Redistricting momentum keeps building with Indiana, Florida, and SCOTUS on deck, while Dell pumps millions into kids’ accounts and Hegseth vows to hammer narco-boats as Dems look the other way. Trump reassures 2028 won’t be him, MN drowns in Somali-linked fraud, DOJ snoops on Jordan, and yet another foreign-born student plots terror. Immigration remains Trump’s +21 powerhouse as Afghan exemptions under Rutabaga implode and Bessent cuts illegals’ tax perks. Culturally, Texas Tech reins in race-theory fluff, Zoomers can’t do math, and ICE targets the Twin Cities fraud swamp. Copper hits records signaling explosive growth, Zillow kills climate-hysteria scores, and data centers may soon need BYOP. Globally, China rigs AI with censored kill-switches, renewable scams unravel, and Mexico feels remittance pain. Entertainment is a circus of outraged influencers and terrible “Wicked” songs, hotels near the Grand Canyon close from water shortages, Pfizer’s latest vax flop fails, spike proteins appear in cancer biopsies, and—shocker—kids don’t go outside anymore."}
