You know these are the same people that told us cigarettes were safer 60 years. Chemicals of unknown safety added to US food supply without FDA or public knowledge | CNN share.google/KaAlZEaoPntm...

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

The USVP seems divorced from reality. The administration's tariffs and chaotic wars have everything to do with the significantly higher costs of things.

WALZ: What a 'stop payment' meant by what the administration did last week is 400,000 children without healthcare COMER: We believe that's your fault WALZ: Our Medicaid error rate is lower than your state

Voter suppression in Texas.

Catholic Bishop Anthony B. Taylor of Little Rock, AR expresses his concerns about the Trump-Vance war on Iran and says that it does not meet the conditions of Just War Theory in his view. He also asks Catholics to pray that the administration's hearts may be softened to stop resorting to force.

The preliminary Pentagon cost estimate of the war in Iran is $1 billion a day, according to a congressional official

Please read @swordsjew.bsky.social (who is blocking me for some reason?) on the evangelicals in the RW base that view armed conflict in the Middle East as the road to Christ's fiery return. I think this sounds so outlandish to normal secular people that they don't take it seriously. It's serious!

LIEU: Did Amalia commit a crime? NOEM: She did not. She's with her family LIEU: The reason she's with her family is because she almost died in ICE detention until folks brought a lawsuit forcing her release

Agree with this take. Sotomayor was clear and correct: "Until defendants try to obtain relief from New York’s highest court, this Court cannot and should not act." SCOTUS' opinion is a legal nullity. About as binding as shouting, "I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!"

I agree, quite apart from the merits of the case. Alito could only defend the Supreme Court's authority to intervene by grievously misrepresenting the facts. The reality is that there's no plausible argument SCOTUS had the power to do what it did. Why didn't that matter to six justices?

To me, the NY redistricting case feels like a constitutional crisis in miniature. The Supreme Court is issuing orders it "cannot" issue, Sotomayor explains in her dissent. Yet it did so anyway. So how should the NY courts react to an order that should never have issued?

and if you say this they get huffy about it, like you're supposed to accept them lying to you as part of the gig bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson? WALZ: I'm the governor of Minnesota. I'm not here to be a prop for your obsession.

Usually when America’s president starts a war based on lies told to hide their failures, our allies back us up, that doesn’t seem to be happening this time. As unfortunate that is, it’s good that he’s not being legitimatized.

Up is down. Black is white

All those red states claiming that they were the most friendly business environment aren't living in reality. Chicago has remained the #1 metro area for businesses looking to grow.

extraordinary night for state progressives in North Carolina via boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

At CBS News, where staffers are apparently barred from reading history books, the hostilities between Iran and the US don’t begin until 1979.

All I'm seeing from the Trump administration is a lust for violence and death. It is truly astonishing.

These are real life girls that have sworn under oath that they have been sexually assaulted and they are in the Epstein files.

RESULT: Over & over, Democratic lawmaker Shelly Willingham helped the North Carolina GOP override the vetoes of Governor Stein & Cooper. He lost just now to a progressive challenger, 56% to 44%. (And he's likely one of several in this position. Stay tuned.)

I'll be on "All Sides with Amy Juravich" on WOSU Radio in Ohio at 8 a.m. CST, 9 EST. We'll be talking about the state of the news media, with David Bianculli of Rowan University and Elizabeth Harris of The New York Times. Listen here: www.wosu.org/show/all-sid...

"The most effective consumer boycotts in history share two qualities: they are narrow and they are easy," writes @rutgerbregman.com

Hegseth’s press conference featured questions from the Daily Wire, Daily Caller, and the MyPillow guy’s website

At least 1,097 civilians had been killed in Iran so far, including 181 children.

Ah, yes, the invaluable wisdom of the markets.

A handful of Republicans could end all of this. And there are quite a few who hate this war, masked terrorists in our cities, flouting of Congress, corruption, etc. But unless they prove otherwise they’re all cowards.

Gonna ask my MAGA acquaintances this...

The grift that keeps on grifting.

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday. She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.

BREAKING: Babe, wake up. New war just dropped. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/u...

A democratic candidate just won in the *checks notes* Arkansas state house special election. Flip from R to D.

DURBIN: How does taking dad from child dying of cancer qualify as a violent crime? NOEM: I don't know what you're speaking of D: Ruben Torres 2 weeks ago buried his daughter. When he was arrested at Home Depot, he said, 'Please. My daughter is dying.' They deported him. Was he a violent criminal?

CNN put together a montage of the regime's incoherent talking points about Trump's war on Iran

NC maybe doing the thing

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

Lying about either Clinton's testimony a couple of days before video was released seems profoundly stupid, but I guess when you've got FOX and NewsMax to just pick up the lies and run with them, it doesn't matter.

"I had to punch that guy because I could tell he was going to hit me back once we jumped him" is just a description of jumping a guy

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for: - Who takes over; - Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation; - How to defend US bases in the region; - Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and - How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this. open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test... McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Check out the number of votes.

KLOBUCHAR: Alex Pretti's parents said what you said was one of the most hurtful things they could imagine. Do you want to say anything to Alex's parents? NOEM: I did not call him a 'domestic terrorist.' I said it 'appeared to be an incident of' KLOBUCHAR: I think the parents saw it for what it was

This is Senator Peter Welch, air-quoting like crazy, when asking Noem about Corey Lewandowski being her “special advisor”
