We must prevent Iran from ever having a nuclear weapon, and support Israel’s ability to defend itself. But the President cannot declare war on Iran or launch strikes against it without Congressional approval. Congress must not cede that authority to this or any other president.

This is an excellent splice of Tim Snyder's speech on what's next after No Kings. Maddow is doing extraordinary antifascist programming on a national network and it sucks how much bravery that takes right now.

Kaine first reviews the bios of the people for whom bases were renamed. Then asks why Whiskey Pete why he didn't like their service. Then asks what families said when Hegseth told the families. He claimed Army informed them. Nope, Kaine says, the press did. Several family members were in the room.

HIRONO: If a court says this deployment of troops into our cities is not legal, would you follow that court's order? HEGSETH: I don't believe district courts should be determining national security policy. If it goes to the Supreme Court, we'll see.

“Of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people; commencing demagogues, and ending tyrants.” — Alexander Hamilton (1755/57–1804), The Federalist No. 1 (1787)

The federal government imposing a stop work order on Trevor project for the national 988 suicide hotline on the same day that the Supreme Court greenlit a ban on care despite the risk of suicide sends a clear message: The United States government officially wants trans youth to kill themselves.

"We're not saying you can't get health care because you're transgender, which would be illegal. We're just saying we refuse to treat the conditions that cause you to be transgender. That's different and okay." A pathetic, indefensible logical pretzel from SCOTUS

I have watched this exchange between Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz a couple of times because it is unbelievable. It looks like no one took their meds in the MAGA asylum for the politically insane. After watching this interview, Tucker needs to do Trump next.

KAINE: When you called the Gregg family to tell them that their dad's name was no longer gonna be on the base, what was their reaction? HEGSETH: The Army notified them K: You didn't call any of the families. I've spoken with them. They were called by the press. That's how they learned about this

Lurking under the surface of the 6–3 majority is a split over how to evaluate laws that indisputably discriminate against transgender people. Barrett, Thomas, and Alito say that anti-trans discrimination is not subject to heightened scrutiny. Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch don't say either way.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

🤥 @sentedcruz : “If Iran gets a nuclear weapon I think odds are high we would find out with a mushroom cloud over New York City or Los Angeles.” After getting humiliated by Tucker, Cruz hops on to beat the drums for war and fearmonger to the Fox audience.

Maybe reporters should have the courage to ask politicians simple questions like this. I bet we’d get similar results.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

I’d like to say “we’re better than this.” But the truth is that this dark and hateful strain of nativism and bigotry has always pulsed through the body politic of America. Now, however, it’s’ being activated and applauded from a lawless White House.

On his trip to the UAE, Trump agreed to give valuable U.S. AI technology to a UAE-owned company — just two weeks after ERIC Trump struck a deal with another UAE firm to use $2 billion to boost the Trump family's crypto business. I broke down this brazen, pay-to-play corruption last week:
