BREAKING: Judge rules Kari Lake's appointment was ILLEGAL for many months & a bunch of her actions are void
We & great partners win again!
H/t to my @democracydefendersfund.org colleagues plus AFSCME, AFGE, Emery Celli, Democracy Forward & more. Wow, just wow.
War weighed heavily on both Eisenhower and Lincoln. “That cannot be said of everyone in power, and lately it seems like it can be said of hardly anyone in power.”

Um, Fort Campbell middle school would like a word. We have many schools on bases, and Bolton knows it. More ghoulish nonsense from war Hawks to justify the murder of little girls.
They like to bomb things. 🥴

Rubio asks Trump for permission to say a few words in Spanish to Latin American leaders
Hegseth: "I only speak American"
Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves
How to war
Collateral damage should NEVER acceptable.
This is horrifying
The Justice Department forced the Florida Bar to drop its probe. The Florida Bar said today it is no longer investigating former Justice Department attorney Lindsey Halligan, reversing an earlier statement that a review was underway
It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.
Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:
“We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”
CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.
Irony rolls its eyes as it rolls over in its grave.
We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.
The fact that he’s in charge of anything is well past alarming.
Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saying the president had a “feeling, again, based on fact,” that Iran was going to strike the United States. Below is a TV still of Leavitt speaking at a White House press briefing podium, with a news banner reading “BREAKING NEWS.”
We bombed a girls’ school and killed 175 kids based on his feelings?!
It wasn't a question, Donald. And you're stupid for thinking it was. You are also a traitor to our troops for ignoring the statement and not investigating if it is true.
Hegseth keeps saying we are untouchable and invincible and we have total dominance so I don’t know how this could happen.
Like clockwork.
What Trump is doing isn’t even about the harm and cruelty done to immigrants, it’s also about funneling huge sums of money to the worst people on the planet, thus crowning new permanent elites who love fascism and will use their wealth to escape accountability

Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"
Despite pressure from Trump, DOJ tried, but failed to build a criminal case against Biden and his aides for the use of the autopen. This is latest example of DOJ failing to follow through on Trump's desires to use criminal justice system to indict and jail his rivals.

Markwayne Mullin is a knuckleheaded plumber and the only Senator not to have a bachelors degree. Republicans in the Senate confirming the Mullin appointment to run Homeland Security will show their usual disregard for the well-being of the citizens of this country while blindly pleasing Trump.
[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone]
Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.
I need to stress something here:
The US destroying Iran’s navy is about as impressive as prime Michael Jordan dunking on a toddler.
I know the administration needs something to brag about, but this outcome was literally never in question.
Just a thought, maybe SecDef shouldn’t jerk himself off on live television at the thought of casualties in war.
War isn’t something to be giddy about. Were the most powerful nation on the planet. We’re supposed to be the quiet professionals, not carnival barking morons.
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.
Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."
<Michelle Obama>: "Maybe we should put healthy things like veggies in our school lunch?"
<Republicans>: "EXORCISE THE DEMONS THAT ARE ROTTING OUR SOULS"
<Voting Americans>: "Sigh. They're all the same."
