I’ll save you some time on the Iran address: • It’s Biden’s fault • 48 hours • Two weeks • Some incoherent gibberish • We’ve won • We are way ahead of schedule • It’s a little excursion • We have obliterated them • We’ve knocked out all their ships • I could open up the Strait of Hormuz • Go get your own oil • They gave us a present • NATO are cowards • Something about Nuclear weapons • Allies are useless • We need allies • Nobody’s ever seen anything like it • Fake news • DEMOCRATS • Obama • More gibberish • I know more than the generals • Greatest foreign policy ever Am I missing anything?

Most Americans still haven't realized how the Trump administration has defunded every aspect of criminal law enforcement -- anti-terrorism, drugs, fraud, organized crime, human trafficking, etc. -- to go after immigrants with no criminal records.
ProPublica@propublica

New: Under AG Pam Bondi, the DOJ has dropped 23,000 criminal cases — including hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime and drugs — while prosecuting 32,000 new immigration cases in just the first six months of Trump’s second term. propub.li/4m4Vzmf

Thomas Massie is sounding the alarm. Congress is about to pass a liability shield for Bayer — a foreign corporation — that would strip Americans of the right to sue when glyphosate gives them cancer. Massie: “This is not to grant farmers immunity. This is to grant corporations immunity. If you contract non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma from this chemical — you won’t be able to sue.” Bayer has already paid billions settling cancer lawsuits. This bill ends future lawsuits permanently. RFK Jr. built his brand on MAHA. Trump is urging Republicans to pass it anyway.

Just a reminder that the senator who sponsored the bill which became law with broad bipartisan support that states a president cannot pull the US out of NATO without congressional approval was … Marco Rubio.
Acyn@Acyn

Rubio: If now we've reached a point where the NATO alliance means that we can't use those bases to defend America's interests, then NATO is a one-way street…then why are we NATO? We’re going to have to reexamine that relationship. That’s a decision for the president.

Perhaps my favorite Supreme Court exchange in recent memory: Solicitor general: “It’s a new world." John Roberts: "It's a new world. It's the same Constitution." Into my veins 😌

The inside of an LNG carrier: 1.2mm of stainless steel between 174,000 cubic meters of liquid cooled to -162°C and the ocean. At that temperature, flat steel contracts hard enough to crack its own welds within minutes. The waffle pattern stamped into each panel gives the metal room to shrink in every direction without tearing apart. A French company designed this system. It is installed in 80% of the world's LNG fleet, with over 300 new carriers under construction. Every one of them relies on a sheet of steel thinner than a car key, folded into the right shape.

The IRS just contracted Palantir to build an AI‑driven audit‑selection tool. It's already in it's pilot program & will use AI to rank “high‑value” audit targets. The Trump administration has officially merged tax enforcement with the national security state. AI = IRS Gestapo.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents, working with state police, pulled over a vehicle, in Ogden, Utah… and smashed their car window because he wouldn’t roll it down all the way. Watch the shift… because this is where it goes from aggressive to completely out of control. The driver already has the window partially open. The ICE agent is yelling, giving a countdown, threatening to break the window… while another officer is trying to open the door from the other side. No explanation, or clear threat… Just escalation. Then, someone inside says, “I’m a U.S. citizen… you pointed a gun at me.” And that’s the moment everything changes. Instead of pulling back… instead of correcting… instead of even acknowledging it… The ICE agent snaps. “I don’t give a shit who you are, I don’t know you.” And then he immediately escalates further… raises the metal bar… and starts hitting the window… doubling down on force. A person says you pointed a gun at them… and your response is not to de-escalate… It’s to get MORE aggressive. That’s retaliation. They call them “non-compliant”… and within seconds, the window is smashed and the driver is dragged out. And it doesn’t stop there. The passenger… who is recording… gets told to “stay there” while the officer puts his hand on his gun. He responds, “I’m recording for my safety.” The officer shuts the door on him anyway. When he opens it again and steps out… and then the officer physically shoves him back into the car. This is what needs to be understood… The escalation didn’t come from a threat. It came the second someone spoke up… the second someone said, “you pointed a gun at me”… The second someone started documenting it. That’s when it got worse. That’s when it turned physical. That’s when the window broke. And that’s what should alarm people… because that’s not about safety anymore. That’s about being challenged… and responding with more force.
