9th Circuit rules Trump illegally federalized National Guard in LA last year. Decision has little immediate effect, but sets potentially important precedent on judicial review of executive invocation of emergency powers for domestic use of military, and on the meaning of “rebellion.”

The White House is rolling back some tariffs on imports from Canada -- and hiking tariffs on other products -- ostensibly to help Republican candidates in key races.
But this doesn't make much sense. It's really just an admission that the tariffs are so politically toxic.

GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell is threatening to block Trump’s legislative agenda unless he stops bending the knee to Putin.
“Passing this agenda will require working with Republicans who know the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. Ending the obeisance to Mr. Putin may be table stakes for the end-of-year legislation. The president should plan accordingly,” McConnell wrote in The Wall Street Journal.”

Le Pen is not Meloni. France is not Italy
Those drawing simplistic parallels risk underestimating how disruptive a Le Pen presidency would be — for France, the EU, and wider geopolitics

New ad from Democrats' House Majority PAC hitting Republican Eric Flores in #TX34:
"When one of our own like Eric Flores sells out, supporting ICE raids that separate families ... well, that pisses us off. Eric Flores forgot who he is and where he comes from. We don't forget."

Peace through strength is more than a principle. It is a responsibility—and one that demands action.
The Treasury Department’s decision to allow Russian diesel imports undermines the bipartisan law Congress enacted in 2022 to cut off funding for Putin’s war machine.
Today, alongside @RepDonBacon and @RepMGP, I introduced the Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act to nullify that waiver, enforce the existing ban, and safeguard critical U.S. intelligence support for Ukraine.
Not a single drop of Russian oil should enter the United States while Putin continues his brutal war against Ukraine. We cannot stand with Ukraine while opening our markets to the energy revenues fueling Russia’s aggression.
Our message must be unmistakable: America stands with Ukraine. Our laws must be upheld. And aggression must carry a cost greater than its reward.

"I got papers right here!" man pleads.
Slam him against wooden fence as he screams in pain.
Agent tells man filming free to leave—because he's white.
"He said because I'm white he's not going to arrest me" man holding camera says.
"Just for the color of my skin... even though I'm Mexican, too."
Agents claim they tackled the man because he started running—with no other probable cause.
Incident occurred in Chicago, Illinois.
