## Resource

Jon Herold spends Taco Tuesday weighing in on Trump's teased primetime address this Thursday, which insiders suggest may reveal declassified election intelligence and voting machine vulnerabilities, while journalist John Solomon urges caution about the swirling leaks. Jon walks through Trump's own comments ruling out foul play in Lindsey Graham's death, the appointment of Graham's sister to fill his Senate seat, and renewed speculation about what a "clean slate" election reset could mean. He also covers Trump swapping a planned Strait of Hormuz shipping fee for new Gulf trade deals, the formal notification to Congress restarting the clock on the Iran conflict, Schumer's opposition to the defense bill, and a fresh inflation report. Sponsor reads, some good natured ribbing about mullets and Lindsey Graham jokes, and a healthy dose of live chat banter round out a fairly newsy Tuesday.
