The perpetrators must be held accountable. Trump and MAGA Republicans must lower the temperature and unequivocally reject this kind of behavior. Political violence should always be condemned. (2/2)

Yesterday’s attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar, following last week’s attack on Rep. Maxwell Frost, is deeply disturbing. Grateful that both Members are safe, but violence like this is unacceptable. (1/2)

"The Federal Government may neither issue directives requiring the States to address particular problems, nor command the States' officers, or those of their political subdivisions, to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program."
In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.

The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

"First Draft: Noem Knifes Miller"

The Oval Office becomes a circular firing squad, Trump goes after the 2nd Amendment, and a man attacks Ilhan Omar.

Kristi Noem has got to go. 

Weeks ago, I called on her to resign. And I’m an original co-sponsor of a resolution calling for her impeachment. Step down or get impeached—one way or another, we’re getting Kristi Noem out. Her cruelty must end.

Trump threatened to hurt even more Americans if he doesn't get his way with Greenland.

Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

Trump seems to be threatening to NATO because he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize (which he misspells). Of a piece with reports that he refuses to back Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corinna Machado because she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize he wanted.
Trump: "I single-handedly ENDED 8 WARS, and Norway, a NATO Member, foolishly chose not to give me the Noble Peace Prize. But that doesn’t matter! What does matter is that I saved Millions of Lives ... I DOUBT NATO WOULD BE THERE FOR US IF WE REALLY NEEDED THEM."

CBS News laid off 100 people to fund Bari Weiss’s armed-guard, private-jet tour of American cities. I was once moderately optimistic that I could keep finding valuable CBS content, but no more. John Dickerson is gone; Margaret Brennan should go. Removing CBS from the dial, sadly.
