left’s passionate intensity. What drives them to stand in front of moving ICE vehicles, assault police officers, shout down conservative speakers, burn down cities, and try to assassinate the president again, and again, and again?
Every morning, I squint as I scroll through the headlines and flinch as I peruse the editorials: one Trump deranged piece after another. And all the time I wonder, how could
Following the October 7th attacks in Israel in 2023, an elderly man in California was killed when an anti-Israel protester hit him in the head with a megaphone. The victim fell to the ground and hit his head. It’s a horrible story from every angle.
The protester who was charged with the man’s death was just allowed to plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter in exchange for a ridiculous plea deal that includes a sentence of one year in prison followed by probation.
This is a video from the scene of the crime:

WASHINGTON — The United States and Iran appeared to be moving closer Wednesday to an initial agreement to end the war, as U.S. President Trump sought to pressure Tehran with threats of a new wave of bombing if a deal is not reached.
Trump posted on social media that the two-month war could soon end and that oil and natural gas shipments disrupted by the conflict could restart. But he said that depends on Iran accepting a reported agreement that the president did not detail.

President Trump and his allies vowed to oust the Indiana Republicans who opposed the president’s proposed redistricting efforts last year — and on Tuesday evening, they largely made good on that promise.
Indiana voters headed to the polls on Tuesday for the state’s primary elections, with Trump-backed challengers handily defeating at least five of the seven state senators who opposed the president’s effort to eliminate Democratic congressional representation in the Hoosier State late last year as part of a mid-decade redistricting tit-for-tat between the parties.
The Department of Homeland Security has restarted processing visas for thousands of foreign doctors from 39 high-risk countries who have been hired by U.S. hospitals.
Pro-migration advocates are celebrating what they hope will be a greater foreign inflow into American hospitals: It “is a great development for physicians and health care in the U.S.,” lawyer Curtis Morrison, who works for employers, told the New York Times.
But the renewed inflow is bad for American patients and bad for the many Americans who want to become doctors, said Kevin Lynn, the director of the Institute for Sound Public Policy.
“This year, over 1,300 [American] graduates from medical schools did not get [hospital training]
