America is a country of Cannes, a place where elbow grease and imagination create possibility.

When faced with obstacles, we don't break down. We break through.

Fighting together, we can recommit our can-do ingenuity to end cancer as we know it through expanded investments in research.

Congress, increase funding for cancer research now.

Good morning. I'm Robert O'Shaughnessy filling in for Jake and Anna, and this is The Daily Punch, brought to you by Punch Bull News. It's Tuesday, May 26th, 2026. Here are the stories we're following today. Number one, mystery packs royal democratic primaries. Number two,

the Cornyn-Paxon brawl reaches the finish line. And number three, U.S. forces hit Iran as peace talks continue. Let's kick it off with our top story today written by Ali Mutnik, who writes

that something strange is happening in several crucial

House Democratic primaries. Mysterious super PACs are quietly emerging and spending heavily to boost

candidates whom many top Democrats view as less formidable or even toxic in general elections.

Figuring out who is behind these super PACs is proving to be nearly impossible

as their operators are very skilled at covering their tracks. Democrats insist this is a Republican

effort to meddle in Democratic primaries to ensure that they face the weakest candidate in November.

The largest of these groups, the lead left pack, does have at least one

Republican tie. Its website's metadata included a link to Winred, the Republican online fundraising

clearinghouse. They were unsuccessful in elevating their preferred candidate in Pennsylvania,

but they were successful in Nebraska.

Allie breaks down all the dollars spent by these mystery super PACs in detail in our AM edition,

and I recommend you check that out.

This year, over 2.1 million people will hear the words,

You have cancer.

That's 2.1 million facing one of the world's deadliest killers.
