An agreement on the Strait of Hormuz is taking shape – but not one Trump wants | CNN
There are competing routes through the strait and what’s on the table appears to involve merging them – with Iran retaining a level of control that would be at odds with US wishes.

Nothing can constrain Trump? Warren: No. Republicans have the majority. They could constrain Trump on war, slimy tax deals, on his corruption. The list is long. But to do that, they would actually have to grow a spine. And so far, what we have around here is a bunch of gelatinous blobs. PabloReports
“The Reflecting Pool mess is different from other Trump obsessions because it reveals just how immune to evidence and logic his beliefs have become, even when a trusted lieutenant wheels an entire box of supporting evidence into the Oval Office.”

Americans' approval of the US Supreme Court hits all-time low amid controversial decisions. GOP dissatisfaction a major factor. Progressives condemn recent rulings.

Big corporations and their lackeys in the Trump administration scapegoat immigrants to divert attention from their theft and abuse. While they lie to us about the problem they are the ones stealing from working people. Plain and simple, they want us divided and distracted while they rob us.
Corporations, Not Immigrants, Are Responsible for Vast Majority of Healthcare Fraud, OIG Report Shows
Trump officials are focused on immigrants, but the Department of Health and Human Services report on healthcare fraud doesn’t even mention them.

It’s bad. Ukraine is still effectively hitting both inside Russia and occupied Crimea almost daily, but Putin (as usual) is targeting population centers instead of legitimate military targets.

They indicted an Olympian for damage their own contractor caused. 5 hours cuffed. National smear. Then dismissed “without prejudice” so they can do it again whenever they want. Prosecutors get immunity. Does this poor man even get an apology? #USDemocracy #RisingBlue apple.news/AEfSKoBgCSa2...

Mallory McMorrow immediately endorses: “Congratulations to Abdul El-Sayed for winning the Democratic primary to become our nominee to be Michigan’s next US Senator. I’m proud to give Abdul my full endorsement and support as we head to November together as a unified party”
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 15h agoNEWS: Abdul El-Sayed has won the Democratic Primary for U.S. Senate in Michigan. He will face off against Republican Mike Rogers in November.
El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"
El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
Honestly is anyone surprised? I'm not. This is what you get when you elect a criminal who wants to be king to be President. Project 2025 told us exactly what was going to happen. And here we are.
I’m glad the President has his priorities straight.
Once again, GOP sides with Trump over Epstein survivors. Blanche was just as responsible, if not more, than Bondi for the harm done to these woman by the botched rollout of the files. I really don't wanna hear GOP/MAGA talk about protecting women and girls from trans folks. @deadder.bsky.social
NEW from me: I think this is the perfect time to use Rachel Maddow’s oft-repeated phrase - ‘watch what they do- not what they say.’ Ignore Ellison's PR pitch, but look at what's happening at CBS News including directing reporters to add “facts” that did not exist. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...
David Ellison can’t be trusted with CNN
We've already seen how Ellison has wrecked CBS. Don't fall for his PR push on CNN.

The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.
UPDATE: Today 35 former federal judges filed a comprehensive opposition to Donald Trump’s expedited motion to stay in the case of Donald J. Trump v. Internal Revenue Service. Simply put, members of the legal system are trying to put a stop to Trump's ongoing corruption.
