The divide within the Democratic Party is deepening as 13 moderate Democrats have signed a ‘Promise to America’ pledge to support “strong borders, capitalism, and patriotism” amid the growing progressive wing of the party. “You know there are certain things that I believe in that are not being reflected in the current environment, especially with some of these races on Tuesday,” Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) said. “We’re for capitalism, not socialism. We’re for safety, not lawlessness. We’re proud of America, not ashamed of America — and we need to be promoting those things,” he continued. “The far left and the far right, you know, they’re all very well organized. But those of us that don’t support those far left or far right principles need to do a better job organizing and getting our message out,” Suozzi added. Watch below: PROMISE TO AMERICA: 13 moderate Democrats are banding together against Democratic socialists, signing the 'Promise to America' to back strong borders, capitalism, and patriotism — and @RepTomSuozzi is leading the charge: "You know there are certain things that I believe in that… pic.twitter.com/0CThdO5cu7 — FOX & Friends (@foxandfriends) June 26, 2026 Axios explained further: Moderate House Democrats are warning they’re prepared for “war” if incoming progressives and democratic socialists try to hijack the House floor to secure ideological concessions. This strategy would mean even more work for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) to tamp down divisions and keep his caucus unified come 2027. Despite being generally more closely aligned with Jeffries than the progressive wing, these centrists say they cannot allow their party to be dragged to the left without a fight. “Clearly there has to be organization,” one centrist House Democrat told Axios. “You can’t just wring your hands on this stuff.” “There’s going to be a war,” a second centrist lawmaker said, calling the incoming leftist members “bomb-throwers, not problem solvers.” The New York congressional primaries on Tuesday were a wake-up call for many Democrats on Capitol Hill. DSA members Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez both won hotly competitive primaries, and progressive Brad Lander ousted Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.). The trio joins over half a dozen other left-wing candidates who have won primaries this year and another half-dozen vying to unseat more moderate Democratic incumbents. Add that to the current “Squad” members in the House and their allies, and you start to get Congress’ most sizable left-wing bloc in the 21st century. “America is stronger than our politics. Politics forces false choices between extremes on right and left. We reject them. Too many Americans have not benefited from the last half-century of economic growth. Americans want an economy that lowers costs, expands opportunity, and rewards the people who work hard every day,” the pledge read. “Americans want safe communities and institutions that solve problems. We believe in building more to lower costs and expand opportunity. We believe Democrats succeed when we speak to the whole country and value persuasion over purity. We, the undersigned, make this Promise To America,” it continued. Incredible. A liberal coalition is finally forming to push back against both the far right and the far left.

We believe in a growing, fair, and competitive economy that rewards hard work, innovation, entrepreneurship, and ownership. Full-time work should make it possible to own a home, raise a family, afford healthcare, and retire with dignity. Economic, permitting, and tax policy should expand opportunity and lower costs for workers, families, entrepreneurs, and those striving to join the middle class, not disproportionately favor those already at the top. Safety, Security, and Human Dignity We want safety, not lawlessness. We believe Americans deserve secure borders, safe communities, honest government, and an orderly immigration system that protects the country, strengthens the economy, and treats people with dignity. We believe America remains indispensable to global stability, democratic values, international security, and strong alliances. In a dangerous and uncertain world, America must lead with strength, purpose, and partnership. Fiscal Discipline We are responsible, not reckless. A generation has passed since our party balanced the budget. We will prioritize tackling the national debt honestly. We must pay our bills, and not leave our children in debt. Government That Works We believe government should solve problems, not create them. Government matters, but it must work. Public institutions should be competent, accountable, easier to navigate, and capable of building, innovating, and delivering results people experience in everyday life. Government should make life easier. Free Speech, Respect, AND Common Purpose We are mainstream, not extreme. We believe Americans can disagree without division. We stand for moderation, acceptance, respect, free expression, and democratic pluralism. We embrace a politics of persuasion over purity, contempt, and cultural division. Confident Patriotism and National Renewal We are proud, not ashamed of America. We believe America’s story is one of extraordinary achievement and unfinished work. We honor America’s strengths and exceptional character while striving to build a freer, stronger, more prosperous, and more perfect union. What are your thoughts?

