Tucker Carlson admits he sincerely believed he could stop the war with Iran, and what being wrong taught him. This is the rare moment Tucker turns the lens on himself: CARLSON: "It's good to be reminded of how absurd you are, and how powerless you are. "I've gone through periods where I'm like, I'm going to make a big difference. I'm going to stop the war with Iran, which I sincerely believed. I thought that I could do that. I don't know why I thought that. It's embarrassing in retrospect, but I really did think that. "I'm glad I have been shorn of that illusion because it's an illusion, it's absurd. I am one guy. And even if I were a million guys, it's still a lie to tell ourselves that we're in charge of history." "The theme I took away from reading them [the Old and New Testaments], in the Hebrew text and the Christian text, is: you are not God. Just remember that. It's really hard to remember that. It sounds easy, but it's been the thing I forget most often. "You really think you're in charge, but you're not."

DOJ has lost 15 of the 30 cases it filed to obtain state voter files. It has not won a single case. 6 of the defeats were before judges appointed by Trump. Elias Law Group moved to intervene to defend voters in all of these cases. We are undefeated. When we fight, we win!🗳️⚖️💪

🚨 BREAKING: Senate Democrats successfully block Republican effort to merge U.S. and Israeli militaries.

NEWS: Senate Democrats blocked a $1.15 trillion defense bill, saying they refuse to advance a massive Pentagon funding package after Trump launched the Iran war without congressional authorization. The procedural vote failed 50-46, short of the 60 votes needed.

BREAKING: U.S. Senate rejects advancing the National Defense Authorization Act by a 50 to 46 vote.

🚨 BREAKING: THE SENATE JUST BLOCKED THE TREASON In a razor thin 50-46 vote, the United States Senate FAILED to invoke cloture on S. 4784, the monstrous FY2027 NDAA that would have fused the U.S. military with Israel through Sections 219 and 1217. They didn’t get the 60 votes they needed. The full institutional merger. The Executive Agent inside the Pentagon, the tech sharing, the co-production, the AI, biotech, and supply chain lockdown got knocked on its ass for now. They know that we know that they know what we know and their knees are knocking. But don’t pop the champagne yet. Turncoat Republican Leader Thune immediately flipped his vote and filed a motion to reconsider. They’re coming right back. The Epstein class and their agents in Congress aren’t giving up this easily. This is their gateway to deeper entanglement, shielding endless aid from scrutiny, and locking America into one endless war machine. Call your Senators RIGHT NOW: (202) 224-3121 Tell them you’re watching. Tell them NO on any reconsideration. Tell them this isn’t an “alliance”this is surrender of American sovereignty. The Senate just bought us a little time… but the battle is far from over.

BREAKING: Senate Dems, under the leadership of Sen. @ChrisVanHollen & @SenSanders, unite to block the NDAA from moving forward because of its provisions to deepen US-Israeli military and intel relations. This is remarkable and further evidence the US is moving away from Israel.

Ossoff: "We understand the president may be threatening to declare sitting senators illegitimate. If that's the course of action he pursues, he's calling Georgia voters illegitimate ... he was humiliated and furious as a committed lifelong racist that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat"

E. Jean Carroll on Donald Trump: "I don't understand how people can be afraid of a fat elderly man who wears apricot makeup, his hair done up like Tippi Hedren in The Birds and sits in a court room and moans and groans and complains”

THE LABOR DEPARTMENT JUST DROPPED NEW WAGE DATA AND IT'S BRUTAL. Corporate profits up 47% since 2020. Worker wages up 12% in the same period. Meanwhile groceries up 35%, rent up 40%, utilities up 28%. Your paycheck grew 12%. Your bills grew 35%. The math is simple: you're getting poorer every year even when you get a raise. You can't budget your way out of this. The system is designed so your income can never catch up to your expenses. That's not an accident. That's policy.

Lindsey Graham's sister, Darline Graham, has now officially been sworn in to take her brother's place as a U.S. senator from South Carolina. She is expected to support Section 219, which would merge the United States military with the Israeli military.

FIFA to break football's laws by having half-time break at World Cup final of up to 30mins to accommodate glitzy Super Bowl-style show. ITV will cover half-time show in full and BBC expected to do so too. thetimes.com/sport/football…

Folarin Balogun on Donald Trump’s intervention in getting his World Cup ban suspended on @CBSMornings: “I knew it was gonna cause a lot of controversy. I could almost see within my teammates a bit of nerves… I tried to just focus as best as I could, but it was difficult with a lot of outside noise”

Judge Kathleen Williams didn't just reject Trump's $1.776 billion "slush fund" deal—she dismantled it, step by careful step. It's one of the most consequential opinions of the year, and every page matters. I break down why. open.substack.com/pub/joycevance…

Minority Leader Jeffries opposes the Massie-Khanna amendment to cut $3 billion of aid to Israel, but leaves members of his party to vote their conscience. My conscience is clear. I will vote against using American tax dollars to fund genocide.

Update from the reflecting pool! The pool has been drained, and there are no signs of the giant gash that Donald Trump has been lying about. No indications of major vandalism. Just a bad paint job. The only thing that’s been exposed is that Trump has been lying about this.

Three years ago I sued @PatrickByrne for lying about me. He claimed that I took a bribe and committed treason. He implied I was in some part responsible for the Hamas attack of October 7th. His lies caused real damage and endangered my family. On Friday I was awarded $1.7M in punitive damages by a Reagan-appointed federal judge. The court determined that everything he said about me was a complete fiction. For those of you who don’t know Patrick Byrne, he is the former Overstock CEO who lost control of his company when it became public he was sleeping with convicted Russian agent Maria Butina. He is the man who was in the Oval Office with Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell leading up to the January 6th insurrection. He is a clownish footnote in history. But his lies travel far and wide. He is a fraud who did the bidding of Donald Trump and Steve Bannon. This isn’t the first defamation case brought against Byrne, and it won’t be the last. Even after losing, he is still doing it. He continues to tell his audience he has “three dynamite voicemails” and a former federal agent whose testimony confirms his story. Byrne had three years to bring that evidence to court. He never produced it. The voicemails he did produce, the court found, “do not mention a bribe, implicate contemporaneous involvement in any illegal scheme by Plaintiff, or otherwise independently corroborate Defendant’s story.” The former federal agent Byrne relied on, John Moynihan, gave sworn testimony that contradicted him. The FBI agent Byrne claimed had backed him up denied it under oath. Those are not my findings. Those are the findings of a federal court. And nothing prevents Byrne from releasing the voicemails he keeps promising his audience. He never has, because the court has already listened to what he produced and found they prove nothing. Patrick will try not pay this judgment. He didn’t pay the $34,969 the court ordered six months ago either. His strategy is delay. Fire the lawyer. Skip the hearing. File nonsense with courts that have already ruled. Repeat the lie on Alex Jones while the clock runs. He is not a whistleblower or a spy. He is a man who got played by a Russian intelligence asset, lost his company over it, and has been performing a spy fantasy on the internet ever since. He is a coward who wouldn’t even show up in court to face me. He is hiding in Dubai, where he fled during my case to avoid being deposed, and told the court a story about a Venezuelan hit squad to explain it. He will run from this judgment the same way he ran from my trial. Fine. Every defamatory statement is a new lawsuit. I have as much time as he has words.
