Trump has said the Iran war is almost over at least 60 times. It's been 212 days. 19 service members are dead, 800+ wounded, $43 billion gone. We counted every broken promise with @votevets.org.

Trump thinks that because he's changed the name of AI, now all concerns expressed about it previously are a hoax. The illogic is breathtaking. (Note that in this clip he's also lying about economic growth.)

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Klobuchar: “For a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team … and imply that you were in another city, that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia, and then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology.”

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

DDHQ FORECAST: Democrats have a 55% chance of a Senate majority. The biggest projected swings from 2024 are in GOP-held seats: close to 16 points in Alaska, more than 15 in Texas and 14 in Iowa. Maine bucks the trend, with Susan Collins (R) averaging a 0.02-point lead. #AKSen #TXSen #IASen

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Data centers DO “create a different atmosphere for neighbors.” In TX, many folks in those “open spaces” use rural electricity & water co-ops that cannot support the increased demand required for data centers w/o significant (and costly) infrastructure upgrades.
