## Resource

Jon Herold comes in Wednesday frazzled from summer kid logistics and ready to make sense of a busy primary night. Spencer Pratt made the LA mayoral runoff against Karen Bass, California's results are still trickling in as expected, and Jon is not confident November goes any better in a system he considers terminally compromised. Trump confirmed on camera that he did call Netanyahu crazy and curse at him for bombing Lebanon, calling himself a wartime president in the same breath, and Jon finds the wartime president framing notably worth paying attention to. The SPLC got a superseding indictment adding detail on $4.1 million paid to informants who participated in cross burnings and KKK activities, and Jon wants to know if anyone in the truth community is on that payroll. Kurt Olsen just joined the DOJ grand conspiracy probe under DiGenova, and Jon has a mixed reaction he is saving for an upcoming Ash conversation because she has reservations he respects. Todd Blanche told the Senate the anti-weaponization fund is simply not moving forward, period, and Jon makes the principled argument he has been making all along: taxpayer-funded payouts without personal accountability for the people who committed the crimes does not fix anything. Trump's Iowa endorsement also just lost.
