Description

Watch out for AI-generated impersonation scams, Trump approval ratings at post-January 6th lows, war with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz closure, oil futures above $110 a barrel, the 60-day War Powers Act deadline, Pete Hegseth's Senate and House testimony, Republican rejection of Democratic war authorization proposals, Trump sons' no-bid drone contracts, Jerome Powell's refusal to vacate the Fed, Louisiana v. Callais and the Supreme Court's majority-minority district ruling, Republican gerrymandering from Operation REDMAP to the present, and the Democratic push for retaliatory redistricting.
