I would like to remind you all that we are broke, we have no money, we have to cut spending immediately for all of you entitlement bums on Medicare and Medicaid... but war, we have tons of money for that.

Let me see if I get this straight: the 'f*ck your feelings' crowd went to war with Iran based on....feelings? Got it.

Watch and share, pls.

“Data centers … they need some PR help,” said President Donald Trump at the event. “People think that if the data center goes in, their electricity is going to go up.”

Classic Chotiner interview, in that Landsman thinks it went great for him and is wondering why his family looks sad and is wearing black and there are all those casserole dishes in the kitchen

STOP. LISTEN. Seriously. Maybe we’ve been going about this all wrong. Maybe this has to be dismantled from the bottom up. This rank corruption. There needs to be a serious IMPEACH NOEM demand. These hearings have made any other choice complicity.

I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes: Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

This, for the love of Pete

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

"He also questioned why the government was continuing to do so after the Supreme Court ruled the tariffs illegal." Uh, yeah... www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

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.

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?
