"I hope you are impressed," he said to me. "How do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better. How do you like the performance?"

An illegal war for the sake of spectacle and the amusement of POTUS.
Excellent analysis showing how state funding mechanisms are used to deepen the state's ideological control, much akin to what happened in Hungary under Orbán.
We need better Democrats.
Not a single dollar more for Trump’s illegal war.
How has Tim Sheehy not yet been arrested for assault and hauled away as the deranged violent thug that we all saw brutalizing a marine veteran in the senate today?
Why is this crooked piece of shit allowed to make rulings about an election he's running in?
I'll post the final numbers when I can get them, but for now...
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE FLIPPED ARKANSAS'S #HD70 (Harris+2)
Looks like a pretty good-sized overperformance from 2024 too
after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.
Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
"When FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran..."

Rules for thee but not for me
Sums up the Republican Supreme Court majority quite nicely
This outcome was fully expected and blocks New York from redrawing the solidly red 11th District and turning it blue in 2026.
However, Democratic lawmakers can still pass a constitutional amendment that would let them redraw the entire map in 2028 and target 3-4 seats currently held by Republicans
they didn’t do it with CA, but are now toying with the idea that the constitution means “Republicans get to gerrymander but Democrats can’t”
Veteran CBS News Producer Says She’s Quitting Because of Political Pressure
Mary Walsh had been a key player at the network’s news division since 1982. She left behind a scathing memo that charged Bari Weiss and owner David Ellison with pushing coverage to the right.
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.
“Yeah, not great news. In fact, if I may quote anyone who’s ever accidentally sat on their Roku remote, ‘Oh shit, I’m in Paramount now, how the fuck do I get out of this?’” —John Oliver, on news that Paramount is on track to become his new “business daddy.”
Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."
complete insanity
It's Steven Conrad. I'm in.
The “big picture” here, to use Axios lingo, is that for a year team Trump has destroyed important counter-terror tools and diverted counter-terror personnel to immigration enforcement.
And that Patel, Noem, & Gabbard have no qualifications and are riotously incompetent.

Five weeks? Five days? What are the objectives? You can read all Trump's pronouncements, you'll have no idea. Neither does he.
“…I understand that Mamdani’s administration may believe that this initial budget doesn’t represent their final objective, and that it is therefore okay to use libraries to parlay with Hochul–after all, every other mayor has…” sevenstories.substack.com/p/guest-post...
they didn’t even try to sell it and it shows
after the fact cheerleading doesn’t make up for absolutely no buildup whatsoever and the fact that we’re back at war in the Middle East, a place a lot of Americans have very poor associations of ‘war’ with
World War Trump
I genuinely cannot get over him launching a war from his house in Palm Beach.
It’s truly amateur hour.
I would love to talk with @volts.wtf about the history of Bend, our development over time, and our massive push for multifamily in the last five years that has led to us building the most housing per capita in the state, alongside our major transportation improvements.
We are, in fact, a city.
