Good morning. This is your daily reminder that the President has lost total control of the Iran War and thus has lost interest. He now only obsesses over his ballroom and schemes to profit off the presidency while gas and grocery prices soar.

tRump is dismantling veterans' health care. His VA is slashing staff, gutting mental health services, and forcing vets into costlier private care. Shorter appointments and longer waits are the new normal. This is a direct attack on the care our veterans earned. mcsp.short.gy/9EbJ
