Donald Trump threatened to erase Iranian civilization over Project Freedom speedboat harassment in the Strait of Hormuz, where the US military sank six Iranian vessels and Iran simultaneously claims its missiles struck a US warship, with both governments insisting the other side is lying while oil prices climb and the Pentagon shrugs; Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito — who spiked Roe v. Wade four years ago — granted a one-week hold on a Fifth Circuit order banning telehealth mifepristone access, a drug used safely by seven million Americans, after Louisiana argued that mail-order abortion pills undermine a near-total ban so airtight that national abortions nearly doubled since 2022; Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche indicted former FBI Director James B. Comey over Instagram seashells spelling "86 47," a phrase Blanche acknowledged appears constantly online without producing charges, citing additional secret evidence he cannot describe — the Justice Department's second prosecution attempt against a Trump critic in 18 months, by the same men who declined to investigate emails in which grown men discuss raping children; Trump teased imminent UFO file releases while Jeffrey Epstein's client list remains classified, extending a transparency record covering dead presidents, murdered civil rights leaders, and possible extraterrestrials before living humans in documented criminal networks; the Koch-funded Cato Institute found immigrants generated a $539 billion net fiscal surplus in 2023 alone and undocumented immigrants paid $3 trillion in taxes over 30 years, research the administration actively deporting them has not addressed; and Trump dropped $12 million into Indiana state Senate primaries to punish seven Republicans for a redistricting vote, using ads that never mention redistricting and falsely attack senators over a Chinese farmland bill every one of them voted correctly on, one of which opens on a bunny and a toilet paper roll. The seashells arraigned. The speedboats sunk. The Hoosiers vote tomorrow. Tape rolls.
