Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

Rep. Thomas Massie has announced he'll introduce the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, a bill to give state AGs, DAs, 'authorized state officers,' and victims the right to sue DOJ for "unlawfully withholding, redacting, delaying, concealing, removing, or failing to publish Epstein-related records."

He fell asleep in a meeting with Turkish President Erdogan, referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan", TikTok as "Tic Tac", President Zelensky as "President Putin" & once again demanded the U.S. be given control of Greenland. He's much less dangerous while sleeping than when he's awake. 💤

HODGES: It's clear that momentum has shifted because Russian ground operations have been stopped and Russian Navy is barely a factor anymore. Ukrainian long-range strikes are wrecking Russia’s oil and gas infrastructure, which will cause long-term damage.

SEN. DURBIN: Trump announced he would end war in Ukraine on his 1st day in office. Instead, Trump and Vance publicly humiliated Zelenskyy and made embarrassing friendly overtures to Putin. Hard to understand. Putin's response was to thumb his nose at U.S. and any peace efforts.

The atmosphere at the Los Angeles stadium was electric when Iran played in front of a passionate crowd. Fans across the stadium cheered loudly for Iran, creating a strong show of support and making it feel like a home game for the team.

HODGES: Russia only changes after defeat. Until Russia is defeated, crushed on the battlefield, I don't see it changing. Because there are too many people at the top that are happy or invested in the status quo. They're incredibly wealthy through corruption.

Improper instruction/failing to instruct (misstating what the statutes require, and/or convenient omissions). "Professor" frames the prosecution as the jurors' trusted teachers ("I know you, and you trust me"), while they skipped the no bill returned by the previous grand jury.

It's "classroom banter." Skiba ran the legal instruction segment like a classroom lecture/appeals to authority. Mostly normal: after the judge empanels the jury, the prosecution is the only legal advisor in the room. The misconduct the defense flagged are about HOW they taught the jury:

Understand that media works with the president. You’ll be talking about this today. That’s all that matters. Instead of talking about the removed climate sensors, gas prices, Iran war, etc, this will be the focus that will unite people behind this program.

I would really like for outlets to, after stating the government’s allegations, at least mention the fact that the car ran into us. An ICE agent drove into a crowd. Of people. Who were peacefully protesting. And then the government tried to paint us as a lawless mob.
