Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump can only be removed under the 25th Amendment with the actions of this Republican vice president, this Republican cabinet, and this Republican-controlled Congress. So, if you're asking what Democrats are doing today, I'm not sure you understand how this all works.

Sam Adler-Bell wrote a good piece for New York Magazine on how the right’s increasingly explicit and violent misogyny is splintering the coalition. Here the NYT covers similar material but in treating it like a trend piece, promotes the opposite conclusion
If a decade ago the idea was just another extreme provocation, today it is gaining adherents beyond the fringe. Male influencers and podcasters in the ultraconservative corner of the internet known as the manosphere often push to"repeal the 19th," and far-right young women have also backed the idea.

For some scale, NOAA's budget is $7 billion a year, the National Park Service's budget is $3 billion a year, and the entire federal public defender system costs under $2 billion a year. Heck, this is more than twice what ICE got for Trump's signature mass deportations last July.

America has gone through this dance too many times to go through it again. Stephen Miller and others craft narratives for nominees to deliver to Congress if they think those nominations are uncertain. The narratives have nothing to do with what the nominees are tasked with doing.

Lying to Congress in your confirmation hearing is the prerequisite for receiving a position from Trump. This is true for executive branch and SCOTUS nominees. By now we all know this; it's a gauntlet you must run to prove you believe in nothing. Only corporate media plays along.

Trump attacked Elizabeth Warren in racist terms for years, yet she is more indigenous than Mullin—who foregrounds being like 1/128th Cherokee. We all saw Mullin hiding in terror on J6 before downplaying it. His open violent aggression in Congress should have gotten him expelled.

It's also not inappropriate for media to report on the reputation Mullin has among his peers—which isn't just as someone with no knowledge of the issues but who is openly violent and woefully lacks the sophistication to be a leader, set policy or even understand what he's doing.

All this provides critical context for the reporting that should be done now on how DHS is being run directly from the White House by Stephen Miller—and anyone selected as its figurehead is being selected purely for aggression, deceit, cowardice, and a willingness to take orders.
