just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

🚨 Talks with Iran have collapsed before they even began.

Iran refuses to negotiate under a U.S. naval blockade and threats, and Trump says he expects bombing to resume once the ceasefire ends.

Iran is warning it will retaliate if attacked—and planned talks in Pakistan appear dead.

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.

anyway, if this court is going to act as little more than a partisan legislature than it ought to be treated like one by the actual legislature

Aaron Astor: My general tendency is to reject conspiracy theories. And yet, this keeps happening - massive trades just minutes before Trump announces something. And that something (Iran handing over uranium and opening Hormuz) often turns out not to be true at all.

Yet another ICE inmate death is ruled a homicide by medical examiners.

Strait of Iran, folks.

The FBI Director Is MIA Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

"Several officials told me that Patel’s drinking has been a recurring source of concern across the government... Early in his tenure, meetings and briefings had to be rescheduled for later in the day as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Unbelievable corruption right in front of our faces.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads: I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.

Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

Neguse: "Despite all of that, Speaker Johnson made the decision to gavel the House & send everyone home. Now we're back 2 weeks later & what has the majority decided is the most pressing issue to debate? Apparently it's a resolution commemorating a bill that the GOP passed last year. It's absurd."

To some extent, but there are still W-2s, 1099s and other reports from 3rd parties that get someone on the IRS' radar. What's going to tip off the taxing authorities about these 2nd homes?

Will be interesting to see how they intend to enforce that. People are going to claim their NYC place is their primary residence and that their house in the country is second. Or each spouse owns one house. Or they bury it in shell corporations, etc.

The actual Colegio Militar de la Nacion building in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Note there is no Nazi symbolism anywhere in sight.

Someone sloppily added a Nazi symbol to a perfectly normal building in Argentina and you fell for it. Duh.

Seems like a good time to share an amazing bit of reporting by Cokie Roberts that has stuck with me: Her discovery of a letter from Louisa Adams detailing how Congress left behind *40 pregnant mistresses* after the extra-long session of 1820, necessitating more orphanage space -->

Holy shit, you have to be TRULY EVIL to make Switzerland get up off the neutral fence and call you out FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME SINCE 1815?!?

trump MUST be removed from office.
Same goes for his enablers in Congress.

A doctor costume, honestly, not Jesus…

Dear maga “Christian’s”

Trump is now violating the first commandment

How convenient.

If you’re not mentioning this as part of why Israel won’t stop the bombings, you’re not telling the whole story. Bibi is out for Bibi.
