## Resource

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look at the stories you need to know to start your day, including President Donald Trump announcing the end of the U.S. military mission in Iraq after 23 years as the Trump administration shifts its focus from military operations to economic investment and energy partnerships; newly released Department of Justice documents revealing that former Special Counsel Jack Smith's team accessed text messages involving more than 40 members of Congress and senior Trump administration officials during its investigations, prompting allegations of constitutional violations and renewed scrutiny of the Biden DOJ; and Manhattan's luxury real estate market slowing dramatically after Zohran Mamdani's pied-à-terre tax takes effect, raising new concerns about New York's economy, millionaire flight, and the future of high-end real estate; and much more.
