NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.

But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority.

🔵 Democrats flip another seat in the New Hampshire State House.

Democrat Bobbi Boudman wins a special election in a Trump+9 district, after losing the same seat by 14 points in 2024. A 13-point Democratic overperformance.

Apparently, Kegseth hasn’t destroyed their ability to drop truth bombs.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.

Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.

(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)

This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

The ICE detention center purchases appear to be money laundering:

Trump’s newest pledge has Democrats cheering — and Republicans squirming “I guess he’s not going to be signing many more bills,” Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, told MS NOW on Monday.

“Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances,” @schumer.senate.gov the bill is Jim Crow 2.0 & it would disenfranchise 10s of millions of people.”

“If the president is refusing to pass his own agenda, given his agenda, that’s probably a good thing” @warnock.senate.gov

Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

ICE says these new detention warehouses are for the “worst of the worst.”

We also know only less than 14% of people ICE detained last year are violent criminals.

Because $$$ seems to be the data point that gets average Americans to care, let’s talk about the economics of concentration camps.

EU rails against famed Venice art festival over Russian return The Venice Biennale reinstated Russia’s pavilion after a four-year absence.

The Venice Biennale is facing broad condemnation for its decision to let Russia participate for the first time since Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, with countries calling on the art festival to reconsider the move and the EU threatening to pull funding.

Trump advisor: Congress does not have a constitutional role in the declaration of war.

Klein: I will quote the Constitution. ‘The Congress shall have power to declare war.’ It is Congress that has the power to declare war.

Trump advisor: S-so… The issue has to do with what was meant by ‘declare’…

Ukraine has helped the US more in the last few days than Trump ever done in the last 12 months! 🤬🤬 #JDdidyousayThankYou #TrumpwhosholdingALLthecards #Ukraine #BeBraveLikeUkraine

More collective punishment.

I know it's not much compared to this war, but we're now also spending $650 million a month just on the *interest* accruing on the tariff refund money that Trump is stalling on paying back.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

Sen. Warren: The Trump administration can’t explain why we entered this war or what the goals are. One thing is clear: while there’s no money for the 15 million Americans who lost their health care, there’s $1 billion a day to spend on bombing Iran.

This is why Western intel services shouldn't be working with iSSraeli intelligence.

iSSraeli intel can't be trusted.

iSSraeli intel isn't reliable and is designed to deceive Westerners into believing that iSSraeli interests are the same as their own interests....

This is clearly fine with the GOP.

Pathetic. Truly pathetic.

They really earn the label "controlled opposition"

So many average citizens have stood up to Trump.

Alex Pretti went to the street to protect his fellow humans, who the Trump regime was harming. He lost his life for it. Renee Good lost her life for resisting.

And sorry, but—these fucking cowards in the Senate can’t vote against Trump nominees?

Wow

A family friend won the contract. Embezzlement.
