🚨OFFICIAL FLIP REPORT🚨
Democrat BOBBI BOUDMAN has FLIPPED New Hampshire State House District Carroll 7!
Trump won this district by 9.
Boudman has won by 3, making a 12-point overperformance.
This is the 3rd State Legislative special election flip of 2026 and the 10th overall since January 2025.
An amazing stat:
Iran exported more oil *today* than it did daily before the war.
It's the one country whose tankers are getting through the Strait of Hormuz.

"[T]he question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?
They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.'
Read through this #mustread 🧵
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
favorables for IL-09 race
This is disastrous for AIPAC's candidate in IL09 Laura Fine, her favorables went from +1 to -22 in a month.

Heater being a perfect loaf (no feet) on my orange desk chair that she was scratched up and vomited on (it’s her favorite place bc it smells like mom)
AIPAC IS DROPPING $1 MILLION AGAINST US SO HEATER IS ASKING YOU TO JOIN OUR LIVESTREAM IN AN HOUR!!!

I read about this in a book once…
This is obscene. I am not paying taxes to fund toxic smoke that harms children. I am not paying taxes to bomb children who are just as precious as my American children. Look at this clip of Tehran. War is not the answer.
Rahm should be shunned, not elevated.

“People are sick of strongly worded letters”
@governorwalz.mn.gov tells @profgalloway.com and @karaswisher.bsky.social that it’s time for Democrats to start breaking the norms.
A very good piece on why the left can't jettison the concept of international law altogether, despite its limitations and structural arrangement which at times has repeatedly legitmized colonialism and might-makes-right.
Sounds like a silver lining to me.
NOTUS screenshot "Help Congress rein in the Supreme Court. Ganesh Sitaraman Vanderbilt Law School The Supreme Court — a body of nine unelected judges who, once confirmed, can serve for life — plays an increasingly powerful role in shaping the laws that govern our country. In recent decades, on topics as varied as labor, employment law, health care and immigration, the court has served as the final arbiter on issues that should be, at least constitutionally speaking, in Congress’ hands. For 30 years, Congress has been able to rein in the power of federal agencies through the Congressional Review Act, a law that allows federal regulations to be overturned with a simple majority and a signature from the president. A similar check should be extended to an increasingly heavy-handed Supreme Court when it considers matters of statute. Congress could have, for example, 30 days to decide whether to respond to a court ruling, and another 30 days for a committee to propose a clarification or revision of the statute — under a fast-track process. This reform would put our most representative branch — Congress — back in charge of the public policy decisions that impact us all. Ganesh Sitaraman is a professor at Vanderbilt Law School and director of the Vanderbilt Policy Accelerator."
Rein in the power of Roberts MAGA #SCOTUS through the Congressional Review Act, a law that allows Cong to overturn fed regs with a simple majority & a signature from the president. Interesting court reform idea for next Dem majority from @ganeshsitaraman.bsky.social www.notus.org/perspectives...
Pin reminder pop-ups appear to be a confusing counterexample on on this point.
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
we’ve had two truly enormous crises under Trump and the first one was covid which everyone apparently gave him a pass for despite the fact that he made it worse
but this one is completely, obviously, unquestionably his fault and would not have happened without him
Targetted strikes.

fun fact: at $90/barrel, the impact of the war is equivalent to a ~$50/ton carbon tax, right where the biden administration estimated the social cost of carbon
A water desalination plant is presumptively a civilian object & it is an object indispensable to survival.
Targeting a civilian object is a war crime.
Targeting an object indispensable to survival can implicate the starvation war crime.

I’m briefly in India. This is a facile observation, but Americans have barely scratched the surface in understanding how the rest of the world is reacting to this war. It’s already an Iraq War-style disaster in the global imagination, underscored by the thuggishness and caprice of the Trump approach
This gets at the Burkean argument for international law: power politics are beset with unknowns and unintended consequences. Faced with that, following international law is a good way of avoiding some of the most obvious pitfalls. “An inheritance from our forefathers,” paid for in blood.
At least a trace of valuable journalism remains at the New York Times.

Six years ago this week, an unplanned disaster engulfed the world. Trump catastrophically mismanaged it. The economy collapsed and 1m+ died.
Now reelected, he’s on the verge of topping that, only this time the disaster is entirely of his own making.
The results may be even worse.
Sanchez is correct in refusing to allow the US to use joint military bases to carry out their war crimes against the people of Iran. He demonstrates real spine here, and models leadership to the rest of Europe.
If only there had been some way to get rid of Iran’s stockpile of uranium peacefully, without going to war. Oh, wait….
RIP
