New: Prison guards discussed cover-up in Epstein's death, inmate tells FBI. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...
Remarkable: With support for the Iran war tanking, Trump is now throwing away the GOP's advantage on three core issues: Economy, immigration, national security.
A year ago it looked like he might be popular on all three. He lit it all on fire. 1/

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
When unqualified, emotionally immature and profoundly insecure people make massive military decisions, this is just one of the dangerous results
Weird how this keeps happening! www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...
Disappointing from the BBC
H/t to Rutger Bregman 👇

Now that Republicans have done Trump's bidding by blocking limits on his war powers, remember that in doing this, they are also relieving *themselves* of the obligation to vote on the enormously consequential decision of whether to go to war. Craven abdication.

Hegseth: "Death & destruction from the sky all day. We're playing for keeps. Our warfighters have maximum authorities granted personally by POTUS & yours truly. Our rules of engagement are bold, precise designed to unleash American power, not shackle it ... we are punching them while they are down"
Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:
"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."
The American people deserved to get a clear explanation of why servicemembers lives are at risk and why their gas prices are about to skyrocket. Instead, they got this.
“Over the past few weeks we’ve learned that not only is she not doing her job, she’s embroiling the department in scandal and possible criminal activity. It’s frankly embarrassing...”

At least 115 people, most of them likely children, were killed in a strike on a girls’ elementary school in Iran on Saturday, health officials and state media said. It was not immediately clear which country hit the school. Our reporters are trying to confirm details of the attack. trib.al/HxXybV9
Slurring old man thinks curtains draped over a beam makes for a SCIF.
He couldn't find Iran on a map if it was the only part glowing
Yet another reason to avoid OpenAI
The chief federal judge in Minnesota has threatened to pursue criminal contempt charges against ICE and the state's top federal prosecutor if they don't comply with court orders in scores of immigration cases.
At least 97 violations involving 66 different cases have been documented.
Rep. Massie: “I've not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein files…Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this DOJ.”
It wasn’t just the shooting at Brown
The FBI also apparently had to delay flying its team to Utah after the murder of Charlie Kirk because Kash Patel was using a plane for personal reasons
They are so inept. And it’s costing this country big time
Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
The people of Roxbury don’t want this facility in their community. They've made their concerns heard and I will continue to stand with them.
We must continue to hold DHS accountable. These agencies work for us, and they need to be responsive and responsible to the people.
It's incredibly frustrating to be a Democrat here because voter apathy and keeping the status quo mean the incumbents keep winning.
Well, it Is the Republicans in Roxbury who got us into this. This is their legacy.
Grassroots groups were working to help the town fight back but the mayor said nah
Unfortunately, this time the news is true. The warehouse in Roxbury has been sold to ICE. Heres our press release.
ICE buys Roxbury, N.J., warehouse. Exact figures for the sale have not been released.
Dalfen Industrial sold the site to ICE this afternoon. The sale has been confirmed by the city council and mayor.
I live in Roxbury and it is part of an area that is Republican controlled and has been for a long time.
I think the site was planned here with that in mind...
There is an increasing local resistance that seems to be surprising (and angering) some people here
Not true
Of course he's lying
MAGA dimwit Peter Navarro accidentally admitted Trump-MAGA's claim about immigrants taking jobs is a scam. And as @pkrugman.bsky.social notes, not only is job growth down; *manufacturing* jobs are also down. The whole MAGA story is in collapse.
Our exchange on this:

NEW: ProPublica went inside the detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.
Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of what comes next.
Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...
