A new whistleblower report alleges that a former DOGE engineer told co-workers at his new job that that he “previously had unrestricted ‘God-level’ access to the SSA’s systems” & that he possessed copies of SSA’s “Numident” & “Master Death” files, which he planned to use at his new job. 3/10/26…1/

That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion." www.cato.org/blog/embarra...

The officer who killed Ruben Ray Martinez has been identified as Homeland Security Investigations agent Jack Stevens.

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"

“.. a claim that, if true, would constitute an unprecedented breach of security protocols at an agency that serves more than 70 million Americans.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

A new Wall Street Journal investigation finds DHS is increasingly turning its wrath on U.S. citizens, punishing them for simply filming or observing officers. Belle Cushing is one of the reporters behind the investigation. She spoke with MPR News guest host Emily Reese about it.

This is your reminder that after you make $184,500, you stop paying into Social Security. Millionaires hit that cap today. We are constantly told there's "not enough" money for Social Security. But we let America's richest people stop paying into it in March. Scrap the cap.

Granting the intelligence community access to large amounts of law enforcement data on citizens “puts Americans’ freedoms at risk,” Sen. Ron Wyden said of the administration’s plan. “The potential for abuse of that information is staggering.”

The Pentagon calculated it was spending $1 billion a day on Trump and Netanyahu’s war. The truth? It was $3 billion…and that’s just for munitions. Plus they’ve alarmed everyone by burning through scarce munitions in a matter of days.

“Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection encompass…[cardiovascular]…abnormalities [that] occur even in previously healthy, non-hospitalized individuals, indicating that long COVID’s cardiovascular impact extends beyond the severely ill subset & poses a broader, population-level challenge.”

There is a growing sickness in the Republican Party that spawns this virulent hatred. Replace 'Muslims' with any other faith & this man would be run out of Congress. Their tolerance for this bigotry is a cancer in their ranks. Hate, in all its forms, should find no refuge here.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Wounded Knee. Tulsa. My Lai. Abu Ghraib And now, Minab We need to talk about the horror when 180 little schoolgirls, boys and teachers were obliterated by U.S. Tomahawk missiles last week. And tell Congress: Not one more dime for these war crimes My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/iran...

A BILLION DOLLARS A DAY. Biggest spike in oil prices EVER. All caused by ONE MAN and his enablers.

Russians are providing military technology to Iranian proxies

On a brighter note, Minnesota has more Paralympians than any other state. Read about our athletes: www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair."

ICE continues its siege on Minnesota. The damage to our state is in hundreds of millions of dollars and untold injury and death to our residents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Last year Trump slashed funds for healthcare & food programs. Now he's spending $1 BILLION PER DAY on his war of choice in Iran. While millions here at home can't afford their basic needs, Trump is spending billions on a regime change war that's making us less safe.

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.

Let’s clear this up now: Trump wore that stupid-ass white ball-cap because he’s the same man who called fallen troops “suckers” and “losers.” He does photo ops, not sorrow. Let's take it up another level. Donald Trump does not give a F*ck about our troops or their family members.

As large as Democracy Docket has grown, it still needs to scale larger and faster. The decline of legacy media and the rise of right-wing media have made our mission more critical than ever. In this arena, size and influence matter enormously. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/six-...

Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor of White Bear Lake, MN lived a life of service and love for her family. We gathered at Dover Air Force base yesterday where she came home from Kuwait draped in the American flag with her loved ones there for her, including her beloved husband Joey.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Remarkable: With support for the Iran war tanking, Trump is now throwing away the GOP's advantage on three core issues: Economy, immigration, national security. A year ago it looked like he might be popular on all three. He lit it all on fire. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2074...

We started with restrain ICE. Then reform ICE, then landed squarely on abolish ICE. But I’ve moved on to prosecute ICE y’all. Every last one even if it takes 20 years of trials.

License plate readers. Cellphone location data. Social media monitoring. Now, real-time facial recognition on the street. DHS is building a surveillance apparatus—and you're probably already in it. Our latest with @france24.com:

This WAR IN IRAN (Operation Epic Failure, I call it) is costing almost $1 BILLION EVERY DAY. Just think, 15 DAYS of this war would have paid for all Medicaid expansion healthcare subsidies for ALL YEAR. abcnews.com/Politics/war...

Looks like a Nazi “Heil Hitler” salute to me:

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...

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.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Rocky Myers, a Black man accused of murdering a white woman in Alabama, was represented at trial by a Klan lawyer named John Mays. He had no idea. 30 years later, he's still behind bars. Please take a moment to read and share. www.treadbylee.com/p/klonsel

Whole ballgame right there. If rights don't apply equally and uniformly, they're not rights, they're privileges afforded to select few and discriminately denied to others.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

NEW: A majority of Americans disapprove of how President Trump is managing the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran and oppose the military action outright, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll. https://to.pbs.org/4u4YX42

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

Republicans are pushing DOJ to bring criminal charges against Cassidy Hutchinson for spilling the beans on Donald Trump's Jan 6 shenanigans. This is all about creating a chilling effect on anyone in the administration who is *currently* witnessing unethical/illegal behavior.

I remember when this was first aired! The message is still much needed today.

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

While the surge of federal agents in the Twin Cities grabbed much of the attention the past few months, stories of children hiding at home, crying in class and being detained have quietly gripped some Minnesota small towns since January.

If we examine the origins the the war on Iran, we get an inkling of a closed domain of international oligarchs, exploiting the state’s power and patriotic sentiment, while creating a world order in which the American state is much weaker. An oligarchical corridor. snyder.substack.com/p/the-oligar...
