Ryan Grim and Emily Jashinsky spoke with Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill about the fragile U.S.–Iran ceasefire and Tehran’s 10-point plan. Scahill explains Donald Trump was “desperate for an off-ramp,” after Tehran used the Strait of Hormuz to show it could cause “absolute global economic havoc.” He said Iran is treating the deal as a pause, with its “finger firmly on the trigger.” The pause now could be cover to “rearm Israel” before new strikes, especially as attacks in Lebanon continue. Both sides claim victory, but the truce is unstable and could unravel quickly, Scahill told Breaking Points. jeremy scahill | Ryan Grim | Emily Jashinsky

Speaker Johnson defensive about his past projections about the Iran war, including repeatedly saying it’s just a skirmish that would be over in short order and cause just a “temporary blip” in gas prices. More than six months in, asked him if the public should judge him on his past projections that were off base? “That is one of the stupidest questions you've ever asked,” he snapped. Johnson said: “I have nothing to do with the prosecution of the war across the globe.” Asked the speaker about him selling this to the public and the cost of war to taxpayers:

WATCH | Ryan Grim points out that, not long ago, a diagnosis like HER2-positive breast cancer was often a death sentence for women. However, due to NIH funding and groundbreaking research at UCLA—where treatments like Herceptin were developed—millions now have a real shot at life. That same public funding is what Trump and Musk are now trying to shut down. Ryan Grim | Krystal Ball | Emily Jashinsky

REPORT: Mike Johnson’s West Bank Trip Tied to Apocalyptic Prophecy House Speaker Mike Johnson’s recent visit to the occupied West Bank wasn’t just a political gesture—it was part of a years-long evangelical campaign tied to end-times prophecy. Ryan Grim reports Johnson has personally supported a movement to rebuild the Jewish Third Temple, which would require the destruction of Al-Aqsa Mosque. In 2023, he invited a rabbi and Texas evangelical behind the shipment of five “red heifers” to Israel—animals central to a biblical purification ritual meant to trigger the apocalypse. ➤ The heifers were flown to Israel as “pets” to bypass export laws ➤ Land was quietly acquired near the Temple Mount for the sacrifice ➤ And Johnson recently toured the site where the heifers are now being raised Ryan Grim | Emily Jashinsky

📹 “I don’t want any family to suffer the way my family has.” New Hampshire Senate candidate Karishma Manzur was seven when her father, a hero of Bangladesh’s independence war, was killed in military custody after being accused of involvement in President Ziaur Rahman’s assassination. She and her family were arrested and endured years of persecution. After finding refuge in America, she worked multiple minimum-wage jobs just to cover rent. Her mother and sister both died young after years without access to health care, she says. Now challenging establishment Democrat Chris Pappas, she spoke to Ryan Grim and Emily Jashinsky about why her fight for universal health care, livable wages, and an end to war profiteering is deeply personal.

💴 OIL & MARKETS | BP reported profits more than doubling in Q1 2026, beating expectations on the back of elevated oil prices driven by the Iran war and Strait of Hormuz closure — a result Breaking Points hosts Ryan Grim and Emily Jashinsky noted carries a bitter historical irony: BP’s nationalization by Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in the 1950s, and the subsequent CIA-backed coup that restored its oil concessions, is a foundational chapter in the history of U.S.-Iran conflict. Meanwhile, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned at the Norges Bank Investment Management annual conference in Oslo that “the way it’s going now, there will be some kind of bond crisis, and then we’ll have to deal with it,” citing geopolitics, oil prices, and government deficits as compounding risks. “The level of things that are adding to the risk column are high,” he said. “They may go away, but they may not, and we don’t know what confluence of events causes the problem.” He also warned that a credit recession, when it eventually comes, “would be worse than people think” — and “might be terrible.” Ryan Grim | Emily Jashinsky

And that is a monstrous thing to say about someone, especially someone whose entire politics are deeply committed to equality, human rights and anti-racism… I think it’s genuinely disgusting and monstrous and a f***ing evil thing to do.” Ball, Ryan Grim, and Emily Jashinsky discuss Scott Jennings’s use of decontextualized clips to smear Piker as a racist and attack Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, whether the claims could meet the legal standard for defamation, and the media double standard protecting pro-Israel figures who lie about Israel’s critics.

⭕️ $800,000 in attack ads over an $11,000 index fund. Will Lawrence agrees with Ryan Grim that opposing the Iran war and Gaza genocide signals to voters that a candidate won’t sell out on other issues. He also highlights the irony of attack ads portraying him as a big-money data center profiteer over his $11,000 in a 401(k), while those actually taking Big Tech money are nowhere to be found at township meetings.

🎥 WATCH | Jeremy Scahill reports that Trump’s indefinite “ceasefire extension” is being repackaged by the White House as a response to supposed chaos in Tehran, after Iran held firm on refusing talks unless the U.S. lifted its blockade on Iranian ports. Scahill says Iranian officials told him the decision was made at the highest levels of power and that White House claims of internal disarray, house arrests, or an IRGC takeover of diplomacy are “psychological warfare” — an attempt to let Trump save face after, in Iran’s view, “he blinked first.” 🔗 Full details in Jeremy Scahill’s new report for Drop Site linked below. jeremy scahill | Ryan Grim | Emily Jashinsky

🎥 “For me, this is deeper than politics.” Michigan state Rep. Donovan McKinney told Ryan Grim that his family moved more than 13 times while he was growing up in Detroit, at times living in cars, shelters, and on the street. McKinney said those experiences and his grandmother’s insistence that he “never fight the urge to give” led him into public service. Now challenging Rep. Shri Thanedar in Michigan’s 13th Congressional District, McKinney said residents are being forced to choose between rent, food, and medicine while Washington funds “bombs and weapons to kill families and children overseas.” His campaign rejects corporate PAC and AIPAC money and has raised more than $1 million, with an average donation of $30. Here’s part of his conversation with Ryan Grim on Breaking Points. Donavan McKinney | Ryan Grim

Ryan Grim asked Congressman Cory Mills (R-FL) whether his support for Trump’s Iran war has anything to do with his ownership of an arms trafficking company. Mills, who currently serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee (specifically as Chairman of the Oversight and Intelligence Subcommittee), co-founded PACEM Solutions International and PACEM Defense, which manufacture and distribute munitions, including high-explosive grenades. He claimed today to have divested from the companies, but later backtracked on that assertion. Ryan Grim | Piers Morgan
