What did Trump threaten Cassidy with?

[Manu Raju @mkraju]

After sparring in tense confrontation with Trump over Iran today, Bill Cassidy gets a briefing at the WH.
And then flips his vote — and backs Trump on Iran war powers.
47-50-1, Senate blocks measure to restrict his war powers after a similar resolution passed earlier this week.

Military reverses course and again mandates flu shots for most military and civilian personnel.

Ansari: I didn’t think I could be shocked by anything he does, but he was literally handed a bipartisan housing bill that would lower costs on a silver platter. It was such an easy win for him at a time when he’s so unpopular because of his cover-up of the Epstein files and this illegal war he screwed up. He could’ve said, “I did this big housing bill,” and because he is so committed to rigging the election, he chose to blow it all up. Their party is a mess. Trump is a joke.

Sen. Tillis on Bill Pulte’s mass firings: “My guess is, based on his past experience, it's just going to be another hot-steamy pile of DOGE shit.”

“I think he's an incompetent sycophant and not the right person to lead DNI, and you're undermining” the next DNI

🚨 The Utah Republican Party paid a firm $4.3 million to falsify the signatures of dead people.

The election fraud was conducted in an attempt to legalize gerrymandering in Utah.

🚨ICE agents illegally threatened to tase a PASSENGER for refusing to exit a vehicle… after lying about having a warrant for him, in Lennox, California.

In the video, the agents repeatedly insisted they had a warrant for the passenger, demanded he get out of the car, and threatened to tase him if he didn’t comply.

But, when the passenger continued to ask to see the warrant, the agents suddenly asked for his ID.

After running his identification, they decided to change the story…

Agents then started asking the driver for their ID, despite admitting they did not know who they were dealing with.

When questioned, one agent first claimed they had a warrant for the passenger, then admitted they were “writing it right now,” before finally acknowledging, “I thought it was you.”

So, to break this all down…

ICE agents threatened to tase someone over a warrant they didn’t have, for a person they hadn’t even identified.

The Fourth Amendment exists for a reason. Government agents do not get to detain whoever they want, threaten force, demand identification from everyone present, and just figure out who they are dealing with later.

Because that’s illegal.

If ICE had a valid warrant, they should have been able to identify the subject of that warrant before threatening someone with a taser.

And if they didn’t know who they were talking to… then what exactly was the legal basis for the detention, the threats, and the demands for identification?

This is why people are outraged.

And every time this behavior is excused, it sends the message that ICE agents can ignore constitutional rights, threaten innocent people, and walk away like nothing happened.

FIRST ON CBS: When President Trump returned to power, a group of his former campaign and administration officials started a federal lobbying practice. Mo Strategies, which has registered an array of corporate clients, is now expanding into the newly-lucrative world of pardons. Business is booming. https://t.co/p6gNZxQ1O7

South Dakota's No. 2 GOP Sen. Tom Pischke faces 2 felony charges tied to party positions. He forged 16 documents; 13 people filed affidavits saying signatures were forged. The state GOP chair said he will step away from party duties, calling it a bad look.

And for that Larry Elison (and Oracle) got big tax breaks in the Big Bullshit Bill and Larry's neo baby was allowed to buy CBS and ruin 60 Minutes, Colbert ...

The maximum a person could donate to a candidate in 2024 was $3300.

Larry Ellison donated $45M to Trump and got political favors in return.

Citizens United let billionaires buy elections and bribe politicians.

If you care about election integrity, overturn Citizens United.

Woman impacted by MAGA abortion bans:

I noticed my Texas Senators are not present, so thank you for listening. I found out I was pregnant in July of 2021. We found out that our baby had a lethal genetic diagnosis. We were told that he would suffocate at his first breath. That diagnosis came 25 days after Texas's abortion ban went into effect. Because of that timing, my doctor was silenced. That ban turned every Texan into a potential bounty hunter. Any private citizen could sue anyone who aided and abetted an abortion. That resulted in an appointment where I was told that my baby was going to die, and my doctor could not give me the dignity of explaining all of my options.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Diana Patricia Santillana Galeano was doing what so many immigrants do: showing up, working hard, and serving her community.

https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY confirms she had a valid federal work permit and a pending immigration case. She deserved dignity, due process, and humanity, not to be taken from a daycare in front of terrified children.

Mike Lee, who has become a true cult member, is one of Donald's staunchest allies on the "Save America Act."

Senator Lee is from UTAH.

Which has 100% vote by mail.

Make it make sense.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ossoff: Let's be very clear about what the president is saying to the American people. The president is saying that he will not sign a bill whose purpose is to make housing affordable unless his allies in congress pass a voter suppression bill to rig the election. He is saying, I won't even sign a bill that will give economic relief to Americans unless the rules of this election are changed so that he, Donald Trump, cannot be held accountable for all of his misdeeds because that's what he really fears most of all is that when there is a change in the balance of power, and when we restore checks and balances, he knows that there will be subpoenas flying that officials from his administration will be testifying under oath about the full range of misconduct and corruption that we already know has been happening since the moment he was sworn in.

NEW: Sen. John Hickenlooper is calling on Trump to personally pay back taxpayers for the millions he spent revamping the Reflecting Pool, now a cesspool of algae + chunks of blue sealant.

This is pure, unadulterated Nazism. Hitler’s program to remove disabled people from the community to “institutionalize” them was called “Aktion T4.” It resulted in 300,000 disabled people being murdered.

This is Buchenwald.

76-year-old Martha was inside her own home when a Tesla, reportedly on autopilot, came crashing through her wall and took her life. This is not the first time we have had these conversations about Teslas. The federal government has now opened an investigation and we will be watching closely. Martha deserved to be safe in her own home. Our prayers go out to her family.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Family members of US soldiers wounded in Iran were reportedly told by military personnel their loved ones only sustained 'minor injuries.'

Several families have said this was not true, and their loved ones were actually suffering severe shrapnel wounds and traumatic brain injuries.
