Israel is preparing for an imminent US strike on Iran and a potential preemptive Iranian attack, Channel 12 reports. The Israeli Chief of Staff is in contact with CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper.

Obviously this violates the War Powers Act and it's yet another issue to throw in the enormous impeachment pile, but it's also low-hanging fruit for Dem candidates. People hate the war. Blame Republicans for accepting this. Blame, blame, blame, then blame more.

This man is unwell.

A lot of people are celebrating the end of the LIV golf tournaments without sparing a thought for the person most affected the demise of this storied institution

Trump wants $100M for his golf outings. Remember when he made such a big deal about donating his salary? The president earns $400,000 per year. His golf outings cost taxpayers 250 times as much as the salary he claims to forgo.

UPDATE: fewer than 24 hours

Those of us in the pro-democracy movement can and should hold both of these positions. 1. We unequivocally reject violence. 2. We will unequivocally oppose efforts by this administration to use last night as an excuse to try to suppress criticism and criminalize dissent.

What happened? The entire Whitehouse Press Corp is there…so we’ll never know.

So just to recap, in the last minute CSPAN says it was a false alarm, CNN says the shooter was killed in the lobby, and the pool report says he's in custody, do I have that right?

Regular reminder (unfortunately)

MSNOW reporting someone tried to rush the event and was shot and killed.

Impeachment, removal, and disqualification doesn't come with a statute of limitations. Just sayin'.

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

First stress dream of the night was edging on nightmare. My wife, others, and myself were getting ready to watch some really gross, disgusting movies (like just shot in the most ugly, vomit inducing ways), when thin sheets of glass shattered, embedding all throughout my fingers, wrists, and arms.

I'm crying, this is so funny, he has absolutely no idea.

As long as I’m Governor, abortion will remain safe and accessible in Oregon. Reproductive freedom is a fundamental right.

During an all-night vote-a-rama, Democrats offered amendment after amendment to correct the course of this bill and meet the needs of working families. Every single time—Republicans voted to block them. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners. Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back.

A couple of takes today appeared to misapprehend the Virginia and California district proposals as some response to Trump. In fact, they respond to escalating attacks on fair districts by Republicans since 2003 — when Tom DeLay engineered a mid-decade redistricting of Texas.

Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.

Your moment of zen.

Link to the ruling. I am not sure I’ve seen a judicial opinion with this many tweet screenshots in it before storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about. Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

so weird that trump shares the same prejudices you’d hear at the klan rally his father went to in the 20s

This morning at 10 ET, the Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee is holding a hearing on … the Second Amendment: www.hsgac.senate.gov/hearings/the... I’m the minority witness. My written testimony offers some thoughts about what the Committee ought to be talking about instead:

Emo Phillips @emophilips.bsky.social

Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

Scorpio: Someone's going to slip up and mention "the experiment" in your presence. Let it go. If you start digging you're just going to get all stressed and throw your baselines out of whack. And honestly it's pretty narcissistic to think there's a whole big experiment about you.

The New York Times needs to get back to human writers and editors. The slop they are churning out is mindless.

An armistice can take weeks to negotiate. A comprehensive peace treaty can take months. No one on Earth who knows a thing about history or diplomacy thought anything could be resolved in six hours. This will confirm for everyone the extreme incompetence and bad faith of the American regime.

1. People are not entitled to due process before I decide whether or not I like or dislike them or will vote for them. 2. My process of deciding whether I believe an allegation is not subject to the Federal Rules of Evidence. /1

I trust journalists way more than cops and courts to investigate sexual violence allegations. When a thoroughly reported journalistic investigation comes out, like the ones about Eric Swalwell, I’ve seen enough. If you haven’t done this work you may be unaware of how much goes into it.

Concerning the longtime rumors around Swalwell, I am reposting here with permission a FB post last time from longtime organizer Michael Trujillo. This history goes way beyond what is reported publicly.

Really weird to be a Gen Xer who lived throug the Rs' moral panic and social stigma of teen pregnancy in the 80s only for their open and unapologetic position now to be that teens should be pumping out more babies, by force of law if necessary

It is a wild reality that the difference between “Obama successfully negotiates the JCPOA“ and “Trump tears up JCPOA and orders obliteration from the skies without Congress having any idea what’s going on” is a contingent swing in ~2% of the electorate

Earthset from Artemis II. I am overcome.

Legal concepts and ideas animated the Glorious Revolution and the American Revolution. Legal ideas and arguments were part of the abolitionist movement and undergirded Reconstruction. Ideas are institutions; they are not self-executing. These things aren't about courts. It's about who we want to be.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com
