Remember all those times Trump & Vance said they wouldn’t drag America into another war? They LIED. Their actions today put American lives at risk, undermine our broader interests around the world, & will cost taxpayers billions of dollars.

I will never understand why anyone in the military would want this guy as their commander in chief. He’s going to get a lot of them killed in this one before it’s all over. Of course it’s called “Epic”. One of his favorite words. www.npr.org/2026/02/28/n...

Just like the Republicans to bet on a Black Woman not being able to win. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

President Trump “misused the State of the Union ritual in ways so radical as to call the ritual itself into question,” @davidfrum.bsky.social argues:

At a time of massive income & wealth inequality Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” gave a $1 trillion tax break to the 1% while taking healthcare away from 15 million Americans. Working families will die so that the very rich get even richer. Yes. We need a wealth tax on billionaires.

If AI eliminates a massive number of jobs, the consequences won’t stop at the economy—they will “test political institutions that have already shown how brittle they can be,” Josh Tyrangiel reports: theatln.tc/dJ29sokd

Donald Trump has a pattern of insisting that a situation is so serious that it requires unprecedented action—and then walking away when he encounters pushback, @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily:

”People speak sometimes about the 'bestial' cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky - Thread 4/5🧵

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

Pam Bondi made it clear today that she doesn’t feel any obligation to report to Congress about the egregious behavior of the judicial department. The Republicans made it clear they will condone all the lies and abuse just to stay in her good graces. Sounds like an autocracy to me.

The Trump administration censored this report. Why? They don’t want you to know just how much of a mess they’ve made with student loans.

If a quiet method of mineral exploration is successful, it could thread a loophole in the law governing public lands, helping open these areas for mining that much more quickly—and controversially, Lauren Steele reports.

Trump shares late-night video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes

During a dive last year in the Atlantic Ocean off Argentina, researchers documented a giant phantom jelly, a deep-sea species rarely seen since it was discovered a little over a century ago. “There was a mixture of excitement and disbelief,” said one marine biologist. trib.al/HfkWfp4

The MAGA new right “seems to be betting that the American polity has a deep reserve of untapped nativist rage”—but may also be “underestimating the everyday decency and patriotism of the American public,” Laura K. Field argues:

Washington Post Subscribers Cancel En Masse After Bezos Names Melania Editor open.substack.com/pub/borowitz...

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Over the past several months, Congress has abused the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to strip protections from millions of acres of America’s public lands. Most recently, the House voted to reopen the door to toxic mining near Minnesota’s Boundary Waters.

This is one way to keep warm in cold Wyoming

At least some federal judges are still willing to stand up to the Trump Regime to tell the truth. Full opinion at: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you live in any of the many iced up, ice cold states and you can afford and procure bird food, put it out. You can just throw it in the ground if you don’t have a feeder. They are desperate for food.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.
