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."

there's no excuse for putting your hands on someone like this unless they're trying to hurt someone. all of these people should be fired. all of them should face charges.

We're plundering Venezuela

We’ve got to keep the Epstein victims and survivors centered while we pursue transparency and accountability. Their stories must be told.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #ShoutItOut, here's a robin letting rip. #birds #photography

A bit of research for how that went would benefit everyone. Reduced shipping. Higher costs. Lives lost. Now... it will be worse. The Mad King and his court... could give a damn.

30 years. This video should be on every network.

No War with Iran

Americans are being abandoned by our government in the Middle East. Other countries are actively protecting their citizens, but not the U.S. There was NO plan. They will never be able to convince us that there was one.

@slotkin.senate.gov just seems to reflexively support wars and chaos in the Middle East.

This is what the American military soldiers are sacrificing their lives for. 👇

And - no surprise here - Steve Daines announced his retirement in the shadiest way possible, pulling his re-election filing at the last minute and allowing another candidate (his chosen replacement I’m sure) to file *8 minutes* before the deadline, preventing a GOP primary.

@smith.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com anyone in the Senate going to get this colleague charged with a crime? A US soldier using his first amendment rights has his arm broken by a US Senator.

Part 3.

Part 2, with more from the veteran. Please note that security is perp walking the Marine out of the hearing WITH HIS BROKEN ARM TWISTED BEHIND HIS BACK.

Different angle, showing the lead-up:

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

The Balabac Mouse Deer is a tiny deer 🦌 one of the smallest in the 🌍. They're endangered, may be extinct in #Malaysia 🇲🇾 due to #palmoil #deforestation and #poaching. Support them! #Boycottpalmoil 🌴🙊🔥⛔️ #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect.bsky.social palmoildetectives.com/2021/01/25/b...

And can the families of dead crew members expect that will pay for their loved one's body bag? 🤮

To the crews of those tankers: good luck with the sea mines and drones, but don’t worry. If you’re attacked, your boss is insured.

Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined. Over half goes to private defense contractors. This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.

in case you ever wondered why bsky breaks all the fuckin time and is increasingly a pile of jank bsky.app/profile/why....

Why was there never an investigation? Can you say cover-up? Why would there be a cover-up of 2 alleged murders? Show us the unredracted Epstein files!

🚩 House Oversight just voted 24-19 to SUBPOENA AG Pam Bondi over her half-baked Epstein files release. Key docs still hidden. Redactions everywhere. Powerful names protected. Enough is enough. Tell Congress: FORCE Bondi to release EVERY unredacted file NOW. No more cover-ups! 🔥

Iran strikes are attempt to hijack the global narrative and drown out Epstein and tariffs with the thunder of cruise missiles.

DOJ admits 47,635 Epstein files — including Trump allegations — were removed. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has previously stated that the Justice Department only withheld duplicate files. Which was a lie. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Senate blocks resolution that would have restricted Trump's war in Iran. The Republicans are to blame for this as much as the Epstein administration of the felon. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Five Republicans just voted with Democrats to subpoena AG Bondi over Epstein files. She will now need to sit for a deposition under oath. Trump is losing his grip on his party, over both Epstein and his deepening unpopularity. Keep speaking up. It's working.

NEWS: @robertgarcia.bsky.social announces that Pam Bondi has been subpoenaed by the Oversight Committee to testify regarding the Epstein files.

A new study found that billions fewer #birds are flying through North America compared to a decade ago, and populations are shrinking faster than ever. Even so, a Republican-led House committee is holding a hearing today as part of a plan to undermine the #MigratoryBirdTreatyAct. bit.ly/4rlxx7G

Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Tim Scott want to enact a $200 billion tax cut on capital gains without congressional approval, claiming it will help “everyday Americans.” Baloney. This overwhelmingly benefits the richest Americans — just like their big, ugly bill did.

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!"

#Washington, 4 Mar 2026 Thomas Massie, Republican US congressman: "Bombing a country on the other side of the globe won't make the Epstein files go away." #NetanyahuWarCriminal #BoycottIsrael #TrumpWarCriminal #BoycottUSA #israel Enemy of Humanity

👉27 Republican AGs pushed to delete the climate chapter in a scientific reference manual for judges. 👉16 Republican AGs urged the DOJ to “recommend legislation” to stop climate lawsuits. What do these Attorneys General have in common? They're all members of RAGA, a group that's funded by Big Oil.

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now

Lisa McClain is having her weekly Karen outburst

Ted Lieu to Marco Rubio “You told Americans to depart now via commercial means when you know many airports/airspace are closed — Maybe you should have thought of a frickin’ plan first” Reminder: Four Americans died in Benghazi — six have died & three jets have been shot down in three days in Iran

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.

Good old USofA!

Zionism is one of the greatest threats to humanity.

the kind of thing that gets played at a war crimes trial

In Gaza, hunger invades homes, leaving children to sleep hungry, louder than the bombs. We need food, safety, and the world’s attention. Please don’t look away from our pain. 💔 gofund.me/d14cbe76

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

Six years ago a client came to me. His landlord was trying to evict him over the last payment of a rent to own contract. The client had remodeled the entire house himself with his own hands, a room at a time. Today, client won the house. Some days are good days.

Demand for private jets out of the Middle East are surging as the wealthy look to escape the Middle East.

An excellent step in the right direction. Here was my primer on state prosecution of federal agents in @newrepublic.com

Tip: if you live in a state where an ICE warehouse sale fell through due to local resistance, STAY VIGILANT. ICE has certain regions in mind, so keep looking at warehouses in your state for ICE interest. Merrilville, IN fell through, and ICE pivoted to Indianapolis for its meg warehouse search.

BREAKING: In our case challenging the Trump-Vance administration’s cuts to FEMA, a federal court has ordered discovery, including a deposition of Kristi Noem. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. @democracyforward.org
