## Resource

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid have a very good Tuesday. Thomas Massie just lost his primary to a Trump endorsed candidate, Bill Cassidy went down the day before, and Trump just yanked his Cornyn endorsement in Texas and pinned it on Ken Paxton, which sent John Thune into a televised meltdown. The duo argues this is the establishment quietly getting hauled out before November, and the so called America first dissenters are the visible piece of a much bigger infiltration operation. Alpha then drops the receipt he has been sitting on for twenty six hours. A whistleblower contacted him alleging an October 2024 dinner meeting in the Hamilton County Ohio area, an attorney connected to a very famous homicide trial, and a roster of influencers many of you interact with daily on X. He reads the post verbatim for legal reasons. From there the guys explain why Massie conceded without crying fraud, why the Save America Act is supposed to fail, and why August is the likely window for a national emergency on election integrity. Plus Harmeet Dhillon's voter roll lawsuit against twenty nine states, Joe DiGenova's Fort Pierce team for the Brennan grand jury, Alpha's $1,776,000,000 prediction coming true, and the six story military command center quietly being built under the East Wing.
