Q: "You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school…but you're the only person in your government saying this…Why are you the only person saying this?"
Trump: "Because I just don't know enough about it."

Breaking NYT:
Two teenage brothers and mariachi stars who visited the White House last summer were just released with their family from ICE detention centers in South Texas — immediately following the visit of a delegation of Democratic lawmakers who pressed for them to be freed.
Did you know that one of film history’s most influential cinematographers immigrated to the U.S. in 1904 at age 5 to join his father, a Chinese railroad worker for the Northern Pacific Railway? That & more in the first post in my series on the legendary James Wong Howe! 🗃️ @hcrichardson.bsky.social
White print on black background: Millionaires stopped paying into Social Security for the rest of 2026 today. Billionaires stopped paying in on January 1st. You're going to pay in for 298 more days. This makes zero sense. The wealthy should pay in all year like the rest of us. Scrap the cap.

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

The response is….comprehensive.
A high-powered Chicago law firm announced a plan Monday to push for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate and potentially charge the agents who carried out Operation Midway Blitz.

So some context (yes, this is one of those rare things that is very much In My Wheelhouse as an Involuntary NAR Subject Matter Expert)

We've never been afraid of Greg Abbott & we're certainly not afraid of him now.
It was always a political appointment. What else could it be? Bari Weiss did not qualify for the job of running CBS News, except ideologically. Her appointment as Editor-in-Chief thus required conflict with the newsroom. Scott Macfarlane, I think, saw all of this, and drew the obvious conculsions.
and within another 15 or so after that they came back to tell me that the building had not been sold recently and would not be for sale anytime soon.
That tells me that nobody wants to be tied to this if they can avoid it.
Let me tell you what may be another sign that these warehouses turned ICE detention centers are extremely unpopular. A source reached out and said they heard about a location. I looked it up and reached out to the owner of that location. Within 20 minutes, they responded that they received my email
HELL yea
The fact that Donald Trump is going to try to subvert the 2026 elections doesn't mean he will be successful. We have shown before that we can fight back in court and win. The key is that we must educate everyone about what is going to happen and what they can do as well to defend democracy.
The war is mostly over, will continue until they surrender completely, done any day now, until our last troop is dead, pretty much that or the other
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
Other businesses win but the consumer gets a kick in the pants. Nothing more "Trump Regime" than that.
For my newsletter, I wrote about the Iranian national myth that their country's culture civilizes its conquerors and how the US will never abandon its tradition of violence and blood. www.burnsnotice.com/the-us-will-...

If Jared Polis caves to extortion and pardons an unrepentant insurrectionists, he should be impeached and removed. But everyone involved would probably be better off in Colorado Dems brandished the threat, and Polis backed down. www.offmessage.net/p/impeach-ja...
For some reason unknown to me, Meta just authorized me to participate in their "community notes" program. I just gave it a test run and the first 10 stories it flagged as needing "community note" fact checking were stories that coded as leftist or anti-Trump. Very fair and balanced Zuck!
