I made this point earlier: Trump's Iran invasion is completely inconsistent with both his National Defense Strategy (discussed here) and his National Security Strategy, both of which effectively say, "We've solved the Middle East!!!"

💥Russian “Geran-2” Drones Found After Iranian Attack on Dubai Fragments of “Geran-2” drones appeared near port of Jebel Ali in Dubai. These drones are a Russian-modified version of Shahed-136, produced at a factory in Alabuga, Tatarstan. Read more 👀 theukrainianreview.info/russian-gera...

Even before this matchup Paxton has been catching heat from gop members in Texas. But it is surprising how much money Cornyn had to spend just barely edge out a 1% advantage going into a runoff. Just hoping they damage each other so badly they can’t recover after the runoff.

How about sending all the ICE agents they already have a whole 47 days of training. I’d bet they could get a couple more days & be considered trained.

Elect clowns, get a circus! Elect criminals, get crime! Elect morons, get stupidity! All the above, get moronic criminal clowns! #usdemocracy www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHqU...

#ProudBlue #USDemocracy Live !!! #Noem "Judge ICE" Noem pretend that ICE is making America safe again Judge Yourself

Paxton already has republicans in the state legislature mad at him. I don’t know how that relates to the public. I’m sure Paxton will sling dirt & call Cornyn a rino. Cornyn will be going on about fraud, infidelity, & wasted money from his failed lawsuits. I hope they slime each other badly.

MAGA SAYS IT'S NOT A WAR ❓️And his sexual assault of E Jean Carroll was not a rape ❓️COVID was not a pandemic ❓️Affordability is a hoax ❓️His health is excellent ❓️Melania is not his wife ❓️'Micro' does not mean tiny when referring to his dick #USDemocracy youtu.be/yc1xF6HTiYs?...

Listen to the heartbreaking story of college freshman, 19 year old, Any Lucia Lopez Belloza a DACA recipient who was accidentally deported on her way home for the Thanksgiving break & then put through the emotional ringer by #ICELawlessness. ICE tried to lure her back to the US to deport her again

Listen to Senator Murphy articulate exactly why we shouldn't be funding #ICELawlessness & repeat these messages when you call your 2 Senators & Representative at 202-225-3121 or Google their district office & while you're at it call local officials as well. Make sure your lawmakers hear yourvoice!

WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed. She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone. Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

One thing people don’t think about is even after the war is over the human costs for those who served continue on. When you have to rely on crowd funding or starting charities to help veterans who served the government has a problem.

Sen. Murphy: They told us in there that this is an open-ended operation that hasn't even really started... they refuse to take off of the table the insertion of ground troops ... there is no question that this is war.

Sen. Kelly: Sending young men and women to war is consequential. As a carrier pilot, we knew some of us might not come back. Trump is at Mar-a-Lago talking about his ballroom and playing golf.

Hoping they’ll tear each other apart making both of them unelectable.

Marco Rubio put Americans at risk and then abandoned them. He must be held accountable. #SheShed #Voices4Victory

This sh*t doesn’t happen in other rich countries that are actual democracies, where people just vote, all major parties refrain from lying about mass voter fraud & constant attempts at mass disenfranchisement, & everyone’s vote just gets cast & counted. We don’t have to live this way, either.

The Texas Supreme Court just blocked the judge’s order that would have kept Democratic polls open until 9 p.m. But don't let them trick you: anyone who was in line by 7PM STILL has the legal right to vote and have it counted. Anyone after will have their vote collected, but counting isn’t certain.

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

"At some point, a lot of them just say forget about it... I gotta feed my cat." @stephruhle.bsky.social on the impact on voter turnout after a county GOP change confused hundreds of voters who were redirected from polling locations in Dallas.

Texas is close to not being a functioning democracy It’s the hardest place to vote because Republicans have put impediments in place based on totally bogus vote fraud concerns - that they just make up The courts have become complicit in this effort What we’re seeing in Texas now is a disgrace

Statements from both candidates.

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.

Other than that it was a great plan.🙄

Texas. They screwed up my wife’s voter id maiden name. She brought in birth & marriage certificates trying to get it corrected to no avail. It took years to correct & that was only after we moved to another county.

This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans. I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess. Info in 🧵

When even the MAGA crowd turns on the war machine… Bannon, Megyn Kelly, and MTG rage over a war with Iran. Watch ‘MS NOW’ break it down. #IranWar 👉

This is ENRAGING. Not only did they start an illegal war-without notifying Congress-in which 6 American soldiers and many civilians have died, creating chaos because they have no plan for what happens next But they left Americans in the Middle East completely stranded and vulnerable on top of it

The only endgame he has thought about is a Gaza beach hotel/resort.

Also, almost everything he says is a lie. The US gave Ukraine far less than he claims, and has not given anything for a year. Biden did restart weapons manufacturing all over the country. There are still shortages of air defense ammunition, everywhere, because it takes a long time to make.

The Long Predicted Texas Blue Wave Is Here We Are Seeing A Huge Democratic Turnout In Early Primary Voting Early Primary Vote Totals: Democrats: 1,503,212 Republicans: 1,279,805 Democratic voter turnout increase: 240% over 2022 252% over 2024 Vote March 3rd open.substack.com/pub/lonestar...

Been wondering this myself.

Sorry "blue no matter who" after the primary is exactly how you get to the place you want That's VERY LITERALLY how Republicans got to where they are. Sure, primary away. But the second the primary is over and it's the general? You need to shut the fuck up and punch a straight party ticket.

Follow the money. This media merger / government support/ billionaire monopoly stinks to high heaven. #pinks #sheshed

I had my preference on who wins today when I voted. I’ve stayed out of the public on who I’ve voted for. One of the reasons I have is no matter which democrat wins the primary I’ll be proud voting for them. Cornyn is a disaster, Paxton would be even a bigger disaster, & corruption.

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Donnie once said he was smarter than all the generals. Hegseth is trying to make it a truth.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

If you know Mark Warner, you know this is a pretty serious statement. He is EXTREMELY level-headed and doesn’t make hyperbolic statements. He is from a state with a bunch of military contractors too. If he is mad about this, then imagine how mad everyone else is.

It’s Primary Day, Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina!!!! Go vote if you haven’t yet!!!

All you need is the willingness to follow orders; being actually smart or good at the law is irrelevant.

Without warning, the temporary turbines began running day and night, locals say, to power Musk’s AI ambitions “I intended to die right here,” said Gossett, 76, who wonders how long he will have to put up with the noise & the air pollution. “Hell, I couldn’t give my house away with all this noise.”
