If what it takes for Republican elected leaders to locate a basic modicum of decency is to retire well...win/win.

And there it is …

The problem is that this admin never plans ahead because they play checkers not chess. bsky.app/profile/atru...

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

🚨BREAKING: Hundreds of Democratic voters in Dallas and Williamson Counties, Texas scrambled to find their polling places Tuesday after the local Republican parties refused to hold a joint primary — ending more than a decade of convenient countywide voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I’m running for the U.S. Senate because I’ve got the experience it takes to beat Susan Collins, and the backbone to stand up to the President. Thank you for being in this fight with me — together, we will give Maine the leadership it deserves.

Always make time to sexually harass your employees, even in times of crisis

Rubio screwed up Sunday by saying the quiet part out loud. Then shit hit the fan - especially with MAGA. It caused problems for Netanyahu. Now he’s trying to say that what he said he didn’t really say. It’s on video. He said what he said. Now he’s lying. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

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 🧵

The net worth of the top 0.1 percent doubled from 2020 to a collective sum of $24.9 trillion in the third quarter of 2025, and now accounts for 14.4 percent of the total household wealth, according to the Federal Reserve.

A little confused by "instead" here. The saying isn't "fuck around, instead find out"

People born in 1990 are twice as likely as those born in 1950 to develop colon cancer, and four times as likely to develop rectal cancer. Aren't microplastics great?

Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said. Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

The United States gave Netanyahu over $24 billion in taxpayer dollars to fund his horrific war in Gaza. That wasn't enough. Netanyahu wanted war with Iran. Trump gave him one. The American people — not Netanyahu’s right-wing government — should determine U.S. foreign policy.

Per the Texas Democratic Party, nearly a third of Williamson and Dallas County voters are being turned away when they try to vote due to confusion over polling locations, caused by Republicans opting not to hold countywide unified Joint Primaries.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

I was just watching some of the Bill and Hillary deposition footage and its really striking/disturbing how much the Clintons clearly come off younger and in better shape than either of our two recent presidents.

Trump, suffering from dementia, is confused about where his father was born. It was in the Bronx, not in Germany. Trump's grandfather was an immigrant who came here after getting kicked out of Germany for evading the draft.

BLUMENTHAL: Is the agent who shot Ms Martinez sill on the job? NOEM: Our officers conduct operations every day- B: Is he still on the job carrying a gun? N: I dunno B: Would you agree he shouldn't be? N: I'll get back to you B: I think Americans would find it absolutely terrifying if he is

Kristi Noem on Alex Pretti: "I did not call him a domestic terrorist. I said it appeared to be an incident of." Also Kristi Noem: " This individual…committed an act of domestic terrorism. That's the facts.”

Breaking Axios: Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, once a neighbor of Jeffrey Epstein, has agreed to a closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee over his ties to Epstein — ties that continued after Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitution from a minor.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it. We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

The reason this guy can’t explain what the war is about is he can’t remember anything and is so totally gaga that he is unaware even how gaga he is and sits around self impressed laying our world to waste.

You’ll notice I did not 1. Refer to Tillis as a hero 2. Say that people shouldn’t be held accountable 3. Say that I support Tillis 4. Say that he was the only one that ripped her a new asshole 5. Congratulate Tillis

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.

Trump's dad was in fact born in New York City

Questioned by Durbin, Noem wouldn't retract her false claims that Alex Pretti and Renée Good were domestic terrorists, but didn't repeat the claim and claimed she got that information from "agents on the ground," ie blaming them for the lies.

UPDATE: A warehouse in Durant, OK rumored to be under consideration for purchase by ICE has been pulled from several commercial listing portals. A representative from the Bryan County assessor's office confirmed to me this morning that no sale has been recorded. Monitoring closely.

FORTY-SEVEN NEIGHBORS shackled and loaded onto this Global X ICE flight today at Baltimore’s BWI. There are four ICE flights a week now taking our Maryland neighbors to detention centers down South.

Sen. Tillis is 🔥 But make no mistake, we’re not agreeing with Republicans; they are finally catching up and agreeing with us!

New: Democrats say they won't relent on DHS funding demands because of Iran war "No," says ANGUS KING of GOP push. OSSOFF, lone Dem running in Trump-won state, says agents "shouldn’t be assaulting or killing Americans with impunity." Dynamic unchanged. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

You have to watch this.

Kennedy: "You blamed those statements on Mr. Stephen Miller at the White House. Did you not?" Noem: "I did not… I've never said that at all." Kennedy: "You said on the record, 'Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen.'" Noem: "No one has heard me say that."

serious question @kenwhite.bsky.social does perjury come into play in this room

NEW: With Marimar Martinez standing right behind her, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told the Senate Judiciary Committee she was not “familiar with the details” of Martinez’s shooting by Border Patrol in Chicago and unaware whether the agent was still on duty. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/03/03/d...

For people tuning into the Noem hearing and acting surprised to see their Democratic Senators standing up for the US Constitution and rule of law, I’d remind you that this is who most of these “establishment Dems” have always been and you haven’t been paying attention to the work they actually do.

This really ought to be terrifying. We literally have people making decisions to drop bombs in the grips of apocalyptic fantasies.

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Pathological inability to comprehend anyone else’s consent, autonomy or agency is the dominant theme of his life

FLAG NYT: The Trump admin just indicated that it plans to renew its defense of executive orders it had leveled against law firms that refused to capitulate to Trump — a sharp reversal a day after indicating that it would drop that fight in court. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/u...

As I discussed on KET’s Kentucky Tonight, part of our childcare solution is the responsible expansion of Pre-K. By building a high-quality system that works for families, we ensure every Kentucky child can thrive earlier and every parent has the reliable options they need to stay in the workforce.

The most dangerous man in the world.

Q: Commercial air travel is severely restricted in the Middle East. Thousands of Americans are stranded. Why wasn't there an evacuation plan? TRUMP: Because it happened all very quickly

It's ominous that you can read entire pieces about what the US stands to gain/lose from this war that don't contain a single syllable about the damage to democracy that will be done by letting Trump illegally launch the largest invasion in decades without Congress having input of any kind.

Trump: "I guess the worst case is we do this and then somebody takes over who is as bad as the previous person. That could happen."

See, the thing is we haven’t been—not because past presidents were perfect angels or thrilled with Iran, but because they didn’t want to close the Strait of Hormuz, evacuate American civilians from the whole region, and set the world economy on fire.

As I wrote yesterday, this whole thing is about owning Iran's oil However, no one in charge actualy has any idea how much of the world depends on Iranian oil for economic stability If China and India's economy are negatively effected by the closing of Hormuz (and they would be), it hurts us too
