Trump Probably Won’t Get To Be A King After All
In short, this provision would allow Trump to serve as a king, free to ignore the courts amid his lawlessness. With Democrats united against this provision and Republicans only holding 53 votes, it’s almost certainly coming out of the bill. The Byrd Rule is the Senate rule that requires that any bill being advanced through the budget reconciliation process be only related to budget matters. It won’t be clear what Thune’s next step is until the bill hits the Senate floor. “But Senate Democrats stopped them cold,” he said.

Democrats Call For Congressional Vote On Trump's 'Illegal' War Against Iran
The Trump administration briefed top Republicans before the Iran strikes, but not Democrats. AdvertisementOnly one Democrat ― Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania ― openly praised Trump’s military strikes against Iran, calling it the “correct” decision. “I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world.”Meanwhile, Republicans almost unanimously praised and defended Trump’s military strikes against Iran. Advertisement“While President Trump’s decision may prove just, it’s hard to conceive a rationale that’s Constitutional,” added Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio). Vice President JD Vance also disputed the notion that the U.S. is at war with Iran despite launching unilateral military strikes against the country.

U.S. B-2 Bombers Move To Guam As Middle East Tensions Grow: Officials
LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON, June 21 (Reuters) - The United States is moving B-2 bombers to the Pacific island of Guam, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Saturday, as President Donald Trump weighs whether the United States should take part in Israel’s strikes against Iran. It was unclear whether the bomber deployment is tied to Middle East tensions. That is the weapon that experts say could be used to strike Iran’s nuclear program, including Fordow. This infographic shows the "bunker buster" bombs that experts say could be used for strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. They did not say how many B-2 bombers are being moved.

Proud Boys Say Trump Will Lose Their Support If He Goes To War With Iran
LOADING ERROR LOADINGTurns out, there’s a line the Proud Boys say they won’t cross for President Donald Trump. “If the United States gets directly involved in the Israel-Iran conflict, the voters that voted for Trump because there was a hope that Trump was America First can no longer support Trump,” the Proud Boys account posted to Telegram on Wednesday. AdvertisementHistorically, the Proud Boys have been among some of Trump’s most fervent supporters. Trump instead told Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.”Trump’s hawkish stance toward Iran has opened a schism among some conservatives. Support HuffPost Already contributed?

No, You Never Saw Colin Firth's Darcy Leave The Pond – And 7 Other Mandela Effect Misremembrances
Researching common Mandela effects – a name given to what seem to be collective memories or inaccurate happenings, like a common misconception that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the ’80s – I found Colin Firth’s Darcy implicated. His character, famous for THAT pond scene, never actually emerges, sodden-shirted, from the pool on-screen, the researchers wrote. 4) Walkers’ Salt & Vinegar packets never changed colour38% of people asked were convinced that the crisp packet used to be blue, but then changed to green. Still, more of us (39%) had the right answer: it was always green, though Lays salt and vinegar (the American branch) is blue.

GOP Bill Would Kill A 33-Year-Old Program That Helps Those On Food Stamps
People shop for food at a store in New York City that advertises that it accepts SNAP benefits, also known as food stamps. AdvertisementThough news of the program’s potential elimination has been largely overlooked due to the billions in cuts proposed to the entire SNAP program, McCartney said it will have sweeping effects. AdvertisementRepublicans have pushed for massive cuts to the overall SNAP program by arguing that its expenses have unjustifiably ballooned in recent years, despite enrollment only minimally rising. Colorado State University Extension teacher Jackie Lopez, right, shows students how to make a fruit salad during a SNAP-Ed food nutrition class in Denver, Colorado, in 2014. It assists far fewer people than the SNAP-Ed program, according to figures posted online.

My 94-Year-Old Father Dropped A Bomb During A Zoom Call. The Explosion Changed Everything.
“Yes, they had been searching for me — well, not for me at that point, but for their father,” he said. Though my relationship with my father was complicated and tenuous, I loved my father. They invited me to join an upcoming Zoom call with my father, where they intended to ask him more about himself. My half-sister’s love for him, untainted by the past, coupled with my openness to his overture of amends, was a lifeline for him. His loving family — including my brother, two of my new half-sisters and two of my new half-brothers — gathered at his bedside.

Appeals Court Lets Trump Keep Control Of National Guard Troops Deployed To LA During Protests
LOADING ERROR LOADINGLOS ANGELES (AP) — An appeals court on Thursday allowed President Donald Trump to keep control of National Guard troops he deployed to Los Angeles following protests over immigration raids. AdvertisementThe deployment was the first by a president of a state National Guard without the governor’s permission since 1965. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously concluded it was likely Trump lawfully exercised his authority in federalizing control of the guard. “The court rightly rejected Trump’s claim that he can do whatever he wants with the National Guard and not have to explain himself to a court,” Newsom said. The ruling means control of the California National Guard will stay in federal hands as the lawsuit continues to unfold.

Trump Has A New Plan To Get Women To Have More Babies. What Could Go Wrong?
The Trump administration has floated several ideas in order to increase the birth rate in the U.S., but their premise is flawed. Those without health care coverage, and possibly even those with it, are only one accident or unfortunate circumstance away from bankruptcy. The Trump administration suggests that individuals who need help are lazy; that they must earn their keep. The underlying assumption these countries and the Trump administration make is that individuals — both women and men — inherently want children. AdvertisementIf the Trump administration truly wants women to have children, it should support them in real and practical ways.

Trump Rages At Reporter Who Refuses To Stick To ‘Positive’ Questions
LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump on Wednesday once again ripped a reporter to their face, this time after they dared to bring into question the idea that his supporters are completely and utterly behind every move he makes. Trump was taking questions during the unveiling of new flag poles outside the White House when CNN White House correspondent Alayna Treene asked him about the split in MAGA ranks over his increasingly hawkish backing of Israel in its war with Iran. AdvertisementTreene began by noting, “Mr. President, some of your supporters are splitting on the US response to…,” before Trump cut in and deployed his usual tactic of demanding to know, “Who are you with?”When Treene said CNN, Trump scoffed, called the network “fake news” and claimed that, “Fortunately nobody watches.”Treene tried to repeat the question but Trump again interrupted and asked: “Is anybody watching CNN nowadays? My supporters are more in love with me today, and I’m in love with them, more than they were even at election time.”Watch from the 37-minute mark here:

Karen Read not guilty of second-degree murder in the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend
ReplyThreadLinklol it's truly wild to see Boston, of all places, turn on a bunch of white cops, but hey, gotta start somewhere. They're hated in the state so the intense attention and belief that they were involved all makes sense to me. ReplyParentThreadLinkBetween accusing Karen and Sandra Birchmore’s abuse and murder, the corruption is staggering. I just looked at my TV finally and it said "not guilty" I literally yelled: "Not guilty!?!?" ReplyParentThreadLinkFor some reason I keep thinking Karen Read and Erin Patterson aka the mushroom murders lady are the same person lol.
