If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store. GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

Shame, shame, shame on Collins.

Shame, shame, shame on Collins.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

Here's a thread featuring clips of key moments from the DC Metropolitan Police body camera footage of the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that I obtained as a result of my FOIA lawsuit:

Trump is very weak.

This sort of thing is always hit with, "LOL he doesn't care he'll never face voters again." In fact, he does care. He has privately said he fears being impeached by a Dem House. And I don't know who I need to tell this to, but presidential approval matters in midterms.

The co-presidency continues.

"Gas prices are through the roof and Obama is doing nothing about it. He should be fired!" - Donald Trump (September 2012)

A refresher on what Rubio once said about the Jan. 6 insurrection that Tarrio helped provoke: "3rd world style anti-American anarchy" “disgusting” “unpatriotic" “inexcusable” "national embarrassment" "one of the saddest days in our history"

What the actual......?

Marco Rubio hanging out with Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio at the "Shield of the Americas" event, in case you were still thinking it had some sort of legitimate purpose

Fox ran older footage but labeled it as happening Saturday.

On the Fox News website, they have the real video and the fake one together -- the real one twice (top and bottom in image) and then this older video from December 2025 presented as this weekend (middle) www.foxnews.com/search-resul...

"The family’s detainment has drawn concern and criticism from Texas lawmakers, who have raised questions about the kinds of people the Trump administration is targeting in its mass deportation campaign." (Gift article) #AbolishICE www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/u...

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Horrific

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible – and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.” — @jkbjournalist.bsky.social on the Epstein victim who accused Trump of assault. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

For anyone with relatives or friends who still claim Trump is targeting only "illegal" migrants, this interview with @davidjbier.bsky.social dispels the myth. It explains how the US govt is blocking legal immigration - even people who followed the process and paid all the fees to become citizens.

Excellent NYT video analysis finds that the bombing of scores of schoolchildren in Iran came amid other US strikes in the vicinity: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...

More and more people are saying it. #MEpolitics

This should be interesting

"Emmanuel Damas, 56, died while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, after struggling to receive timely medical care for a worsening toothache" Unimaginable cruelty ... Jesus ... don't have any words. 🥲

Talarico: It doesn’t matter what happens in this Republican runoff. We already know who we’re running against — the billionaire megadonors and their corrupt political system. The only truth in that is that we are a threat — a threat to their corrupt system.

Facts are FUN 🤩

J.D. Vance should have apologized publicly to every Catholic in America rather than leaving it to Cardinal Dolan to leak to EWTN.

Vance clearly isn't a good Catholic. End of story.

This cartoonishly childish Hegseth persona is an insult to the American military, the American people, the Iranian people, and just about everybody affected by this war. It is absolutely incredible, in the literal sense, that this man is at the hinge of the chain of command in this spiraling war.

29 point swing towards Democrats in *Arkansas*. Texas Republicans should be gulping nervously, right now. (Original image reposted with alt text)

This isn ur country....shame on us.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were. These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War. Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35 Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42 Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39 Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

Accusing Jamelle Bouie of "exaggerated nastiness" and "hateful, uncharitable commentary" is absolutely insane.

Trump administration officials acknowledged in closed-door briefings with congressional staff that there was no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack US forces first, two people familiar with the matter said reut.rs/46ybyTg

Dear Ms Bondi -- The Dow is no longer at $50,000.

Corrupt, horrible FIFA have embraced Trump 100%. Why a true- blue state like Mass is hosting their matches is beyond me. They should have nothing to do with supporting FIFA. The correct answer is to move the World Cup out of America. @simonkuper.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/o...
