NEW: A horrific new bill introduced by Chip Roy would weaponize immigration law to target "socialism"—defined so loosely as to include even advocacy about economic equality—so that naturalized citizens could be stripped of their citizenship and deported.

Hoping she gets a huge settlement. One that ends the Blaze and its efforts at disinformation and misinformation.
NEW: In a lawsuit, the falsely accused January 6th pipe bomber describes what it was like having the FBI suddenly descend upon her home—even with a helicopter—all because of a kooky article on the right-wing website the Blaze that swayed Trump admin officials.

ICYMI, @lauren-egan.bsky.social on how the left is preparing for a midterm-year Trump SCOTUS vacancy—or even two—in the latest edition of The Opposition:
Screenshot of a tweet by Democrats Deliver (@DemzDeliver) highlighting that Minnesota now has the third lowest poverty rate in the nation, 45% lower than West Virginia. The post includes a split image of Governor Tim Walz smiling outdoors and an aerial view of the Minneapolis skyline along a river.
Blue governing leads the way.
Iranian state-linked media, Tasnim News, asserts: "If the US wants to maintain the shadow of war, it should consider the Strait of Hormuz completely closed."
Taco is stalling he can manipulate the market and make billions
Then he'll pull out of the Iran straight, let Iran charge per passage, and Trump will pass that cost onto us.
So, big oil is essentially double dipping.
Just like the tariff scam.
Advisor to Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf says Trump’s ceasefire extension “makes no sense,” calling it an attempt to buy time for a surprise attack and claiming Iran “currently holds the initiative” as tensions escalate.
Seniors on fixed incomes can't absorb rising costs the way others can. In Arizona, 1 in 5 residents is over 65. Washington doesn't talk about that enough. My Cost of Living Emergency Act is designed to protect them and the retirement they earned.
Good morning!

Have a great day!
RFK Jr. has destroyed over a quarter of health dept’s expert panels
Under Kennedy, the health dept. has wiped out 75 advisory boards, corrupted others.
He is a conspiracy theorist, not a doctor, don't believe him.

Oh snap!
Democratic House Rep. Marc Veasey absolutely demolishes RFK Jr. during the hearing on the HHS budget:
"You have blood on your hands. I honestly hope that Donald Trump tells you to get to steppin' next."
Boom!
🎤
Democratic House Rep. Marc Veasey is torching RFK Jr. for telling Rep. Suzanne Bonamici that he's never been anti-vaccine:
"That's a ridiculous lie because you're probably the most anti-vax figure I can remember in my lifetime."
🍿
Pro vaccine on the streets, anti-vaccine in the sheets
I love that every 72 hours or so Donald Trump tries to just quit the war in Iran
Any one who switches sides now is doing it because they know his poll numbers are in the golden toilet.
Q: What do Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Alex Jones, and Marjorie Taylor Greene all have in common?
A: They have all turned against Donald Trump for reasons other than him raping children.
um wat
Flu spreads efficiently especially in close quarters like military troop lodging facilities. If you are in the military you are required to get several vaccines because of how devastating outbreaks can be to troops and also because they are more likely be targeted by agents of biological warfare.
If the nickname I had acquired was “taco”, I would simply not set deadlines for tuesdays
Don’t you dare call Trump TACO!
BALDWIN: Do you think NIH should fund less cancer research?
RFK Jr: No, they should fund more, & one of the few agencies that got a raise in the budget was NCI
B: That increase is less than $1m for an institute with a $7b budget. That's a .01% increase. It wouldn't even cover one additional grant
Warsh claimed that the Wall Street Journal had bad sources. Their source was Donald Trump himself. Either Trump lied to the Journal or Warsh just committed perjury.
The conservative intelligentsia is just wildly, cartoonistly racist, and the fact that this gets less elite pushback from the prestige media/commentariat than "woke" does is such a damning indictment of our whole society.
The year is 1969. Man lands on the moon. Back on Earth, the Concorde flies its first test for a commercial supersonic airline.
The year is 2026. Man circles the moon and will, a few years later, land. Back on Earth, there is a concept of a plan for commercial supersonic flights.
PATTY MURRAY: What happened to childcare in this budget?
RFK Jr: Ok, let's talk about childcare then instead of the war
MURRAY: Just so it's clear, the president is requesting $1.5t in defense which cuts our non-defense incredibly
RFK Jr: It's not my department
Brent oil is back above $100 after US Vice President JD Vance called off his Islamabad trip.
This follows Iran’s refusal to join talks there to negotiate an end to the War or, at the minimum, extend the ceasefire, which is scheduled to expire tomorrow.
#economy #markets #oil #middleeastwar
Trump will take credit for any victories, but blame Vance for any losses.
He is threatening any company that does not voluntarily surrender what he illegally took.
