1. Apparently the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) is on its way to deployment in the Persian Gulf, but is still more than a week away.

He keeps describing injured troops as ‘people walking around without legs,’ — as if they’re scenery in his story, not human beings who sacrificed everything. If you’re tired of the way he uses wounded veterans to sell his Iran narrative, boost this so people hear his words for themselves.

Everyone should read this.

📌"Our anger should be at a simmering boil at what Black Americans continue to deal with at the polls all across America, and at what certainly happened in Texas yet again Tuesday. NOBODY deserves better than Black voters — the true patriots in America — yet time and time again they get our worst."

This, this, this 👇👇👇

Anders Åslund's analysis is simple, straightforward and correct.

1/7 My Message to Republican Lawmakers You built this. Not the voters. Not the media. YOU. You saw the instability. You saw the narcissism. You saw the appetite for chaos. And...instead of containing it, you harnessed it. You fed it. You rode it.

On a lighter note a few tips about the Irish as St. Patrick's Day approaches: 1st: the three leafed shamrock (representing the Trinity) not the 4 leaf clover (that represents good luck) is a symbol of Ireland. The Irish think you are dense when you post or wear 4 leafed clover on St Patrick's Day

In the criminal justice system, snowball-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Snowball Unit. These are their stories. 🚓

I’m not going to watch Trump’s State of the Union address tonight. I urge you not to, either. Here’s why…

The front walk has been “tackled”. A little narrow at one point but we can at least use the front door. My wife assisted with the shoveling and constantly reminded me to go slow and easy.

Mark Kelly is too classy to tell Pete Hegseth "If we're addressing each other by our former ranks, then get your fucking heels together and say 'Sir' when you address me, Major."

If you missed the exchange between @raskin.house.gov and Pam Bondi today, watch this masterful statement from him on behalf of the Epstein victims: “You are siding with the perpetrators and you are ignoring the victims. That will be your legacy.” Repost if you agree she is the worst AG in history.

The timing of Hegseth’s current anti-Harvard move is likely because of a sudden turn Trump took last week. For months, Trump has attempted to squeeze Harvard for a $200 million settlement (over charges of … well, being Harvard, basically), and his efforts recently seemed to have reached a dead end.

That Budweiser commercial was well done.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

Hochul, Ro Khanna, Pat Ryan calling on impeachment of Kristi Noem. MAKE Trump fire her ... and then demand he fire Stephen Miller who dreamed this whole thing up

Absolutely waste of taxpayer funds to fly Greg Bovino from Minnesota to Davos for a photo op with Creamsicle Caligula.

Unlike Minnesota, Texas and Florida weren’t invaded by lawless, masked “immigration” ICE thugs. That’s because their residents voted for Donald Trump and their governors flatter him. This isn’t about immigration; it’s about deeply damaged Donald’s brittle ego.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Stop saying Trump is threatening tariffs on European countries. He’s threatening tariffs on European *products* – but American companies and people will pay the Trump tax.

“If we need to”…. You fucking need to.

Put another way, this is an admission that ICE officers are so unprofessional and inadequately trained that simply being criticized might cause them to lose control and resort to violence.

😂 this needs to go around again 😂

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

.@PabloReports: What do you make of Kristi Noem calling Renee Good a domestic terrorist? Magaziner: Kristi Noem is an idiot.

Minneapolis, copaganda, and ICE murdering a woman.. The first things cops will go to media with is always a lie..

This thread is awesome!

Zero rhythm. Full effort. Classic Rodney.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

It all started in 1955 with a misprint in a Colorado newspaper and a call to Col. Harry Shoup's secret military hotline. Shoup played along with the tiny voice who called, and a tradition was born. From the NPR archives.

So, CBS has a chance to say WTF was that. But, they’re now sane washing that ranting and raving.

Who are we supposed to buy health insurance from if he decimates the insurance industry?

This guy is going to stroke out on live television.

This is just so stupid.

🚨Indiana Republicans ignore threats from the mob boss in the Oval Office, seat stealing proposal goes down 31-19…

This thread 🧵. WTAF???

People who think like this have no business in the business of war. It's not heroic to watch someone die alone and in pain. It's not honorable to watch someone cry to their God or their mother. We have Laws about such things.

DON’T LET THEM FOOL YOU Black Friday $ sales are higher this year because things are more expensive. So consumers aren’t buying more items, they’re just paying more them.

So it’s not about the drugs????? But Republicans are just gonna shrug while we invade Venezuela because of drugs. What the fuck are we doing? When is it enough with these clowns? Are they willing to burn our entire country down to be king of the ashes? Remove this sociopath.

This right here pretty much sums up where we are as a country.

In a world where Trump punches down, be like Pope Leo and lift people up.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

CNN, NYT, AP, and other media orgs literally have interviewed families of people killed in Caribbean boat strikes, including some who say they were just fishermen. Lies nested within lies, all in service of violating the laws of armed combat, for no evident national interest advancement at all.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1863: Lincoln delivers a 272-word address at the dedication of a military cemetery in Gettysburg, Penn. It became one of the greatest speeches in U.S. history, expressing Lincoln’s conviction that the Civil War was a struggle for a “new birth of freedom.” /1
