Better option❗: Trump’s apparent willingness to cut or even consider cutting a deal on Ukraine without Zelenskyy has Washington and the most of the media losing its mind
Effectively, Trump would trade Putin’s “help” with Iran for Ukraine.
It’s a terrible, awful deal.
BUT🤷: What is the alternative — another year of war? Another 2 years of war?
The Biden administration had 3 years to find another solution – they couldn’t.
Should we fund Ukraine forever?
Watch tonight📺: Rep. Adam Smith on what Democrats must offer if they are going to keep criticizing Trump on Ukraine.
Shot: An ad featuring Ohio gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s estranged mom calling her daughter a fraud is stunning.
Chaser: News from Acton’s brother that her biological mother stayed married to the stepfather that allegedly raped Acton at 12 is an ice-cold bucket of water.
📰Best write-up — “Attack Ad Featuring Candidate’s Mother Turn Ohio Governor’s Race Even Uglier,” headlines The New York Times
Gloves off 🥊: Get ready for cruelty like we have never seen in the last 2 weeks.
Fair question❓: Who is really up for grabs in the last 2 weeks?

No More Elections🗳️
👍Some good news from the campaign trail — more people are voting than ever before
📈Record numbers in Texas
And in Georgia
Basically all of America
Cue the snark🤷: What about all the Democrats who warned us in 2024 that if Trump won, it would be “the last election”?
🤦And that’s the point — it’s a dumb campaign strategy — vote for us because the other guys will end democracy — be afraid.
Right now‼️: This is important because it’s Trump’s strategy
Last night🗣️: Trump — “If you want to see what is at stake in this election, just look at what’s happening in France, a once great nation that is being conquered, looted, and burned to the ground by migrants, jihadists, and communists who hate Christianity...When you see burning steeples and raging fires in France, just remember that is what the radical Democrats want to do to America. They expect to do it.”
Trump and Republicans’ playbook for 2026 looks very much like Democrats’ for 2024
It didn’t work then — it’s not working now
Look back🔙: Reagan told us that “if fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism.” he was right.
Worldview 🌎: The socialists want to tear America apart and destroy the fundamentals that make America exceptional
This is fundamentally different from the mainstream right’s worst tendencies.
We see that on display in France
Morning in America: Reagan also understood the power of a dream and the future —
MAGA is similar; it’s inherently hopeful — it’s the promise of a better tomorrow.
Elections are about the future — whoever promises Americans a better future wins, and it appears that lesson is lost on both sides.
Again🤦: Chief Democrat fearmonger Elissa Slotkin now says Trump will create “manufactured outrage” to distract from the election. Remember in 2022 when armed gangs of militias would take over polling places.
Please stop.
Tonight📺: Steve Cortes, Mark McKinnon and Charlie Dent
Omar Investigation‼️
👀Rep. Ilhan Omar has disappeared — and it might just show that Trump’s DOJ has a little more on her than people claiming this is just a political witch hunt want to admit.
ICYMI: Our exclusive reporting on the Omar investigation.
‼️Fraud is front and center for Americans right now — 89% of Americans think corruption in the government is widespread.
For Democrats, it’s about the Trump family profiting off the government.
We’ll have more on this tomorrow.
For Republicans, it means healthcare fraud and what Somalis took from our government
Nobody better exemplifies what Republicans mean by fraud than Rep. Ilhan Omar
She’s Somali, accused of marrying her brother and is subject to more investigations — and now, she has disappeared.
There’s a political and legal reason why we haven’t seen or heard from her recently.
Border czar Tom Homan hinted this investigation is bigger than we think
Trump announced today his Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program — that will give away cash for tips that help catch fraudsters.
Today, federal agents searched several New York businesses over suspected Medicaid fraud.
Tonight📺: Alan Dershowitz on how Republicans convince everyone this investigation into Rep. Omar isn’t just a political witch hunt.
Plus, legally, is this a good idea for Omar to be so quiet?

Out of Touch💸
😡We told you yesterday how the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, understands the growing anger in America against the rich. And he is actually going to do something about it.
Flipside🤦: United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby, who makes about $32 million a year, is saying we need a wealth tax
Mind you, the United CEO has not built anything in his life.
Let’s be real🤷: I don’t want my country run like United Airlines
CEOs need to stop telling us how to live our lives — get out of our lives and go be a CEO
Musk is being smart putting his money where his mouth is — I don’t see CEOs writing checks to the treasury
If Kirby believes the rich should give more, why doesn’t he voluntarily give more to the government himself, rather than advocating for a tax on others
This all just shows how tone deaf CEOs and celebrities are
Look at Kylie Jenner, who wore a $50 million bra in the Victoria’s Secret fashion show.
This is just one more example of why people in America are angry.
Look back🔙: This is starting to feel like the U.K. in the early 2000s where you had the aristocratic class and the working class
The aristocratic class had all of the tabloid models, influencers and celebrities
And then everybody else was just everybody else
‼️America has never really had a huge, disparate wealth gap — and there’s something scary about that.
American exceptionalism isn’t exactly alive and well anymore — and the fundamental fairness that makes America so great is now broken.
And let me tell you — the CEO of United Airlines is not the person to solve it.
As far as I’m concerned, when it comes to Eloise Slotkin, If I was advising her, I would sat to her to shut up and stop it because she’s trying to scare people to not work for President Trump, and that’s none of her business, and she has absolutely no credibility.Dawn
No real wage gap in the past? How about the late 1890’s into the 1900’s — the robber Barron era. It seems to me that there was a significant gap between day Rockefeller and the guy or gal in the garment district sweat shops. We managed to correct that gap — can we do it again?
