Once again, President Trump is weaponizing the Justice Department in an attempt to sabotage our democratic process and turn it into his own personal agency to interfere in state elections. This request is as absurd as it is baseless.

If you think a Trump electoral false flag terror incident is impossible, keep in mind that Vance arrives in Hungary tomorrow — right in the middle of Orbán’s electoral false flag terror operation, which Vance will presumably endorse.

Trump walked out of Supreme Court today with a message indicating he knows he’s likely to lose
My report tonight for @meidastouch.com

Via @nytopinion.nytimes.com, my quick take on today's #SCOTUS argument in the birthright citizenship case.
TL;DR: The justices labored mightily to make sure Trump will lose *this* case, but in a way that will make it easier for him to avoid at least some similarly resounding defeats going forward:
A selfie of Timothy Snyder in the crowd at the Cincinnati, Ohio No Kings event. There is a large crowd behind him, many people carrying signs. A sign directly behind him says "Orange Lies Matter."
#NoKings Cincinnati, Ohio.
Protest matters. This will help to get us through.
An abortion ban survived at the North Dakota supreme court last year: 3 of 5 justices voted to strike it down, but it would have taken 4.
One of the two justices who voted to uphold the ban (Jerod Tufte) is up for reelection this year; no one has filed to challenge him yet, with 9 days to go.
This story is off base.
All along, Democrats offered to fund ALL the other parts of DHS.
Republicans held TSA and the rest hostage.
On this #NoKingsDay, let’s commit to spending more time fighting back against tyranny than fighting with each other. It’s the only way forward.
Please share if you agree.
The Romulus Warehouse is simply not—and never will be—an appropriate place of detention for numerous reasons. Among others: The Romulus Warehouse is located within a mile of an elementary school and a middle school and abuts residential neighborhoods. (Exhibit 1, Aerial Map.) The Romulus Warehouse is located on a three- lane, city-owned road that cannot handle traffic for a large-scale immigration detention center. The Romulus Warehouse is in a floodplain—and frequently floods, including last year. The Romulus Warehouse has only six bathrooms and relies on a 6-inch sewer line connected to a 15-inch city-owned sewage pipe under Cogswell Street— neither of which could possibly handle the sewage load necessary for 500 detainees and staff.

Michigan AG Dana Nessel SUES the Trump admin to stop an ICE warehouse in the city of Romulus: It’d hold up to 500 people, has only six bathrooms, and frequently floods, including last year, per the suit.
Another suit like this recently succeeded in Maryland.

I will be on the floor with Cory to offer this resolution. There is a growing group of Democratic Senators who refuse to let Republicans keep the Senate silent on this incoherent, illegal, disastrous war.
Tonight, on the Senate floor, I will call up my War Powers Resolution to withdraw U.S. forces from this reckless and unauthorized war of choice with Iran.
The Senate must do its job and hold this administration accountable.
HUGE: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — Trump's former personal lawyer who was also responsible for Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a cushy club fed — has intervened to block the DEA from providing details of a mysterious Epstein investigation to my Finance Committee team.
SCOOP— Trump wants a 24k gold coin w/ his face on it for America 250, but an official at a late February coin advisory committee meeting called it something only done by "nations ruled by kings or dictators."

(Reuters) - President Donald Trump's administration has rebuffed efforts by Middle Eastern allies to start diplomatic negotiations aimed at ending the Iran war that started two weeks ago with a massive U.S.-Israeli air assault, according to three sources familiar with the efforts.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.
1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.
This Trump tweet is a work of art and needs to be kept for posterity. It turns out that the US has destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability. Yet, to combat a military with no capability he is left pleading with allies he has regularly insulted to save him in the Gulf.
So when are Republican lawmakers going to admit this president is endangering not just the U.S. but the entire globe and stop him before he does even more damage?
Political Cartoon. Pete Hegseth is portrayed as a game show host about to spin a wheel comprised of various satirical and stated claims for the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. The top left corner reads, "We just went to war! Why? It's time to play America's favorite game show: What's the Reason Anyway?" Hegseth states, "Let's spin it!"
Representative Frost was fabulous in this interview.
Excellent! Two of my favorite folks to listen to and learn from. Looking forward to it.

In terms of importance, the subhed and hed should be reversed. The real story is that Kiley is still caucusing with the GOP. As long as he keeps voting for leaders' rules packages, that's all that matters.
Changing his official designation to "independent" doesn't change how the House operates.
