Are you a married woman who enjoys exercising your constitutional right to vote? This afternoon, Senate Republicans and Trump hope to make it much harder for you. Call your senator and tell them to vote NO on the "SAVE" Act. act.indivisible.org/sign/stop-go...

#Trump just now in presser just lied about debunked story of barackobama.bsky.social loading $100's of millions of cash on a Boeing 757 and sending it to #Iran. The money was from Iran frozen accounts b4 the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was signed. This lie will not die it seems

My analysis: Today’s attacks show how vulnerable the U.S. is to decentralized threats. We’re preparing for the wrong kind of war. Iran’s asymmetric doctrine should be the focus. trumansconscience.blogspot.com/2026/03/asym... #AsymmetricWarfare #Geopolitics #USSecurity #Discover #WorldNews

There’s never enough money for schools or healthcare or veterans. But there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world. We can support the democracy movement in Iran without bombing innocent schoolchildren and sending our American troops off to die.

The Strait of Hormuz had never fully closed until now. The 2026 shutdown isn’t just a geopolitical crisis; it’s an econ shock hitting diesel, #LNG, & every U.S. supply chain. I break it down here: #DieselPrices #LNG #Geopolitics #Economy #WhatsHistory trumansconscience.blogspot.com/2026/03/the-...

I'm starting to detect a pattern here that when #Trump and his cabinet/advisors opt for an action on anything they conscously try to make the worst possible choice on what the action might be. Just sayin'...... www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

So #Trump who consciously avoided #military service is frustrated about being embarrassed with the mere mention of fallen US service personnel as she shows up in Dover participating in the solemn ceremeony over the return of their remains in a baseball hat like he's on a field trip? Seriously?
