More than 350 U.S. service members have been injured since military action against Iran began in February. The majority of those are traumatic brain injuries. TBIs have become the defining injury of post 9/11 conflicts, and the symptoms can often linger for years, or even a lifetime.
Luttig: Every single time Donald Trump opens his mouth or takes an action, the American people are forced to go into court and litigate. That’s the tragic place America finds itself in today.
It is only the Supreme Court that is standing in the way of the American people saving their country.
OK, this Tucker Carlson impression on Saturday Night Live last night is uncanny! Has all the verbal tics and go-to phrases down, and nails the high-pitch cackle.
BREAKING: Federal judge orders Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R., released.
"The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED."
"Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster."
Two Target employees detained by federal officers at Richfield store are U.S. citizens, Rep. Michael Howard said. Target declined to comment.

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.
If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.
Tom Nichols on Kristi Noem: “There is no plausible world, there is no other planet, on which Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel and others would occupy senior jobs in government.”

ICYMI: Military veterans in Ohio could suffer from the cuts to Medicaid in the federal budget bill signed by President Donald Trump in July. A fading level of safety-net supports for veterans could have consequences when it comes to recruiting new service members.

Too many Republican Congressmen fear Trump more than anything else. Too many of their Dem colleagues fear any kind of fight at all.
Holding town halls — all comers welcomed, no question off limits — shifts the focus to the people members of Congress are supposed to serve.

Musk and DOGE just shitcanned the 18F open source development team whose job is to make government more efficient.
Because 🤪.
This was never about efficiency.
You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.
The Pentagon is doubling the number of media outlets losing their workspaces.
OUT: The New York Times, The Washington Post, NBC, CNN,
Politico, The Hill, The War Zone, and NPR.
IN: New York Post, The Washington Examiner, OANN, Newsmax, The Free Press, The Daily Caller, and Breitbart.
Again, this entire discussion is missing a key detail.
Trump wants to fire EVERYONE who treated an attack on Congress, targeting key members of Congress by name.
He's saying if you think defending Congress is part of your job, you're fired.
