Good Morning,
If you thought the drone mystery was the most sinister headline this week, think again. Ukraine faces serious allegations over a high-profile assassination, new reports accuse the Pentagon of delaying National Guard deployment on Jan. 6, and Elizabeth Warren proves that Elon Musk lives rent-free in her mind.
Here’s what’s in today’s briefing:
• Ukraine’s alleged assassination of a Russian nuclear commander—what it means for escalating tensions.
• The Pentagon’s Jan. 6 cover-up just got exposed.
• Warren vs. Musk: Why she’s targeting Tesla’s success as “corporate greed.”
And stick around—we’ve got an exclusive teaser for The Fed-Up Files below that you don’t want to miss.
GEOPOLITICS
Ukraine Accused of Assassinating Russian Nuclear and Chemical Weapons Commander
What Happened:
A high-ranking Russian nuclear and chemical weapons commander was allegedly assassinated, and Ukraine is being blamed. While details remain murky, the incident has sparked outrage in Moscow.
The Accusation:
• Russian state media reported the death and accused Ukrainian operatives of orchestrating a “targeted elimination.”
• The Kremlin condemned the act as “terrorism” and vowed retaliation.
Why It Matters:
• This assassination, if confirmed, marks a dangerous escalation in the Russia-Ukraine war, moving beyond the battlefield and into targeted leadership strikes.
• Retaliation from Moscow could shift global alliances, trigger new military campaigns, or lead to direct NATO involvement if tensions boil over.
What’s Next:
With neither side confirming details, expect Russia to use this event to justify intensified strikes on Ukraine—whether the accusations hold water or not.
The Bottom Line:
If Ukraine pulled the trigger, it’s a bold move with massive risks. If they didn’t, Russia’s narrative could still reshape the next phase of this war.

NATIONAL SECURITY
Pentagon Delayed National Guard Deployment on January 6—Then Tried to Cover It Up
Why It Matters:
A bombshell new report exposes the Pentagon’s delay in deploying National Guard troops during the January 6 Capitol riot—and their attempts to erase the evidence. This revelation strikes at the heart of trust in America’s institutions.
Key Findings:
• The Delay: Memos reveal Capitol Police began requesting National Guard backup at 1:30 PM, but Pentagon officials stalled for over two hours.
• The Cover-Up: Emails show attempts to “sanitize” records, with leadership scrambling to downplay the delays in the aftermath.
• The Fallout: Critics say this delay was deliberate, allowing the chaos to spiral while political narratives formed.
Impact on Trust:
The American people were told this was an intelligence failure. This report suggests it was something worse—a decision to let chaos unfold for political reasons.
What Happens Next:
Pressure is mounting for independent investigations and public hearings. Calls for accountability are growing louder, and this isn’t going away.
The Bottom Line:
When leadership fails, trust collapses. The American people deserve answers—not excuses.

POLITICS & ECONOMICS
Elizabeth Warren Targets Elon Musk—Calls Tesla’s Success “Corporate Greed at Its Worst”
What Warren Says:
During a fiery Senate hearing, Elizabeth Warren accused Musk and Tesla of profiting off “government handouts” while exploiting workers and driving wealth inequality.
Why She’s Wrong:
• Tesla created 100,000+ jobs and revolutionized the auto industry, all while achieving record-breaking profits.
• Government incentives didn’t build Tesla—innovation did. Warren’s attack ignores the success story of an American company that disrupted a stagnant market.
Musk Fires Back:
Elon Musk took to X (Twitter), accusing Warren of demonizing achievement:
“Maybe focus on fixing broken systems instead of attacking people who succeed despite them.”
Why It Matters:
This is bigger than Musk vs. Warren. It’s a clash between innovation and political theater—and a warning sign that Washington’s war on the private sector is far from over.
The Bottom Line:
Love him or hate him, Musk’s success represents what’s possible in America. Warren’s attacks? They’re just noise.

Stop the Cover-Ups and Start the Accountability
The Pentagon’s delay on January 6 is bigger than partisan finger-pointing—it’s about ensuring the truth can’t be buried. Real solutions mean:
1. Full Disclosure: Release unredacted communications and orders from that day.
2. Independent Review: The public deserves a nonpartisan investigation.
3. Accountability: If decisions were made for optics, those responsible must answer.
Trust in government starts with transparency. Anything less is a betrayal.
