Engelbert said the extended negotiations avoided any changes to the 2026 schedule. Training camp is set to open April 19, followed by preseason games beginning April 25 and the start of the regular season on May 8. #wnba #welcometothew

Sen. Rand Paul confronts Trump DHS pick Markwayne Mullin: "Explain to the American public why they should trust a man with anger issues."

HASSAN: If directed by the president to take an action that would break the law, would you follow the law or the president? MULLIN: The president would never ask me to do that HASSAN: Well certainly everyday Americans who have served on juries would disagree with that

@governor.ca.gov He knows exactly what he is doing. He doesn't care. Those with the authority to do something about it refuse to do so. Posting on social media is a waste of everyone's time! Pick up the damn phone and talk to people who have can *do* something about it!

The Ten Commandments

The Princess Bride is an absolutely flawless version of the novel, which Goldman wrote in 1973, 14 years before the film. It's also my favorite book. ❤️

Markwayne Mullin is unfit to lead DHS—his record defends deadly ICE actions, election denial, Jan 6 objections, and volatile outbursts. Demand Senators vote NO on his confirmation for real leadership at DHS. Send your letter now:

If only there was a formal legally constituted process for dealing with this eventuality - or even two different processes. Let me do a web search ...

What do we need to do to get ***Republicans*** in Congress to ***publicly*** condemn the authoritarian takeover and ***vote*** to stop it ***now***? Social media posts aren't doing the job - we need something with more impact!

@repbonamici.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov Yes ... this needs to happen. If the reporting I've seen that AI was involved is true, there need to be public hearings! There is absolutely no legitimate excuse for *using* AI or blaming it on AI! /cc @rosen.senate.gov

There must be a full investigation into the strike on a school in Iran that killed 168 people, many of them innocent children. The United States must ensure we’re doing everything we can to avoid civilian casualties. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...

She is the head of the Department of Justice. She can pick up the phone and demand metadata for any phone threat to *any* government official, and for any threat via mail she can engage the Postmaster General. AG Bondi - you aren't the only one threatened! Where are the investigations??

Either way, if Congress isn't *ruthlessly* unearthing the facts, and if the facts justify it, there aren't 218 Representatives and 67 Senators willing to end this abomination via Article II, Section 4, I have no words for the horror and anger I'm feeling right now. 4/4

2. The "whistleblowers" are Pentagon folk tasked with blaming a human mistake on AI, in support of calling one vendor a "supply chain risk" and awarding a lucrative contract to another. Given the administration's track record I have, like some judges, no presumption of good faith. 3/4

1. The Pentagon really did use an AI to do targeting, contrary to policies of at least one AI vendor, Anthropic, contrary to common sense, and maybe contrary to signed contracts. There may now be whistleblowers in serious jeopardy because Hegseth *loves* polygraphs, or ... 2/4

Given that the Trump-Hegseth / Netanyahu / MBS axis declared this war and *not* the representatives of the *people*, the US Congress, I can think of two plausible explanations. Both of them are enraging / depressing / frightening / dystopian: 1/4

Alright… stay with me a min. Late ’70s. A song cut. About the singer’s man only coming ‘round when it suits him. Nothing special. But club DJs start flipping the wax over. And women on the floor? They start singing it back… louder than the speakers. Sometimes the B-side becomes the sermon.

I remember... A gentleman and a scholar named Barack Obama.

Today I saw a post where someone mentioned the old computer program "Eliza", and then someone else responded with a fundamentally unrelated anecdote about Eliza, as if they were pattern-matching on keywords without at all considering the context or meaning of the conversation that had come before it

Is it because today you saw a post where someone mentioned the old computer program "Eliza", and then someone else responded with a fundamentally unrelated anecdote about Eliza, that you came to see me?

What am I missing? Is there an actual internal dispute between Noem and Miller or is this just theatrical bullshit like 95% of what comes out of the White House in between the bursts of treason, sedition, bribery and extortion?

Exactly! The Mass Deportation Now policy is unconstitutional and everyone with a law license who supports it should lose their license and their job.

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement. The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual. It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

Unfortunately, for a whole array of authors selling their books on Kindle & who had titles being released today.....it appears that Kindle is down & has been for some time.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
