1. The headlines this month all say the same thing. Georgia and Michigan audited their voter rolls, the rolls are clean, noncitizen voting is a myth, case closed. I actually read what the auditors found. It's not the story you were told. 💎🧵 2. Georgia first. Auditors went through about 7.9 million registrations and found roughly 2,570 potential noncitizens who had been placed on active or inactive voter status at some point. 407 of those registrations had a voting history.

1. Everyone is chasing the same detail out of the new Butler documents this morning. An anonymous donor paid to cremate Thomas Crooks. I’ve gone through what Grassley released, and I think that’s the wrong thing to be angry about. There’s something worse in there. 💎🧵 2. First the detail itself. A note attached to the FBI’s summary of an interview with Crooks’ father reads: anonymous donor paid for cremation. It came through the family’s attorney. The records don’t name the donor, don’t give an amount, don’t explain a thing.

1. Something happened today that has never happened in modern history, and I’ve barely seen it mentioned in American media. Air raid sirens sounded in Mecca. The holiest city in Islam. Fired on by Iran’s proxy. 🧵 2. Saudi Civil Defense pushed an emergency alert through the National Early Warning Platform warning of potential danger in Mecca, along with Jeddah and Taif. Residents told to get inside, away from windows, off the rooftops. Three hours later, the all clear.

1. The Clarity Act just died in the Senate. More than forty votes against, and Bitcoin slid to $76,000 while the roll was still being called. Everybody is about to tell you Democrats killed it over Trump. That's the cover story. 🧵 2. First, what died. The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. Six hundred pages. It would have been the first real federal rulebook for crypto in American history, sorting every coin into either the SEC's jurisdiction or the CFTC's. The House passed it over a year ago.

1. Two years later everybody is still asking the same question about Thomas Crooks. Why. And because nobody can answer it, almost nobody has read the documents that came out this year answering a different question. How he was allowed to get on that roof. 🧵 2. New FBI files landed today, released by Chuck Grassley. They're interviews with Crooks' own father. The picture is a kid nobody could see. His father's words: when Thomas was born he did not scream, and he was always quiet from that point on.

1. The Supreme Court just killed the mail ballot rule for November. The vote isn’t the story. The name on it is. Brett Kavanaugh has now personally stopped three election integrity measures in three weeks, and today Alito and Thomas dissented against him. 🧵 2. Today’s order was unsigned and said the administration is unlikely to succeed on the merits. But Kavanaugh put his own words on it: applying the Postal Service rule in the 2026 midterms would be “arbitrary and capricious.” The block stands through November 3.

1. For four days Scott Bessent told everyone to watch Monday. A "large bank" would be sanctioned. He wouldn't name it, wouldn't even name the country. Everyone guessed Turkey, China, the UAE. It was Russia. Here's what actually happened today. 🧵 2. Treasury designated VTB Bank, one of Russia's largest, under the IRAN sanctions authority. Not the Russia authority. The Iran one. That distinction is the entire story, and almost nobody is going to explain it to you.

1. Three of the biggest AI companies just agreed to slow down for safety. Sounds responsible. Trump's own AI czar called it a cartel. He's right, and almost nobody has explained why. 🧵 2. Saturday, Anthropic's CEO published a 3,800-word essay called "We Must Pace the Frontier." The thesis: we must slow the pace at which we improve AI capabilities. Within hours, Sam Altman and Elon Musk both agreed publicly.

1. Three American soldiers were killed in their sleep at a base in Jordan on July 17. We now know Iran had high-resolution satellite photos of that base, and U.S. officials say Tehran got them from Chinese entities. Nobody is talking about this. 🧵 2. Their names: Army 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan. Pvt. Isabella Gonzales. Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad. Four more Americans were wounded. Iranian ballistic missiles hit the housing area where they were sleeping at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base. Say their names today.

