Iran Deal Forming? | Massie's Epstein Bombshell Threat | Aaron Comes Out on AI (Kind Of) | 5/26/26

from The A.M. Update

Iran deal rumors, Thomas Massie, Camille Kiefel, Bryan Walsh at Vox, and Chris Olah of Anthropic headline today's A.M. Update. Trump's Memorial Day Truth Social post lays out his framework for an Iran settlement, demanding Saudi Arabia and Qatar sign the Abraham Accords first, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian goes on state television to say Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons, and Marco Rubio cautions that paper agreements still have to be implemented. A gunman opens fire at a Secret Service checkpoint outside the White House on Saturday and is killed, with a bystander also hit by gunfire. Freshly ousted Rep. Thomas Massie goes on the media circuit promising to read the full Epstein client list on the House floor before he leaves Congress, and Aaron calls it not finishing well. Detransitioner Camille Kiefel reaches a reported $3.5 million settlement against the two Oregon therapists who approved her double mastectomy after brief Zoom calls. A veteran Vox climate journalist named Bryan Walsh admits that over a decade of apocalyptic climate coverage was built on an imaginary worst-case model called RCP8.5, not actual forecasting. Aaron closes with Chris Olah's remarks at the Vatican on AI's unsettling inner workings, and Aaron's own personal story: 82 app builds, two hours saved every day, and a pregnancy app for his wife now pending Apple review.
