Please don't overreact to the SCOTUS SAVE database decision today Page 6 of the decision makes clear that we are in the 90 day statutory window when mass changes cannot be made to voter lists! Yeah it's a shit decision for the reasons the 3 dissenters say but we can deal with it. More to come...

In case facts still matter

"When prompted, the chatbots fabricated photorealistic imagery of election fraud that in some cases included fake or falsified government documents. One platform even wrote the prompts to create such images for us..." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Original text: He should live long enough to witness his inevitable devastating loss in the midterms, be held accountable for his unprecedented corruption, impeached, convicted & humiliated for his countless crimes. Long enough to realize he'll be disgraced in the history books, forevermore.

Accurate Edit for Clarity: "He should live long enough to... be held accountable for his... crimes." Actually, I was wishing him the opposite of dead, but apologize if you found the image inappropriate. 💙-mh

Trump was supposed to have an on camera event with the president of Brazil at 11:15am today. It is now nearly 2pm. The president of Brazil is at the White House. But nobody knows what's going on.

JEWISH RUTGERS U STUDENT PROTESTS IDF SOLDIER: “When grandmother told me about the Holocaust and about ‘Never Again’. This is not ‘Never Again’. ‘Never Again’ means ‘Never Again’ for everybody.”

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥 Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.

Republican Senator John Kennedy just blamed Trump for the shutdown: “The Democrats offered a deal. We said accept it. Trump said no.” That deal would have ensured TSA agents got paid this week.

They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan. Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.

In today's newsletter, I discuss the child-like grandiosity that led Trump to choose for his Iran war the name "Epic Fury." Andrew notes the child-like subservience of his terrorized sycophants, clapping like seals and wearing Trump-selected shoes too big for them. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

“Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death” sure sounds like nuke talk

‼️Russia struck a residential high-rise in Kharkiv with a ballistic missile while people were sleeping. As of now, 10 people have been confirmed killed, their bodies recovered from under the rubble. Among them are children.

Breaking MS NOW: An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits. Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

Ending this operation is not enough. We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

Chairman of the law firm that initially caved to Trump’s demands is in the Epstein files… imagine that…

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

PEACEFUL” WAR IS COMING … AGAIN: We are likely going to War with Iran within days if not hours. Trump no longer wants airstrikes to support murdered protesters. He demanded Iran disarm all nuclear programs he said were “obliterated” by today … that deadline has passed.

🚨 The Senate has agreed to a deal to vote on 5/6 full appropriations bills and replace the DHS funding measure with a 2-week stopgap bill, per multiple sources. That gives time to negotiate on the Dem demands for ICE and CBP restraints.

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

"He said he saw guards choking Lunas Campos and heard Lunas Campos repeatedly saying, 'No puedo respirar' — Spanish for 'I can’t breathe'..." www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

BREAKING: Medical examiner says death of ICE detainee was a HOMICIDE - a witness says he was choked to death by GUARDS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Let’s have one anyway and see what happens.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities This is exactly the opposite. Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Unconstitutional force. Civilians dead. Congress bypassed. Oil interests front and center. We’ve seen this movie before and it ends in blood. But we don’t have to do it again.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

It’s the United States that needs regime change.

I'm losing track of how many countries a man livid he wasn't given the Nobel Peace Prize has illegally bombed. Iran. Venezuela. Nigeria. Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya. Pakistan. Somalia. Syria. Yemen. Not to mention threatening to annex Greenland and Canada and invade Panama.

If Nicolás Maduro stands trial in the United States and gets convicted of 34 felonies, does that mean he’s qualified to be our next president now? Just checking what the standards are these days.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Kharkiv right now ‼️ people may be trapped under the rubble.

Trump sympathizes with how stressful it would be for Putin to have to stop killing people for a while because of how inconvenient it would be for him to resume it. This whole thing is a farce. A charade. Putin is playing Trump like the useful idiot that he is.

Phang: If that happened in January, how in the actual hell is Blanche now telling the American people that they suddenly discovered a million more documents? GTFOH. As far back as January, the entirety of the Epstein files were transferred to Main Justice at DOJ…

As the president outlined his plans to capture Greenland and hijack Venezuelan oil, his real agenda became obvious. It’s extortion, conquest, and theft. Remember when he was the peace president? Today's Morning Shots, from @saletan.bsky.social and @cathyyoung63.bsky.social:

I hope the Dems realize that if they extend the ACA subsidies, and take no other steps, they are giving carte blanche to the biggest insurance companies and major hospital systems to find new ways to game the system and increase costs.

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

Zaporizhzhia last night. Russia struck yet another apartment building with a drone.

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety. We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

Our strongest allies of many decades all over the world are saying similar things.

Trump lies about everything. From BBC.

What a repost...
