[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone] Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.

Karoline Leavitt told us the US State Department was helping Americans stranded in the Middle East. She lied. One Texas woman in Dubai called the State Department hotline, was scolded for being scared and then hung up on. This administration is *full* of incompetent, rude people.

AOC: It’s beyond just the American service members who have tragically died in this, and our hearts do go out in prayer to their families, but also the over 100 Iranian schoolgirls who have been killed in these attacks, and the countless people who are affected, possibly displaced as well.

it turns out there are downsides to handing absolute power to the stupidest, most corrupt, cruelest, most bigoted fools and cretins in the country who campaigned on seeking nothing but vengeance and destruction who coulda thunk it

Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop? Full breakdown: youtube.com/watch?v=lTSCC_9-FpY

Students across the province are protesting recent changes to the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) — the post-secondary financial aid system will go from a majority grant structure to a majority loan structure in the new school year. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

LIEU: Did Amalia commit a crime? NOEM: She did not. She's with her family LIEU: The reason she's with her family is because she almost died in ICE detention until folks brought a lawsuit forcing her release

Jayapal: DHS is supposed to be protecting our residents. You have actually turned the United States government against its own residents. Yours is a case of failed leadership secretary, you need to resign, be fired, or be impeached.

Raskin tears Kristi Noem a new one: "Apparently when your blankie was left on one of the govt jets and not transported to the new one, your special govt employee, Corey Lewandowski, chivalrously stepped forward to fight the pilot -- mid air!"

Raskin is HEATED at Noem

ELECTION TAMPERING AND VOTER SUPPRESSION Listen up! What's happening in Texas...during voting We cannot afford to have this sorta shit happen again. We need to be ready and on top of shit.

We should also start making plans well in advance of any election to help friends who need it to get a ride to the polls. Preferably early in those states that have early voting.

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to. Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Spain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse. 1/2

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

BREAKING: The Texas Secretary of State DID NOT UPDATE the precinct maps on their website last December. MY GOD @msnowreports.bsky.social

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

🚨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/...

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin? NOEM: Yes WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that? NOEM: No.

What the Hell does that mean? He stood with the illegal attack and now he’s trying to what? Walk some of it back! Too late. You never support Trump. Period. 🪶😡💔🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇮🇷 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

SUPER SHOCKED: Israel and the Saudis lobbied Trump to start the war. As @maddow.bsky.social asked: who benefits? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I was alive during the Carter administration, and I remember Reagan getting the hostages released right on time for his election and declaring victory over Iran. The GOP is watching the war they started spinning wildly out of control, and this transparent propaganda is fooling NO ONE.

Racism, sexism, hate and stupidity are the reasons why we all aren’t enjoying the benefits of a Kamala Harris Presidency and are instead in fear and horror during the orange felon’s vengeful trashy murderous dictatorship and the American state media is fully complicit in that.

🤥 @KristiNoem today: “I didn’t call Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist.” FLASHBACK: she sure did 👇🏽

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.

Americans watched as federal agents killed two Minnesotans. Now their families have to watch Kristi Noem continue to lie about it. www.nbcnews.com/video/noem-a...

DURBIN: How does taking dad from child dying of cancer qualify as a violent crime? NOEM: I don't know what you're speaking of D: Ruben Torres 2 weeks ago buried his daughter. When he was arrested at Home Depot, he said, 'Please. My daughter is dying.' They deported him. Was he a violent criminal?

Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.

we’ve reached the point where the american system of government seems no longer to exist at the federal level. the executive no longer abides by our laws and clearly hates our constitution. congress has demonstrated a similar contempt. the constitution is a dead letter except where convenient.

Please don’t forget to vote today! Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina are kicking off the 2026 midterm cycle with their primary elections.

Stansbury: “Ppl are asking Congress, why haven't you prosecuted — why have you not turned the Epstein files into Epstein trials That's bc the job of doing so is the job of the DOJ — they're failing to comply with the Transparency Act — and now they're covering up files that implicate the president”

Jesus. F*cking. Christ.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

At least 111 substances of unknown safety have been added to foods, drinks and supplements sold in the United States without alerting the US Food and Drug Administration, a new investigation found. www.cnn.com/2026/03/03/h...

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

Over a month has passed since we demanded information about the Minnesota children held in federal detention facilities. We have not received a response. We will not stay silent while Donald Trump and Kristi Noem imprison children. www.fox9.com/news/gov-wal...

Trump has no plan. This is a damning summary from The Economist’s Middle East Correspondent Gregg Carlstrom.

Homeland Security wants Social Media sites to expose Anti-ICE Accounts!!!! The Government is trampling on our CIVIL LIBERTIES!!!!! #ICE #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
