JUST IN: With disclosures for a potential vindictive prosecution motion due to the defense on Monday, feds (Pirro) drop criminal case against Army vet who said he burned flag in park to protest Trump pledge to prosecute flagburners. No explanation. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

The only risk in playing Russian Roulette is that you pull the trigger when a bullet's in the chamber. Otherwise it's perfectly safe.

‘We Would Be Entering a Completely Different World’ What happens if oil hits $200 a barrel?

“If the strait remains closed for even a month…sustained higher oil prices could plunge the world into a recession, raise borrowing costs, alter the outcome of ongoing wars, and shift the balance of global-power competition in favor of Russia and China”

In Case of Emergency: The Dubious Legality of Trump Allies' Draft EO Conservative activists say that declaring a national emergency would allow Trump to assert sweeping authority over elections. They're wrong.

NEW: Right-wing activists are circulating a draft executive order that purports to give Trump sweeping power over federal elections.

@mollyroberts.bsky.social and I got new details on the activists, lawyers, and conspiracy theorists behind the proposed order:

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

Literally this

Last week: “We don’t need your stupid aircraft carrier, UK!!!!”

Today: “Hopefully, the UK will send an aircraft carrier to the Strait of Hormuz!!!”

What a fool.

Trump urges UK and other nations to send ships to help secure Strait of Hormuz after Iranian attacks

Trump is begging France, Japan, China, South Korea, the UK, and other countries to send ships to help secure the key Strait of Hormuz oil trade route, which was blocked by Iran after the US and Israel failed to plan for it when starting their illegal war on Iran.

I'm a hell of a lot more worried about voter IQ than I am voter ID!

Trump Admin starts war.

Trump Admin shocked by consequences of war.

Trump Admin urgently (!) tells Americans caught by those consequences to get out! get out! and no there's no help coming from the Trump Admin, and good luck finding a land route out somewhere.

The Dangerous Cost of Fighting Iran Without a Strategy The United States can destroy targets in Iran — but without a strategy, destruction alone leads nowhere.

Opinion | The Trump Administration Floats a New Way to Humiliate the Legal Profession

“So damaged is the department’s reputation for truth telling at this point, one judge noted despairingly, that ‘the court is left with little confidence’ that government lawyers ‘can be trusted to tell the truth about anything.”’

Pete Hegseth is openly calling on Trump-friendly oligarchs to take over the media while unshackling the military from the "rules of engagement" he hates so much. What he really wants is a world in which horrors like the school bombing don't ever fully come to light.

Oil prices aren't expected to fall anytime soon. Futures markets suggest oil prices are very likely to be high high during the midterms.

HUGE (and GOOD) news: Federal court has thrown out the President's attempt to throw the Fed Chair in jail.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

The Senate must reject this bill.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Americans are dying so that Kushner can make money

Leak the Epstein Files already. End this global nightmare. Save lives. Enact actual justice for survivors and victims.

The war will be over when I feel it in my bone spurs.
