Dan Bishop Is on the Case New reporting out this morning from the WSJ adds to the emerging picture of how the revisionist history of Trump’s 2020 election loss is merging with the effort to exert more federal control over the midterm elections. Let me dive right into what is new and then unpack this…

“We are on hold because of the politically motivated lawsuits and court filings,” Bianco said in a statement, according to ABC 10 News.
Translation - “We are on hold because we don’t know what we’re doing. And anything we have looked at proves us wrong anyway.”

Washington state, which doesn’t have a traditional personal income tax, has enacted a new 9.9% tax on income over $1 million to fund child care programs, free school meals, tax credits for working families, and tax breaks for small businesses.
Good for them - great news.

TFG says “we don’t need that oil, it’s everyone else’s problem.” Uh huh. And how much will the US crude be selling for here. You know, that only covers 60% of what we need?

Italy denies use of Sicily airbase to US aircraft carrying weapons for Iran war
Angela Giuffrida
Italy has denied use of an airbase in Sicily to US military craft carrying weapons for the war in the Middle East.
A source at the Italian defence ministry confirmed a report in Corriere della Sera that “some US bombers” had been due to land at Sigonella – a key US navy installation and Nato base – before heading to the Middle East.
According to treaties signed in the late 1950s, the US navy can use the base for logistical and training purposes but not as a transit hub for aircraft used to transport weapons for war unless in an emergency situation, permission for which needs to be approved in parliament.

I’m pretty sure your military will not back down if TCF says, “ do harm “. You know he will when the going gets tough.

But the US didn’t follow normal procedures to land. That’s because no one knows what they are doing. The US thinks sovereignty is just a myth.

Minnesota ICE Surge, by the numbers, from MPR:
Burying the lede:
Some of those arrested with criminal histories or pending criminal charges were taken directly from jails, rather than through targeted enforcement actions, according to the data.
In other words, they would have been turned over to ICE upon release at the end of their sentences anyway.

It turns out that we didn’t bomb just one girl’s school but two. But what is really making me lose faith in this country is this.
“Our U.S. Army soldiers are defending ourselves and our partners and in an historic first, the U.S. Army fired long range Precision Strike Missiles, called PrSMs, in combat, providing an unrivaled deep strike capability,” Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of USCENTCOM said in a press announcement.
“Defending ourselves” against schoolgirls in a surprise attack, yep that is what brave warfighters do. I guess Admiral Cooper was appointed to CentCom because is a mendacious, bloodthirsty psycho just like Hegseth. But it is those Iranian leaders that are evil.

Spanish defence minister asserts Spain’s right to deny US use of bases for Iran strikes
Stephen Burgen
Margarita Robles, the Spanish defence minister, has reiterated her country’s commitment to Nato and unilateralism saying that the US and Israel “can’t be the ones who, without anyone’s support, not even of their allies, decide what type of rules or peace apply in the world”.
…
Spain feels no obligation to join an illegal war whose objectives, 30 days into the conflict, have yet to be defined, she said.
“No one knows what will happen with this war,” Robles said.
“Two countries went to war and expected us to join them,” adding that “we don’t accept lectures from anyone in regard to our commitment to peace”.

That Bishop needs a flogging!
This made me laugh. She doesn’t realize there’s only one person Trump grovels to. It makes him mad, so he lashes out at everyone else. Just perfect presidential temperament.
