Can I just say: As weary as you may feel, do not turn away from the degradation and desecrations, the violations and the violence. This is what the lawless Trump regime hopes--that our fatigue will make it easier for them to consolidate their power.

Truly a perfect news alert
A group of us in the Senate are demanding public hearings on Trump's disastrous war with Iran with Secretary Hegseth and Rubio. And we've introduced a half dozen war powers resolutions to force the Senate to vote every day on the war if the hearings don't happen.
RON JOHNSON: 650k people that are at large in America have committed crimes. Mr Bier, you're shaking your head
BIER: They're not at large. They're in prison. They're in prison where they should be
JOHNSON: They're not detained!
BIER: They're detained by the states. They're not detained by ICE
Who is demanding the imposition of sharia law in America?
I can't think of anyone calling for that, much less enough of a groundswell that it warrants an actual response from Congress.
Who's pushing this, Mike? Name names.
A shocking number of people responding to this video clearly did not watch the video. David is extremely opposed to the Trump administration's terrorization of immigrant communities. He is describing serious problems with the current laws which make accountability difficult.
Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"
BREAKING: Former military lawyers say use of JAG lawyers in Minnesota violates the Posse Comitatus Act.
Although recent litigation has focused on troop deployments to American cities, a new challenge in Minnesota looks at DOJ's use of JAG lawyers in non-military cases.
New, at Law Dork:
Coons: "Right now, the clearest winner from this war in Iran is Russia. It's stunning that President Trump is on the phone with Vladimir Putin and spending more time consulting with him than he is with Congress and the American people."

Leaders of both parties should be calling for Witkoff's immediate resignation after these remarks. He is a Russian patsy, a traitor, and this has just gone for too long. It is has to end.
I’m hollering at my screen… yaaas!
Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to.
“Why is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, ‘this dude don’t have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?’” 🔥

I didn't know being stupid was this hard 😳
Are we still looking for waste, fraud, and abuse? I think I found some.
Schumer: "Iran doesn't have Tomahawk missiles, Donald Trump! The claim is beyond asinine. He says whatever pops into his head no matter what the truth is. And we all know he lies, but on something as formidable as this, it's appalling."
CNN already showing what it will become.
We have some truly despicable legislators. Fine and Ogles are two of them, but there are others.
💯
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
BREAKING:
The DNC is suing the Trump admin to try to compel the government to say whether it is planning to put armed federal agents or military personnel at polling places and election offices this year.
