Trump announced a peace deal with Iran. If it feels familiar, that is because we have seen this before. A United Kingdom trade deal, now frozen. Two Gaza ceasefires, both collapsed. The Iran deal follows the same architecture. Announce, declare victory, defer the hard parts. The pattern is consistent enough by now to function as a prediction. https://open.substack.com/pub/thinkbigpicture/p/iran-trump-mou-deal?r=29873&utm_medium=ios

Judge extends block on $1.8B Trump 'Anti-Weaponization Fund'

A federal judge in Virginia has extended a court-ordered block on the Trump administration’s $1.8 billion settlement fund for compensating people who claim to be victims of a weaponized government. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche says the government is scrapping its plans for the fund after bipartisan backlash. Plaintiffs’ attorneys aren’t satisfied by Blanche’s assurances the fund won’t move forward. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema previously agreed to temporarily block President Donald Trump's Republican administration from proceeding with the fund for at least two weeks. Brinkema on Friday gave the parties a week to negotiate an agreement for Blanche to submit a sworn declaration the administration won’t revive the fund.
