So now we learn from Republicans that when you bomb a country for a week, sink their entire Navy, and kill their military and political leadership, that is not an act of war.

Maybe they can just go with Putin’s term - Special Military Operation.

Seems to be a double standard here.

SCOTUS sided with Nicole Malliotakis, R-NY in agreeing to block a ruling from a state judge earlier this year that her Staten Island-based 11th District was unconstitutional. The judge said the district diluted Black and Latin voting power and ordered it redrawn.

Feds asked New Mexico to halt Jeffrey Epstein Zorro Ranch sex trafficking probe, records show Former AG says feds halted New Mexico’s Epstein inquiry without sharing promised evidence as state reopens Zorro Ranch i

New reporting finds that Trump's DOJ took over and quashed a state investigation into Epstein's New Mexico ranch in 2019.

As the walls close in on Trump, he'll do anything β€” including launch full-scale wars β€” to distract the public.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and
JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting from grant of stay.
The Court's 101-word unexplained order can be summarized in just 7: "Rules for thee, but not for me." Time and again, this Court has said that federal courts have limited jurisdiction. Time and again, this Court has said that federal courts should not interfere with state-court litigation.
Time and again, this Court has said that federal courts should not meddle with state election laws ahead of an elec-tion. Today, the Court says: except for this one, except for this one, and except for this one. Ignoring every limit on federal courts' authority, the Court takes the unprecedented step of staying a state trial court's decision in a re-districting dispute on matters of state law without giving the State's highest court a chance to act. Because that order violates basic principles of jurisdiction, federalism, and equity, I respectfully dissent.

BREAKING: In a setback for voting rights, the U.S. Supreme Court has halted New York’s order to redraw its 11th Congressional District β€” a district a state court found diluted minority voting power.

A court has rejected Trump's stalling tactics on tariff refunds.

And every day he postpones it further will cost us millions in interest.

Contempt. Literally.

Contempt for other countries, contempt for the idea of an international community, contempt for UNSC's mission of preventing breaches of international peace.

Tells leaders to pay for corrupt "Board of Peace," sends unelected, unqualified spouse to chair UNSC.

Utter contempt.

Trump ties Iran strikes to claims that Tehran interfered in U.S. elections President Donald Trump suggested Saturday that his military strike against Iran may have been driven in part by claims that the country interfered in the last two U.S. presidential elections.

Donald Trump is calling all the big news outlets to sell his propaganda. And the legacy media is eating it up. Not one has asked about his tying the Iran strikes to claims that Tehran interfered in U.S. elections.

Democracy Docket did but he doesn't call us to chat.

The money behind the new Iran War In private calls over the last several weeks, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged President Trump to attack Ira

Both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to strike Iran.

Both countries have major financial ties to Trump & his son-in-law Jared Kushner.

War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth. Period.
