Sen. Thom Tillis on the calls to use a talking filibuster to try and pass the Save America Act: “It’s a waste of time. I don't think it's going to result in an outcome. And if you take a look at the chances of success versus the probability of failure, it's not even close.”
LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ?
TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged
LANDERS: It wasn't though
TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?
LANDERS: Your own AG said it
TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter
LANDERS: Where's the evidence?

The Administration's classified briefings on Iran are infuriating Democrats in Congress, with some describing the strategy they are hearing as "incoherent" and "no plan" at all

Universities have been able to block many, if not most, of the White House’s moves in court, Rose Horowitch writes: “Trump has certainly left his mark on America’s universities. But he has not broken them”:
Steve Witkoff is somehow arguing that the Trump administration destroyed Iran’s uranium enrichment capabilities with their June strikes, but also that Iran was still actively enriching uranium, and bragging about its enrichment, after these facilities were destroyed. trib.al/vkrOJ6p

A legal oversight organization that polices attorney misconduct filed formal accusations against DOJ attorney Ed Martin after he sent threatening letters to Georgetown University Law School last year.
This filing initiates conduct proceedings that could result in sanctions or disbarment.
The Trump admin AGAIN claims that it's an "emergency" that they can't immediately strip 350,000 people (most who entered legally and have never undocumented) of their ability to legally remain in the United States, even though conditions in Haiti have only been getting worse.
Breaking News: The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow it to end a program shielding hundreds of thousands of Haitians from deportation.
The US military accidentally struck an Iranian elementary school, in an attack that state media said killed at least 168 children and 14 teachers, likely due to outdated information about a nearby naval base, according to two sources. https://cnn.it/4bzFnFT
The Federal Government has not demonstrated a strong likelihood of success on the merits or “serious legal questions” coupled with a balance of hardships tipping decidedly in its favor. Any harm from the investigation- specific disqualification is abstract at best, whereas granting a stay would reinstate an official who acted without lawful authority -- a clear injury to the State Government. The public interest likewise favors ensuring that governmental power is exercised only by officials with lawful authority. Each factor, and all four taken together, weigh against granting a stay.
Another defeat for another unconstitutionally appointed Trump DOJ prosecutor:
Ex-Trump campaign lawyer John Sarcone will remain disqualified as U.S. Attorney for Albany, and his subpoenas to Letitia James' office will stay quashed.
He's not likely to succeed on appeal, a judge finds.

In more conventional times, I'd be wary of this kind of analysis as veering too far into speculation. But I agree with Snyder that there's enough evidence to compel us to recognize it as a possibility. Not a certainty, but a possibility.
IEA countries agree to the largest-ever release of oil reserves in an effort to curb rising prices caused by Middle East turmoil https://cnn.it/4s2X7z8
As Washington focuses on its push to topple Iran’s government, delaying talks on Russia’s war in Ukraine, some in Moscow say the attack on Iran has fueled doubts about negotiations with the U.S. and say the Kremlin must achieve its goals militarily.
BREAKING: Dozens of countries agree to release 400 million barrels of oil from their reserves in a move to ease price increases caused by the Iran war.

Dems just scored an upset win in a New Hampshire special election:
Democrat Bobbi Boudman won the special election for Carroll County District 7, defeating Republican Dale Fincher 51-47% in a district that voted Republican by more than 13 points just 16 months ago.
President Trump's pick for a senior role at the State Department said Tuesday that he is withdrawing from consideration after having faced bipartisan backlash over his comments about race and religion.
Roberts Courts legacy is to make it harder for ordinary people to engage in the most basic form of participation (voting), for that participation to matter (letting gerrymandering stand), while removing any constraints from billionaire influence on politics
President Trump’s fixation on financial markets as the measure of his stewardship of the economy came into focus again this week, when his shifting outlook on the war with Iran sent oil and stock prices swinging wildly.
There is no evidence that voters are clamoring for candidates who distance themselves from progressive policies. Nor are there signs that voters are despondent about the party’s prospects of winning a general election that they will accept a nominee with a Republican-lite platform. trib.al/kRVhBoa
“We treat declaring a major like taking a vow”
Steven Mintz believes that we need to rethink how college and university students select academic majors. Here is a taste of his piece: "We've Made Choosing a Major Too Hard": We treat declaring a major like taking a vow. The language says it all:…
Sen. Rick Scott: "Unfortunately, prices are gonna be up for a while"
CNN: Why isn't the US Navy escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz?
SEN. RICK SCOTT: I can't tell you the answer to that, but I think right now it's still a dangerous situation. It's gonna take a while for us to get control of the Strait of Hormuz.
