I’m still on a bit of a high for this. Bolts didn’t exist four and a half years ago, and now it’ll be in the canon of the Supreme Court — you don’t have to tell me what to think of SCOTUS, but it’s the cool feeling of how far you’ve come.
Israeli airstrikes on residential neighborhoods in south Lebanon have left several civilians dead and injured.
Preliminary toll:
• Harouf: 3 killed, 4 missing.
• Kfarsir: 3 killed from the same family.

Today I’m calling on Paxton to release the Hoffman Files.
The Epstein Class has no place in Texas.

❗SCOTUS ruled today a defendant can't just waive away their rights to an appeal if that'd be a miscarriage of justice.
Gorsuch wrote a concurrence saying: If we don't limit this, prosecutors will keep pushing their luck.
And he cited Bolts' article on waivers in Virginia to show how far they go:

Andy crushed it-- 25K vs. 15K for Reform vs. 3K for Even More Racist Reform. Feels like over 50%?

The death toll from today’s Israeli strikes has risen to 28, according to the National News Agency, with the strikes concentrated on villages in the Nabatieh district, including areas where residents had only recently returned over the past two days.

The State Department said the country had failed to address the president’s concerns about treatment of its white citizens.
Results being announced shortly in the #Makerfield by-election. Looks like Burnham has won, thank goodness. Hoping it's by a decent margin, if only to shut up the Reform morons....
