Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

As predicted, looks like the GOP magically found the votes after their meeting with the President. Their key compromise? Make the Medicaid cuts and clean energy cuts sooner. New draft to drop soon… 19 hours later Dems are still holding it down in Rules testifying on behalf of the American people! 💪

Clarke: This is a fight over what is right and what is wrong. It is wrong to use this moment to drastically cut the services that the American people need—on top of tariffs, on top of gutting the federal workforce—while people are facing challenges, and then to dismantle healthcare as we know it.

BREAKING: ICE and private prison contractor GEO Group are refusing to allow Mahmoud Khalil to hold his newborn son for the first time, even after his wife flew them over 1,000 miles to visit. We just asked a federal court to order ICE to grant Mahmoud's request for a contact visit with his family.

Olszewski: We’re still learning in real time what this bill even includes. Taking out fees on gun silencers? Making tanning easier—while they’re gutting food benefits and taking away healthcare from people. They’re turning their backs on veterans. It also adds trillions to the deficit.

At some point soon all Democratic Senators need to learn that “nuanced” decisions are not going to work anymore. They are destroying the government and your “compromise” is just a surrender. Some seem to get it but too many are clinging to a fantasy.

New in PN: Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation "It’s not just that Dugan was arrested, but how she was arrested. The whole point was to cause a scene. There’s no allegation she was attempting to evade arrest, but the FBI still forced a sitting judge to do a perp walk at her place of work."

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
