Summary
The U.S. is striking Iran again in the Strait of Hormuz — and they waited until after markets closed on a Friday to do it. The MOU is done. Meanwhile on the home front, Senate Majority Leader John Thune is staring down a censure vote from his own state party after South Dakota Republicans unanimously advanced it over his handling of the SAVE America Act. And in New York City, newly elected Mayor Zohran Mamdani just froze rent for two years. Communism is having a moment.
