AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

Senator Peter Welch

Secretary Noem instituted a new rule that she personally had to approve all expenses over $100,000. Her rule delayed FEMA search and rescue operations for days during the terrible Texas flooding last year. It held up funding for Vermont.1/2

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Trump assumed a war would be helpful. It would justify emergency powers. It would deflect from his failures. It would make him seem larger.

But it is making him smaller, more hostage to what’s occurring than leader, more Netanyahu’s patsy than partner, another president sucked into a forever war.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?

Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.

Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?

Noem: My condolences to their families

Raskin: You lied about them.

Rep. Thomas Massie has claimed that key members of his team were offered prestigious jobs in the Trump administration in an effort to stall legislation that would have forced the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files...

It's infuriating and frankly disrespectful to call our modern-day Gestapo, aka ICE, "law enforcement officers." They're nothing of the sort. Real law enforcement protects (or should protect) people. ICE terrorizes them.

A new California bill aims to ban paraquat. Yep, that toxic stuff is still around. Banned by 60 countries, the herbicide behind a 1970s marijuana scare persists in the US.

Syngenta just announced it's gonna stop producing paraquat, which I thought was a throwback to '70s Mexican weed before learning that US growers still use it. Syngenta, btw, was the subject of a wild story with one of my favorite headlines. See addendum to this post.

Tbf I’m quite surprised, given his lack of understanding of even the most basic of historical events, that the War Criminal and Paedophile President had even heard of Churchill

Anyone who thinks our "election system" is strong enough to withstand an attack by MAGA-Republicans in November; just keep in mind that Trump, just like Netanyahu will end up in jail once he's no longer in power. You can see what Netanyahu has done to say out of jail, imagine what Trump might do...

Russia has lost 1.3 million troops in Ukraine in what was supposed to be a 3 day war; how many ground troops is the US willing to lose in Iran in what was supposed to be a 4 day war? And most important how many civilians are you willing to watch them kill “because they are poor and need a future”?
