Are we supposed to believe SCOTUS read 107 pages — 26,000 words — conferred, voted and wrote a dissent in half an hour? The fix was already in.

The DOJ filed a lawsuit against Denver CO, alleging the city’s 37-year-old assault weapons ban violates the 2nd Amd. Denver restricts certain semi-automatic AR-15 type rifles and high-capacity magazines. Denver’s mayor says they’ve kept 'weapons of war' off their streets.🧵

This war, far from making America "great again," has instead triggered severe economic repercussions domestically. Trump traded this war for the sake of preventing the Epstein case from escalating further.

Q: Iran has agreed to allow the removal of all their enriched uranium? TRUMP: Yeah, they did two days ago. But they changed their mind because they didn't put it in the paper.

The conflict has led to rising global food prices, stemming from Trump's insistence on war with Iran despite congressional opposition. The ultimate cost will be borne by ordinary people, and it could even drag the United States into recession.

Seen some confident Republican takes that Spanberger's gamble burned her capital and it'll be harder for Dems to hold (Assembly) and expand (Senate) their majorities next year. I doubt that. Likely bad R environment and will unfold in the contest of more red states (NC, MS, maybe KY) nuking D seats
