AXIOS (Alex Isenstadt) - D.C.'s hottest ticket: Trump's UFC fight night
President Trump tells Axios it's the "hottest ticket that I've ever seen." - He's talking about UFC Freedom 250, the fight Trump is staging on the White House's South Lawn on June 14. Why it matters: Donors, lobbyists, members of Congress and well-connected fans are clamoring for tickets. - But in a Trumpian twist of marketing, the tickets' elusiveness is building buzz for the event, which will be on the president's birthday, and Flag Day, in the run-up to America's 250th on July Fourth. The big picture: While Trump deals with a war in Iran and rising gas prices at home, the president seems downright giddy that UFC Freedom 250 gives him a night of pageantry despite the optics. - There'll be 5,000 VIP seats around the UFC's famed…

Mikie Sherrill. - "I think because we had these wins, the progressive movement is like, 'Okay, we're going to win everywhere,'" Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) told Axios. - The California Democrat, who endorsed…
AXIOS (Dave Lawler) - Scoreboard on every street: Gas heads for $4 per gallon due to Iran war
Most Americans will likely soon be paying over $4 per gallon as the war in Iran drives one of the sharpest gas price surges in recent history. The big picture: For many Americans, the most visible barometer of how the Iran war is going may be the price at the gas station down the street. Breaking it down: The White House insists prices will fall rapidly once Trump's military objectives in Iran are achieved. - "President Trump has been clear that these are short-term disruptions. Ultimately, once the Iranian regime is neutralized, oil and gas prices will drop rapidly again, potentially even lower than before the strikes" began, White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a statement. - But analysts say it could take weeks to months…
