Evening, family. Al-Zaidi says the era of officials taking office to loot the state is over, and sources say he's floating closing the Houthis' offices and removing their members from Iraq amid repeated talks with Washington. Iraq also stopped two attempts to smuggle counterfeit currency in from Iran, and an economic expert lays out the mass borrowing it would take to cover the 2027 budget deficit. At home, Bloomberg drops $80 million on the Democrats' midterm push, a pollster cited by the New York Times says its poll was fake, and Adam Carolla unloads on San Francisco's mayor. Here's everything on the desk.
