Political Cartoon. Pete Hegseth is portrayed as a game show host about to spin a wheel comprised of various satirical and stated claims for the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. The top left corner reads, "We just went to war! Why? It's time to play America's favorite game show: What's the Reason Anyway?" Hegseth states, "Let's spin it!"
Representative Frost was fabulous in this interview.
Excellent! Two of my favorite folks to listen to and learn from. Looking forward to it.

In terms of importance, the subhed and hed should be reversed. The real story is that Kiley is still caucusing with the GOP. As long as he keeps voting for leaders' rules packages, that's all that matters.
Changing his official designation to "independent" doesn't change how the House operates.
Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.
Rothkopf eviscerates the normalcy bias that is stalling a proper reaction to Trump's insanity.
Reupping.
Not only did Trump minimize possibility of terrorist attacks on US. But White House nixed a law enforcement bulletin ABOUT those threats.
White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”
Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.
Growing up, we never locked our front door.
That open door meant a kind of community and conversation we could use a *lot* more of in our politics.
I'm launching a @Substack as a way of keeping that door open – in this campaign and beyond. Subscribe!
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

Remember, the peanut ones are healthy!
The American people now see Trump for who he is — a would-be dictator who does not care what Americans think or want, cares nothing about our Constitution or our laws, and sees himself as a kind of eighteenth-century king, with unlimited power to drag us into wars without the consent of the people.
Trump has launched an illegal regime change war in Iran with American lives at risk. Congress must convene on Monday to vote on Rep. Thomas Massie & my WPR to stop this. Every member of Congress should go on record this weekend on how they will vote.
"Eight former FBI and Justice Department officials sent MS NOW a copy of the video, which they said was drawing outrage as it rocketed around FBI and DOJ circles. " by @carolleonnig.bsky.social + @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social for @ms.now
Colbert has truly had a great relationship with CBS, even after he was told his contract wasn’t going to be renewed. So let me say: It’s stunning to me that, as he explains here, nobody at CBS told Colbert about the statement today.
This is a must-watch: youtu.be/OQIljje2B_Q?...
Apologies. Posted the same clip on both posts.
Here is the “FCC you” explanation from Colbert about WTf is going on: youtu.be/oh7DPSP65JA?...
I support banning the presidential pardon. It’s been abused by both parties.
It takes a long time to build trust and an instant to lose it. We cannot keep kicking our allies in the teeth and cozying up to our authoritarian adversaries.
Listen to my interview from the Munich Security Conference.
DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.
I am not supporting additional money for ICE until and unless they have significant reforms.
DHS is shutting down. Why? Because Democrats took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution and ICE is lawless and out of control. We cannot fund an agency that is murdering our citizens, tear gassing school zones, and disappearing legal immigrants.
This is a breathtaking article about the complete clown show at DHS being overseen by Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski (gift link)
This is a 3,600-word piece airing every bit of dirt Noem's detractors have aired in the last year, presumably to try to get her (and Corey) ousted.
2 words that don't appear anywhere? "Stephen Miller."

Breaking WSJ:
The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
Americans want common-sense enforcement of immigration laws. Not federal-style goons in our streets.

The President and his cabinet have suggested having masked ICE agents encircling polling places. It's not fantasy, and it's not made up. And we need to be clear-eyed about that.
Trump's threat to shut down the Detroit-Windsor bridge project is getting overshadowed, but it's a big, big deal. Here's a new piece/thread from me on why this matters so much:
