โGiving in to bullies has its own costs, not least because bullies are never satisfied with just a single capitulation. Especially when, as with the law firms, the bully โ that is, the Trump administration โ was obviously playing a weak legal hand from the start.โ

I am told that as per protocol for this exercise ships cannot carry any ammunition. It was defenceless. The Iranian naval personnel had paraded before our president. The attack by the US submarine was premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute, presumably with this operation in mind. The US has ignored India's sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India's invitation. We are far from politically or militarily responsible for the US attack. Our"responsibility" is at a moral and human plane. A word of condolence by the Indian Navy ( after political clearance) at the loss of lives of those who were our invitees and saluted our president would be in order.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. Theyโre tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
"Donald Trump is batshit. He, along with several of his advisors, are under the delirious belief he is all powerful and can effect his will simply by issuing a tweet.
Until that becomes the story, Trump will dodge accountability for the most reckless decision in recent history."

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, theyโre under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
Six years ago today I launched Democracy Docket. At the time, I had no idea if anyone would visit the site or read its content. Today, it is a thriving news platform with a staff of 22 and more than 400,000 subscribers. Thank you to everyone who supports its work.

1. Donald Trumpโs rationale for war with Iran keeps shifting because he does not believe his own rationales.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / ะะพะปะพะดะธ... &. 4h| X We received signals from partners in the Middle East. There have been strikes by Iranian "shaheds" on civilians in those countries. They are seeking our expertise. We are open. If their representatives come, we will provide the expertise. Especially since there is also a request from Europeans and from the United States. Requests have come to us to share our experience with partners in the Middle East. Regarding weapons: we ourselves are at war. And I said, completely frankly, that we have a shortage of what they have. They have missiles for the Patriots, but hundreds or thousands of "shaheds" cannot be intercepted with Patriot missiles - it is too costly. Nothing is too much for the people, of course, but they simply do not have that many missiles. That is why they need interceptor drones, which we have. Meanwhile, we have a shortage of PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles. So, when it comes to technology or weapons exchange, I believe our country will be open to it.
