People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.
“U.S. military stockpiles of key weapons have been severely depleted, including Patriot and other air-defense platforms, as well as sophisticated offensive weapons like Tomahawk cruise missiles… …the U.S. has also lost roughly a quarter of its Reaper drones”
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2w agoExclusive: CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s trip to Moscow was preceded by fresh U.S. intelligence indicating that the Kremlin sees the U.S. as weakened by the Iran war, offering Russia an opportunity to escalate action against American interests in Europe.
I'm seeing some people ask why the Democratic Party and congressional leaders aren't doing more to challenge Trump's anti-voting executive order. They were literally the first to seek a new injunction after SCOTUS ruled. I know, because I am their lawyer. www.democracydocket.com/cases/trump-...

Norm Eisen of Democracy Defenders Fund: “Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule. Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it.”
Republicans could solve world hunger if they attacked food insecurity the way they attack voting rights.

ICE admitted in court that it did, in fact, track down this man at his hotel with his 7-year-old daughter and gave him a threatening letter because he sent ICE Director Todd Lyons this email.
When it comes to your children’s health, listen to doctors. Not a president who once told Americans to inject bleach. The American Academy of Pediatrics’ immunization recommendations have not changed.
FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.
The administration is currently floating the idea of knocking out energy targets in Iran, but to wrap the bombing up before the stock market opens on Monday. These are not serious people.
Running out of body bags, using forklifts to transfer corpses into makeshift morgues, a mortician conducting 200 funerals in a month when he usually does 30, crematories running at double capacity… And these senators just want to memory-hole it all www.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/n...

The GOP is desperately trying to rewrite history, but just a reminder that Donald Trump was president during the lockdowns, and he awarded Fauci a presidential commendation for his work on COVID. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Why bother calling your Senator and telling them to vote NO on Todd Blanche for Attorney General even though Trump will keep him in the job regardless? Because history should record the NO vote. You’ll want it on the record that we rejected him. That’s why.

Iran launched several attacks at multiple targets in different countries overnight. Someone should tell them their military is completely obliterated so they stop doing this.

NEW: Republican Thom Tillis says Todd Blanche has to meet with Epstein survivors before he'll vote to confirm Blanche. "This is a very important part of getting to yes. There should not be any reason why … if he said that he would do it today, then he can certainly do it over the next two weeks."
Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."
Judge Williams: "[T]his was an attempt to use the Court to provide some legitimacy to an agreement to confer immunity to people and entities affiliated with the President and to earmark billions of dollars from American taxpayers to redress grievances not defined in the law."
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe ruling from U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams amounts to a stinging rebuke of Trump's lawsuit — characterizing it as an exercise in self-dealing in which he sued an entity that is effectively under his control.
