Democratic lawmakers announced that they are opening an investigation into the Iranian drone strike that killed six U.S. service members in Kuwait earlier this year, citing doubts over the objectivity of the military’s internal review of the attack.

Our fridge is 40+ years old. Still works great though we have to defrost it once a month. We are resisting having the landlord replace it because the upgrade is a smart fridge. No thank you. We’ll keep defrosting our old reliable manually, thanks.
Jon of The NorthI don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.

Today in the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is gonna force a vote on an amendment that would ban the IRS + Treasury Dept from entering into agreements that grant someone immunity from tax audits -- a perk Trump just got in a shady settlement with IRS, signed by Todd Blanche.

BTW don't ever forget everything goes back to John Roberts & rest of the Republican judges on current #SCOTUS. Trump currently wouldn't be able to treat blue states as if they are colonies for red state Republicans if not for the Roberts Court giving him immunity for his actions as POTUS.

James FallowsLet me tell you, having chronicled Pentagon-style war game on attacking Iran nearly 25 yr ago, every single "surprise," "darkening turn," "narrowing option," spreading warfare," "rising casualties," "no easy exit," etc that comes drip-by-drip is EXACTLY why GHWB WJC GWB OBAMA BiDEN did NOT do this

Probably the most difficult thing YIMBYs face -- really, anyone who lives in a city -- is that government-subsidized street parking is one of the single largest barriers to affordability, safe streets, and climate action. That's because drivers view it as an entitlement, like social security. 🧵

Epstein survivor on Trump's criminal lawyer Todd Blanche: "Yeah, I mean, he actually said the words 'get to the point' to us. We're survivors who've been waiting to meet with him for 9 months, 8 months. We've been asking for meetings, and he very much said, 'can you get to the point already?'"
