Conflict reporter/writer/cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM ET.
Today we discuss:
• Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, ally of Trump/Netanyahu/Zelensky and a consistent neocon, dies of a “brief and sudden illness” at age 71.
• Speculation swirls as a “proof of life” photo of Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, a far-right stalwart of the GOP, emerges after weeks of cover-ups and misdirection about the 84-year-old’s health.
• U.S. and Iranian forces exchanged strikes over the weekend and issued conflicting accounts over whether the Strait of Hormuz remains open to shipping. Iran’s strikes targeted American military bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Oman and Qatar.

Conflict reporter/writer/cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM ET.
Today we discuss:
• Federal prosecutors are already off to a bad start in their case against U.S. Olympian David Hearn, charged with “vandalism” for touching the DC Reflecting Pool after Trump’s renovation went wrong.
• In an echo of the killing of Renee Good by ICE, DHS said that Salgado Araujo had rammed an ICE vehicle and “weaponized” his white work van “in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer.” But three men who were arrested during the botched attempt to arrest someone else said the ICE officer fired at them almost immediately after exiting his vehicle and that at no point did the driver veer in his direction.
• Is Mitch McConnell alive? What exactly are Republicans covering up?

Conflict reporter/writer/cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM ET.
Today we discuss:
• Trump’s declaration that the U.S.-Iran ceasefire was “over” thrusts him and his administration back into a familiar corner: mired in an unpopular war that he cannot seem to end, with midterm elections less than four months away. In a mid-June Fox News poll, 58% of voters said the U.S. made the wrong decision in war against Iran in February, and 41% said the country made the right decision. In the poll, 87% said it was important to avoid a prolonged military conflict with Iran, including 59% who deemed it “extremely important” to do so.
• Trump kindles a significant thaw in relations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, announcing the U.S. would buy Ukrainian drones and, more importantly, gave a green light for Ukraine to co-produce Patriot interceptors, a move that could significantly improve its air defenses in the years ahead.
