President signs memorandum at Palace of Versailles where Germans were humiliated after losing first world war. The Trump administration declared a "major win" but likewise the Hezbollah chief, Naim Qassem, proclaimed a "great victory" as the text of the 14-point US-Iran memorandum of understanding became public. Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said: "The agreement is a record of US failure. People will see it and judge." Irna, Iran's official state news agency, released a photograph of Iran's president, Masoud Pezeshkian, holding up a Persian-language document apparently showing his signature alongside that of Trump. According to Reuters, Ghalibaf told state TV: "Everything we sought to achieve through military action, we obtained several times over through negotiation; it was not even comparable."
President Trump appears to be completely smitten with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, professing his love for the authoritarian leader at the G7 summit in France on Wednesday. "I met him early in the campaign when Crooked Hillary and I were running against each other, right, and I was told that the president of Egypt is here. That was a big deal. It's still a big deal for me to be with the great president of Egypt, but not as big as it used to be before I ran. So he was in a hotel and I met him, and we fell in love. Deeply in love," Trump said, while seated next to the Egyptian leader. We had great chemistry, and I stayed twice as long as I was supposed."
Four years ago, Tennessee became the first state to allow adults to buy the antiparasitic drug ivermectin from a pharmacy without first seeing a doctor. Pharmacies can use a pre-written, blanket prescription to sell to just about anyone who walks through their doors. The drug is now marketed and sold across the state in roadside shops and small-town strip malls with little oversight from health authorities. Highway billboards advertise ivermectin as "Available Without a Prescription in Tennessee!" while dozens of pharmacies offer highly concentrated pills, sometimes at 10 or 20 times the potency of a standard tablet. Some pharmacy websites now offer the drug as a treatment for COVID-19, "long haul vax symptoms," diabetes, or cancer -- despite no evidence of its effectiveness for those purposes -- while the new law largely gives pharmacists immunity from lawsuits or professional sanctions related to ivermectin.

Congress turned down President Donald Trump's request for funding for his modernization efforts at the White House " mainly out of concern that he would tap taxpayer dollars for his proposed ballroom. Now, the president is turning to a pot of money Congress approved last year for the U.S. Secret Service. Records show that the White House Office of Management and Budget last week quietly apportioned $352 million from Trump's tax cuts law, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, for "White House Security Measures."
