All eyes are on the meeting between Trump and Netanyahu today, but I find it hard to believe that the war decision hasn't already been made. Looking at the size of the military buildup, it's hard to assume otherwise, even if Trump can be unpredictable.

The way SCOTUS is slow walking the tariffs opinion is embarrassing as hell. Not that the FedSoc YOLO-ists on the Court have any shame left to speak of though.
Still waiting with bated breath for the Supreme Court to decide whether this is just fine because we are functionally a monarchy now.
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

it's great that grand juries are stepping up but I also do not think you should be allowed to practice law after bringing a case like that
Breaking News: Prosecutors failed to secure an indictment against six Democrats who posted a video reminding members of the military to refuse illegal orders.

The rejection was a remarkable rebuke, suggesting that ordinary citizens did not believe that the lawmakers had committed any crimes.
