Our servicemember on the ground in Iran is still unaccounted for—more than 24 hours after being shot down.
Trump and Hegseth are notably and unusually quiet.
And Congress is on vacation.

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator.

Garcia: Blanche just said that the Epstein investigation is basically in the past, that he’s not going to address it moving forward, and that all the documents were released. I mean, that’s just a bold-faced lie.

A new state law banning cellphones was opposed by students and parents.
Now, six months in, there's a bright spot even the critics think is pretty cool.

A woman is dead in Minneapolis after ICE agents opened fire.
I don’t need to be a use-of-force expert to say this plainly: she did not need to be shot.
And no fair investigation is coming from the same system that wanted this confrontation in the first place.

This is the kind of response I want from the Democrats.
AOC: “ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S. — yet are some of the most well funded, operating with impunity & we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood — I hope this is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The agency must be reined in”

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

I do absolutely adore Mister Wilfred.
Do adopt older cats.
They're often left alone in the shelters. They don't understand why their previous people couldn't stay with them. And then they're alone in a place full of noise and other cats.
Yet they make the best pets when you adopt them.
