Trump sent Iran a peace proposal. Iran sent it back. Meanwhile, 50,000 American soldiers are in harm's way, oil barrels hit $101, and only 12% of Americans support boots on the ground. Trump has no exit. The strait of hormuz is shut because it's a kill box for any military solution. But here's what the war coverage is burying: Democrats just flipped Trump's home district in Florida by 22 points. That's 115 special elections since November 2024 — Democrats flipped 12 seats, Republicans flipped zero. The midterms are happening right now. Plus: Markwayne Mullin just got confirmed as DHS Director while owning stock in companies that do business with the agency he now runs. That's not a conflict of interest. That's a business model.
