The drones are posing a bigger problem than anticipated, - Pete Hegseth

NO SHIT

The authority that Trump has asserted in taking America to war against Iran is, like many of his other power grabs, an expression of the very tyranny the Framers were seeking to prevent. “Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object,” a young congressman named Abraham Lincoln wrote in 1848. This was “understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us.” This quote, incidentally, is immortalized on the House’s website, if any members of Congress are looking for it.

The design of the Constitution divided warmaking authority between Congress and the executive to prevent a president to take the country to war by themselves for any petty or self-serving reason. You know, like a king would. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

A Running Count of How Many People ICE Has Killed and Injured - The American Prospect ICE is not required to report any use-of-force incidents against the public. So The American Prospect created our own running tally.

We updated our record of people immigration agents have killed or caused to die since Trump took office in January 2025.

As of today, agents have killed at least 28 people in the field and 48 people in custody.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 About 200,000 Ukrainian refugees in the US are currently in a vulnerable position, where they could be expelled from the country at any moment.

There is information about at least several dozen Ukrainian refugees detained by the ICE and the death of one Ukrainian citizen in ICE prison in Miami.

Trump’s and Netanyahu’s war is rapidly escalating into a global conflict.

NATO is now involved. It has shot down an Iranian missile heading into Turkish airspace. Turkey is a NATO member. NATO’s Article 5 says an attack on one member of the alliance is considered an attack on all.

Mike Johnson, if you're listening...

BREAKING: The House Oversight Committee has voted 24–19 to subpoena Pam Bondi as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Five Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the subpoena.

Rep. Moskowitz can be seen wearing a "JUSTICE FOR CRICKET" pin as he questions Kristi Noem

#Gop is the #Pedo protector party.

Remember this?

“If you take out Saddam, I guarantee you it will have enormously positive impact in the region"

A million people died, an entire society was destroyed in a War based on a complete lie.

Nothing to see here…just Jeffrey Epstein saying in 2018 that Trump is like a rat who, if cornered, would start a war in the Middle East—maybe in Iran—to distract attention from his misbehavior.

Because he’s psychotic that way.

No wonder they had him killed. Epstein fully had Trump’s number.

Mike Johnson's strategy to allow the Trump admin to do whatever it wants with zero oversight or congressional authority or input is just to keep the House out of session repeatedly for extended periods of time.

This!!!!!

#MAGA supporters

Pretty sure he was coked up yesterday -- check out his lip/mouth movements in the video. In the presser a couple months ago, he was more cracked out than any US govt official I've ever seen. Seriously.

Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rule...

LOL: Schiff notes that Kristi Noem's propaganda was more expensive than a lot of movies.

Russia struck homes in Chuhuiv, Kharkiv Oblast, with a drone, destroying them and injuring five people, including an 8-year-old girl.

24,403 lawsuits and counting: How habeas corpus became the front line of immigration defense "We have to kick the door down."

“We have to kick the door down.”

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

Welch: Here's the sole source contract.
Noem: I know nothing.
Welch: Seems like a waste of $$.
Noem: I've signed thousands of contracts and saved lots of $$.

Nothing women have comes without a fight.
The progress you see was built through organizing and persistence.

We’re not done. ✊🏽

Stop doomscrolling for 90 seconds & listen to this clip of my beloved #LowBarChorale singing an acoustic version of “Man On the Moon” by @remhq.bsky.social in honor of the #Eclipse last night in #Portland

Music heals so much & I wish everyone could feel the way we do when we sing together

Yeah, given the pattern of Trump toadies screaming their way through the hearings, this is essential. (Though a lot of this will depend on the committee chair, and all are GOP now of course.)

PADILLA: If President Trump or Stephen Miller directed you to send ICE agents to polling places, would you say 'no'?


NOEM: There is no plan to send ICE officers to polling locations. Are you planning on sending illegal aliens to vote?

PADILLA: No. That's already illegal

Military Commander Tells Troops Bombing Iran Is ‘Part Of God’s Divine Plan’ One commander had a “big grin” on his face while saying Donald Trump “has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran," a service member said.

As a reminder ... rapture Annihilationism theology is incompatible with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is not careful, caring, or considerate of creation.

Noem asked to retract comments calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., pushed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to retract her previous statements labeling Renee Good and Alex Pretti as domestic terrorists. Noem said she was ...

Americans watched as federal agents killed two Minnesotans.

Now their families have to watch Kristi Noem continue to lie about it.
