Stat: Trump bloviated that his drug discount TrumpRx is “One of the most transformative health care initiatives of all time”. In reality, few drugs are available, data about how much the site is being used is not available, and the private deals underpinning TrumpRx are still not worked out.

There are over 3,800 children locked up in ICE concentration camps (calling it what they are). Here are children who passed while in ICE custody. May they rest in peace. Kristi Noem must be held accountable before this number grows exponentially. #KillerNoem

Shifting excuses: 1. Rubio said Iran would retaliate for Israeli attacks by attacking Americans 2. Next day, Trump says he had a “feeling” Iran was about to attack the US, so he attacked first 3. Trump did it to protect Iranian demonstrators 4. Witkoff said Iran would have nukes in a week

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

The Treaty of Tripoli (1797) famously states in Article 11 that the U.S. government is "not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion" Good to know.

The kind of advanced planning that may take years to go into effect, but is important as part of a strategy to preserve democracy –

Let’s write to BLM in Oregon and save the old growth forests

To be clear, whenever fascist republican scum like Karoline Leavitt mention President Obama’s middle name Hussein, it’s not to show respect, it’s for white supremacy purposes and to somehow paint him as complicit with terrorists. Their white hoods are always on display.

Some places U.S. elitists told Americans to die in for "freedom": the Philippines, Mexico, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Iraq 1 & 2, Afghanistan, Honduras, Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, DR, Guatemala, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Iran 1 & 2, Argentina, Chile, Columbia, Turkey, & El Salvador.

Just heard Trevor Noah say, there should be a rule in America that if you hate immigrants, you don’t get to eat their food. I like this rule😊

That's Noem, Lewandowski, and Bovino out. Wannabe fascists, perhaps, but you are not living in a fascist country. Public pressure, embarassment, legislative opposition - all of them helped to turf these folks. That's what I mean by "the levers of democracy still work and you should use them."

And she's out, not even an hour later. Trump is presenting Mullin's appointment as automatic, but he still has to go through Senate confirmation hearings like everyone else. They're usually deferential to their colleagues, but I think this guy for this post in this election year might prompt issues

You can take action, @radiofreetom.bsky.social ! "Most airlines state that a passenger over the age of 5 can be removed from a flight for being barefoot. Had I known this, I would have started hitting the call button and complaining a long time ago." www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/05/l...

"Demand is so great that programs to mentor attorneys to file habeas cases are emerging... “I’m on all these listservs where people are saying, who can help me in Arizona, who can help me in Mississippi, and people are stepping up and helping each other...” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“You’re a U.S. senator!” Bernie stops Noem’s replacement from literally trying to fight someone👇🏽 This should go great

Tragic news from #Upemba National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo & I can’t find coverage! On 3 March 2026, armed assailants attacked the park headquarters in #Lusinga. 5 staff members were murdered, more staff were kidnapped including the Park Director, Tina Lain. #UpembaNationalPark

Well would you look at that

Just saw this on another platform. Overseas military folks getting prenatal care are being told that the ‘host nation’ must provide this, but only after 36 weeks (just shy of 9 months). Landstuhl is not remotely a hardship tour. I think we all know what’s going on here.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

James Talarico tonight: "It doesn't matter what happens in this Republican runoff. We already know who we're running against: The billionaire mega-donors and their corrupt political system. Not any one politician ... We are running against the broken system and the powerful people who broke it."

The White House seems to think Trump's war with Iran is a video game. The White House shared a video online promoting its ongoing operations. In addition to using real footage from recent attacks, the video includes a killstreak animation from 2023's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

New on MS NOW: The war with Iran is costing the U.S. an estimated $1 billion a day, according to two congressional sources with knowledge of the matter. Based on that estimate, the U.S. has spent at least $5 billion on the war since it began on Feb. 28.

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement. The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual. It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

So try. Try for the thousands of mothers and fathers and sons and daughters you've never met. Try because they're people full of life and love and hope and goodness--and yes, badness too--just like you are. I don't know what to say at this point, except that I still remember. FIN

And right now, people are wailing like that from Iran to the Mediterranean Sea--and beyond. That's what War is. It's violence and destruction and death, but above all it's a human being undergoing the worst the world can offer, screaming in all the languages of the world. 10/

There is nothing that will tear at your humanity more, that will make you doubt there is a god but believe mankind is the devil, than hearing that wail from a wife or daughter or sister who has just watched their whole world vanish in a fraction of a second. I hope to never hear it again. 9/

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

“Strategic Competition” with the CCP is a laughable concept when they’re sprinting to hedge against the exact kind of geopolitical shock the WH is now scrambling to mitigate. These fools. Absolute fools.

Have they considered widespread electrification, loans and loan guarantees to solar and wind and nuclear projects, and somewhat robust vehicular mileage standards to compel more efficiency? Is *the exact model of the IRA* under the rock, or is it just one rock with “Drill Baby Drill” written on it?

“I’d rather have a Fajr-2 for tea than let the NHS touch what I, a self-made man, earned all on my own. Yes, my father is a peer and my mother was a Bond girl. What of it” - overheard, Emirates Business Class Lounge

Rough. OF stars might pull down the same quarterly profit as a storied chain. Don’t make performative extremely online conservatives cry, I guess?

If only the United States had a combatant command dedicated to defense in Europe, like a European Command - maybe even a Supreme Allied Commander for Europe, someone who could watch and learn what's happening on the battlefield and apply it elsewhere.

No, it’s worse. It’s a war without a political objective. Plenty of wars have opened without a clear plan to reconcile desired ends with available means, we may be the first country to go to war without even a basic concept of victory. War for the memes. War for the vibes. War for the Warriors.

in fairness that's not exactly DoD's job on paper, but that's also why you have an interagency involving State and others that scopes the bounds for a conflict which are transmitted from the APNSA to SD; this is what happens when instead of that you have 3 marcos rubio in a trenchcoat

Happy St Piran's Day, one and all!