President Trump on Friday announced that the “Fourth of July Airshow” in Washington, D.C., will be the biggest in the nation’s history. “The Fourth of July Airshow, over Washington, D.C., our Great Capital, will be the biggest, by far, in the History of the United States of America. Hundreds of Planes, of different types, sizes, and speeds, will be on display. It goes from 1:15 P.M. in the afternoon, until 11:30 in the evening,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I will be speaking at approximately 9 P.M., preceding the Fireworks which again, like the Airshow, will be approximately ten times larger than any Fireworks in the History of our Country. So, if you like Airplanes and Fireworks and President Trump, be there!” he added.

Daytime events include concerts and military flyovers beginning at 1pm, per Freedom 250’s plans. At 7pm, the Joint Armed Forces Orchestra will perform and speeches will be made. (A speaker lineup hasn’t yet been released.) Fireworks get going at 10:30pm, lasting about 40 minutes, more than twice as long as last year’s show. Organizers plan to launch 850,000 fireworks from 10 sites, including eight barges on the Potomac River. On July 4, Freedom250 will hold its “Salute to America” celebration on the National Mall. “The event will feature live music, military flyovers and other performances,” FOX 5 DC stated. “10 days from now, our country will celebrate one of the most monumental milestones in human history. We will mark 250 years of glorious American freedom,” Trump said earlier this week. “There has never been anything like the United States of America,” he added.

Vice President JD Vance on Thursday showed some admiration for former President Richard Nixon. Vance while speaking at an event at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library stated the infamous 1974 Watergates scandal would barely be able to stay in the headlines for over 12 hours if the fiasco occurred today. He later went on to compare himself to Nixon noting they were both Senators and best selling authors. AP News reported more on Vance’s latest remarks: Vice President JD Vance on Thursday said the Watergate scandal that brought down President Richard Nixon would have been a blip in today’s news cycle, and he drew parallels between Nixon and President Donald Trump — arguing that both were targeted by “deep state” forces. Vance described his admiration for Nixon during a conversation at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, California. Widely expected to be a presidential contender in 2028, Vance spoke at the library while promoting his new book, “Communion.” After talking about the book and his faith journey, Vance shifted to Nixon, saying the legacy of the 37th president is “enjoying a bit of a renaissance.” “If Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12-hour news story. The idea that it would have taken down a presidency is crazy,” Vance said. He went on: “If you look at the story of how the deep state took down Richard Nixon, it’s not all that different from what the same groups of people, the same institutions tried to do to Donald Trump in the first Trump administration.” Vance then noted his own similarities with Nixon. “Young senator, vice president, writes some bestselling books, is hated by the media,” he said. “It kind of sounds like JD Vance. I’ve always liked Richard Nixon.” Here’s the moment Vance made the comments: JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy." pic.twitter.com/osy0V3QLyN — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 25, 2026 Politico broke down what the Watergate scandal actually was: The Washington Post dubbed it “the smoking gun tape.” It was the recording that doomed the presidency of Richard Nixon. The transcript of a conversation that took place on June 23, 1972, when made public by Supreme Court order in July 1974, became the climactic revelation of the Watergate affair, proving beyond all doubt that Nixon used CIA director Richard Helms to suborn the FBI’s investigation of the Watergate burglars. Fifty years after the botched break-in that transformed American politics, the gangsterly dialogue of the smoking gun tape is less shocking than Trumpian. Blackmail as a mode of White House politics? President 45 had nothing on President 37. “We protected Helms from one hell of a lot of things,” Nixon growled on the tape. “You open that scab there’s a hell of a lot of things, and we just feel that it would be very detrimental to have this thing go any further. This involves these Cubans, [ex-CIA man and Watergate burglar Howard] Hunt, and a lot of hanky-panky that we have nothing to do with ourselves.” Nixon advised chief of staff H.R. Haldeman on how to get the CIA director to kill the FBI’s probe. “Say, ‘Look, the problem is that this will open the whole, the whole Bay of Pigs thing, and the President just feels that, ah, without going into the details … don’t, don’t lie to them to the extent to say there is no involvement, but just say this is sort of a comedy of errors, bizarre, without getting into it, the President believes that it is going to open the whole Bay of Pigs thing up again.’” The June 23 tape was incontrovertible evidence that Nixon had obstructed justice. The last vestige of support for Nixon on Capitol Hill evaporated. Two weeks later, on Aug. 8, 1974, Nixon resigned. But the “smoking gun tape” was not only the denouement of the Watergate affair. It was — and is — an unsettling glimpse into the dark heart of the Watergate scandal, and the workings of American power in the mid-20th century. The commander in chief voiced ominous threats that reeked of unspoken crimes to his intelligence chief, whose agency had employed four of the seven burglars. For the next 50 years, Nixon’s entourage, JFK conspiracy theorists, journalists and historians pondered the June 23 tape as a Rosetta Stone of Nixon’s psyche. What “hanky panky” was Nixon referring to? What did he mean by “the whole Bay of Pigs thing?” What story was going to “blow” if the CIA didn’t cooperate? A long-overlooked White House tape provides the answers. The “hanky panky” referred to CIA assassination operations in the early 1960s. The “whole Bay of Pigs thing” was the Agency’s reaction to its most humiliating defeat. And the story that might blow was the connection between those events and the murder of JFK. CNN’s Scott Jennings defended Vance’s remarks: Collins: You are not very defensive of those comments that were made at the Nixon library. You seem to be saying, you know, you don't seem to be defending them very much. Jennings: There's some things about the Richard Nixon presidency that I, uh, think are worthy of mention… pic.twitter.com/DDsURSGoiE — Acyn (@Acyn) June 26, 2026 What are your thoughts?

