Scoop: TPM obtained a letter Sen. Fetterman wrote to Israel President Herzog lobbying for a pardon for Netanyahu. In an interview today, he told me the trial is a "pointless distraction.""I fully support it and I stand on the letter," he said. From me & @joshkovensky.bsky.social ⬇️

RESIGN.
Significant statement from Jeffries and House Democratic leaders saying they will vote “present” on the motion to table Al Green’s resolution to impeach President Trump. They say they’re “laser-focused on fighting to lower the high cost of living” plus on health care and corruption.

Judge Breyer blocks Trump from deploying the CA National Guard, returning control to Gavin Newsom. He also quotes Marty Lederman in his determination that "regular forces" means the military. The Supreme Court will rule on that definition soon. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/judge-dism...
Judge Dismantles Trump's Legal Argument for Deploying the National Guard
The government says 10 U.S.C. § 12406 gives the president the unreviewable, plenary power to deploy the National Guard. Judge Breyer says no. The Supreme Court will soon decide the same question.

842,000 Americans died from overdoses in the last 25 years, 500,000 from opioids. If we’re hunting narco-terrorists we can probably stop blowing up fishing boats and start blowing up boardrooms.

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

In Massachusetts and across the country, the Trump admin is turning the pursuit of the American Dream into an American Nightmare. This is wrong, this is immoral, and this is exactly why we must continue to fight back against Trump’s racist anti-immigrant agenda.
