You all saw this, right? www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

It must be *infuriating* to TSA agents, who are NOT getting paid, to see lazy ICE agents, who ARE getting paid, lounging about the airport and doing nothing to help either them or passengers.

Thune has the votes to override a veto if he needed to so that TSA, etc., could be funded. The GOP too cowardly to do it.

I tend not to read a lot of fiction, but @jimmywriter.bsky.social writes an incredible series of books set in WW2 with Billy Boyle as the main character surrounded by an incredible cast of interesting men and women. Part history book, part crime novel, part whodunit mystery, it's always a great read

Gee, I never imagined. You know, trusting the President to do their job without adult supervision 24/7.

Probably just a coincidence

A little-known true story of a Swedish bureaucrat during WW2 who saved thousands of lives. Gösta Engzell at first obeyed orders to not allow Norwegian Jews entry into Sweden. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOTt...

I’m just gonna leave this here…

Chris Christie: "To say what the president said about Bob Mueller just shows you how completely self-consumed he is. It comes from his own sense that the only thing that matters in the world is him. That's what a child does."

Exactly right.

When you lose Fox “news” …

President Kennedy's family created the profile in courage award in 1989 to honor Kennedy and to recognize political bravery. The John F. Kennedy Library and Museum announced Twin Cities residents have earned the Profile in Courage Award.

Yep!

Ossoff: "This fundraising email, features a photo of Trump with a flag-draped coffin of an American service member — the American people need to know that the president is fundraising for his political campaign & his PAC using images of American service members killed in action, & it's a disgrace"

US intelligence concluded that Iran was not rebuilding nuclear enrichment capacities destroyed last year by the United States and Israel, contradicting a key justification by Trump for his ongoing war. u.afp.com/SL8j

"It's a little unfair. You win a war, and they keep on doing what they're doing." That would be the definition of NOT winning, Donnie.

Buttigieg: “Trump thought he could get a better deal than Obama did — he failed to get a better deal & he launched a war without planning, without being ready for even some of the most basic things — the military advised him that the Straits of Hormuz would be closed — this is clearly amateur hour”

Yesterday: “They’re coming already” Today: “They don’t want to get involved”

HASSETT: “Hurting consumers is the last of our concerns” When they tell you who they are, believe them

Governor Newsom responds to Trump’s attacks on people with learning disabilities:

Just a reminder.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day from Billy Boyle - and me, pictured hiking up Slieve Donard, the highest mountain in Northern Ireland. Tough climb!

After working with the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal died in the country he spent years of his life helping. The cruelty is endless.

He should go be with his family if this is legit instead of helping the House Republicans flail & do nothing with their majority. If his diagnosis is that grim fuck the math for your party, go focus on things that should matter to you more.

The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals. We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.

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

These are the things that have historically led to revolutions. Not sustainable.

I'll keep traveling the country this year to make myself useful, wherever I can, to help build a winning coalition for the coming midterm elections.

This Thursday, please join voice actor Peter Berkrot and me for a virtual event sponsored by the Essex CT Library. We'll be talking about A Bitter Wind, Billy Boyle #20, and the upcoming 2026 title. And Peter will do a live reading - always a treat! engagedpatrons.org/EventsExtend...

I regret to inform America that this was just posted by the HHS Secretary.

General Custer, why did you lead your men into a massacre? Custer: Because of all these arrows sticking out of me.

Give a listen; narrator Peter Berkrot does a terrific job. www.audible.com/pd/A-Bitter-...

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.

More politicians should include that Donald Trump is first and foremost a child rapist and all over the Epstein files

Yep.

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
