Women lawmakers are not safe from sexual assault in Jefferson City, Missouri…

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

More of yesterday’s coyotes. Bonus red winged blackbird tweets in the background.

In war, everyone suffers. Tough stuff. @lbc.co.uk www.lbc.co.uk/article/self...

After Whiskey Pete threw a tantrum yesterday and then Karoline Leavitt attacked Kaitlan Collins because the media reported on the people Trump got killed in Kuwait, note that MOST outlets are not prominently covering IDs of fifth and sixth KIA, as Reuters did. www.reuters.com/world/pentag...

ABC did include their photos on front page and in blog coverage. abcnews.com/Internationa...

Where that ID appears on CNN's front page.

On Iran, press is having an acute problem dealing with Trump's loose relationship with rational thought and David Sanger always has a normalcy bias. With that caveat, note that ¶ describing whose counsel Trump listened to does NOT include Whiskey Pete. Or Tulsi. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/u...

Tulsi doesn't surprise me. She opposed the more limited illegal strikes on Iran last summer. She must hate this more. Hegseth? I believe that could be TRUE; after all he was AWOL in pictures from Saturday. But they may have taken OUT a ref to him, bc only mention does not include his first name.

Also, Stephen Miller is not mentioned.

And to make things crazier, once that happens, consumers are going to figure out they're being taxed to pay for the tax they were illegally taxed.

Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?

Incidentally, I somehow first learned of this on Xitter from him--he's trying to get in front of it. Probably end up breaking something else by doing so.

This may be what I first saw on Xitter.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

WHY IS EVERY PAPER ON EARTH USING SCHUMER’S PICTURE WHEN HE LOST ON A PARTY-LINE VOTE?? THUNE IS THE FACE OF THIS, NOT SCHUMER. I MEAN, COME ON.

When you’re running for governor of Florida, that’s pretty much the end of your campaign.

This is psychotic behavior by Sheehy. My goodness

Remember when Rep. Greg Gianforte, now the GOP governor of the state, body slammed a reporter into a table? We probably need to shut down the Montana Republican Party entirely until we can figure out where all this violent rage is coming from.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

n the 130 year History of the Dow Jones its only dropped over a thousand points 14 times. Twelve of those times were under Trump.

This woman is absolutely insane.

If you're just joining us in Operation Epstein Distraction... Trump's White House claimed Spain has agreed to cooperate with the U.S. military in its War on Iran. Spain fired back immediately that Trump's White House is lying and reiterated non-cooperation. All is going well.

How odd that so many military veterans who saw their friends get killed in the last stupid in the Middle East feel compelled to speak out against this stupid war in the Middle East.

[WARNING: This is a bit graphic.] A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.

RASKIN: Is it lawful for federal agents to shoot and kill a person for engaging in peaceful protest? NOEM: No RASKIN: Is it lawful for agents to shoot someone just for driving away from them? NOEM: No RASKIN: Well, I'm glad you got the law right

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Gov DeSantis from designating CAIR as a terrorist organization and punish those who associate with the group. “Once again, Florida chooses political posturing over the First Amendment,” Judge Walker writes. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: The Texas Secretary of State DID NOT UPDATE the precinct maps on their website last December. MY GOD @msnowreports.bsky.social

The White House just posted a video mixing real footage from the Iran strikes with a killstreak animation from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 x.com/WhiteHouse/s...

FWIW, on Xitter I'm seeing right wing propagandists applauding Kamlager-Dove for asking Noem about fucking Lewandowski. Right wingers have had it with her too--and for the reason that Moskowitz and others mentioned, bc she killed one of Trump's most popular issues.

As stupid as the subpoenas to the Clintons (especially Hillary) were, it laid the groundwork for this.

An ICE detainee in Arizona has died of a TOOTH INFECTION after it went untreated for weeks, a local official says. He was a Haitian asylum seeker imprisoned in Florence, Arizona. @emilybregel.bsky.social reports. tucson.com/news/local/b...

Note, @repmoskowitz.bsky.social got Noem on the record about Corey signing contracts AFTER @propublica.org brought the goods. [corrected] www.propublica.org/article/kris...

this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%. boltsmag.org/north-caroli...

MOSKOWITZ: I want to give you a chance to answer on the record Rep. Kamlager-Dove's question about sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski NOEM: The tabloids you are quoting are insane MOSKOWITZ: So it's a no? NOEM: You say conservative women are stupid or sluts. I am neither.

Oh SHIT!!! Jared Moskowitz ends a speech laying out Noem's corruption with Corey (just after she basically could not deny fucking him) by saying, "I got you the Coast Guard blanket you lost."

Kamlager-Dove: During you tenure at DHS, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski? Noem: I am shocked we are peddling tabloid garbage.

Sydney Kamlager Dove asked Noem if she fucked Corey. 🤣 Noem ... did not deny it.

👀 Israni, a first-time political candidate w/ a history of "Hindu nationalism advocacy" gave "cash" to "MAGA candidates, the Republican head of the evangelical Zionist group Christians United for Israel, anti-abortion candidates, and even far-right pundit Laura Loomer." @jsweetli.bsky.social #CA14

New: The Trump admin confirmed in a court filing it will pay interest on any refunds it ultimately must make after SCOTUS struck the president’s contested tariffs. This hasn't been a central issue, but underscores the financial stakes. Interest could total $700M/month, per Cato buff.ly/i4ybtNW

Here's the @balint.house.gov exchange I wrote up earlier. Thanks to @atrupar.com for clipping it.

How you know something stupid will shortly happen.

To clarify from earlier. On the left is Kristi Noem and her husband, just as Jamie Raskin brought up blankie-gate. Her spouse sniffs and snorts. A lot. One the right is the dude who got Noem's husband's seat when the hubby didn't return after the break.

Chuy names Charles Exum. Folks in the Senate avoided naming him yesterday. Noem immediately moves to her false claims about numbers of assaults. Now she admits she is familiar with Marimar Martinez (yesterday she played dumb).

He plays video of Martinez shooting. Calls her the worst of the worst DHS Secretary. Calls for dismantling of DHS. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcnW...

For no particular breaking topical reason, a recent (award-winning) cartoon.

🚁🔥 According to Russians, minus Mi-8 helicopter over Rostov yesterday. Friendly Fire!
