Let’s not forget the Supreme Court granted DOGE members “unfettered” access to Social Security data last summer. So when some little DOGE pipsqueak walks off with a thumb drive full of it and brags about expecting a pardon, that’s not just a DOGE problem. That’s on them too.
With three weeks until Donald Trump meets Xi Jinping, Beijing is frustrated by what it sees as poor U.S. planning that may leave key diplomatic and security matters untouched.
🔵 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.
None of them can talk coherently about strategy or goals but they are completely in sync in all their macho posturing because that is all they’re really focused on. Everything else is just whatever limply offered fiction is convenient to them at the time.
It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
Playing up this macho nonsense is likely how Putin and MbS roll them—plus the bribes of course
OUR FULL WRITEUP of tonight's big special election flip for Dems in NH. A few details:
• The GOP candidate had to run as a write-in in the primary b/c he'd only just moved to the district
• The GOP spent heavily, including their official campaign arm
• School vouchers were a flashpoint
And more!
This is real life.
Genuinely, we don’t talk enough about how *dumb* he is. He obviously thinks “clean coal” is some pristine type you can pull out of the ground and he couldn’t explain a tariff given every textbook in the world and an untimed test. Wild how media pretends whatever he says is normal politician speak.
I mean obviously no but also “Can Trump point to Iran on a map?”
He will conjur a lie in a few days, claim Iran met our demands, and will try to end it.
Iran may not play that game.

He thinks this makes him look strong and virile (even while his ankles swell, his skin sloughs off, and his words slur). It’s the last gasp of a leader who knows he’s weak and failing, but cannot admit it to himself.

Leaders around the world appear to be struggling to respond to an American administration that is no longer constrained by pretending to care about human lives, the law, or the cost of its hubris. trib.al/1Cwdk19
Would tie that to a funding cutoff for Trump’s illegal war.
In 2012, Obama won reelection by a landslide. Trump’s response at the time:
“Let's fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice!”
He showed us who he was that day: an election denier. And every action he’s taken since has continued to reinforce that, Marc Elias writes.
⬇️ For your consideration: Watch to learn about the $220M taxpayer-funded ad campaign that's tied to a mysterious Delaware LLC and a horse named Gill.

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.
They know that the American people do not want a war
So Iraq's WMDs, Iran's nuclear weapons, and Donald Trump's healthcare plan walk into a bar...
Stop me if you heard this one.

Lava from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano shot as high as 1,000 feet into the air Tuesday, sending ash and volcanic debris across parts of the Big Island and forcing officials to close sections of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and a key highway.
doing this without attaching it to a war powers vote is political malpractice

NEW: DOJ sued Washington State for access to the state's unreacted voter data. However, it failed to file proof that it served the complaint. So now the federal judge has asked DOJ to show cause as to why this case should not be dismissed. www.democracydocket.com/cases/washin...
Probably a bit hard to let people flash bang and tear gas and point live rounds in civilians faces and then tell them oops no more, but sure.
These people were openly plotting to manufacture false pretenses to undermine federal law and overthrow the constitutional order. Clark, the ringleader, was already under indictment for conspiring to overturn the 2020 election.
And then we just . . . put them in power again.
It's all there. All of the bullshit claims about emergencies and national security threats. The goal all along was to give Trump the power to deploy the military domestically to suppress dissent and crush MAGA's enemies.
These are dangerous people. They're now in the highest levels of government.

By end of 2025, ICE was using 104 more facilities than at the start of the year, a 91% increase. The system already has enough funding to operate up to 135,000 detention beds through FY 2029. 2025 was the deadliest year in ICE detention on record.
