“As of Wednesday, Ocasio-Cortez had an 18% chance of winning the Democratic nomination on Polymarket, narrowly ahead of Newsom at 17%.”

“Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff ranked third at about 16%.”

“It did so after a lower court judge blocked the Postal Service plan from moving forward for a second time on Tuesday.”

“During the exercise, called Combined Resolve, Ukrainian drone units easily spotted and defeated U.S. troops and armored vehicles on rotation from Fort Hood in Texas.”

“Sen. John Fetterman, his home state colleague, told the Washington Examiner he won’t campaign against McCormick in 2030, an unusual promise from a member of the opposite party and one of the clearest signs of their political alliance yet.”

“But Tafoya also sent a different signal with her win: the tradition of television entertainers diving into Minnesota politics is alive and well.”

“Former pro wrestler Jesse Ventura did it, winning an election for governor in 1998 in a shocking upset. Comedian and SNL veteran Al Franken did it, winning an election for senator in 2008 in a shocking drama (a recount and a few hundred votes). A pair of local TV fixtures, news anchor Rod Grams and entrepreneur and TV-commercial mainstay Rudy Boschwitz, did it, each serving as senators in the last few decades of the 20th century.”

“And now Tafoya is looking to do it too.”

“The results so far this month deliver no clear ideological mandate. Instead, they add to mounting evidence from this year’s primaries of an Democratic appetite for turnover that is cutting across the party’s traditional divisions.”

Bloomberg: Trump claims Hormuz control as U.S. Iran harden their positions.

“The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, notes that Trump’s posts on his own social media site often move financial markets.”

From the lawsuit: “‘President Donald Trump is charging $100,000 per month for advance access to his official government announcements on Truth Social, the social media platform he owns. This scheme is extraordinary, corrupt, and unconstitutional, and Plaintiffs bring this case to stop it.”

“There are indications that Russian intelligence and security services are looking at so-called hybrid warfare operations, which could include infrastructure sabotage or false-flag attacks.”

“Nothing has worked. So Trump’s new strategy is to try doing nothing, and see whether that works. The president is de-emphasizing both diplomacy and military action, and instead placing his faith in economic pressure, in the hope that time can accomplish what force could not.”

“Trump is challenging a Miami judge’s findings that he brought the IRS case in ‘bad faith’ and reached a deal with the Justice Department to end the litigation that had no ‘basis in law.’ She barred Trump and federal agencies from referring to the terms — including immunity from tax audits for past filings — in any official proceedings and referred his personal attorneys for potential disciplinary action.”
