for a 60-day ceasefire with Iran.
“In Pierre's Franco-Ordonia's report to Trump signed the framework that outlines further”
negotiations while a dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron. "The president told a group of eager reporters that he signed the memory and a misunderstanding while dining with the French President at the Palace of Versailles outside Paris." " Based a president, please, just one question for French TV at the RN deal. Just one question for me."
"You signed the deal." "You signed the deal." "You signed it." In according to Iranian state media, Iran has also signed the agreement. At an earlier press conference, Trump said the new agreement opens the state of
Hormuz to toll-free shipping, and states Iran will not pursue a nuclear weapon.

Clayton had been expected on Capitol Hill Wednesday, but the hearing was postponed and
“Pierre's Eric McDaniel says Trump is making demands that are not achievable.”
"So, there's an unbridgeable divide between the things the president wants and the things Congress is able to deliver. In an overnight truth-social post, Trump made two demands.
First, he wants the Senate to pass his election security bill.
This is the SAVE America Act." Second, the president wants to see Clayton's replacement confirmed for his current federal prosecutor job before he allows Clayton to start the confirmation process.

President Trump is hoping that the new Fed Chairman will oversee lower interest rates,
“but with a wartime spike in energy prices pushing inflation in the wrong direction, lower”
rates will have to wait. They did forecast from Fed policy makers so they no longer expect to cut their benchmark rate by a quarter percentage point this year, as they did in March. Instead, the average committee member is now projecting a quarter-point rate increase. Consumer prices in May were up 4.2% from a year ago, and that's the biggest annual increase

Luigi Mangione is planning to assert a psychiatric defense at his state murder trial on the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The judge, Mangione, in his case, said Wednesday that Mangione's lawyers have informed him that they will show Mangione was suffering from extreme emotional disturbance.

The cost to rent an apartment was down in May, one and a half percent from a year ago. That's according to a new report from Realtor.com, MPR Steven Basaja says that's due to an apartment construction boom.

Mason Cummins got two plus months of free rent to move into his national area apartment. I even saw some places doing three months, three and a half months free, but other cities still have a housing shortage.

Like twelve? He goes, "It's a rat race out there and I go, "Exactly what I've been saying, like, you know." Realtor.com reports rent is still up 17 percent since pre-pandemic times. Zillot puts that rent hike even higher at 37 percent.
