I wrote on Trump's delusional Saudi nuclear deal, the unfolding nuclear proliferation nightmare that everyone predicted, and how progressives can meet a moment that everyone else seems intent on ducking.

Trump’s proposed Saudi nuclear deal is both a nuclear proliferation risk and a self-enrichment scheme for the Trump family. Congress should reject it, argues @samratner of @winwithoutwar

I think some Dems in Congress misunderstand how angry the grassroots is about Trump's wars, corruption, and attacks on democracy, all of which Gray supported by supporting the NDAA.

It's crazy that this needs saying in 2026, but voters want you to fight Trump, not enable him.

Scoop: MoveOn cancels plans to endorse Rep. Adam Gray, D-Calif., citing his vote to help pass the NDAA, to which House GOP leaders attached the SAVE act. Six Dems voted for it. MoveOn endorsed Gray in 2024, when he was first elected. nbcnews.com/politics/trump…

@EbrightYon with typically smart analysis of today's historic WPR vote
Katherine Yon Ebright @EbrightYon Jun 23
Congress has never before passed a War Powers Resolution concurrent resolution to terminate hostilities. The Iran WPR is the first.

Premature to say the vote is purely symbolic. The WPR (a law) establishes the concurrent resolution mechanism and purports to give it legal effect.
