What Lebanon’s Got To Do With Iran’s Stalled Talks; Plus, Graham Platner’s Sexting Scandal
Iranian government-aligned media says Iran is walking away from the negotiating table and considering resuming its full closure of the Strait of Hormuz after exchanging strikes with the U.S. and in protest of Israel’s expanding military offensive in Lebanon. NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel explains the latest in the war — and how Israel’s deepest incursion into Lebanon in decades is making progress more difficult. Then, NBC News Senior National Politics Reporter Jon Allen explains why Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner’s sexting scandal doesn’t seem to be hurting his poll numbers in Maine and how Democrats nationwide are reacting amid their bid to regain control of the Senate.

Supreme Court Edition, Trump v. Slaughter, Trump v Cook: Who can POTUS terminate?
In March 2025, President Trump fired FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, telling her in an email that allowing her to remain on the commission would be “inconsistent” with his administration’s priorities. A few months later, he fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, alleging that she’d committed mortgage fraud – an allegation that she denies. But can the president fire employees of independent agencies at will? Host Laura Jarrett speaks with Kannon Shanmugam, head of the Supreme Court & Appellate practice at Davis Polk, which won Seila v. CFPB, a landmark constitutional challenge that ultimately invalidated the structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Shanmugam breaks down how he convinced the justices that the CFPB violated the separation of powers – and explains why the court might view the FTC and the Federal Reserve differently.

Then, the Department of Justice has opened a criminal probe into the nonprofit that financed journalist E. Jean Carroll’s civil lawsuits against Donald Trump for sexual abuse and defamation.

Then, NBC News senior White House reporter Peter Nicholas shares what he heard from farmers in Iowa, who are struggling with higher prices for diesel and fertilizer because of the Iran war — and whether it’s changing their feelings about President Donald Trump and the GOP heading into the midterms.
