Important: Later today Senators will vote on whether to rein in Trump's warmaking authorities. A few Dems could still defect. Fetterman is a No for now, but I'm told he doesn't want to be the vote that kills it. Every Dem absolutely should be for this. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/1973...

The Trump admin is now waging a full scale propaganda campaign to prop up the president’s questionable claims about Iran & denigrate journalists who report anything that contradicts Trump’s version of events. The good news: the press is fighting back. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

"If anyone is dissing our troops, it is Mr. Hegseth who seems to think that they will be easily unmanned by reading Toni Morison. It is Mr. Trump who wants to snatch away their health care. The troops are amazing. Their leaders are not. They deserve better." read @eisendrath.net:

Please listen to this: Bobby leaves no doubt about the stakes of the reconciliation fight. No-one thinks this bill is a good idea. The best its sponsors can do is lie about what’s in it.

Any discussion of whether it’s okay to use a nuke is permission for Putin to use one in Ukraine. It is also yet more proof this administration is stupid, lazy, reckless, dangerous and immoral.

Trump wants the spotlight anywhere but Capitol Hill. That’s where, in 2020, he sent mobs to overturn our election by force. Now MAGA lawmakers are moving to sunset the democracy by legislation, eliminating any checks on Presidential power. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/edwineis...

You would never know it from watching Fox or Sinclair or scrolling through facebook & twitter, but LA is actually not on fire. Local news has solid on-the ground, fact-based reporting about the protests but much of it is getting drowned out by Trump's propaganda partners. My latest:

This is jump-ball journalism. The New York Times says Trump’s provocation in LA is either A) a step to maintain order; or B) creeping authoritarianism. NYT knows the answer is B, but won’t tell the public. Fascists love it when the media avoid conclusions and treat everything as a matter of opinion.
