Speaker Johnson deserves a lot of credit for getting this done with such a slim margin and a handful of recalcitrant republicans.
I used to read thrillers and kind of kept up with new offerings from Daniel Silva, Lee Child, Michael Connelly and John Sandford to name a few, but it seemed like they all succumbed to TDS, some worse than others.
That turned me off anything new as I'm well aware of how woke anything needs to be to get published nowadays. The last few years I turned to reading some fantasy. I read the Witcher series and I'm now making my way (slowly) through Sanderson's Stormlight Archive series.
I do sprinkle in some historical non-fiction. I'm not a fan of modern political books because everything seems dated and old news by time it's published. Anybody that reads this place keeps up with the news better than most people.
Sounds like the shooter is dead.
Senator Mark Warner, who is on the Senate Intel Committee, has been a source for Bertrand in the past (during Russiagate).

Not sure I'd ever want an EV but that is pretty cool. The self driving technology seems to be escalating rapidly.
For Supreme Court speak, that's quite the smackdown, one backed up by 6 Justices. They know she's a DEI hire and don't respect her opinions.
Wonder if it was a leak trap?
🤣 The Judge in the case ignored the Supreme Court ruling and denied a motion to enforce their ruling. He actually cited the dissent, lol.
It wasn't even necessarily trusting the plan (though I agree), it was trusting that Trump knows what he is doing. I think he's earned that trust from his base by now.
The Panicans really look dumb right about now.
They thought Trump was dragging us into war with Iran, but instead he ended the war with Iran.
WWIII was a short one!
Why does Massie want to declare war so badly?
Edited to add, especially since Trump just announced a cease fire between Israel and Iran, lol.
I like how Ezra Cohen put it, Trump is using limited escalation to create off-ramps and deescalate.
It seems like a negotiated response on a vacant military base. Basically for show to save face.
Footage of Qatari Air Defenses engaging Iranian ballistic missiles over Doha.
They basically say what's within the Senate's rules and allowed or not allowed. the problem is this one is a democrat partisan.
As president of the Senate, JD Vance can overrule the Senate Parliamentarian. It hasn't happened since the 1970's, but who cares.
He was at war with Libya for 9 months, after Gadaffi gave up his nukes.
I saw the same earlier on X but it worked in the Pride flag.
Haha, Iran did say they’re going to pursue legal action against the U.S. judge Boasberg can hardly contain himself.
Does it though?
Prosecute them for what?
Maybe it’s time for the Mullahs to be toppled and the people of Iran freed? That’s what I sense happening.
I disagree. This was always the timeline for it to be passed and reconciliation was the only way to get this through the Senate without needing 60 votes.
