## Resource

Jon Herold runs through a busy Thursday news cycle starting with House Republicans joining Democrats on a symbolic war powers vote aimed at Trump's Iran authority, plus fresh Truth Social posts on the Saudi civil nuclear deal and a pointed warning to the Houthis. He digs into a Wall Street Journal report on Schumer's closed door "election doomsday" tabletop exercises, drawing comparisons to the 2020 era Transition Integrity Project, and shares a normie friend's private group chat about voter fatigue heading into the midterms. Other stories include a House Judiciary referral of Jack Smith to the DOJ, a Secret Service leak investigation tied to Vance's detail, rising mortgage and oil prices, and Wall Street firms paying big money for faster access to Trump's Truth Social posts. Sponsor reads, market updates, meetup announcements, and a lively chat session round out the show.
