Guess who did know… Did you guess Obama? Did you guess Biden?
“The plan, apparently backed by the Biden administration and involving US oil giant Chevron would in effect seal Palestinian energy dependence on Israel.
The US approach is consistent with a strategic framework described in a December 2014 report published under the Obama administration by the US Army War College’s Strategic Studies Institute.”

#Republicans in the #House hearing are mostly ignoring the #Signal chat. Rep #DanCrenshaw, Republican of Texas, was one of the few to even bring it up.
“I will note I always use fire emojis when I see terrorists getting killed,” he said.

Besides being a #drunk #rapist, #Trump #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth is a total idiot, on full display in this video.
Aside, note the general he names behind him, immediately turns because he doesn’t want to associated w/this jackass.

"Public schools have always been the epicenter of the right-wing culture war since the Supreme Court ruled segregation was unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education. Abortion, feminism, and LGBTQ+ rights were eventually added to the never-ending list of right-wing grievances."

Make American Kids Dumb and Segregated Again
The Trump Administration's attack on the Department of Education and college universities is the culmination of a decades-long plan to restore white supremacy, undo progress, and profit off our kids.THE LEFT HOOK with Wajahat Ali (The Left Hook with Wajahat Ali)
Sen #DickDurbin, a #Democrat, & Sen #LindseyGraham, a #Republican, plan to introduce a bill that would set an expiration date of Jan 1, 2027, for #Section230, acc/to a congressional aide familiar…. The senators have wide support from their respective parties: #Republicans #JoshHawley & #MarshaBlackburn & #Democrats #SheldonWhitehouse & #AmyKlobuchar have agreed to co-sponsor the bill. 2 more Dems, #RichardBlumenthal & #PeterWelch, have discussed cosponsoring.
"What’s clear is that autocrats everywhere are becoming more emboldened because they know that they will encounter no real consequences from the Trump-Musk administration for their aggressions. They know that the #UnitedStates government is trying to destroy #democracy at home and around the #world."👀 😢

The potential to more than double the scope of #Trump’s #tariffs has alarmed economists & some congressional #Republicans, while other WH allies are concerned about the logistical challenges of a complicated new #import #tax regime. The precise nature of these new duties has spurred extensive discussions at the highest levels of the admin, w/VP #JDVance, #Commerce Secy #HowardLutnick, WH aide #PeterNavarro & #Treasury Secy #ScottBessent all playing a role in the talks….
Some #Republicans have accused #VOA & other publicly-funded #media outlets of being biased against *conservatives* [liars, criminals & extremists]. Last month, billionaire #ElonMusk, who is spearheading #Trump's government *downsizing* [destruction] effort, called for VOA & #RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty to be shut down in a post to social media.

#Republicans have also moved to #impeach federal judges Paul Engelmayer, John McConnell Jr., John Bates & Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali — all for ruling in some way against #Trump.

Yesterday, a #Republican state lawmaker in #Minnesota named #JustinEichorn introduced a new bill he coauthored to legally define "Trump Derangement Syndrome" as a "mental illness" in the state.
Later in the day, he was arrested. For what, you ask?

#Trump to sign #ExecutiveOrder Thurs closing #Education Dept.
Trump to issue an EO Thurs directing his newly confirmed education secy to close the dept she now leads, 2 people familiar said.
A draft of the executive order that circulated on Wed recognizes that Trump does not have the #power to shutter the Education Dept. It would take an act of #Congress & 60 yes votes in the #Senate, which is unlikely given #Republicans hold only 53 seats.
Republican #House Speaker #MikeJohnson urged fellow Republican lawmakers on Tues to avoid #public #TownHall meetings with #voters after some events turned into angry confrontations over #Trump's moves to fire #FederalWorkers & defund government programs.
