The House passed an Iran War Powers Resolution. This does not immediately end the war. It still has to go through the Senate and Trump would likely veto it. But it is a major bipartisan rebuke of an unauthorized war and a reassertion of Congress’s constitutional role.

Earlier this week he said “virtually treason.” Now he says “actually treason.” He is President, and has directed prosecutions. Not an opinion, a threat.

What Rep. Dan Goldmen describes is not “detention.” It’s state-sanctioned abuse, and it’s what happens when human beings are disappeared into systems with no accountability.

The MN GOP didn’t hold a moment of silence for George Floyd. They did for Derek Chauvin. A movement on the right has been pushing Trump to pardon Chauvin for his fed conviction. Hopefully he won’t, but his record of pardoning violent offenders when it serves his interests makes it a real danger.

People hate watching government become sponsored content while families are being squeezed at the pump and DOT is quietly lowering air traffic control hiring targets. That’s the part people can’t unsee.

This isn’t just a slush fund but a recruitment ad. Michael Fanone explains that “pardon plus payday” is how Trump builds a political militia. He’s telling violent loyalists that if they hurt people for him, he will protect them and even pay them for it.

If the administration can pick which court orders count, there is no rule of law. There is only power.

The Steady State
MAGA survives on the politics of inversion: oppressors become victims, diversity becomes hatred, civil rights become discrimination, & cruelty becomes courage. Authoritarian movements don’t just lie about reality; they reverse it, turning accountability into persecution, and inclusion into threat.

The $100 million figure was not “made up.” It was a reported estimate of potential liability if Trump lost a long-running IRS audit fight.

Comey’s question is the right one. If DOJ is creating a taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization” fund with “no partisan requirements,” can Comey apply? Letitia James? Mark Kelly? John Brennan? Adam Schiff? Andrew McCabe?

Trump talks about China with a kind of civilizational warmth he rarely extends to America’s democratic allies. With Beijing, it’s “250 years of respect,” shared values, family, courage, and national greatness. With Western democracies, it’s bills, tariffs, weakness, and grievance.

The drives from Karl-Anthony Towns have been key for New York early in this one. Cleveland hasn't been afraid to switch or change the matchup. Has Strus here and looks to go 1v1. Good job from Alvarado to clear the wing and Hart to slide to the right block.

A C-SPAN caller identifies himself as "John Barron" (Trump's known past pseudonym), ranting against the Supreme Court's 6-3 tariff ruling and calling Hakeem Jeffries "a dope." It was probably not Trump, but the fact that we can’t completely rule it out says a lot.

Van Weel: er zit een politiek motief achter de aanslag. “Je gooit wat bij een politieke partij naar binnen, dat doe je bewust en niet omdat je toevallig een cobra in je hand hebt. Het lijkt me heel sterk dat er wat anders achter zit dan een gerichte aanval op @d66.nl

SOUTHCOM blew up another boat in the Pacific, but this time the video is zoomed out so far you can't make out anything, other than the boat was moving. Previous to this one, it was in color, and the boat wasn't moving at all. Those are usually fishermen that they kill. #SOUTHCOM #WarCrime 1/2