Iran appears to be pushing back against President Trump. On Tuesday in a post on Truth Social President Trump shared, the U.S. Treasury Department would release sanctioned Iranian funds into an escrow controlled by the U.S. which in return Iran would be allowed to use the funds to buy crops from American farmers. On Thursday at a White House event featuring famers across the United States, Trump offered similar remarks again but Iran has since responded and denied they will use any future unfrozen funds to buy U.S. crops. CBS News covered the claims from both sides: President Trump said once again that Iran is expected to buy U.S. wheat, corn and soy — a claim a top Iranian negotiator has denied. “All over the world, we’re opening up markets for the farmers,” the president said Thursday at a White House event with farmers. “And we have another one, a new market coming up, and that’s called the lovely country of Iran.” The president continued during the Rose Garden event: “We’re going to be taking some of their money and we’ll spend it, and we’re going to be buying wheat, soybeans and corn. A lot of it. And that process is going to be starting pretty soon.” Mr. Trump made a similar announcement Tuesday, writing on Truth Social that any sanctioned Iranian funds released by the U.S. Treasury will be “used for the purchase of food and medical supplies, exclusively from the United States.” He framed the plan as a win for American farmers. But Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who has helped lead negotiations with the U.S., called that claim false in a social media post Thursday. “The only crop we’re harvesting is what you planted: decades of mistrust. It’s organic, abundant, and homegrown,” Ghalibaf wrote. Here was Trump’s remarks: Trump to Farmers: We have a new market coming up, and that's called The Lovely Country of Iran. It's a beautiful place. Would anybody like to go there?

"The only crop we're harvesting is what you planted: decades of mistrust. It's organic, abundant, and homegrown," he says. pic.twitter.com/66998rxnCG — The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) June 25, 2026 ABC News reported Iran’s denial may be due to the fact they don’t want to disrupt their relationships with their current crop suppliers: Joseph Glauber, a research fellow emeritus at the International Food Policy Research Institute, said Iran was unlikely to abandon its other trade partners on food. Iran’s major suppliers include Brazil, India, Turkey, the European Union, Canada, Australia and Argentina, he said. Trump’s demand to buy from the U.S. would “create some hard feelings with some of our competitors.” Under previous sanctions, the U.S. has required that money foreign countries spend on imports from Iran — such as South Korean purchases of oil and Iraqi purchases of Iranian electricity — be locked in escrow accounts and typically released only if the Treasury approves and if the proceeds go toward “non-sanctionable’’ items such as food and medicine.
