Summary

Trump calls off Iran strike again, the Mangione murder weapon ruling, Gavin Newsom's "break the glass" threat, and Rededicate 250 headline today's A.M. Update. Trump posts on Truth Social that Gulf state leaders asked him to hold off on a planned attack on Iran — again — as Aaron flatly says he no longer thinks there's a plan. Luigi Mangione loses his bid to suppress the murder weapon at trial but wins a small evidence ruling, while three women from his fan club show up at the courthouse to celebrate and say things Aaron calls "wack." A security guard is killed in a shooting at San Diego's largest mosque as two apparent suspects are found dead nearby, and a fast-moving wind-driven wildfire scorches more than 500 acres in Simi Valley. Gavin Newsom hints at a "break the glass" scenario if Democrats get frozen out of California's gubernatorial jungle primary. Zohran Mamdani tries to riff on Reagan's famous government quote and Aaron isn't impressed. All four crew members eject safely after two Navy EA-18G Growlers collide at the Gunfighter Skies Air Show at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, Texas Children's Hospital agrees to a $10 million settlement and opens the nation's first detransition clinic, and Aaron closes with JD Vance's Rededicate 250 speech and a challenge to listeners not to take religious freedom for granted.
