Today’s attack on Temple Israel in Michigan is appalling. This violence, hatred, and antisemitism have no place in our country, and my heart is with the Jewish community after this terrifying attack.
Yesterday was a tragic day for America and our Air Force. I flew the KC-135 for just two years at the start of my Air Force career, but this one still hits close to home. Keep our military in your prayers.

Tweet by Acyn quoting a reporter asking Senator John Fetterman why he did not sign a letter calling for an investigation into a strike on a girls’ school in Iran. The image shows Fetterman speaking remotely from an office during a CNN interview.
Brain injuries apparently can completely change the person you once were.
Our home health care workers are the strength that keeps people alive, keeps families together, and keeps us healthy.
I’m glad to be standing with our caregivers as they continue their negotiations. It’s your right to get active and fight for a fair contract!
I recently spoke at the American Lands Project reception about how I am fighting for Roadless Area protections.
These pristine, wild forest lands represent some of our most important natural resources, and Trump is hell-bent on dismantling these existing safeguards.
POTUS gets us into a war in Iran. Iran gets intel from Russia to target us. POTUS lifts sanctions on Russian oil to help Russia. Obscene.
Big news: After I led the push with my colleagues in the Massachusetts delegation, ARPA-H just reaffirmed its commitment to Massachusetts.
Trump said I was dumb and questioned my leadership today. I've spent 25 years in the military, commanded the space shuttle, and now I'm serving Arizona in the U.S. Senate. Happy to discuss leadership anytime, Mr. President. You know where to find me.
Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
NPR is reporting that Oklahoma governor Stitt met with Trump to discuss Mullin's replacement. That's how much control Trump has over Congress that Stitt needs Trump's agreement before appointing someone.
That is not how the Constitution works.
NOT. AT. ALL.
Our first responders, law enforcement, and the private security on the ground all put themselves at risk to save lives at Temple Israel. If not for them, it would have been so much worse and we thank them for that.

New in PN: How Trump hacked the judiciary
"The DOJ hit on a strategy that works: exploiting little-known, sometimes never-before-used laws as the basis for Trump’s constant states of emergency. Because of gaps in the law, Trump is able to exploit the judiciary’s deference to the executive branch."
Graphic that reads, "Trump is waging war at the pump." Below it reads "National gas prices:" with a crossed out gas price reading $2.94 for One Month Ago and a gas price reading $3.63 for Today. Below it reads "Massachusetts gas prices:" with a crossed out gas price reading $2.90 for One Month Ago and a gas price reading $3.46 for Today. Below it reads "Americans are spending $1.8 Billion more per week on gas."
Graphic reads $1.8 Billion per week could have paid for: A big tax rebate on a new electric vehicle for 240,000 driver New solar panels on 59,000 homes Energy efficient home tax credits for 562,500 homes ***Republicans cut all of these programs in the Big Ugly Bill
Americans are in for a crude awakening at the pump. Trump’s illegal war in Iran is costing people $1.8 billion more per week on gas.
That money could fund home energy tax credits, electric vehicle rebates, and more.
We must end the war and break our addiction to fossil fuels.
Republicans just launched their latest effort to deny access to reproductive care. They want to ban mifepristone in all 50 states.
We must fight back against this attack on reproductive freedom.

wow -- JD Vance tosses Kristi Noem under the bus
"We recognized, frankly, that we needed the new leadership to hasten the delivery of resources to the people of North Carolina ... we think it's useful to have somebody come in and focus on some of this disaster relief and recovery stuff."
NEW: The DOJ appears to be contacting multiple states about overseas voting compliance ahead of the midterms, emphasizing ID verification rules that could complicate voting for Americans abroad.
The revelation comes as Trump and Republican lawmakers push for broader restrictions to voting access.
KILMEADE: When will know the war is over?
TRUMP: When I feel it. I gotta feel it in my bones.
Trump on terrorists: "They're just bad. Something wrong. There's something wrong. Their genetics are not exactly your genetic. It's a terrible thing. And it happens. And it happens."
What the US Military's own rules say about Hegseth's decision to sink an Iranian ship and then deny assistance to survivors.
Glock pistol used in deadly shooting at Old Dominion University was illegally sold to shooter, a convicted felon under probation, by a man federal ATF agents knew was selling guns illegally. He previously received a "warning letter" & had to write an apology.
It's time to enforce our gun laws
This morning Pete Hegseth said "The sooner David Ellison takes over CNN, the better." Ellison may be able to buy CBS News and CNN. Jeff Bezos can buy the Washington Post. But Democracy Docket is not for sale.

EXCLUSIVE | Kristi Noem awarded $1 billion in contracts to build the Mexican border wall to a company accused of smuggling illegal immigrants into the country, giving them guns, and allowing them to take part in a wild shootout.
Padilla: "Trump told the House Republican conference that 'we need the SAVE Act so we can midterms.' That's how they're gonna guarantee holding on to power this November. They know their record is not just unpopular, it's been harmful for so many families and they're about to face the consequences."
Good.
"Trump loves claiming his Article II power is unlimited, allowing him to ignore courts & Congress as long as he can say there’s an emergency or he’s acting w/ his prerogative or both. It's a justification Rs have used to justify the Iran War, even though it literally contradicts the Constitution."
Trump is still trying to find other ways to slap tariffs on imports.
If he follows through, we'll pay an estimated $330 billion more for goods this year — over $2,500 per household.
Remember that his first round of illegal tariffs didn't even work.
We LOST manufacturing jobs.
Hello?
It costs American taxpayers $11,500 every second to fund Donald Trump’s war in Iran.
So while your money flies away to fund this war, remember that Donald Trump wouldn't lift a finger to lower health care costs here in America.
📽️NEW: Republicans KNOW Trump will destroy democracy — and they don't care.
Marc Elias sits down with @thebulwark.com's @timmiller.bsky.social to find out why so many elites are choosing to stay silent, and recount what he's witnessed from inside the Republican Party.

Defense Secretary Hegseth used his press conference on Trump's war on Iran to browbeat the press & weigh in on CNN's ownership: "More fake news from CNN ... the sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better"
(Hegseth spent more time attacking media than he did on US casualties)
