🇺🇸🇮🇷🇴🇲⚡- "Iran and Oman are working on a proposal to charge ships using the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran argues that the payments would be fees for services such as navigation, safety, and environmental protection, while Oman has suggested a model where shipping companies pay for safe passage, which Muscat has put forward to Washington.

However, it remains unclear whether these payments would be voluntary [Oman's preferred method] or mandatory [Iran's preferred method], reflecting differences between the two countries’ positions," - The New York Times.

🇺🇸⚡️- BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s executive order limiting birthright citizenship.

🇺🇸🇱🇾⚡- "The US is seeking to broker a power-sharing deal in Libya that would legitimize family rule by the Haftars [East Libya] and Dbeibahs [West Libya].

While presented as an interim step toward elections, the plan would likely make their positions permanent," - Foreign Policy.

🇺🇸⚡️- The ruling was 5-4 on the 14th Amendment and 6-3 on the Congressional citizenship statute. Roberts was joined by Sotomayor, Karan, Barrett, and Jackson, with Kavanaugh concurring in part on the statutory question, per Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin.

🇺🇸⚡️- Supreme Court also agreed to take up some major gun control cases next term. Grant v Higgins and Viramontes v Cook County (IL) both revolve around bans on semi automatic weapons like AR-15's.

🇺🇸⚡️- Todays Supreme Court rulings were highly predictable and should not surprise anyone. That being said since the job to end birthright citizenship is now solely on Congress, the GOP and Trump are fully to blame for when it goes unchanged.

Justice Kavanaugh writing in the majority opinion that Congress has the right to change it without a new Amendment prevented this from being a death note for the country.

🇺🇸🇹🇷⚡️- Steven Bonnell aka Destiny, one of the last remaining non-socialist left-wing influencers, is declaring war on Hasan Piker and calling out the mainstream media and other influencers for tolerating him.

Piker and his community have become an epicenter of far-left politics within the Democrat party off the back of softball interviews given to him by the New York Times, Washington Post, and the Atlantic, among other major left-wing tastemakers.

He has been openly supported by Twitch's CEO Dan Clancy, and the platform has promoted Piker extensively at the expense of other left-wing streamers, even banning some of his rivals off the platform including Destiny and Nick Fuentes.

This may seem like petty influencer drama, but considering the rapid victories of leftist candidates across the country with the help of Piker and the mainstream Democrat party struggling to respond to the insurgency, Destiny and his political organizations are perhaps the first non-Marxist progressives to begin a real counterattack.

Internally, leaders within the DNC are currently in a panic over DSA candidates costing them election victories this year in a repeat of 2020, where congressional Democrats universally underperformed Joe Biden due to attack ads tying moderate Democrats to AOC and the Squad.

🇺🇸🇸🇦🇮🇷⚡- "At the outset of the Iran conflict, Saudi Arabia denied the United States permission to use its airspace and military facilities for Project Freedom—a U.S.-led effort, ordered by President Trump, to secure the Strait of Hormuz. The refusal forced Washington to temporarily suspend the operation. American officials responded by applying pressure, including signaling that future missile defense support could be withheld. Riyadh ultimately backed down and approved the request.

The dispute has since exposed tensions within a traditionally strong bilateral relationship. Saudi leaders interpreted recent U.S. diplomatic behavior as dismissive, while officials in Washington are now reportedly reassessing their regional posture—potentially scaling back their military presence in the Kingdom and redirecting assets toward partners such as Israel and Jordan," - The Wall Street Journal.
