Stuck in an hours-long security line at the airport? It’s because Senate Republicans blocked Democrats’ bill to fund DHS agencies that don’t conduct immigration enforcement, like TSA. That’s how dead set they are on allowing ICE to keep terrorizing communities with impunity. Remember this.

Wow. Read Joe Kent's resignation letter: x.com/joekent16jan...

Call me gullible. When I see videos of skiers dodging bears or gray squirrels underground, my 1st thought isn't 'that's AI.' It takes a minute to get there. But I'm starting to ask "does it make sense?" about everything I see. Media, too. Honestly, it's amazing how much bullshit we're being fed.

Levying tariffs on all of our allies and threatening to invade Greenland was self-harm on its own, but particularly dumb chessplay now that we need all of them to help us defend the Strait of Hormuz and stave off a global energy crisis.

ICE agents stopping people for speaking Spanish. Families told to carry papers. Judges begging ICE to follow basic law. That’s not “border security.” That’s authoritarian creep. If the system runs on racial profiling, the system has to go. Abolish ICE.

The dumbest fuck on the planet is President of the United States.

Recap: Hour 1: We hit them like they’ve never been hit before. Day 1: We already won this war. It was easy. Yay us. Day 5: We don’t need any help. Don’t bother showing up after the war is over. Losers. Day 13: Why isn’t the world helping us? There will be be consequences.

Pretty soon, #DementedDon will be releasing Epstein Files to distract from gas prices.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From slyngstad )

Okay . . . cross Volkwagen off the list of new-car possibilities.

I normally try to avoid predicting the future, but this is 100% going to happen. Be ready. (Also, meme spotted on facebook)

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”

Remember when they declared they had restored free speech and ended federal censorship on Trump's very first day back? Well, now they're openly bragging about all the journalists they got fired for saying the wrong thing and all the companies the federal government forced to make changes.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Americans are dying so that Kushner can make money

NEWS: The Trump administration just gave Vladimir Putin another break. Treasury issued a license letting countries buy Russian oil already loaded onto ships before March 12, allowing those sanctioned shipments to still reach buyers, handing the Kremlin a financial lifeline.

Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."

The full Epstein files need to be released so Donald Trump can stop working for foreign powers holding it over his head.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

While millions are struggling to make ends meet, Donald Trump is exploiting the presidency to get even richer through shady crypto deals and blatant self-dealing. New "Golden Age" for whom, exactly?

Don't stop talking about the EPSTEIN FILES

There are reports of ICE activity on the north side of Chicago happening now. Please share so people in the area can be aware and take precautions. If you’re in the area please come by our office at 7016 N Clark St for ICE whistles. We protect each other. Chinga la migra.

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

The administration is lying to us about Iran . . . on every level:

Probably the most informative, important thread you'll read today:

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing. They know that the American people do not want a war

(cartoon Dave Granlund)

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

BREAKING: After badly losing the war he started for no reason, President Trump is carefully considering declaring victory and pretending he won 👀

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

Trump offers unconditional surrender.

I wonder why he didn't call it the THE SAVE TRUMP ACT TO OBVIOUS?

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

The Master Chief ain't happy:

Trump openly lies about the bombed girls school. As Americans we make mistakes in war but they are unintentional and we own them. Trump blaming Iran is no different than what Putin does when he blames Ukraine for attacks Russia clearly does. We’ve become accepting of pure lies

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion. That's $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. Thousands of lives lost. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
