*🇺🇸 - Blakeman Calls Mamdani An Antisemite During Governor Debate* Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman called NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani an antisemite during Tuesday’s debate with Gov. Kathy Hochul. He said the first thing Mamdani did as mayor, with all the problems facing New York City, was sign an executive order to water down the definition of antisemitism. Blakeman also criticized Hochul for campaigning with Mamdani, saying the mayor talks about collectivism (which he said means taking personal property rights away) and called him anti-Christian for not attending the installation of a new archbishop in the city. The remarks follow Mamdani’s day-one order that revoked a series of late-term Adams executive orders, including one that adopted the IHRA definition of antisemitism.

*🇺🇸 - Federal Agents Search Ilhan Omar’s Home In Immigration Probe* Federal agents searched Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington-area home early Monday as part of an ongoing criminal investigation. The Justice Department confirmed Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant. Sources say the probe centers on the family’s immigration paperwork, including documents her late father completed when she was a child. Omar arrived in the U.S. as a refugee from Somalia in the 1990s and became a citizen in 2000. Officials have previously said they are examining whether false statements or irregularities in that process affected her status. Omar called the search an attempt to target political enemies and said she will not be silenced. She has long denied related allegations about her immigration history. Ben Shapiro responded that if her father lied to get the family into the country under refugee status, she should be deported under the law. He added that the country has no obligation to keep people here who are not legally citizens and who wish to destroy it.

*🇸🇦 - Saudi Coalition Strikes Houthi Fuel Sites In Sanaa After Evacuation Warning* The Saudi-led coalition hit Houthi-controlled fuel facilities on the outskirts of Sanaa today, including the Yemen Petroleum Company’s Al-Sabaha central station.

Coalition officials said the targets were being used to support Houthi missile and drone operations against Saudi Arabia and Red Sea shipping. Houthis have vowed a harsh response and named Saudi Aramco’s headquarters in Dhahran, the Riyadh refinery, and King Khalid International Airport as potential targets. They also told oil workers in Saudi Arabia to stay away from key sites. This comes after days of Houthi attacks on Saudi airports, including a deadly strike on Riyadh’s main airport that killed over a dozen people and forced the facility to close. Warnings remain active for the Riyadh area as the exchanges continue.

🇺🇸 - President Trump on Ilhan Omar - “How many people did she illegally bring into our Country from Somalia? America wants answers, and we want them, NOW!” Trump - “Why did Ilhan Omar report a Net Worth of up to 30 Million Dollars just a short time ago, and then immediately say, “Oh, I made a mistake! It’s really $100,000.” Could it be that her highly paid accountant actually reported the money that was stolen from her fraudulent activities in Minnesota? Would something like that be possible? Do you think the accountant actually gave the right number the first time, 30 Million Dollars, and then she was forced to disavow because she never would have been able to report where that much money came from? She must have freaked out when she saw that money! Where did her house come from, where did her cars come from, and what about her lovely place in Washington, D. C. ? I didn’t know that Congressmen and women made that kind of money, but I do know her husband, according to information and belief, makes almost nothing, so it couldn’t have come from him. How many people did she illegally bring into our Country from Somalia? America wants answers, and we want them, NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

*🇬🇧 - MI5 Chief Warns AI Is Supercharging UK Security Threats Including Potential Killer Bioweapons* The head of MI5 has warned that artificial intelligence is already supercharging security threats to the UK. Sir Ken McCallum said in his annual speech that AI is intensifying the cybersecurity contest between attackers and defenders. It can also produce propaganda and radicalising material tailored to individuals. MI5 has already caught terrorists trying to use AI to improve reconnaissance and attack methods, with AI-enabled drones adding a new twist. The biggest concern, though not yet realised, is AI’s potential to change the stakes on existing or new bioweapons. Comparatively low-sophistication actors could gain a capability uplift if guardrails fail, or the technology could help generate novel pathogens. McCallum also said state threats from Russia, Iran and China have quadrupled in a decade, with Russia the top aggressor. MI5 is now putting more resources into these threats than during the Cold War. A new AI Threat Assessment Centre has been launched to assess the risks.

Press Secretary Katie Zacharia announced the decision this morning during her first briefing, saying Guilfoyle has been “a wonderful asset to the team” and that officials wish her well.

She said the allegations are false, that she intends to vigorously defend her name and reputation, and that her time as ambassador may be coming to an end while her support for the America First agenda will not. President Trump said Monday that officials were “looking at it” and that he was “not happy.” The State Department’s inspector general has been reviewing the allegations.

El Sayed is expected to do better in Dearborn, but Rogers argues that if support weakens elsewhere, the race could shift. He says Democrats have taken these voters for granted for decades.
