Hello and welcome to the Daily beans for Thursday, April 9, 2026. Today, Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz after Israeli ceasefire violations. The FCC chair Brendan Karrs threatened CNN after they read a statement given to them by Iran. As expected, Pam Bondi is refusing to comply with her subpoena to be deposed by the House Oversight Committee next week. Wisconsinites have secured a liberal state Supreme Court until at least 2030, while Sean Harris makes massive gains in Marjorie Taylor Greene's old district. A man is in critical condition after another ice shooting in California. The Trump administration is demanding federal workers medical records.
