In a social media post on Sunday, Gonzales claimed he’s the victim of a coordinated political attack. “During my six years in Congress not a single formal complaint has been levied against my office,” Gonzales wrote. “It is now clear to me Tony Gonzales is a sexual predator, who abused his position of power and wrecked a family,” Herrera wrote. Several of Gonzales’ House GOP colleagues blasted him in response to news about the texts on Monday. But the story broke open last week after another staffer told the San Antonio Express-News about what happened.

Iran’s vulnerability affords the United States significant leverage to secure a strong nuclear deal, but only if Washington focuses on the nuclear file rather than overloading talks with additional priorities. The nuclear deal: A real, if limited, American interestConcerns about Iran’s nuclear activities justify reasonable diplomatic efforts to prevent Iranian weaponization, but do not warrant costly and risky military action. The U.S. has a historic opportunity to negotiate a significantly more restrictive nuclear deal than the JCPOA, reflecting Iran’s weakened position. If the United States concludes a nuclear agreement with Iran, it acquires a substantial interest in preventing developments that might collapse the deal. Threatening regime change against Iran is therefore completely counterproductive to Trump’s other goals, most notably a sensible nuclear deal.

Johnson conceded the accusations were “very serious” and that he has urged the San Antonio Republican to address them with his constituents directly. Gonzales has denied the affair and said he’s being blackmailed. Then the GOP will fill another seat, formerly held by the late Rep. Doug Lamalfa, after a special election in August. Gonzales has repeatedly criticized what he called the “personal smears” against him and has also accused Aviles of trying to blackmail him. Barrera has denied Gonzales’ claim, saying that the “assertion of extortion is ridiculous.”This story has been updated with additional details.

It’s not a surprise, but NFL insider Ian Rapoport is reporting that the Falcons will indeed use the franchise tag on Kyle Pitts. Rapoport indicates the Falcons will use the tag to buy themselves time for a long-term pact with Pitts, with the deal needing to be done by July. Pitts, who won’t turn 26 until October, has already played five seasons in Atlanta and has 284 career receptions for 3,579 yards and 15 touchdowns as a Falcon. Those numbers are good for 4th all-time among Falcons tight ends for receptions and yardage and 5th in touchdowns, with Jim Mitchell, Tony Goznalez, Alge Crumpler, and Austin Hooper (for touchdowns) ahead of him. In a tight end friendly offense, we hope so too.

The scale of an Iran campaign could vary significantly depending on Trump’s objectives. Taking out Iran’s missile program would require hitting hundreds of targets across a country more than three times the size of Iraq. Such a campaign could extend for weeks or months, require much more munitions and expose U.S. forces to more intense retaliation, the former defense official said. Iran has expressed a willingness to make a deal, but disagreements remain over Iran maintaining a uranium enrichment capability, among other issues. But opponents say Trump’s open deliberating about regime change and the growing influence of hard-liners in Iran’s military establishment may invite a more lethal response.

Or they’ll have to convince judges of a rather novel reading of Section 122 in which trade deficits are balance-of-payments deficits. The Trump team previously suggested Section 122 might not workImportantly, the Trump team itself has acknowledged this distinction. “These new tariffs are even more clearly illegal than Trump’s IEEPA tariffs,” McCarthy wrote, referring to Trump’s emergency tariffs that were just struck down. What happens if Trump’s tariffs are struck down … againThe tariffs are limited at 150 days, and the legal process could actually take longer than that. At that point, congressional Republicans might run out of patience for Trump’s tariffs gambit — especially given many of them have been skeptical from the start.
