Here come the Fairfax County votes.

Eight children were murdered in Shreveport, and most of the country barely seemed to notice.

@citizencohn.bsky.social looks at what our numbness to mass shootings says about America.

Our Idiot President “Can’t Even Surrender Right” We will get the worst possible result from the least-worst choice.

"My verdict was that the ceasefire was a shit sandwich, but a shit sandwich we can afford to eat. Since then Trump has screwed up the execution on this, too."

JVL WON A WEBBY! bit.ly/4cD4tCZ

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

Trump: "STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP: Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal. I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Good to see Dr. Oz finally admit what we’ve been saying all along — fraud is a nationwide problem and the federal government needs to look inward before turning to unwarranted partisan attacks that ignore past actions by states to fight fraud at the state level.

OPEN THE STRAIT. CLOSE THE STRAIT. WE ARE BLOCKADING. LIFT SANCTIONS. IMPOSE NEW SANCTIONS. JD IS IN PAKISTAN. JD IS NOT IN PAKISTAN. STILL BLOCKADING. WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT. THERE IS NO AGREEMENT THAT IS FAKE NEWS. BOMBING AGAIN SOON (MAYBE)!

I’m glad that the Mad King isn’t going to commit war crimes right now, while once again it is obvious this bumbling fool has no idea what he’s doing.

BREAKING: TACO TUESDAY: Donald trump delays ethnic cleansing and war crimes again by extending the ceasefire indefinitely.

I’m sure Trump has put the US in a very strong bargaining position by issuing two ultimatums with hard deadlines only to back down both times after Iran called his bluff.

4-D chess from the cult leader.

If they wanted to get away with something like this they should have painted the statute brown and raped it.

It must be Tuesday.

The Blaze's quickly debunked reporting based on “gait analysis” was enough to get the feds to descend with a helicopter on a falsely accused J6 pipe-bomber’s home.

@willsommer.bsky.social has new details from the lawsuit.

Trump's approval on economy falls in AP-NORC poll, showing new warning signs for president A new AP-NORC poll finds that President Donald Trump’s approval rating on the economy has slumped over the past month as the Iran war drives prices higher.

HAHA he’s the judge who asked the Mueller team if they had investigated Mike Flynn for treason and called Flynn a traitor hahahahaha

Trump’s Not Paying Attention to His Own War But then again, do we want him to be?

"To paraphrase Don Rumsfeld, you have to go to impeachment with the vice president you have, not the vice president you might wish to have."

"I love that he's being condescending to the Pope. That it's the Pope that needs to be careful with his rhetoric. Has he ever talked about Trump needing to be careful with his rhetoric? No. It's just the Pope."

@timmiller.bsky.social and @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social on Vance lecturing the Pope.

Dems Aren’t Buying Reports of Alito Staying Put How the left is preparing for a midterm-year Trump SCOTUS vacancy—or even two.

This time - yes, there may very well be a "this time" - progressives think they can rally voters around a Supreme Court nomination fight in a way they haven't been able to before.

"If this were a one-off, you know, you might have more suspicion about the story, but it's not like there hasn't been a succession of reporting about Kash."

@samsteindc.bsky.social and @willsommer.bsky.social on Kash Patel’s $250 million lawsuit against The Atlantic.

Putting strict limits on the definition of treason and significant requirements for its proof was one of the smartest things the Founders did.

Rightly So

Kash Patel and the Lessons of FBI Leadership How does the current director stand up to his predecessors?

"Who could plausibly challenge Trump Junior? Tucker Carlson is the obvious answer." Another year of presidential nominations not being fun anymore. lnk.thebulwark.com/48So1SL

Jeffries on Kash Patel: "We have to stop putting all the blame on the people who nominated this incompetent, toxic, malignant individual. What about the people who confirmed him? It's extraordinary to me that Senate Republican confirmed people like Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, RFK Jr, and Patel."

Trump yesterday: Iran better sign a deal by Tuesday or I’m blowing up power plants and bridges!

Trump today: I’m in no rush to make a deal. Time is on my side.

The Democrats are doing everything possible to hurt the very strong position we are in with respect to Iran. Despite World War I lasting 4 years, 3 months, and 14 days, World War II lasting 6 years and 1 day, the Korean War lasting 3 years, 1 month, and 2 days, the Vietnam War lasting 19 years, 5 months, and 29 days, and Iraq lasting 8 years, 8 months, and 28 days, they like to say that I promised 6 weeks to defeat Iran, and actually, from the Military standpoint, it was far faster than that, but I’m not going to let them rush the United States into making a Deal that is not as good as it could have been. I read the Fake News saying that I am under “pressure” to make a Deal. THIS IS NOT TRUE! I am under no pressure whatsoever, although, it will all happen, relatively quickly! Time is not my adversary, the only thing that matters is that we finally, after 47 years, straighten out the MESS that other Presidents let happen because they didn’t have the Courage or Foresight to do what had to be done with respect to Iran. We’re in it, and it will be done RIGHT, and we won’t let the Weak and Pathetic Democrats, TRAITORS ALL, who for years have been talking about the Dangers of Iran, and that something has to be done, but now, since I’m the one doing it, belittle the accomplishments of our Military and the Trump Administration. This is being perfectly executed, on the scale of Venezuela, just a bigger, more complex operation. The result will be the same. In my First Term, I built the Greatest Military our Country has ever seen, including adding Space Force. In my Second Term, I am properly and judiciously using our Military to solve problems left to us by others of far less understanding or competence. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump compares his war in Iran to World War 2 and calls Democrats traitors: 'We won’t let the Weak and Pathetic Democrats, TRAITORS ALL, belittle the accomplishments of our Military and the Trump Administration."

@samsteindc.bsky.social: "He's got this quality of speaking about him that I think is both calming, but also piercing."

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and Sam Stein discuss Sen. Jon Ossoff's campaign and his communication- and unspoken communication methods- that are working for him.
