ICE has more money than the USMC. Meanwhile, social safety nets are slashed. There are limitless $$ for unnecessary wars, favored dictators & “Board of Peace” & crypto scams. Our debt (~$39T) is so preposterous as to be make-believe. None of it makes sense. What is the hidden part?

i wonder what they have on him

Trump may think our troops are expendable or "suckers" but a single life lost in pursuit of a war of choice with no strategic purpose is a moral outrage.

Schumer and Jeffries might be what makes me walk-away from the Democratic party. I’ll still vote against what Trump/MAGA/GOP candidate is running because I have no choice, but my will to actively participate, along with my monetary donations to them, is in serious doubt right now.

Chuck Schumer is being absolutely derelict in his role because he WANTED an attack on Iran, because that’s what Israel wanted. Watch him carefully. He will focus on the fact that there strikes weren’t Congressional approved. He won’t have shit to say about the strikes being IMMORAL!

So, there was no national security threat. No need to bypass the Constitution. Trump could have sought the approval of Congress. x.com/redcollectiv...

They abandoned the Constitution, good faith, and truth ages ago. That tribe's response to this grotesque fact ranged from "eh, no biggie" to "suck it libtards!"

This is a view of the AI future Anthropic chose, at considerable expense, to not be part of. youtu.be/M7mIX_0VK4g?...

Trump said the main concern of his war on Iran is “freedom” for the Iranian people.” Just as in 1953 when a USA-led coup allowed us to install the shah. It was about Iran’s freedom, not its oil. That was just a side benefit for us. wapo.st/3MXtFLH

Let me see if I've got this right: DoD shoots down an unidentified drone...which turns out to be a DHS UAV. (1st friendly fire incident in US airspace?) Catching the FAA by surprise and prompting them to close the airspace. Incredible interagency coordination. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/u...

“The servicemembers conferred, and decided the object could pose a threat to their position.” So, is the suggestion here that U.S. troops shot down an unidentified aircraft in U.S. airspace on the basis of “unit self defense?” Who specifically authorized this action? www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

SHORT ANSWER: “No.”

You only want to trust the polls that bring in good numbers. Right? Why do polls if they‘re only going to bum you out? What does a president for life care about pole numbers anyway?

New in PN: Trump is about to start a war he hasn't bothered to explain "He’s about to write a new chapter in the ignominious history of presidents thinking they impose their will by dropping bombs on foreign countries, yet he himself doesn’t seem to know why, let alone how it’s supposed to end."

There is no union. We are not United States.

This seems important www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Trump‘s “Board of Peace” is not the joke it appears to be. x.com/charise_lee/...

Wut?

Democrats should run this year on returning tariff revenue to Americans. Trump already said today he’s going to fight this in the courts. An easy mode way to be on the right side of the affordability issue.

The message from the DOJ is unmistakable: Justice is no longer the objective. Retribution is.

Warnock continued, “The folks who are so quick to use his name are some of the meanest people I know, and they support some of the meanest policies I know.”

This is pure fiction. Does this Navarro guy actually know how anything works? Cause and effect are not always always what they appear to be.

Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

Ossoff: "If you live in a major democracy, and the nation's spy chief is showing up at raids on sensitive election sites, something has gone wrong."

The talking-point guidance Barr and his MAGA fellows are smugly paraphrasing doesn’t mention that the voter document is an entirely new and different identification card. It requires anyone who has changed their name, as women often do when they marry, to prove it. The idea is to disfranchise women.

Ashley Moody was appointed to be an automatic “yes” vote for Trump. No wonder she refuses to be a much needed check on Donald Trump abuse of power. I’ll be that check on the chaos and corruption that is running rampant in this administration.

Eliciting that self-serving answer was the only purpose of that softball question. The Q and the A are an act of complicit propaganda.

Not only did Trump fail to learn any lessons from covid, but his public health policies have somehow gotten far more dangerous and destructive in Trump 2.0. God forbid he and RFK Jr have to handle a global pandemic. We'll be pining for the days of Dr. Birx.

Not exactly mass mailed. There’s a list of people who regularly get the day’s, talking points and guidance on what to say. The more people you have repeating a message, the more the message will sound like it is the truth.

"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"

The District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (now known as DC Water) is an independent authority of the District of Columbia was created by Congress in 1996. Congress governs DC. The aging pipe that burst was buried underground. Why didn’t the Trump EPA see it coming?
