Trump’s obsession with demonizing the Somali community is dangerous and reprehensible. Hate to break it to him: Somali Minnesotans are resilient. We will not let Trump intimidate us. Our neighbors have our back.

One thing that Ossoff does - thank god - is COMPLETELY abandon the weird liberal wisdom that you should never say your opponent’s name. He says “Mike Collins” about 30 times in this clip, not “my opponent” or some such, and the directness make his attacks exponentially more brutal.

Florida Republicans’ new gerrymandered congressional map violates a voter-approved state ban on partisan gerrymandering, voting advocates argued Friday, asking a court to block the state from using the map in the 2026 elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

‘Staggering’ evidence of partisanship: Florida court hears arguments for blocking GOP gerrymander

DeSantis and his allies have sought to distract from what their opponents are actually arguing before the court: that the map represents a stark violation of the state ban on partisan gerrymanders.

The ongoing US enforcement of the blockade of Iran undercuts any potential argument that US armed forces are no longer involved in "hostilities" and therefore the War Powers Resolution's 60-day clock doesn't apply to current military operations.

Earlier today in the Arabian Sea, U.S. Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit boarded M/V Blue Star III, a commercial ship suspected of attempting to transit to Iran in violation of the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports. U.S. forces released the vessel after conducting a search and confirming the ship’s voyage would not include an Iranian port call.

American forces continue to operate and enforce the blockade across the Middle East. So far, 39 vessels have been redirected to ensure compliance.
