Russia has been shipping drones to Iran to aid its ally in the war against the U.S. and Israel, according to a Western intelligence report. Ukrainian President Zelensky also claimed on March 24 that Kyiv has "irrefutable evidence" that Russia is helping Iran target U.S. assets in the Middle East.

We are less safe when Congress abdicates its constitutional role over the use of military force. If boots on the ground are even a possibility, the Speaker shouldn’t be guessing; he should require the administration to brief Congress on plans and objectives. zurl.co/YkUvL

Not great how this debacle revealed there isn't a single person in the Pentagon with a functioning brain, just sycophants who type "final blow" into an AI chatbot then pass it up the chain with a yessir. If even one person there told Trump/Hegseth the truth, we'd know because they'd be fired.

ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her. (Published Nov. 2025)

“.. They have to treat the President like a child,” wrote Rep. Seth Magaziner. “So embarrassing for everyone involved.” @mediaite.com www.mediaite.com/media/news/m...

No Melania, Robots should not replace human teachers…. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/u...

U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that Iran had informally suggested making him its Supreme Leader, but said he declined the idea. The remark, made during a public appearance, drew attention amid ongoing tensions and conflict between the two countries.

This is horrific. It will result in more deaths in Ukraine: “The weapons that could be diverted away from Ukraine include air defense interceptor missiles, ordered through a NATO program launched last year in which partner countries buy U.S. arms for Kyiv.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

“Yes.. that was former Attorney General Bill Barr stuck in a 3-hour TSA line in Houston…”

Senator Chris Murphy, "The Strait of Hormuz was open before the war began" "We are now seeking to solve a problem that we created" "This is insanity"

BREAKING: Democrats tried to overturn Trump's near-total abortion ban at the VA. Republicans blocked it. Republicans don't think veterans who are survivors of rape or incest deserve to get the abortion care they need. It's cruel—and I'll keep fighting back.

It seems clear by now that Iran did not give Trump a "big present" or "prize" on Monday and that he was hallucinating or confused. As an example of his unfitness to lead, I think this is worth pursuing. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

From nationalizing voter suppression to flooding the streets with federal agents, the president and his allies are using all the tricks in the authoritarian playbook to tilt the midterms in their favor.

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

SAVE Act stymied Why? Because it's based on a lie Trump & allies built a disinformation campaign around immigrants & voting The myth is cracking @lulacorg.bsky.social & @democracydefendersaction.org documented it all: www.democracydefendersaction.org/the-big-lie

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco is a right-wing extremist. If he becomes governor of California, he’ll be a direct extension of Donald Trump. “I am the antithesis to California state government because I am going to take a nuclear bomb into that building…”

"We health professionals must call urgent attention to this silent but deadly assault [EPA dismantling] on American's health...." @nejm.org www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Hegseth’s dangerous incompetence continues to be on display as he uses his Christian nationalism to justify the Trump's war of choice in Iran. Our founders insisted on the separation of church and state to prevent religion from becoming a tool of politics rather than a matter of spiritual faith.

The U.S. military is preparing to deploy at least 1,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East in the coming days, according to three people with knowledge of the plans. https://to.pbs.org/4rWoiuP

Tax the rich. 💰💰💰💰

Sen. Alex Padilla: The GOP’s SAVE America Act wld force all 50 states to hand over voter data to Trump’s DHS—already found to have violated 200 court orders in MN alone since Dec alone—letting Trump appointees order purges via a system that’s already flagging eligible voters as “false positives.” 1/

⚡️ Sanctioned Russian lawmakers to meet US officials in rare Washington visit, source says. The Russian delegation is headed by Vyacheslav Nikonov, deputy chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee and the grandson of Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov.

Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court. DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations." DOJ blames ICE (page 2)

Trump’s post skips key details from the article. U.S. intel still judges Iran nearly a decade away from an ICBM that can reach the US, and even European officials say the claim Tehran can hit London isn’t backed by evidence yet. That’s a weird way to “vindicate” imminent‑threat rhetoric. x

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

Trump in his 2nd term has approved 90% of requests from GOP Governors for Disaster relief. What % has he approved from Democratic governors? ONLY 23%! Trump is playing politics with disaster funding. Time for Blue States to withhold taxes! My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-refu...

“Broken down into what government finances would look like as a household budget: “Household earns $52,446 and spends $73,378 — running a $20,932 annual deficit. Total liabilities and unfunded promises amount to $1,361,788 against just $60,554 in assets. $1.3 million in the hole.”

A retired Major General told America that Pete Hegseth’s words are “absolutely the words of potential war criminals.” The Secretary of Defense. Of the United States. THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL.

Since Trump and Republicans "defunded" Planned Parenthood, breast cancer exam visits fell by 25%. Cuts have hit low-income folks and folks in underserved areas hardest. Nobody benefits when people are getting fewer critical exams, paying more for care, or forgoing the care they need.

Iran’s Parliament Speaker warns the US along with another country in the region are preparing to seize what is likely Kharg Island, a critical oil hub. He says Iran is monitoring all movements and vows that if attacked, the regional country’s infrastructure will be hit with “relentless” retaliation.

Senator Warnock recently warned—correctly— that the GOP’s so-called “Save America Act” is a voter purge bill. It’s “about the 'big bad federal government' controlling state voter rolls, not voter ID.” 3/19/26 … 1/ @warnock.senate.gov

“this war has created a set of global economic headwinds which will have negative repercussions for many countries, including the United States. The war has not, as of yet, made Americans any safer – but it has made them poorer.”

“the conditions where the sometimes unpredictable junior partner (Israel) in a security relationship can unilaterally bring the senior partner (US) into a major conflict is an enormous strategic error, precisely because it means you end up in a war when it is in the junior partner’s interests…”

“If you do a war where thousands of people die and billions of dollars are spent only to end up back where you started that is losing; if you end up worse than where you started, well, that is worse.”

1. Yesterday, the NYT dropped a bombshell: Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has been aggressively lobbying Trump not to end the fighting and pushing him to launch a ground operation. Why would Trump listen? Follow the money.

News --> More than 100 Jewish faculty and staff members at Harvard write an open letter saying Trump's attacks on the university, done in the name of fighting "antisemitism," are actually contrary to the interests of Jewish people:

Today, for the TENTH TIME, Democrats will go to the floor to demand that we pay TSA immediately. And for the TENTH TIME, Republicans will have a chance to join us. I’m not holding my breath.

NEW: Trump appointed 12 Big Tech executives including Jensen Huang and Mark Zuckerberg to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. This board is usually made up of top scientists and doctors. In the Trump Administration only money gets a seat at the table.

I just saw this now. But I hope this level of anger will motivate people who don’t typically protest to get off the couch and out the door Saturday for a No Kings protest nearby. We need this Saturday and straight through to the Nov. 3 midterms and beyond.

"Meta and YouTube were negligent in the design of their platforms, knew their design was dangerous, failed to warn of those risks and caused substantial harm to the plaintiff, the jury found. The decision could set a precedent for hundreds of similar cases and lead to major changes..."

If you had any influence in stopping a war, but could make extraordinary amounts of money while it continued, why would you stop it?

As with everything with Donald Trump, it always comes down to money. His money. And that's the only real priority he has, even when it's our national security at stake. www.ms.now/news/trump-c...

If democracy can win in Trump's backyard — it can win anywhere The resistance is not hypothetical It's on the ballot & it's winning Emily Gregory joined my colleague @jenrubin.bsky.social @contrariannews.org 👇 www.contrariannews.org/p/can-mar-a-...

Saudi Arabia reportedly wants Trump to launch a ground invasion of Iran. Remember: Trump's family has deep business ties to Saudi Arabia, including new luxury properties in Riyadh and Jeddah. Trump cannot be trusted to put protecting American lives over lining his own pockets.
