I just finished going live with Senator Adam Schiff. We spoke about everything from Trump’s $400 million gift from Qatar, what Senate Democrats are doing to block Department of Justice nominations, and the future of Medicaid in America. To all those who joined, thank you so much! To those who missed it, I uploaded it above.
I can only do interviews like these because of you and your support. Something Senator Schiff and I have in common is that MAGA has attacked us relentlessly. I’m not backing down or going anywhere, so please subscribe today, and allow me to continue doing this work.
With that, here’s all the other news you missed today:
Pilots flying into Denver International Airport on Monday briefly lost contact with air traffic controllers for about two minutes due to multiple radio transmitter issues, according to the FAA. Officials explained that one frequency failed, and when the backup also went down, controllers used an emergency frequency to reestablish communication and direct pilots to a working channel.
A veteran air traffic controller, shaken by a recent near-miss in the skies near Newark, told the Wall Street Journal, “I don’t want to be responsible for killing 400 people.”

Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old pregnant nurse from Atlanta, has been kept on life support for over three months after being declared brain dead, in order to sustain her pregnancy under Georgia’s strict abortion laws. Her condition stemmed from untreated blood clots, and her family believes earlier intervention could have saved her life.
Tulsi Gabbard has dismissed two senior intelligence officials involved in a recent assessment that challenged Trump’s claim that Tren de Aragua is controlled by the Venezuelan regime.
Attorney General Pam Bondi sold between $1 million and $5 million in Trump Media shares on the same day Trump announced steep new tariffs that triggered a market drop, ProPublica reports.
Trump’s political team commissioned a poll showing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene trailing by double digits in a potential 2026 Georgia Senate race. He reportedly shared the results with her to dissuade her from running.
See you in the morning.