1. An American surrogate came forward this week with something that should stop this country cold. She signed a contract to carry a baby. She later learned the man she was carrying for reportedly has more than 100 children. Her words: “Feels like he’s creating an army.” 🧵 2. The intended father is a Chinese businessman named Xu Bo. He posted a photo of more than 100 young children seated in rows. He disputes the number and says he has custody of 12 born through surrogacy here in the United States. Twelve or a hundred, ask yourself why.

1. Trump announced $500 rebate checks going to a million Americans in October, and every outlet ran the same headline. Almost none of them told you the number that actually explains why it's happening. Here's the part they buried. 🧵 2. The checks go to about 1 million people in the 30 states that use . One catch the press mostly skipped: you only qualify if you get NO premium subsidy. In other words, the people who pay full freight and get nothing back. For once, they're first in line.healthcare.gov

1. A private citizen sat on a jury, listened to the evidence, and voted his conscience. Nine days later his name, his photo, his town and his ex-wife’s handwritten statement are on the internet in front of 182,000 people. The jury list is under a court seal. 🧵 2. Judge Sullivan impounded the names of all 12 jurors until at least Sept. 18, citing safety, after a woman was arrested for trying to film and intimidate the panel. That seal is still in effect right now. It didn’t hold.

1. Two weeks ago Trump signed what he called the biggest oil deal in world history. 65 billion barrels. Then Iran, the convention and the 9/11 anniversary buried it. Almost nobody has explained what’s actually in it. Here’s the deal. 🧵 2. Venezuela sits on 303 billion barrels of proven reserves, the largest on earth. More than Saudi Arabia. For 20 years Chavez and Maduro nationalized it, ran it into the ground, and sold what was left to China and Russia while their own people ate out of garbage bags.

1. Trump landed in Dublin this morning and the Irish establishment had spent a week bracing for a disaster that never came. 150 lawyers signed a letter. Protest groups organized. A message got carved into a beach. Here’s what actually happened. 🧵 2. His first stop was President Catherine Connolly, a progressive who has called his Iran campaign “a deliberate assault on international law” and once described him as volatile and a bully. She greeted him with a military honor guard. He called her “terrific.” That’s how it went all day.

1. Here's a 9/11 story you won't hear today, and it happened seven months ago. The health program that keeps 9/11 responders alive was headed for a $3 billion shortfall. In February, President Trump signed the fix. Funded through 2090. Nobody covered it. 🧵 2. Background. The World Trade Center Health Program covers more than 135,000 people from all 50 states. Monitoring, treatment, cancer care. It was created in 2010 and reauthorized in 2015. But the funding formula was built on the old math, and enrollment and costs kept climbing.

1. Massachusetts Bar Counsel filed a four-count disciplinary petition against Kevin Reddington on June 23, two months BEFORE the Lindsay Clancy trial started. Nobody covering the trial mentioned it. Here's what's in it. 🧵 2. So while Reddington spent two weeks attacking a judge, a DA, and a private citizen on the jury, he had a formal misconduct case sitting with the Board of Bar Overseers, the body that can suspend or disbar Massachusetts lawyers. Cameras were calling him "Better Call Kevin." Nobody asked about this.

1. One year ago today, Charlie Kirk was shot and killed on a college campus for doing the one thing he always did: sitting at a table and talking to anyone who walked up. NPR says his movement has "an uncertain future." Let me tell you what actually happened this year. 🧵 2. In the first week after he died, 32,000 people contacted Turning Point USA asking to join. Students who'd never been political started chapters. One kid at a Christian college in Illinois submitted his request six times until they said yes. That's not a movement dying. That's one being born.

The Canada trade war just went from tariffs to bans. Carney hit $20 billion of American goods Tuesday morning. By Tuesday night, Trump banned Canadian alcohol, whey, molasses and big motorcycles outright, effective Sept. 29. Here’s what’s really going on. 🧵 Canada has charged American farmers tariffs of over 200% on dairy for decades. They blocked our banks. They blocked Gulfstream from doing business there. Every president shrugged. Trump asked for one thing: open your market the way we open ours. Carney walked out of the talks.
