Today's five.

The ink on a US-Iran peace deal was barely dry before Iran's Revolutionary Guard declared the Strait of Hormuz closed — which is not, generally, how peace deals are supposed to go. Iran cited Israeli strikes in Lebanon as a breach of the memorandum's first clause. The US military denied the strait was actually closed. Both things being simultaneously claimed is a useful window into how stable this agreement is. JD Vance is in Switzerland anyway, joined by Iran, Pakistan, and Qatar, with a 60-day clock to reach a final deal. Trump threatened US tolls on the strait if they don't get there.

I can't write this card.

The sources provided don't contain a coherent news story — they're a crossword puzzle listing, a CBS Sunday Morning rundown, a PBS streaming signup page, a Dear Abby column, and a local obituary digest. There's no actual event, development, or situation to synthesize.

nwsly cards require something that happened. This doesn't have that.

If you have a real story you'd like me to write — with actual reporting and facts to draw from — I'm ready.

The U.S. military is apparently an $80 billion problem away from running out of operational funds this summer, and Congress doesn't have a formal request on its desk yet. The Wall Street Journal reported the shortfall, citing people familiar with discussions between Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg and lawmakers. The $80 billion figure still needs White House budget office sign-off before it becomes an official ask — meaning the process of asking for the money hasn't formally started, but the money is already running out. The gap between institutional timeline and fiscal reality is doing a lot of work here.

Painting a national landmark "American flag blue" and watching it turn green anyway is a specific kind of problem that vandalism doesn't quite explain. Trump's $14 million Reflecting Pool renovation — rushed for the country's 250th anniversary — went algae, got hit with chemicals, and then the painted lining started peeling. His explanation: vandals. Federal arrests were made, he said, though no details materialized. The pool was supposed to be a showpiece. It is currently a lesson in what happens when you paint over a problem instead of fixing it.

Early-June fundraising reports dropped and JWB Real Estate was, predictably, at the top of Donna Deegan's donor list. Florida Politics called them "a reliable ally of the administration" — which is the polite way of saying they show up every single cycle. Local real estate money and city hall have always had an understanding, and Jacksonville is not an exception to that rule. The details on the actual dollar amounts are thin, but the pattern is the point. When the filing window opens, the same names tend to appear.
