An F-15E was shot down over Iran today with one crew member still unaccounted for, just days after the president told the country the war was essentially won. Gas is now $4.09 nationally, up 37 percent since the conflict began. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, CENTCOM lied about the missing aircraft, and Iran lied about what kind of plane it was. Both sides are running disinformation while real families wait for real answers.

Pam Bondi was fired, and her interim replacement is Todd Blanch, the president's personal attorney from his 34-count felony conviction. The first two cabinet firings of this administration are both women. Neither is getting a pardon.

New polling shows Trump has lost white working class voters. Among Americans earning under $50,000 a year, his disapproval sits at 70 percent. The narrative is cracking.

And we close with something bigger: Ye performing on a set designed to look like a dying planet while the actual world buckles under war, tariffs, and AI-driven labor displacement. Silicon Valley is now trialing 72-hour work weeks. Music producers, audio engineers, studio professionals are watching their livelihoods get absorbed by tools that tell users they are artists now. We have been here before as a species. Staring down something enormous and deciding whether to let it win.

Make the earth move slower. Stay lit.
