Jamie is right. Burchett and others just voted to keep sexual predator records hidden, and nobody in Tennessee will even hear about it.

According to AAA, the national average of gas prices has gone up $.36 since a month ago.

Endless winning.

Opinion | Trump Has Elite Law Firms on a Punishing Merry-Go-Round

โ€œGiving 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€

Itโ€™s time to reveal the billionaire donors flooding American elections with potent dark money. Iโ€™m introducing the DISCLOSE Act with Senator Whitehouse and Rep. Pappas to make our money-drenched elections more transparent for all citizens.

Brian McGinnis, the Marine veteran who was protesting against Donald Trumpโ€™s war with Iran, confirms that his arm was broken yesterday after being manhandled by Senator Tim Sheehy and Capitol police.

A Ukrainian Defender who returned home today from Russian captivity:

"I was thinking about my family&about Ukraine-so that our country wouldnโ€™t become a colony of damn Russia.Because they[Russians]keep saying that Nazis live here [in Ukraine],that we suppress the Russian language.Itโ€™s all bullsh*tโ€

The IAEA Board has passed a resolution warning that attacks on Ukraine's power gridโ€”crucial for nuclear plant coolingโ€”pose a direct safety risk.

Vote:

FOR: 22
AGAINST: 3 (Russia, China, Niger)
ABSTAIN: 10 (including U.S.)

US abstained noting the text was "unnecessary" amid ongoing peace talks.

So much for this Iranian naval ship being a threat. Hegseth bragged about sinking a defenceless ship. Psychopath.

So it wasn't an amazing technological feat of military equipment and intelligence that enabled the US submarine to locate the Iranian ship. They knew in advance where it had been and where it was likely headed; back home towards Iran.

Because the person is from India. Written in their vernacular. Itโ€™s not that hard. Basically the Iran ship was invited to conduct an exercise with Indian military, US was invited, declined and shot an unarmed ship off Indiaโ€™s coast knowing it would be there and unarmed.

Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump are WAR CRIMINALS. They deserve immediate removal and appropriate consequences.

The Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk part in our Milan exercise.
We were the hosts.
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. Theyโ€™re 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, theyโ€™re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Trump never meant a word he said The Iran war is a chance for Democrats to dismantle whatโ€™s left of public trust in the president and demoralize maga.

1. Donald Trumpโ€™s rationale for war with Iran keeps shifting because he does not believe his own rationales.

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.

Himes on war powers: "That is not a debate that the Republicans want to have, because a year ago they turned the Congress into the Russian Duma. We don't have a Congress today. We have a majority party in the House and Senate that's going to do exactly what Donald Trump tells them to do."
