## Resource

July 1st, 2026; 10am: Money Power Politics continues into the second hour. The Supreme Court has wrapped up one of its most consequential terms in decades, leaving the President with even more power and putting Congress in what appears to be the back seat. Plus, Trump rakes in $1.4B in cyrpto earnings last year, an industry he once called a "scam." And, Oman's latest proposal for the Strait of Hormuz goes against what the U.S. wants. David Rohde, Max Rose, Molly Jong-Fast and James Sample join the Group Chat today.
