Could this be the endgame? On Wednesday, while talking to reporters in the Oval Office, President Trump implied that a deal with Iran was imminent - and stated that they have agreed to give up their nuclear weapons program. The Center Square's Washington, D.C., Bureau Chief, Sarah Roderick-Fitch, has more. During a Wednesday afternoon news conference in the Oval Office, Trump indicated that Iran has agreed not to have a nuclear weapon – a stipulation in a deal between Iran and the U.S. “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and they won’t, and they’ve agreed to that, among other things,” Trump told reporters. The president said a deal

Karen Bass, the current Mayor of Los Angeles, dropped an F-bomb in a bizarre Freudian slip during Wednesday night’s debate against reality television star Spencer Pratt and councilmember Nithya Raman. The slip occurred when the debate segued into the destructive Palisades Fire of 2025 and reports that dozens of fire trucks were in need of repair prior to that fateful day. It was when Bass had to utter the word “trucks” that another word slipped out.

Happy Thursday, Morning Briefing readers! Kruiser is currently deep in Facebook Marketplace negotiations with a guy named Skeeter over a “slightly haunted” pontoon boat, so you're stuck with me today. Hopefully, he'll be back tomorrow. In case you missed it, Secretary of State Marco Rubio filled in for Karoline Leavitt — who is currently on maternity leave — on Tuesday, and it went about as well for him as it could have gone. He was funny. He was charming. He was knowledgeable. He was authoritative. And I hate myself for saying this so prematurely, but he was... presidential.

LOS ANGELES -- A fiery debate was held on Wednesday between incumbent Karen Bass and two of her primary challengers in the race for Los Angeles mayor. The candidates sparred over how to handle wildfires, homelessness and the dwindling Hollywood film industry. The debate comes with just one month until the mayoral primary election. There is an unlikely alliance in an ugly race for L.A. mayor. Former reality star Spencer Pratt and current Mayor Bass were hardly in agreement on Wednesday night, but coordinated or not, the opponents led a two-on-one tag-team attack against progressive L.A. city councilmember Nithya Raman.

An AI-generated ad supporting Spencer Pratt‘s Los Angeles mayoral campaign is being praised by conservatives as one of the best political ads ever made. The Batman-inspired ad (below) depicts L.A. as ruled by an elite cadre of partying, uncaring French aristocrats — including current mayor Karen Bass (in Joker makeup), a cake-eating California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and a vodka-chugging Kamala Harris (who declares, “Bass already solved crime”). Drawing inspiration from the mob-rule trial scenes in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, citizens are dragged before the state’s leaders, plead for help regarding issues such as homelessness or rebuilding their wildfire-destroyed homes, and are subjected to ridicule.

Wednesday on MS NOW’s “Deadline,” Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) said if the Democrats win the majority in the midterm elections, he will be “leading investigations” on alleged corruption related to President Donald Trump. Host Nicolle Wallace said, “Are you optimistic as you’re sort of out there talking to voters about all the damage he’s doing in real time, much more quickly than the first term?” Goldman said, “Am I optimistic about what?”

Sixty-one percent of Americans are worried that “native-born Americans are losing their economic, political, and cultural influence” because of immigration, according to an April poll by the Associated Press. Just 38 percent of respondents say they are “not very” or “not at all” concerned about the impact of migration, says the poll of 2,596 adults, which was conducted April 16-20. The data shows that 16 percent of respondents are “extremely ” concerned about citizens’ loss of influence amid the huge inflow of diverse and specialist migrants. Another 16 percent say they are “very concerned.” Twenty-nine percent say they are only “somewhat concerned,”

Spencer Pratt's campaign for mayor is taking off amid a flurry of Hollywood citizen-video creators who have spontaneously popped up to support him in a true grassroots effort, using their artistic talents for making songs and campaign ads. Now it looks as though the big guns are moving in, the Hollywood talents who get paid for creating such things in Los Angeles's entertainment industry Two more unforgettables dropped late yesterday: The first is an ai-generated video, but all the Hollywood film-school standards are evident -- the fiery villain lair, a shot of the big villain -- Karen Bass

Expect more riots. More political assassination attempts (hopefully thwarted). More attacks on Jews and synagogues. More of everything that is tearing our society apart. Tens or hundreds of millions of dollars are flooding into radical organizations from billionaires both here and abroad, and God knows how much from the Chinese Communist Party. Democrats have been doubling down on their violent rhetoric, even after the latest assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Expect it to get worse, not better.

In case you missed it yesterday, a white male employee of the NY Times filed an EEOC complaint claiming he was passed over for a promotion because of his race. The EEOC then filed a lawsuit against the NY Times accursing the paper of racial discriminatin. When I wrote about all of this it yesterday, I had to rely on the accounts published by various newspapers describing the lawsuit. Not surprisingly, the NY Times' own story about it left out a lot of detail. For instance, here's what the Times published dismissing the main claim in the lawsuit.
