👀 STORIES TO WATCH
🚚 THE “DUCK AND COVER” PRESIDENT
Donald Trump fled his own NATO summit hidden in a catering truck — and his White House spent a month selling a cover story. The Washington Post revealed the decoy Monday: on July 8 in Ankara, cameras filmed Trump boarding Air Force One while Secret Service agents walked him out a far-side door into a catering truck raised on hydraulics. The truck delivered him to a smaller military jet, which flew him out past a credible Iranian assassination threat. Aides ordered the reporters aboard the decoy to close their window shades; the same day, White House officials fed the New York Times a false account of the flight. The Secret Service declined to comment. The Air Force said only that the president's plane was "safe, secure." This is the decoy presidency — willing to create the threat, yet he’s the first to run and hide when it threatens him personally.
⚖️ TRUMP IS CHANGING LAWS HE WANTS TO BREAK
Assistant Attorney General T. Elliot Gaiser signed a Justice Department opinion declaring Trump can wall off his talks with private advisers — anyone, anywhere — from Congress. The same morning it surfaced, the ACLU hauled Trump's re-issued birthright orders back before the judge who already beat him. Trump lost at the Supreme Court on tariffs, birthright and the Fed; his lawyers answered every loss with a new memo — not to win, to stall. Each memo buys months while subpoenas sit unanswered. A president does not get to amend the law because judges rule against him. Trump is trying anyway, in writing.
🕸️ BLANCHE'S THURSDAY DEADLINE
Todd Blanche has until Thursday, 1 p.m., to prove his Epstein redactions to Judge Emmet Sullivan — documentation he has failed to produce twice. He owes the handwritten FBI notes, the Federal Register justifications, and an answer on a $1,000-a-day contempt fine. The notes hold four FBI interviews with a woman who says Epstein introduced her to Trump in 1984, at about thirteen. Trump denies it.
🗳️ GOP IS BACKING DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS
Republicans spent $3.6 million boosting socialist Francesca Hong in Wisconsin's Democratic primary — buying the opponent they believe Tom Tiffany beats in November. Six states vote today. Trump called the winners "jihadists" from the Oval Office Monday. The fear is the product; the RGA bought the target. Polls close at 9.
💉 GHOST SHOTS
Trump ordered the MMR vaccine split into three shots no company makes and cut the childhood schedule from 18 diseases to 11. Pediatricians called it dangerous. Measles sits at a 35-year high. Utah's children are counting.
🎯 THE BIGGER PICTURE
Trump likes to brag that he won the Iran war — so why hide in a catering truck from an alleged Iranian assassination attempt? The image: a US president running in fear from a threat while leaving his press corps behind as bait. More dangerously, we can’t tell whether the threat — or the escape plan — was real, partially real, or part of an election narrative. Trump hiding in a catering truck from a threat he swears he defeated is MAGA’s core conceit. Trump defines the threat — Muslim theocracy, the red scare, the communists — designed to lure GOP voters to vote for them, but when rhetoric turns into reality, and the president’s life is at risk, he’s the first to run and hide. Where the laws contradict him, he merely rewrites them. The question voters must ask: do they want two more years of hiding in their basements from the imagined fear outside — or are they ready to return to an America that doesn’t need to fear the world?
Eighty-four days to the midterms.

The Baku wires investigation — Trump attacked the deal; his family banked millions.
Trump Attacked the Deal. His Family Banked Millions. 17 Americans Are Dead.
On September 9, 2015, Donald Trump stood on the West Lawn of the Capitol, with Ted Cruz at his shoulder, addressing a Tea Party crowd in the late summer heat. "Never, ever, ever in my life have I seen any transaction so incompetently negotiated as our deal with Iran," he told the crowd, who roared in approval.
The Lame DUCK AND COVER PRESIDENT🤣
Hahaha 😆 The turkey escaped from Turkey. No concern about the journalists on Air Force One.
