We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

Garcia: "The truth is that Donald Trump and Republicans have cut billions of dollars from healthcare and food assistance, and used that money to hire officers who are now terrorizing cities and killing Americans. That's where our taxpayer dollars have gone."

I know I've said this before, but this is hands-down one of the most important books I've ever read (and is beautifully written and reported, too). Get your paperback copy of There Is No Place For Us:

Carter was first US President born in hospital.

Hegseth today: We don't actually have any clear purpose or guideposts or objectives in mind, the metrics are shifting...but "we are just getting started." Yikes.

"Footage shows an attack carried out by the Israeli military in Lebanon targeting homes and civilian sites. The Israeli attacks have caused a large-scale displacement in southern Lebanon as well as dozens of casualties and injuries"(PalTimes News) #Lebanon #Israel

Americans watched as federal agents killed two Minnesotans. Now their families have to watch Kristi Noem continue to lie about it. www.nbcnews.com/video/noem-a...

Dallas County voters, polling hours have been extended until 9 PM CT. If you're in line, stay in line! Your polling place may have changed since the last time you voted, and you MUST vote at your assigned precinct. Go to IWillVote.com/TX to find your polling place.

This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*

Children make up more than 40% of the state’s SNAP recipients, and the number of kids receiving benefits in January fell by one-third compared to October. #Arizona #SNAP #poverty www.abc15.com/news/state/a...

The global reproductive rights organization Ipas will be receiving "multi millions" from TED's Audacious Project. This is the first time the project has funded an organization that works specifically in abortion access and care since the initiative was developed in 2018.

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

That’s the factual spine under the line “ICE is un‑American and must be held accountable … from senior admin leaders to the thugs in the streets”: the violence isn’t a glitch; it’s built into how the agency is being used. 'Record high': Staggering number of Republicans now support abolishing ICE

Trump's Deputy Attorney General has rescinded the Biden Justice Department's policy that tightly restricted when law enforcement agents executing a search could take the exceptional step of bursting into a home without knocking first — known as no-knock warrants. www.ms.now/news/justice...

Once more with feeling…

President Trump on Tuesday acknowledged the deep uncertainty about what comes next in Iran, saying that officials whom the United States had eyed as potential new leaders had been killed in the U.S.-Israeli bombing campaign. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/w...

I bet Karoline Leavitt won't want to talk about the Dow today as stocks tumble. Currently: 47,815.61 -1,089.17 (-2.23%) So instead let's talk about those Trump/ Epstein files.

Today in Iran…

The new leader of Iran…we don’t want him. They can have him.

Trump’s war in Iran is not smart, not legal, not morally right and not in our national interest. Congress must act and vote for the Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution.

Happy Holi! To all who celebrate, wishing you a Holi filled with joy and lots of color!

More of this, please

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to. Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this. open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

Today the race is on. I’m counting on your support to defeat the AIPAC-backed quarter billionaire who bought this seat. Can you pitch in whatever you can? secure.actblue.com/donate/lande...

The way Hillary Clinton reduced fascist republicans to nothing and refused to take any of their vile bullshit whilst delivering truth jabs is exactly why they didn’t allow her to testify publicly. They’ve spent over a decade trying to blame her for crimes their tyrant has done.

I need to stress something here: The US destroying Iran’s navy is about as impressive as prime Michael Jordan dunking on a toddler. I know the administration needs something to brag about, but this outcome was literally never in question.

It's infuriating and frankly disrespectful to call our modern-day Gestapo, aka ICE, "law enforcement officers." They're nothing of the sort. Real law enforcement protects (or should protect) people. ICE terrorizes them.

Trump thinks bombing Iran will cause a revolution. He's an ignorant moron. In the face of a foreign invasion by the US and Israel, the citizens of Iran are consolidating their support for the regime, not trying to overthrow it. Nothing brings people together like a threat from outside.

RAJU: You'll concede this is war? MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We haven't declared war. They declared war on us RAJU: The president called it war and Secretary Hegseth called it war REPORTER: When you walked up just now, you called it war MULLIN: Okay. That was a misspoke.

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 🧵

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.

IMPORTANT!!! There has been a location change for the NEW YORK CITY March 7th National Day of Action rally!!! The rally is now happening in City Hall Park from 12:00pm to 2:00pm. Visit standupforscience.net/march7 to learn more! #March7NYC #standupforscience #science #savescience #rally

Wow. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem tells Americans they’re on their own.

@educationmn.bsky.social member Kristen shares her thoughts on Secretary Kristi Noem’s testimony on Capitol Hill today: “She told only lies, and never took accountability for the mistakes she’s made in destroying the lives of our students.”

🤥 @KristiNoem today: “I didn’t call Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist.” FLASHBACK: she sure did 👇🏽

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

Tom Tillis has been DESTROYING Noem for the last five minutes.

Is this bad? It seems bad.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

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

Won't work #PedophileTrump #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Of course there's a cover-up. Drumpf2.0 has allowed over 50 ICE/CPB in-custody deaths--a 20 years high. Ice/CPB has killed at least 8 people not in custody. Call Senators. No DHS funding until ICE changes. Their illegal, unwarranted war changes nothing. #voices4Victory #USDemocracy

SHAHEEN: You wrote an article titled, 'Why not to attack Iran.' Do you agree with Trump leaving door open for boots on the ground? COLBY: The president has reserved the right -- SHAHEEN: I want to know what you think COLBY: Well, I'm a lieutenant of the president so I'm keyed on his intent
