That’s it for Dan Crenshaw.

Coons to Noem: "On January 22, you put out a press release saying enforcement and removal training is 42 days. But on February 23, you issued a new press release saying it was 56 days. You seem to be making it up as you go along."

BLUMENTHAL: Wouldn't you agree no citizen working lawfully should be arrested?

NOEM: There are times when they may be arrested or detained until identity is confirmed

B: Would you agree citizens should not be arrested?

N: When there's probable cause ...

B: They said, 'Get him. He's Mexican'

Noem just defended referring to Pretti and Good as domestic terrorists.

Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, “You believe calling the victims of violence ‘domestic terorrists’ is a way to calm the scene?”

BLUMENTHAL: Is the agent who shot Ms Martinez sill on the job?

NOEM: Our officers conduct operations every day-

B: Is he still on the job carrying a gun?

N: I dunno

B: Would you agree he shouldn't be?

N: I'll get back to you

B: I think Americans would find it absolutely terrifying if he is

Trump's Iran War and the Article One crisis Congress's refusal to do its job is now the world's problem.

"There’s a scramble by the administration and GOP sycophants to cobble together some Rube Goldberg contraption combining international law, domestic law, and executive authority that would somehow make this totally cool and legal, but there’s no way to make it work."

Mark Kelly to Undersecretary of Defense Elbridge Colby: "I'm trying to understand whether you believe Iran can be primarily contained by our regional partners, which is what you wrote a few weeks ago, or is it imminent threat to the US as President Trump just told the American people? Can't be both"

So he's saying that he knew Israel was going to attack Iran and he believed Iran would retaliate by attacking US bases, so we had to strike first since Israel was going to get US forces attacked.

Trump has no plan. This is a damning summary from The Economist’s Middle East Correspondent Gregg Carlstrom.

Democrats denouncing this gratuitous, distractive war with Iran are not "siding with Iran;" they are siding with sanity and the Constitution.

These guys cannot get their stories straight

We’re at war, and Trump still hasn’t given a coherent explanation for why the US, alongside Israel, attacked Iran or what the endgame is.

Finding out he was making party cameos at Mar-a-Lago while this was unfolding is nuts.

Bush lied, but at least he made a case to Congress before war with Iraq.

Reckless is the only way to describe Donald Trump's war with Iran.

He’s a wrecking ball president.

Anyone who believes that Iran was not or has not been prepared to replace the ayatollah for a long time now, or can't bounce back from this in a few months is gonna be really disappointed. If the goal was in fact regime change, this was the absolute dead-last dumbest & most dangerous way to do it.

Radiohead is demanding that the Trump administration take down a pro-ICE promotional video featuring a version of its song “Let Down” without permission.

Full statement from the band:

One Merger After Another: Trump Cronies Take Over CNN CBS was the test case. Now CNN is next. A wave of corporate media mergers is reshaping who controls what Americans see, hear, and believe.

Paramount elbowed out Netflix to buy WB Discovery after a months-long bidding war. When (not if) the deal closes, Paramount will control 25% of the entire media market, and half of the cable TV market, putting CBS and CNN under one roof— which sits atop a house owned by the pro-Trump Ellison family.

Follow the money. And IIRC, Epstein accused his friend Trump of laundering money for the Russians when he bought the estate Epstein wanted in Florida.

Oh cool. The justice department is investigating itself. I’m sure this will be really thorough.

Trump can never fire Pam Bondi because she has as much dirt on Trump as Epstein did.

Zohran says Elaina will be released

There was a time when I thought George Bush was as bad as it could get.

I was wrong.

“It’s no longer a political calculus. It’s a moral and legal and Constitutional obligation of Congress to [impeach]. It would be a violation of the oath of office for a member of Congress not to push for impeachment when it is possible.”
