Sen. Chuck Grassley says Jack Smith's special counsel team and the Biden Justice Department collected data on at least 639,000 Republican donors, supporters and voters, including red MAGA hat buyers, with records dating back to 2005 and, in Grassley's words, "well outside Smith's scope."

Meanwhile, night one of the GOP's first-ever midterm convention delivered a genuine earthquake: Democrat Sen. John Fetterman appeared on video praising his Republican Pennsylvania colleague, sending his own party into a fury, while Trump's promised $5,000-per-adult dividend drew skepticism from Fox News and even some Republicans. And in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia and the Houthis are now in what analysts are calling their most serious open war since 2022.
