CNN shows a side by side of J.D. Vance taking credit for what Obama already had in place — an Iran deal Trump ripped up before killing a lot of people and wasting a lot of money (at Israel’s request)

FBI’s search for evidence of voter fraud is reminiscent of OJ Simpson’s quest to find “the real killer.” Both seem to be shamelessly transparent efforts to advance a ridiculously false narrative.

LIGRIS: I suspect you're quoting retweets or comments to other tweets
WHITEHOUSE: No. They're your tweets. You're responsible for knowing what you said. Don't put it on us to have to explain to us your own tweets. This is your mess, not ours. If you can't explain that, that's on you.
PETERS: Yes or no, if a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposed rule?
POSTMASTER GENERAL STEINER: No.
PETERS: So the proposed rule basically coerces states to hand over their absentee voter rolls or face the consequences of not being able to vote by mail
NEW: While some Rs cheer Trump's decision to hold up housing bill over SAVE America act, others were angry & dumbfounded
"What a s--- show. ... Crazy crazy crazy,” one House Republican told me. “A once in a generation housing bill falls victim to the nuts.”
Said another House R: "People are pissed off that we are not taking care of business.”
"That's it?" -- Durbin confronts a Trump DOJ nominee named Konstantinos Ligris with some of his tweets -- including calling Walz "tampon Tim," Biden officials "retarded," and referring to cops as "dumb as dirt" -- and Ligris doesn't even try to defend them, leaving Durbin dumbfounded
And the bill passed with huge veto-proof margins, carrying 92% of the House and 94% of the Senate. The only way it doesn’t become law is if Trump vetoes it AND convinces lots of Republicans to flip to no on an override vote.
BREAKING: @DDAction_ is calling on Congress to scrutinize Trump's proposed $300B Iran reconstruction deal -- who authorized it, where the money goes, & whether the Trump family stands to benefit
Congress must act before any money moves -TN
.@PabloReports: Mr. Chairman, any reaction to this Reflecting Pool controversy?
Smith: I think there's much bigger and more important things to worry about.
PabloReports: Such as?
Smith: Affordability
PabloReports: What are Republicans doing to help affordability?
Smith: LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION! WHO ARE YOU WITH?!
The White House looks like shit.. The East Wing has been bulldozed. The lawns looks like they were used for a Demolition Derby. The Kennedy Center is under a tarp. The Reflection Pond is disgusting and fenced off. Trump has turned the Capitol into a shithole.
NEW: Soldiers wounded in the deadliest attack against American troops in the Iran War tell @cbsnews they believe the Pentagon downplayed their injuries in the aftermath -- a claim DoD strongly denies.

The Senate GOP meeting with Trump is not going well. “A total cluster f#ck,” one person said
Trump is mad about the war powers resolution passing yesterday and he and Cassidy are going after each other
🚨UPDATE: The U.S. veteran, who was violently assaulted and illegally arrested by ICE agents in Maryland… has been released with no charges filed.
And here’s the part that keeps getting ignored…
ICE agents claimed THEY had a video of the U.S. veteran assaulting an agent.
But when asked for the video, no video was provided, and the U.S. veteran was released without charges.
Meanwhile, there are multiple videos, and eyewitness accounts, showing the U.S. veteran being the one who was assaulted.
And this is the pattern that keeps repeating…
ICE agents use force and arrest someone without probable cause.
The agents create a narrative after the fact.
“Evidence” is claimed, but never released.
Contradictory footage, from the public, circulates.
And still no consequences for the agents involved.
Because even after all of this, the agents are still on the streets.
And the public is expected to just move on… like this is normal, like this is acceptable, like this is simply how things work now…
Instead of acknowledging the pattern that needs to be addressed, and holding agents accountable.
