Autopen..

A former top aide to President Joe Biden said she was authorized to direct autopen signatures but was unaware of who in the president's inner circle was giving her final clearance, according to a source familiar with the aide's closed-door testimony in front of Congress Tuesday.

Neera Tanden, the former director of Biden's Domestic Policy Council, testified for hours Tuesday during an interview in front of the House Oversight Committee, which is investigating the former president's mental acuity and his use of an automatic signature tool that allowed aides to sign pardons, memos and other important documents on Biden's behalf.

Tanden's interview before Congress lasted more than five hours.

Just a "forgetful" thought.

Struck Down..

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed Friday with a San Diego federal judge who found that California's law that barred buying more than one gun per month was unconstitutional.  

The law, which was struck down by U.S. District Judge William Hayes in March of last year, was intended to cut down on what's known as straw purchases, in which someone legally buys a gun, then gives it to someone else who is prohibited from possessing a firearm.

Both Hayes and a 9th Circuit panel agreed, with their findings applying the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen, which holds that gun laws should be consistent with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulations.

Ceasefire .

President Donald Trump said on social media Monday that a ceasefire deal has been reached between Israel and Iran, just after Iran launched a missile attack on a U.S. military base in Qatar.

Neither Israel or Iran have confirmed if they have agreed to the ceasefire deal.
The president’s post was written hours after Iran launched the missiles, that targeted the Al Udeid Air Base, in retaliation for the American bombing of Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend. 

The president said in the post that the ceasefire would take place just after midnight U.S. eastern time Tuesday, followed by the official end of the war, 12 hours later.

The war began on June 13 when Israel launched a series of attacks on Iran’s nuclear and military facilities.

Notice..

 President Trump said Monday the Iranian government offered "early notice" about a series of missile strikes that targeted the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, downplaying Iran's response to the U.S. bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend as "very weak."

"I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured," Mr. Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

Just a thought.
