The decision by the major television outlets not to participate in the White House pool today in response to Trump's self-declared "ban on the free press" will leave the most TV-addicted president in our history without network cameras recording his every utterance and movement.

Fresh security alerts tonight for American citizens in the Middle East.
US embassies in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan and Israel have also issued their own warnings citing Houthi attacks.
"This military conflict has the potential to escalate rapidly," one of the alerts said.

There's a lot of talk about the possibility of Russia attacking NATO "soon" (maybe within months). I think the probability is high. Putin has seen Trump's command style in Iran and Yemen. Trump is afraid to fight. That has likely emboldened Putin. He knows 100% that Trump will not nuke Russia.

Pete Hegseth's obsession with dead and wounded has led him to manipulate the KIA and wounded numbers and to fail to report deaths in the Iran War. The Telegraph already reported how the spouses of war dead were being told that they wouldn't get war death benefits. This is positively perverse.
washingtonpost.com
More U.S. troops have died amid Iran war than Pentagon has disclosed publicly
Officials who spoke with The Post expressed frustration that the additional loss of life in the Middle East is not reflected in the Defense Department’s casualty database.

If Dems win and control 52 seats, one of the first things they need to do is expel Fetterman and forfeit his pension. Send it back to PA for a special election. It's a better than 50/50 shot of getting a decent Dem.

Climate change is not a hoax, and it is not a matter of scientists simply "believing" in it. It is an empirical finding supported by decades of observations, measurements, experiments, and physical evidence. This planet is warming due to CO2 emissions and that's as real as you are!

Science fun: Helium was found on the Sun before it was found on Earth. It was discovered in 1868 during a solar eclipse by several scientists, including Norman Lockyer. Lockyer also founded Nature, the renowned scientific journal. Helium was later discovered to also exist on Earth.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

America turned 250, but instead of democracy, we got a rally for autocracy. While Trump joked about a third term, masked extremists marched with Confederate flags. Founders signed their names in defiance; these cowards hide in shame. Normalizing hate isn't patriotism; it’s a threat.
