Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor was just days away from returning home to her husband and two children when a drone strike in Kuwait killed her and five others.

Americans are stranded abroad — we all have a responsibility to do everything in our power to safely get them home. The federal government must immediately provide clear evacuation guidance and plans to leave the region. I’m calling on the State Department to take action now.

Despite the lies the President and his administration want to tell, you can see and hear what happened for yourself when ICE ran rogue in our state. No one is above the law — the Illinois Accountability Commission will hold them responsible.

The Trump DOJ has been taking down Epstein files. The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released, according to a CBS analysis — and the number continues to fluctuate.

BREAKING: Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez to Trump: We are not going to be accomplices to something that is bad for the world and that is also contrary to our values and interests, simply because of the fear of reprisals from some.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran: Twenty-three years ago, another US administration dragged us into a war in the Middle East. A war that, in theory, it was said at the time, was being fought to eliminate Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, bring democracy and ensure global security.

Ukraine: Russian Shahed drone hit a passenger train carriage in Mykolaiv.

Spain to Trump: "Spain opposes this catastrophe … governments are there to improve people's lives … not to worsen them .. it is absolutely unacceptable that leaders who are incapable of fulfilling this task use the smokescreen of war to mask their incompetence $ line the pockets of a select few."

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 Tehran is under massive bombardment. Millions of people live in this large city. In my view, such actions could have very serious consequences. It would be far better if politicians learned to reach agreements rather than allowing conflicts to escalate to the destruction of entire cities.

Most telling part of this rant: That the war will go on until "we decide it is over," not until the aims of the war are achieved - because there are no stated aims; and Trump prefers having none, so any result will allow him to try to claim a "win."

Interesting. I’m just old enough to remember when it was the WWII generation that wouldn’t get off the stage. Clinton/Gore was considered a sea change in ‘92. Dole seemed ancient when he ran in ‘96.

This kind of rhetoric is corroding our nation’s very soul. There are thorny questions of “just war” but this is clear: no follower of Jesus, indeed no one who believes in any kind of loving God or even simply in humanity can be a cheerleader for “death and destruction” of our fellow man.

“America … without mercy” Polling consistently shows 80% plus of evangelicals support. Is it any wonder so many of us left the denominations we grew up in and once put so much of our time into?

1.Internal emails from Liberty University Law School, obtained by Popular Information, reveal how the Trump admin hires interns. Students were informed about "exciting" legal internships at Labor Department. “You MUST be aligned politically with President Trump… GPA is not a strong factor.”

Crockett concedes: “This morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee. Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person.” (Statement via NBC’s Priscilla Thompson)

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court. That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits. Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

Should start calling this stuff "The DOGE Effect"

Some say that Crenshaw’s opponent who defeated him is worse. That may be true. But Crenshaw voted with Trump 100% of the time and was an insufferable, smug, arrogant dick whose unhinged, drunken late-night Twitter feuds showed he needs counseling more than a seat in the House.

Jared Polis, Gov of Colorado, just pardoned Tina Peters (a 2020 election conspiracist who broke the law) at the demand of Trump I’m shocked and sickened

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal." She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%! Context:

Anyway, what's happening in state legislative primaries in North Carolina rn should have everyone thinking differently about elections this fall -- yes, November is v far away but y'all people are maaaaaaaaaaad at what these MAGA creeps keep getting up to and also at everyone who aids and abets

This is unbelievable, somehow in all the countless tens and hundreds of thousands acts of cruelty this one stands out. The American people are not gonna tolerate this and many similar acts of cruelty. Huge wipeout for GOP coming in November.

Add in a fourth primary in NC: Michael Wray, a former North Carolina Democratic lawmaker who helped the GOP override a bunch of Governor Cooper's vetoes before losing in 2024 to progressive challenger Rodney Pierce, was trying a comeback. He is down 62% to 38% so far.

DHS repeatedly said that an aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover. Documents show the real story behind the raid was to target alleged squatters — with the landlord's blessing.

A democratic candidate just won in the *checks notes* Arkansas state house special election. Flip from R to D.

Check out the number of votes.

Strongest signal yet from Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D) that he'll give clemency to Tina Peters as President Trump has demanded. Polis notes a fmr Dem State Senator recently got probation on charges that drew prison time for Peters, who unrepentantly defied the judge at sentencing

Two wars. One supply chain. Hormuz is shut, European gas is up ~75%, and Patriot interceptors are being pulled from the same stockpiles Ukraine relies on. Russia pockets the windfall. Ukraine reports 460 km² liberated and a fresh IMF tranche. Today’s daily summary: the collision and the cost.
