The problem for Trump now is, his governing strategy depends on creating an escalating series of novel dramatic shitshows. But he's running out of novelty now, all he can do is escalate and/or create variations on existing shitshows. That does not lend itself as well to control of the newscycle

Big news for our public lands—Republican attempts to sell off our public lands using reconciliation do NOT pass the Byrd Rule. The Parliamentarian also finds their sneaky attempts to undermine NEPA and mandatory oil and gas leasing and permitting schemes don’t fly. This is a huge win!

JOE ROGAN: “These ICE raids are fuckin’ nuts… if Trump had said we’re gonna go to Home Depot and arrest everyone, tackle people at construction sites, I don’t think anyone would’ve signed up for that… It’s crazy.” (PSA: You were warned, Joe. Yet you signed up for it.)

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

Trump’s unilaterally joining Israel in their war against Iran is also illegal and unconstitutional. Something every Democrat should be saying. There was no Congressional authorization.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Trump trusts Israeli intelligence more than US intelligence. Throws Tulsi under the bus. Netanyahu does a unilateral strike on Iran making Trump look weak and befuddled. Trump then does a 180 and does Israel's bidding. Amazing America First agenda.

The United States should not wage war against Iran. Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war. This is a horrific war of choice.

I doubt Iran will actually fracture the MAGA coalition. More likely, they’ll come around to support whatever Trump ends up doing. I think this because that’s what’s happened every time internal disagreements arise. Cult of personality and shared hatred wins out. But I don’t really know. We’ll see.
