This was bleeding obvious from Todd Blanche's testimony, except to the 100 journalists who sprinted to their editors with a "Todd Blanche Says Slush Fund is Dead" story. And today, Blanche got the full-time nod bc he knows journalists are painfully easy to manipulate.

The marriage of the far-right Christian Nationalists and the Tech Bros who fund them continues to be underreported. One group has political power. One group has unlimited cash & tools. Together they have the potential to seize all levers of power in America.

There was no imminent threat. The narrative keeps shifting. The nuclear claims are contradictory. So let’s start there. As we just saw in the Pentagon press-con, there is no clear strategy. This bipartisan Iran War Powers Resolution has been sitting with Speaker Johnson since June 2025. 🧵

Trump and Republicans keep getting asked what’s next in Iran. Their answers are “hopefully” this or “we hope” that. Hope is not a strategy, and a plan built on hope alone is how we end up in decades-long wars that cost thousands of American lives.

👀 The unverified claims are impossible to ignore. An anonymous tip from someone who claimed to have worked at the ranch said Mr. Epstein concealed the deaths of two abused girls by ordering them to be buried in the hills outside the ranch. It is unclear whether the FBI ever looked into the tip.

Former New Mexico Attorney General Balderas details how the FBI forcefully shut down New Mexico's criminal probe into what was up at Epstein's Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe Co. The feds insisted that they were running their own criminal probe and that NM's involvement would not be tolerated. It was a lie.
