If Democrats were sincere about opposing kings and safeguarding the civil liberties of all Americans, they could draft and then move a bill via discharge petition to repeal the parts of the Obama-era NDAA that authorized the indefinite detention of Americans. Why aren't they?
When an out-of-state senator comes to Brooklyn to help DSA-backed candidates defeat incumbent Democrats—steps from the home turf of the Senate and House Democratic leaders—it’s not a local fight. It’s a declaration that the socialist wing intends to take over the Democratic Party
Taking on @JodiKantor, architect of MeToo, who now finds herself splitting hairs around the accusations against Graham Platner.
From the new episode of The Fifth Column.
NEW from me:
Darializa Avila Chevalier co-created a taxpayer-funded college course that promoted the abolition of schools as engines of “genocide” and “white supremacy”, and assigned materials in a separate course around “penis panic,” anonymous gay sex in bathrooms, and a podcast unpacking “problematic childhood songs.”

This is a really good point. As the confirmation of combatant deaths in Gaza continues to rise, as the fantasy academic papers about 100s of 1000s of dead get proved wrong, as S Africa beg for more ICJ time, their genocide narrative falls apart, so they must escalate.
Last week, at a Best Western in Sioux Falls, Joe Biden kissed a woman who wasn’t his wife on the mouth.
That, and other observations about the return of the Bidens.

From what we know:
Even on a phase one (Strait only) deal, Iran receives roughly $8B from oil trade over 60 days—reducing incentives for phase two (nuclear commitments).
And Iran now claims it would maintain control of the Strait with fees.
Last night with @kaitlancollins.
This isn't hard: Condemn violence without equivocation. The reported planned violence and intimidation at the University of Michigan is wrong. This is simple and any leader should be able to say so. The fact my opponent cannot bring himself to say that is concerning.
“I can’t think of a better way to honor America’s 250th birthday than by giving those who have sacrificed so much a way to make their lives better”: Meta is giving free Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses to every legally blind veteran in the U.S., Meta president @DinaPowellMcC and @UFC president and Meta board member @danawhite announce.
From WH official on Iran deal:
1. Nuclear material will be destroyed and removed
2. Nuclear program will be dismantled
3. None of their money released until they perform
4. Strait of Hormuz will be open
5. No Iran funding of terrorist groups
Official adds: "This is what they agreed to. This is a performance based deal."

As of this morning the European location and exact date of a deal sign off between VP Vance and Iran's leadership remain in flux. Here is what we know:
U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding likely to be signed next week - CBS News https://t.co/EAVIxJw0Lh
BREAKING: The U.S. military has killed the alleged leader of Venezuela-based gang Tren de Aragua, President Trump announced Friday.
The president said on Truth Social that U.S. Southern Command carried out a "swift and lethal kinetic strike" to "successfully execute" Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, also known as Niño Guerrero. The mission was "closely coordinated" with the Venezuelan government.
I'm seeing a lot of fake information about a potential deal to reopen the Strait and end Iran's nuclear weapons program. First, the Iranians are not receiving any cash, and no funds are being released for simply signing a deal or attending a meeting. The deal is structured to ensure that the US and its allies concerns are prioritized, and that if the Islamic Republic of Iran meets its obligations, then economic benefits will flow to them and to the entire region. This deal has the potential to remake the region and lead to lasting peace.
I've noticed a couple of bizarre things in the reporting over the last few hours. First, people who (rightly) said Donald Trump was a historic president a month ago now criticizing a deal based on unconfirmed media reports. Second, people who say you can't trust a word said by the IRGC who apparently believe anonymously sourced social media posts.
The president is going to get us a good outcome, one way or the other.
Throughout his service in both the U.S. House and Senate, John Sununu earned a reputation as a principled leader committed to limited government, economic growth, and individual liberty.
His experience, dedication, and record of service make him the right choice for the U.S. Senate, and I am proud to endorse him.
