1. Trump Threatens Iran Over the Strait of Hormuz
   President Donald Trump is threatening to strike Iran's power plants if Tehran attacks more ships. Erick Erickson examines whether rising oil prices and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, Red Sea, and Black Sea will finally force Trump to act.

2. Trump's Base Turns Against the Iran War
   Support for the Iran war among Trump's base has fallen sharply as Iran rebuilds its nuclear program at Pickaxe Mountain. Erickson argues that an unfinished mission has left Iran stronger and raises the difficult question of whether regime change is now the only viable solution.

1. Iran's Deeply Buried Nuclear Threat
   I explain why Iran's Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site could withstand conventional bunker-buster attacks and why stopping the nuclear program may require far more than another bombing campaign.

2. Medicaid Fraud Crackdown
   I examine the Trump administration's decision to freeze $1 billion in Medicaid payments to Minnesota and California as both states face allegations of widespread fraud and inadequate enforcement.

3. Noncitizens on New Jersey's Voter Rolls
   I break down how motor-voter registration added 6,000 noncitizens to New Jersey's voter rolls, why some appear to have voted, and why election integrity demands accountability without exaggeration.

3. Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks Paramount-Warner Merger
   A progressive lawsuit could delay Paramount's acquisition of Warner Brothers and any resulting changes at CNN. I look at why the left is fighting the deal and whether viewers would even notice a difference.

4. Iran Conflict Sends Oil Prices Toward $90
   Oil prices are surging as President Trump threatens consequences for Iran and the Houthis target Saudi shipping. Continued volatility could raise consumer prices, disrupt grocery costs, and worsen inflation.
