The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

'UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY': Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointeee from NY, thrashes DHS' treatment of a man who came to the US at 9 as an abuse/neglect victim, has no criminal record and became a college grad. "The laws of decency condemn such villainy." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“An anonymous tip from someone who claimed to have worked at the ranch said Mr. Epstein concealed the deaths of two abused girls by ordering them to be buried in the hills outside the ranch. It is unclear whether the F.B.I. ever looked into the tip.”

These brave Americans died because Trump was bored and wanted to spice things up with a fight.

This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans. I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess. Info in 🧵

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

Dr Oz on rural healthcare: "There's no question about it, whether you want it or not -- the best way to help some of these communities is gonna be AI-based avatars"

Trump is lying. I serve on the Intel & Armed Services Committees. There’s no intelligence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S. or the American people.

🚨 A district judge has ordered polls in the Democratic primary in Dallas County to remain open until 9pm CT tonight.

Sen.Tillis is loathsome, but even he is done with corrupt, incompetent Krispi Noem. When you've lost the bottom of the Senate barrel, best to resign. youtu.be/Of2rp0kKCjA?...

The Pentagon has released the names of four of the six service members who have been killed in the Iran war, saying they died in a drone strike in Kuwait.

Trump admits there were no evacuation plans for Americans abroad due to his war with Iran "because it all happened very quickly."

Breaking - US consulate in Dubai has been hit and is on fire @cnn.com

“…this information was originally siloed for important reasons: to protect your privacy, to prevent different branches of government from using sensitive data to punish or harass you, and to perserve the trust in and legitimacy of important civic institutions.”

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

The brutal, despicable, and grim side of war. The burial of the 150 elementary school girls killed in American-Israeli strikes on #Iran was today.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin? NOEM: Yes WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that? NOEM: No.

trickle down economics is bull shit and if you believe it then you are stupid. great replacement is bull shit and if you believe it then you are racist. vaccines are safe and effective and if you believe otherwise you should be shunned from society

"As someone whose kids won’t die fighting in the war, it’s important that you understand the flimsy, morally bankrupt justifications for war, and why it’s vital for you to throw more of your children's lives at this one." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

DC journalists have a golden opportunity. Just say something like "since they will be honoring an avowed enemy of free speech and a free press, I will not be attending the Correspondents' Association dinner this year." It's telling how many will not, even when handed to them on a silver platter.

Trump: "Finally, we honor one more American soldier, a fallen warria of world. Of wars. And really, terra.”

6 US troops died to day, & what’s he talking about? “See that nice drape… I picked those drapes in my first term. I always liked gold… It will be spectacular. I believe it's going to be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world” To him, US soldiers are cannon fodder. Nothing more or less

🚨🚨🚨

Two days into the war: - three F-15s shot down - U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia in flames - six U.S. service members confirmed dead; more wounded - State Department tells Americans to flee the entire Middle East

The US has no industrial capacity to produce the munitions needed to fight a large scale conflict in Iran. If this spirals into a protracted conflict, the US will not be able to sustain a bombing campaign. It must put troops on the ground. They have no plan for this.

🚨BREAKING: Virginia voters will head to the polls starting Friday to weigh in on a plan to redraw the state’s congressional map in response to GOP gerrymanders in other states after a court ruled* that election preparations can move forward. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Maj. Gen. Randy Manner (Ret.): "It's a little bit disheartening to hear that the UK govt is arranging transport for the British citizens, whereas here as Americans we feel abandoned. The State Dept is in survival mode because as we know the administration reduced their budget by almost half."

175 children were killed in a single airstrike in Iran. That's not collateral damage, that's an atrocity. Can we at least make an effort to investigate how this happened and who's responsible?

this is already an extremely unpopular war and it’s just going to get worse as more people die and oil prices go up

whoa -- this is new. Trump has a significant rash-like injury on his neck today in addition to his disfigured hand (Saul Loeb/Getty)

American troops are dying in the Middle East for Trump's illegal war against Iran, but the president is more concerned with promoting his gold-encrusted ballroom.

Via @brianbeutler.bsky.social, Dems should politicize the hell out of Trump's Iran bombing: "It would be a mistake to treat this as an above-board idea over which people of good faith can disagree. There is no merit here, and there was no imminent threat." www.offmessage.net/p/republican...

Right now, you can relatively easily create a somewhat-anonymous account on platforms like bluesky, reddit, etc. and post information that's critical of the government in relative safety. Forcing everyone to submit to a face scan or associate their government ID with all their posts? nightmare.

(AXIOS) - No president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump. @axios.com www.axios.com/2026/03/02/t...

Sam Altman got played and spun it like a win - @haydenfield.bsky.social has the scoop from a weekend’s worth of reporting from inside the Pentagon AI negotiations. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Maybe the slogan "Measles will make us lose money" is what would finally break through in a society suffering from end stage capitalism.🤷🏽‍♀️ 1.5 billion dollars cost annually for every percentage drop in vaccination coverage just might be what does it. www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-...

It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!

Chris Murphy: "We need to stand up for the American citizens that ICE is murdering, the kids they're terrorizing. They should stop this illegal war and they should stop ICE from terrorizing our communities. We should demand they do both things."

Chris Murphy: "We're gonna have Americans dying, and the end result is going to be hard line leadership continues in Iran and we don't get rid of their nuclear program. That's a moral and strategic disaster for the country."

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

Currently trending on X.

one of the Republican candidates for comptroller in Texas...bought Jeffrey Epstein's ranch?? www.texastribune.org/2026/02/13/d...

Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT) to Face the Nation: “I don't have any obligation to fund a Department of Homeland Security that is violating the law every day, just like I don't have any obligation to support this war that is illegal as well.”

Americans remember Iraq and Afghanistan

But when you see that he's rogue, corrupt, and wildly unstable, and then you elect him again, what you've actually said then is that the political decisions made by the people of the US can no longer be trusted, and that means the US as a whole can no longer be trusted if we elect such people.
