On tonight’s show I’ll be discussing the escalating war with Iran, as the U.S. launches new attacks on Iranian oil tankers and Tehran steps up its attempts to strike American warships and threatens commercial shipping in the Gulf.

I’ll also look at Iceland’s furious response to Trump posting a map showing the American flag covering Iceland, Greenland, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean; the Republican midterm convention in Texas; South Park’s latest mockery of Trump; the far right’s gains in Germany; and new concerns over attacks on Germany’s electrical grid.

Plus, Trump’s latest claims about Michael Cohen, Republicans warming to the idea of raising taxes on the wealthy to save Social Security, the controversial State Department hiring of a former DeSantis staffer who promoted a video containing a Nazi symbol, and the latest on Ukraine -- including Trump’s call with Putin, new European military support for Kyiv, suspected Russian drones entering Moldova and Romania, and Hungary expelling Russian diplomats.
