Dan Crenshaw has been ousted from Congress. The AP called the #TX09 primary for Steve Toth, one of the most far-right members of the Texas House.

She just lost the primary— overwhelmingly— to this guy

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE. Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

Shelly Willingham and Nasif Majeed, two other Democratic lawmakers who also joined the GOP to help pass conservative priorities (though not the specific ICE bill I'm talking about here), also lost to progressive challengers tonight.

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal." She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%! Context:

U.S. Opens Military Action in Ecuador Against ‘Terrorist Organizations’ The U.S. Southern Command said that the joint activity with Ecuador was an effort to “combat the scourge of narco-terrorism,” but did not provide other details about the operation. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/u...

Some are heeding Ari's warning that Trump is ALREADY interfering in the 2026 elections. But what Alito & the MAGA court are about to hand down soon could gut the Voting Rights Act of 1965 before November, sending 19 House districts towards the GOP. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Watch this.

Even by his standards Alito’s opinion in NY redistricting case last night was totally unhinged. If he’s writing majority opinion in Voting Rights Act case that’s very very bad news www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

On March 2, President Trump submitted his war powers report notifying Congress of the Feb. 28 U.S.-Israeli joint strikes against Iran. It does not address why the military carried out the attack without prior congressional authorization. Read the report, from Olivia Manes.

If I read this correctly, DOJ waited until just before its brief was due to ask to dismiss, then about-faced the next day and is going to try to use that to get an extension on its brief. There are less humiliating ways to get an extension on your brief, like saying you needed emergency ass surgery

What.

Again, we're almost done and no Dem has asked Noem why Tricia McLaughlin not only lied literally, as a rule, but also repeatedly refused to retract statements about accused criminals (note Noem has not retracted either, including about Kilmar Abrego).

Adam Schiff asks Noem who told her that Good and Pretti were engaged in terrorism. Sadly, he did not ask specifically whether Greg Bovino was involved.

LOL: Schiff notes that Kristi Noem's propaganda was more expensive than a lot of movies. www.propublica.org/article/kris...

1. The Supreme Court just handed down its 5th anti-trans decision in less than a year. It could lead to forced outing of trans youth across the country, with 40 cases pending that it may impact. It also forces CA teachers to misgender some trans students. Subscribe to support our journalism.

At times like this, I wish I had a huge account, because it makes me nuts to see misinformation go uncorrected. Anyway, Lauren Boebert is painfully dumb.

Trump went from an obviously fake “No More Forever Wars” to “No! More Forever Wars” pretty fast

Big few days for Jan. 6 defendants. One was arrested for threatening an officer who protected the Capitol; one was arrested by Metro Transit Police for assault and battery; another attended a Pentagon briefing.

Starting a 501(c)(3) which does nothing but provide Republicans legislators with framed posters displaying the definition of “treason” for them to put in their offices.

9/9: This may seem hypertechnical, but it underscores the broader point I made in "One First" about *both* of the Court's grants of emergency relief last night—that the Republican appointees' impatience is leading them to run over settled legal constraints to reach the merits in these cases. /end

8/9: But he can only make that claim by distorting the order of events, and by igoring the fact that the applicants could have gone back to the Court of Appeals after the Appellate Division's 2/19 ruling, but *chose not to.* Thus, the ground on which Alito rested #SCOTUS's jurisdiction is bollocks.

1/9: In the New York redistricting case, Justice Alito's justification for why #SCOTUS even had *jurisdiction* to issue a stay is based upon a remarkably misleading portrayal of the state court proceedings. I realize this is technical, but I wanted to write a short thread to explain the shadiness:

As I explain via the latest “One First,” the only theme that unites the Supreme Court’s (unrelated) grants of emergency relief Monday night in the California transgender student and New York redistricting cases is what might be called “selective judicial impatience.” And that’s *not* a good thing:

Again, Trump didn't run on "no new wars." He ran on "the wars other people started were stupid but I'm smart." It was about being anti-establishment, not anti-war. In case that wasn't already obvious. From Nov: www.ms.now/opinion/trum...
