## Resource

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including Democratic Senator John Fetterman breaking with his own party by warning that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is inviting a constitutional crisis after pledging to defy recent Supreme Court rulings that strengthen President Donald Trump's immigration agenda; new Commerce Department data showing the U.S. economy grew faster than expected in the first quarter as business investment, artificial intelligence spending, and exports helped offset slowing consumer demand; and France reporting roughly 1,000 excess deaths after one of Europe's most severe heat waves on record, with officials warning the death toll could continue to rise as extreme temperatures strain public health systems across the continent, and much more.
