| | | Good morning. On this day in 1785, John Hancock suddenly resigned as Governor of Massachusetts due to his failing health. 241 years later, the Massachusetts governor is signing massive spending bills and obstructing ICE operations. Perhaps the Commonwealth should consider returning to its rich history of resignations. |

| | | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | 🗳️ FBI searches Fulton County election hub. Federal agents executed a court-authorized search at Fulton County's election operations center tied to the 2020 vote. Officials have not detailed the probe, though the DOJ recently sued the county for access to ballots. The move reopens scrutiny of Georgia's election administration years after multiple recounts. | 🎥 New video shows an unhinged Alex Pretti before shooting. New footage shows Pretti confronting federal agents days before his death, including kicking a vehicle and revealing a firearm in his waistband. The video evidences Pretti's willingness to be hostile and confrontational with federal officers, proving he was not just a peaceful protester. | 🚢 Trump warns Iran as armada arrives. President Trump threatened a "far worse" strike if Tehran refuses a nuclear deal, as a U.S. carrier group entered the region. The warning follows mass protests and prior strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, signaling Trump is not done using military pressure to achieve concessions. | 🇵🇸 Palestinian Authority paid terrorists over $200M last year. The State Department determined that the PA continued its "pay-to-slay" program in 2025, despite President Mahmoud Abbas claiming he ended it. Abbas had promised in February 2025 to end the program but told Fatah weeks later that "even if we only have one cent left, it will be for the prisoners and martyrs." | | The Alex Pretti shooting is a flashpoint for the Trump administration. While it will be (and should be) investigated to ensure these kinds of incidents happen as infrequently as possible, they are likely to continue as long as coordinated agitators intentionally obstruct ICE operations. To keep up mass deportations, ICE needs to continue without hesitation. — Brandon |
