🚨 IRAN CLAIMS CREDIT FOR GRAHAM’S DEATH AS CONSPIRACY THEORIES COMPETE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

👀 STORIES TO WATCH
⚰️ IRAN, RUSSIA AND ISRAEL INFLUENCE GRAHAM
Lindsey Graham died the way the medical examiner says he died — an aortic dissection, preliminary, natural, toxicology pending. Iranian state TV anchors congratulated the nation on his death, and a regime LEGO cartoon depicted the assassination — claims the autopsy doesn’t support. Days earlier, Trump revealed he tops Iran’s kill list, with standing orders to bomb Iran if anything happens to him. Even with Air Force One grounded, we can’t confirm if an actual hit list exists, that Trump and Graham were on it.
That has not deterred the blame-and-claim conspiracies mushrooming across social media. A look at the playing global field who influenced Graham suggests other players would benefit from Graham being out of the way, and could be perpetuating these narratives, including Russia and Israel.
Graham spent his last night briefing Trump by phone on the breakthrough he’d announced Friday in Kyiv: after more than a year of his negotiating, the White House had agreed to back his bill punishing any country that buys Russian oil — the squeeze designed to force Putin to the peace table. No one else can drive that bill. Netanyahu’s far right, meanwhile, and a normally pro-Israel Graham has also been shopping a Saudi-Israeli deal built on a path to a Palestinian state which angered Israel’s far right.
🕵️ NEW DOCUMENTS TONIGHT ON THE SPY BESIDE THE FIRST LADY
Narativ revealed this weekend how Paolo Zampolli — the Trumps’ closest friend, the man who introduced Donald to Melania — connects to a Russian influence operation. He texts the First Lady, travels with the Vice President, spent thirty years working the Russians, and serves the US government today without a security clearance. No network has touched it; no paper has printed his name — a live national-security story, and only Narativ is reporting it. Tonight Amanda Ungaro moves it: 7 PM ET, her second live Narativ interview, walking through new documents. Free to watch live, once. Paid after that. Be there at 7.
🛢️ IRAN HITS THREE US ALLIES — BOTH SIDES QUIT THE CEASEFIRE
Iran struck US facilities in Bahrain and radar sites in Oman over the weekend; CENTCOM hit back at dozens of targets, using attack sea drones for the first time; Jordan intercepted four missiles, and traders drove oil up three percent by Monday’s open.
🚔 ICE KILLS AGAIN — ONE DEAD IN MAINE
ICE killed again this morning in Biddeford, Maine — its second fatal shooting in a week, at least its fourth death this year. Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau announced it because ICE wouldn’t. Federal agents police American streets under an immigration banner, and everyone but ICE does the counting.
⚖️ MAXWELL’S INTERVIEWER FACES THE SENATE — BLACK FACES THE OATH
Wednesday the Senate holds its confirmation hearing for Todd Blanche — the man who personally interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell in prison — for Attorney General. Thursday, Leon Black testifies under oath about his Epstein NDAs.
🎯 THE BIGGER PICTURE
In every story above, someone powerful worked out of sight. Powerful men claimed a senator’s death the medical examiner ruled natural. A Russian-cultivated fixer reached the First Lady, and editors chose not to look. The men who could end the Hormuz war profit from it instead. Federal agents kill in American streets and answer no questions. And the man who managed the Epstein cover-up now reaches for the Justice Department — because prosecutors cannot get you if you run the prosecutors. Subterfuge, all day, everywhere. Zev sits with Amanda Ungaro at 7 tonight. Wednesday, watch the Senate.

There has never been a scandal like this involving a First Lady of the United States.
Thanks for keeping my head able to focus and not explode. You control the anger! I don’t understand how you do this! I appreciate your content, facts and no BS!
I used to like you and value your reporting, but you’re an Israel simp that I’m stuck with a subscription to. You support a genocide apartheid state.
