Tulsi Gabbard officially announces her resignation.

Trump:

Unfortunately, after having done a great job, Tulsi Gabbard will be leaving the Administration on June 30th.

Her wonderful husband, Abraham, has been recently diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, and she, rightfully, wants to be with him, bringing him back to good health as they currently fight a tough battle together.

I have no doubt he will soon be better than ever. Tulsi has done an incredible job, and we will miss her.

Her highly respected Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, Aaron Lukas, will serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence.

The White House forced Gabbard out.

A Haaretz investigation has uncovered a secret surveillance unit operating within Israel's Education Ministry, whose apparent goal is to silence teachers who criticize the government.

Internal documents reveal that the unit, headed by a former Shin Bet (internal security service) operative, has been compiling detailed files on educators — monitoring their social media posts, protest participation, and political statements.

One such file, 14 pages long and marked as an internal document, tracked a school counselor named Yaron Avni at the Democratic School in Hod Hasharon. The file was compiled around the time of the mass protests against the government's judicial overhaul, during which Avni, like many Israelis, publicly expressed opposition to the government's policies.

The investigation suggests this is not an isolated case, but part of a broader, systematic effort to monitor and intimidate left-wing and Arab educators.

The mechanism was never intended to become public, indicating it operated in secrecy within the ministry's bureaucracy.

Mediators are scrambling to secure a stopgap deal between Iran and the U.S. to prevent new U.S.-Israeli strikes that officials warn could come within days.

Pakistan, Qatar and other regional players are trying to bridge gaps over Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions relief and regional security.

The aim is not a full agreement, but a temporary framework that extends the cease-fire and allows broader negotiations to continue.

A lot of people don’t know “dumb” actually has a B in it.

Trump:

I hate having lunch with somebody who’s really, really successful, because he or she keeps bragging about how great they are and it stops me from talking about the fact that I became president.

Trump:

We have stopped Iran. They are never going to have a nuclear weapon.

Trump met with top national security advisers Friday as he weighs possible new strikes on Iran, according to U.S. officials.

Trump is “seriously considering” military action unless negotiations improve, though “there is no indication Trump has made a decision to resume the war.”

One U.S. official described the talks as “agonizing,” with drafts “going back and forth every day” and “not much progress.”
