The speaker of Iran's parliament on Thursday scoffed at Trump administration claims that the Islamic Republic's unfrozen assets will be used to purchase U.S. agricultural products. The retort by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf came after days of statements by President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that a temporary peace deal that will lead to unfreezing Iranian assets will be a boon to U.S. farmers. "America falsely claims our unfrozen assets will buy their agriculture. Interesting," Ghalibaf wrote in a post on X. "The only crop we're harvesting is what you planted: decades of mistrust," Ghalibaf wrote. "It's organic, abundant, and homegrown. But apparently the US only exports GMO soybeans, broken promises and trash talks."
Two ICE agents harassed a poll worker on Election Day, demanding she remove social media posts they claimed threatened federal agents, according to Syracuse.com. Paigelynne Gonyea, a poll worker in Syracuse, New York, said she received a phone call Tuesday from two ICE agents asking to meet with her. Not wanting to meet with them alone, she invited them into her work. "I've seen the news, especially in Minnesota," she said. "And I didn't want anything to happen to me at all."

"They tried to scare me into signing it while I was working," she said.
Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the president's media company that operates Truth Social, has seen its stock price plummet to an all-time low. The company, which trades on the Nasdaq under Donald Trump's initials, DJT, closed on Wednesday at $7.52 a share, dipping below its previous all-time low of $7.76, according to Futurism. What's even more embarrassing is just how far the company's stock has fallen from its peak. The slide to around $7.52 means the stock is down more than 41 percent since the start of 2026 and more than 57 percent from this time last year. The falling stock price isn't the only turbulence TMTG has experienced. Last month, it was reported that Truth Social's parent company posted a net loss of more than $400 million in the first quarter.

The Battle of Little Bighorn on June 25 and 26, 1876, lasted barely a full day, but it would become one of the most famous, controversial and mysterious military engagements in American history.
