Judge Anthony Napolitano on Newsmax: "It gives me no pleasure to say what I’m about to say because I worked with Pete Hegseth for seven or eight years at Fox News. This is an act of a war crime... There’s absolutely no legal basis for it.”

The new CDC #2 has a history of supporting medical gibberish. Pro Ivermectin as a “treatment” for COVID, yet against mass vaccine campaigns. It will fall to leaders at the state level and coalitions like the West Coast Health Alliance to fill the massive gap. #WCHA @governor.ca.gov

And in a third #BrokenPost receipt today, here it credulously buys that Karp and Palantir were progressive until they saw the light to help Trump's racist deportations. How Palantir shifted course to play key role in ICE deportations www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Wonder how folks involved in the boat strikes feel about a successor administration declaring presidential pardons invalid.

“This White House has made it a messaging and policy priority to attack celebrities, whether it’s cracking down on Jimmy Kimmel’s free speech, threatening Bruce Springsteen with criminal investigation because he said something Trump did not like, or raging against an episode of ‘South Park.’…

Wow. "It gives me no pleasure to say what I’m about to say because I worked with Pete Hegseth for seven or eight years at Fox News. This is an act of a war crime .... There’s absolutely no legal basis for it.” - Newsmax's Judge Napolitano

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there. Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

President Trump once again appeared to struggle to stay awake and alert during his own Cabinet meeting. The president leaned forward, leaned back, twiddled his thumbs, and did everything in between...

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

The numbers out of TN-7 are nothing but bad news for the MAGA party. The swing isn’t just in the areas where the district was gerrymandered from the old Dem district, they are *everywhere.* And Trump is not going to get more popular. Not even the GOP’s cheating may save them.

Aftyn Behn is expected to finish within about 4% of Matt Van Epps, which cuts the lead previously held by Trump in Tennessee District 7 by a massive 18 points.

Don't know the final results here but looking like maybe a 15 pt swing toward the Dems from 2024. You absolutely can't extrapolate a special election to a midterm. But that kind of flip in a special is a Defcon 1, we're all going to die type warning for the House GOP.

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff. GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him. (This is a city in the Atlanta suburbs, the 9th most populous city in Georgia.)

In more practical terms, Nashville used to have the representation in Congress that a city of its size is meant to have under our constitutional system, and now it doesn’t.

Jay Bhattacharya and Matthew Memoli aren't bringing "gold standard science" to the #NIH, they are gutting research slowly but surely. When this time is over, they should be hauled before Congress, and shunned for the rest of their lives. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Kiffin could have made history at a place that lifted him up as much as the other way around.  Instead, he became a coaching cliche.

Lane Kiffin chose himself over his team, The Athletic's Joe Rexrode writes. And he'll have a target on his back as he heads to LSU because of his actions.

thinking about how Louisiana's governor pretended to take a principled stand against the rise of massive coaching contracts with crippling buyouts, only for the school to turn around and offer Lane Kiffin a 7-year, $100 million contract

Lane Kiffin is deplorable for how he handled this. But.

It didn’t have to get so messy. It didn’t need to be this ugly. But Lane Kiffin is Lane Kiffin. And apparently he hasn’t changed much after all. Column: www.nbcsports.com/college-foot...

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home. They are lawless bestial scum.

The “kill them all” order by SecDef Hegseth would be a textbook war crime even if the original attack had been legal.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Trump, with no authority to do so, demands the airspace “above and surrounding” Venezuela be closed as he threatens to bomb and invade the country.
