And, We Have Motive.

The Save Act is MAGA’s confession that it will never win another election without suppressing the vote of women and poor people.

🚨NEWS: Democrat Andy Thomson has won the Boca Raton mayoral race by just ONE vote. 🔵 Thomson — 7,568 🔴 Liebelson — 7,567 With 100% of votes in, Thomson becomes the first Democratic mayor of Boca Raton in over 30 years. One vote decided the election.

I had assumed the headline was a joke. But no. people.com/new-dime-coi...

This is one of my least favorite loopholes, and it basically goes back to the beginning. Congress funds an undeclared war and therefore the Constitution hasn't been violated bsky.app/profile/josh...

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

Great quotes in military history. @atrupar.com

USUALLY presidents getting blame or taking credit for gas prices (or local crime rates, or etc etc) is dumb, because it’s a commodity whose price is set on a global market, USUALLY for reasons having little to do with the White House’s occupant. But this is 100% directly Trump’s fault.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Worth remembering the time Two-names McGee here threatened to fight a witness in a hearing www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl-2...

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

😡😡😡😡

Insofar as Talarico is reaching out to Republican voters, I think it’s that more moderate subset that is struggling to reconcile their purported Christianity with the sadism of MAGA. You don’t have to abandon progressive values to speak to those people.

This is what weak and insecure people think confidence looks like: buffoonish bluster and swagger, like a 12-year-old bully. It doesn‘t inspire trust or security. It inspires grave concern for the lives of the people serving our nation whose fate is in the hands of these overcompensating oafs.

At least 1,097 civilians had been killed in Iran so far, including 181 children.

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

You know what isn't affected when you start an all-out war in the Middle East? The sun. The wind. Talk about backing the wrong horse.

There are no words .... other than to say you can't trust anything from this Administration.

North Carolina students are mobilizing after Republicans moved to limit their ballot access. The removal of early voting sites on several campuses, including the nation’s largest HBCU, has sparked organizing efforts as young voters rally to protect their right to vote.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

You have clearly not read the War Powers Act, Mike. Everything you've written is totally wrong. The War Powers Act SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS military action unless: a/ there is a prior congressional authorization; or b/ it's a response to an attack against the U.S.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies. If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

My idiot Congressman Mike Lawler got dragged yesterday for his fundamental misunderstanding of The War Powers Act. Big thanks to @indivisrockland.bsky.social for compiling the responses so that I didn’t have to. #NY17

War abroad and war at home.

The Situation Room is literally a blanket fort

Another thing to blame on Epstein. He introduced Melania to Trump — and now she’s going to preside over WWIII.

fell for it again award

AIPAC is eagerly cheerleading the illegal US and Israeli war on Iran. It has long sabotaged diplomacy with Iran and pushed to use the US Armed Forces against it. It is a pro-war lobby that helps to put American forces and millions of civilians across the Mideast in harm’s way.

Well, FIFA sure has mud on its face.

Regime Change? Iran is a repressive theocracy. But really? Didn’t we learn that Americans don’t want forever wars. And nuclear arsenal? Didn’t Obama have an agreement that stopped Iran that Trump cancelled? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

“If Kamala wins, only death and destruction await because she is the candidate of endless wars. I am the candidate of peace. I am peace.” - Trump, 11/1/24 “I’m not going to start a war, I’m going to stop wars.” - Trump, 11/5/24

Donald, you're not denying it.

Radiohead to Trump: “Take it down… Go fuck yourselves.” 🎵

"A scathing forensic review of Greenburgh government, which found widespread financial issues, has raised questions about management in Westchester’s biggest town as Supervisor Paul Feiner embarks on his campaign for an 18th term."

Here’s a thought for James Comer. There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton. It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein. You know, just to see what she knows.

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Breaking news: A federal judge found that the IRS violated federal law “approximately 42,695 times” when it shared confidential taxpayer addresses with immigration enforcement officials last summer.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

“What kind of administration releases naked photos of victims, and then protects the perpetrators?” #TrumpEpsteinFiles #EpsteinAdministration

"Sometimes what's interesting is what isn't said. A few terms Trump never uttered last night: Equality. Rights. The rule of law. The Constitution. Republic. Democracy. Opportunity (used once, not thematically). Justice (used twice, in a narrow sense)." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

Breaking MS NOW: Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available. Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Said the guy whose party controls all branches of the federal government. Look at all those Republicans applauding their “fraudulent” seats.

It's very funny to me that Trump went through all of the trouble of launching a scam cryptocoin or invading a foreign country to take their oil revenue personally hostage when he could simply sell bathwater to Republican members of Congress on OnlyFans.

Trump is babbling. Democrats are winning. Overperforming by 37 points in tonight’s Pennsylvania House special election.
