I know this community very well. The Shenandoah club the Temple Israel statement refers to as providing food and shelter during this attack is the club established by Iraqi Chaldeans. This is really beautiful interfaith solidarity in action.

Apart from the moral repugnance, this is so revealing of how ignorant conservatives are about poverty. Poor people have to think about money ALL THE TIME. They worry constantly about what everything costs, how to substitute one purchase for another, what bill can be put off until payday, etc.

A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files. The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.

If you need to get a clear and thorough insight into #Epsteinfiles , this is excellent

Representative Frost was fabulous in this interview.

The Trump administration says there will be no more Epstein files released. Over half of the 6 million documents remain sealed. Pam Bondi’s response: “The DOJ is done.”

Their example compels us to do everything it takes in our time to move America toward its deepest values and its great promise, still too often unfulfilled, of liberty and justice for all.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Donald Trump lowered our Flags to half-staff for Charlie Kirk but not for the 6 troops we lost in Kuwait.

Last 14 months of Biden's term: +1.74m jobs First 14 months of Trump's term: 150,000 jobs (total! for the whole 14 months!) www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month. Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030. That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail. Share:

If you ever think your vote doesn’t count…

Trump is lying. I serve on the Intel & Armed Services Committees. There’s no intelligence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S. or the American people.

When FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

This war will do nothing to help - and will very likely make things worse - when it comes to the biggest challenges we face at home. Trump or his wealthy friends won’t pay the price. It will fall on service members and their families, on taxpayers, and on working Americans already stretched thin.

Minnesota would like a word.

Trump Wants You to Get Used to This. Don’t. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/o...

Now you know why we are where we are today. Last year, he said we destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. That was another lie.

Donald Trump has learned nothing from decades of endless war. I went to war three times for this country. Working class folks will pay the price of his military adventurism. Americans are sick of it. I’m sick of it.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

When US President Donald Trump addressed the American people on Tuesday night, he claimed that Iran is “working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America.” That assertion is not backed up by US intelligence, sources told CNN. https://cnn.it/4tZsgoD

Where are we on this?

Look where so many people falling for the excuse that “it was only locker room talk” has gotten us.

THIS.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

Follow the money. And IIRC, Epstein accused his friend Trump of laundering money for the Russians when he bought the estate Epstein wanted in Florida.

Hey @hcrichardson.bsky.social! Can you help us get the word out about our SECOND National Day of Action on March 7th?? #standupforscience

Klobuchar: "One of the things that most struck me about this State of the Union is that he spent only 2.9 minutes talking about affordability out of an hour and 47 minute speech, and 3.9 minutes talking about healthcare. These are the number one issues on the minds of people."

We don't always have to wait for an election to see results. Last week I met Granite Staters raising their voice against this proposed ICE detention facility. Today, they won: the Trump administration gave up. Never underestimate your own power in moments like these.

The Trump tariffs are the highest tax increase on the American public since World War II Yes, you read that correctly What's worse, he did it while taking health insurance away from 20 million people And giving $75 billion to ICE so they can hunt US citizens #TrumpTariffChaos

This is one of those legal moments where headlines alone won’t inform you. The details matter. I’ve written a careful breakdown in Civil Discourse for readers who want to understand.

The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.

ALERT: Starting Sunday at 6AM ET, The Department of Homeland Security is suspending TSA PreCheck and Global Entry due to the agency shutdown. If you’re flying this week…get to the airport EARLY. Security lines are about to get a lot longer.

It is notable that Andrew has been arrested for 'misconduct in public office,' which is precisely what the US Supreme Court decided no American president can ever be charged with. - The Economist's Matt Steinglass

When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come. Not only is she supporting the SAVE Act, but during the Biden administration she opposed the For the People Act and the Joe Manchin compromise bill — the Freedom to Vote Act.

On Feb. 5, a 2-lb. bag of coffee cost $19.99 at Costco. Just two weeks later, that same item costs $23.99, a 20% increase. The affordability crisis is most definitely not a hoax.

This should be a bigger story. More than 15,000 American farms shut down in 2025.

I'm retching. This is very little different from Soviet Russia and Lenin/Stalin statutes everwhere.

Poor Prince Andrew. If he lived in America, Pam Bondi and Kash Patel would’ve covered for him.

I believe I know this story from my family's history in Europe.

Wow.

If you think you’re having a terrible Valentine’s Day, remember that Theodore Roosevelt’s mother and his first wife both died on the SAME DAY: Feb. 14, 1884. “The light has gone out of my life,” he recorded in his diary that day. Image: Public domain.

Right now, we have a tax code that forces firefighters and teachers to pay a higher share of their income than many billionaires and major corporations. We need to change that - because our economy requires it, and because it is simply the right thing to do.

Admin Officials in the Epstein Files: Donald J. Trump Melania Trump Howard Lutnick (Commerce) John Phelan (Navy) Paolo Zampolli (Kennedy Center) RFK Jr. (HHS) Kevin Warsh (Fed Nom) Mehmet Oz (CMS) Elon Musk (Fmr DOGE) Steve Bannon (Fmr WH) Alex Acosta (Fmr Labor) Bill Barr (Fmr AG)

So, Jack Smith working with a subpoena to acquire general phone logs is a breech of privacy but the DOJ can just randomly spy on the congress people and their computer searches for no apparent reason? The cognitive dissonance of these people never ceases to astonish me.

Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.
