#US is helping #Israel intercept #Iran missiles

The US official did not say how the US provided assistance, however both US Air Force fighter aircraft & destroyer-based missile defenses have intercepted missiles in previous attacks.

The US has been moving assets nearer to Israel to assist in missile intercepts and to provide better protection of US bases in the region.

This is something I've *definitely* noticed that the right no longer understands.

Classic mistake: those around Trump and those who vote for him think they can do anything and face no accountability. His lawyers all get disbarred, and his voters who commit sexual assault go to prison like he doesn't.

He's the cult leader. He's the one who can shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue. Nobody else. Even Elon can't replicate that with all his billions. Unlike Trump himself, when Trumpers crime they face consequences.

Kristi Noem will too. #ETTD

Well that’s something anyway

#Senate #Republicans quietly stripped the provision from the #House #GOP's "big, beautiful bill" that would have allowed #Trump to circumvent the #courts & essentially serve as a #king.

I am working on an app to connect people with lawyers in emergency situations (ICE raids, police encounters, protests). Looking for a Flutter developer and someone with legal background (lawyer, paralegal, legal aid experience) who want to help build something that could literally save lives and protect rights. DM me if interested.

Boost for reach.

#nokings #law #lawyers

…legal experts say the order exceeds #Trump’s power because the Constitution gives states the authority to set the “times, places & manner” of #elections, with #Congress allowed to set rules for elections to federal office. As Friday’s ruling states, the #Constitution makes no provision for presidents to set the rules for elections.

There's no sane world in which Rep. McIver committed felonies during her altercation with ICE.

But I do have my preference.

@GoatRoper @unruly

the problem is, since we're not a parliamentary system nor do we have ranked choice voting, what you're suggesting just divides the left and MAGA wins more

so we are stuck with the need to treat the democratic party as an empty vessel and take it over

third parties are not the way as a matter of what is functionally possible

“According to two defense officials familiar with the initial assessments of the Israeli attacks in Iran, there is increasing likelihood that Israel succeeded in killing Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, the chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, along with several senior commanders of the Revolutionary Guards and leading scientists involved in the country’s nuclear program.”
