If the Senate continues to forsake Congress's war powers and its responsibility, there will be soon no constraint left on this president or any other to make war whenever they choose, wherever they choose.
And the American people and our sons and daughters will pay the price in blood and treasure.
"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)
Neguse demolishes Noem (2/2)
Trump is taking credit on Truth Social for the primary “wins” by 17 of his endorsed candidates yesterday who ran unopposed. meidasnews.com/news/trump-t...
In the modern era, no American president has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump. None.
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
DHS has “systematically obstructed” the Inspector General, including in a national security criminal probe. This is a direct attack on the rule of law and on independent oversight at DHS.

Here's what I believe: no more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't.
WATCH: “Rooted in hatred and bigotry… misuse and abuse of power… an embarrassment…”
REP. @justinjpearson.bsky.social opposes a redundant anti-immigrant Jason Zachary bill about commercial driver’s licenses, and takes issue with the dehumanizing language Jason insists on using.
What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office
It's all so sad. SA is happening in many other Christian churches as well, take a look at the SBC for example. It runs rampant throughout so many. The sad thing is that they are more concerned with POWER of the church than the parishioners. So antithetical to Jesus's teachings.
Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?
Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.
Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?
Noem: My condolences to their families
Raskin: You lied about them.
Jayapal to Noem: "None of these four US citizens were charged with a crime, none had their citizenship questioned, and all were lawfully exercising their First Amendment rights. Do you have anything you want to say to them?"
Is this bad? It seems bad.
Live updates: Trump won't rule out ground troops in Iran as U.S. military confirms 4 troops killed in war -CBSNEWS
Now it's 4 dead Americans. I think the number might be much higher. They are lying to us. A ground invasion will be necessary to stop attacks coming out of Iran and to take the oil.
I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.
SCHIFF: Don't you think in aftermath of a shooting you should provide only vetted information? How will you gain the trust of people if you're pushing out false info about the shootings of American citizens?
NOEM: I work every day to get out factual information
SCHIFF: Well, you didn't that day
A Minnesota federal judge has ordered the state’s top federal prosecutor and ICE officials to appear in his courtroom Tuesday to explain why they should not be held in civil or criminal contempt for what he alleges are repeated court violations.
DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:
Voters as “Votors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"
And, it included a non-party in the caption.
These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.
Remember that Donald Trump, Jr. is involved with both Polymarket & Kalshi — and the Trumps’ social media company is launching its own prediction market.
Meanwhile, Trump’s regulators have announced they will fight any state that attempts to regulate prediction markets.
Always follow the money.
AYMAN: Can you tell me where Iran killed thousands of Americans in America?
ANNA PAULINA LUNA: I said they are responsible for thousands of Americans being killed
AYMAN: Where?
LUNA: Are you serious right now?
AYMAN: It seems like you don't want to have a good faith conversation
Imminent threat? OMG!
Authoritarians wage wars to deflect public attention from their own scandals. Donald Trump is no different.
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
Release the Epstein Files!
Chris Murphy: "We need to stand up for the American citizens that ICE is murdering, the kids they're terrorizing. They should stop this illegal war and they should stop ICE from terrorizing our communities. We should demand they do both things."
The capitalization bothered me. Hello? Does anybody hear me?
