Asked about Swalwell, Waters notes that "things were rolling out" even before the latest information. She added (let slip) that Pelosi was previously backing him and raising money for him (that wasn't public to my knowledge). "I think Nancy is correct that he's got to go."

At a district appearance, Rep Maxine Waters says she was told that ML King hospital in South LA will close in 2027 if Medicaid cuts go into effect.

The Academy is gonna have to hand out a special Oscar for NASA's cinematography team-- just absolutely breathtaking visuals all around, right down to those choppers landing on the ship with a stellar California sunset behind them.

His past wasn’t his past - it was up until prrrrretty recently

Democrats are treating Rep. Eric Swalwell like a person who has been credibly accused of sexual misconduct, including rape. It doesn’t matter that he’s a Democrat — they’re appalled and not in denial. That’s the difference between the two parties.

Before anyone feels like yelling about Swalwell being wronged - nah Save your energy There are multiple fine candidates in the race Who weren’t always creeps

Yay science! Yay NASA!

Can you imagine the fucking arrogance to run even if you tell yourself this is all consensual?

"In 24 hours, Trump seesawed from being prepared to enact a literal genocide on the Iranian people to deciding the Iranian govt was his business partner. This reversal makes sense in his head & nowhere else, but since there’s no guardrails, everyone has to treat this as rational behavior & move on."

We are <this close> to the very unbalanced and angry choosing bad ways to handle this chaos

Legal eagles noticed, and there’s been SOME mainstream coverage. But overall the political class has underreacted to this month’s OLC opinion, ordered up by Trump or on his behalf, declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional. Things are likely being stolen and/or destroyed *right now*.

President Donald Trump's administration has admitted to a major error in data used to justify a federal fraud probe into New York’s Medicaid program.

As of right now, Trump’s occupation of the twin cities and Minnesota never ended. It just changed As the national media and other mostly moved on, his siege, psychotic economic warfare, and terror campaign against the state and its civilians continue to this day: zeteo.com/p/donald-tru...

NEW: Zelenskyy confirmed for the first time that Ukrainian electronic warfare systems & interceptors were used to take down Iranian Shahed drones in “several” Gulf countries hosting US military infrastructure. “Did we destroy them? Yes, we did,” he told @FT. www.ft.com/content/d0db...

The British military spent more than a month tracking Russian efforts to spy on critical undersea pipelines and telecommunication lines on the floor of the northern Atlantic Ocean, Britain's defense secretary revealed on Thursday.

Things were rather grim when Trump was threatening to wipe Iran off the map. Yet by conceding that Iran has operational control of the Strait of Hormuz, things remain grim, as global shipping is poised to become a toll road. From me, on the catastrophic outcome of a senseless war:

NEW: "Trump's threats aren't only a blot on America's conscience and stain on our reputation, as the world now sees the United States as a country that might threaten the worst possible crimes to get what it wants. They're also a total failure on their own terms." www.thebulwark.com/p/iran-schoo...

Surely the Strait of Hormuz will remain the only toolbooth in global shipping and navigation around the world, no way it becomes a model for countries seeking independence and treasure

My full, unedited conversation with Rep Jason Crow (D) on the war on Iran: www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1Jd...

Rep Crow (D-CO) on the ceasefire after Trump's threat to end Iran's civilization: "It's a good thing that the President of the United States is saying that he's not going to commit a war crime, but it's actually just stunning to me that we're even having this discussion.. I mean, what the hell?"
