Read my full statement on the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites below.

“It is Congress’ Constitutional responsibility to debate and approve any use of military force. This is why I called on Speaker Johnson last week to reconvene the U.S. House of Representatives, and I am calling on him once again to call us back into session now. Members must be briefed immediately on the evolving situation in the Middle East so we can fulfill our Constitutional responsibilities.”

DOGE is cutting the jobs of federal employees who perform vital services, including those who had previously received glowing performance reviews. Meanwhile, "Signalgate" shows the level of incompetence you can get away with at the highest levels of Trump's regime. Hello?

Looks like ten new DC Finest volumes today, ranging from Golden Age to Silver, Bronze, post-Crisis and beyond, with some interesting choices in there.

And hey, that STATIC volume has an issue by me in it. I *am* the Finest! Or among them, at least.

Cover to DC FINEST: WAR - THE BIG FIVE ARRIVE

Cover to DC FINEST: THE SPECTRE - THE WRATH OF THE SPECTRE

Cover to DC FINEST: HORROR - THE DEVIL'S DOORWAY

Cover to DC FINEST: STATIC - PLAYING WITH FIRE

I was going through my comics and ran across these 4 cool Parrilo covers. I had forgotten that there were New Universe backup stories in the last issues of Amazing Fantasy.

I got a couple of comics in the mail today. I have always been a big Avengers fan. Slowly working on completing a run of Avengers from 100-200 in 9.4 or better condition.
