You don’t have to be an expert to know that “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” means boots on the ground.

Trump is broadcasting a plan for the escalation of his war.

The Trump administration took your money illegally.

They won’t give it back.

This piece is referring to SCOTUS*, but:

The Speaker of the House is an evangelical Christian, as is the Senate Majority Leader.

"Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating - even indirectly - in the war, according to three officials familiar with the intelligence."

An excellent idea

Trump should find and install a leader. Maybe he could even find a “Shah” for Iran.

What could possibly go wrong?

Welcome to Season 1 of "The Ayatollah Apprentice"

The US Customs and Border Protection agency is unable to comply with a court order directing it to refund tariffs that the Supreme Court has ruled illegal, the agency said in a court filing with the US Court for International Trade reut.rs/4somFXm

Last year I just walked into Costco and asked for a measles booster. I told the pharmacist I was unsure if I was ever given two doses, and she just gave me the shot and my insurance paid for it. I don't know, man, I don't see any downside to getting a booster.

Americas First War in Age of LLMs Exposes Myth of AI Alignment The military is turning to tools that relieve the burden of conscience and function like a moral sedative, writes Eryk Salvaggio.

The Trump administration’s escalating campaign in Iran marks the beginning of America’s first war in the age of large language models. These events make clear that those who work on AI safety must confront the limits of so-called “alignment to human values,” writes Eryk Salvaggio.

WAPO: “.. Since the war began Saturday, Russia has passed Iran the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships and aircraft, said the three officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.”

In our book coming out in Sept, Mike Miller and I document how SCOTUS was, for a while, a great ally in building up the Voting Rights Act. Of course, over the past 15 years, it has instead turned into the VRA's fiercest opponent

The whole point of the VRA was to fight back against the "systematic and ingenious discrimination" plaguing elections in the South. As LBJ argued before passage, "No law that we now have on the books... can ensure the right to vote when local officials are determined to deny it."

The Bygone Era of Supreme Court Support for Voting Rights Sixty years after upholding the Voting Rights Act, the Court has dismantled most of it.

Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act.

We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy.

New from me at @brennancenter.org:

Economy Update: The US LOST 92,000 jobs in February, pushing the unemployment rate up to 4.4%.

Applying to a job in 2026 is the statistical equivalent of hurling your resume into a black hole.

People don’t realize how badly the real economy is doing.

My advice to the Administration: With the U.S. uncomfortably close to a recession -- and already in a jobs recession -- don't do anything rash that could make things worse.

No for real he plans to crown himself king of the world for life.

The Kurds are not fully onboard with serving as the ground force in Iran. Trump is counting on Kurdish fighters to confront the IRGC on the ground, but the pool of available forces appears smaller than expected, particularly because the plan relies heavily on Iraqi Kurdish groups.

AIPAC sure got their money’s worth from these 4 Dems today

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

It's our turn.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

According to President Zelenskyy, countries in the Middle East fired about 800 patriot missiles in just three days — more than Ukraine has had during the entire war.

Kristi Noem going out praising herself for her courageous public service when all she did was steal our money and lie to America and brutalize the vulnerable and screw her boyfriend is pretty much the exit from DHS I expected of her

It is very important she eventually go to prison

Today in Budapest, Hungarian authorities took seven Ukrainian citizens hostage. The reasons are still unknown, as well as their current well-being, or the possibility of contacting them. These seven Ukrainians are employees of state-owned Oschadbank, who were operating two bank cars transiting between Austria and Ukraine and carrying cash as part of regular services between state banks. In fact, we are talking about Hungary taking hostages and stealing money. If this is the “force” announced earlier today by Mr Orban, then this is a force of a criminal gang. This is state terrorism and racketeering. We have already sent an official note demanding an immediate release of our citizens. We will also address the European Union with the request to provide a clear qualification of Hungary’s unlawful actions, hostage-taking, and robbery. Statement by Oschadbank:

Orbán is kidnapping Ukrainian bank employees to manufacture a conflict and save his electoral campaign. 7 Ukrainians were grabbed in Budapest, Hungary, while transiting cash between Austria & Ukraine; condition & whereabouts unknown. Kyiv demands immediate release.
