Primary Every Democrat It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

Is it past the deadline in South Carolina?

Is that @meredithshiner.com's music I hear?

I early voted yesterday and used the @injusticewatch.org guide to learn more about the judges on the ballot. Thanks to @danhinkel.bsky.social et al!

Attempted suicides, fights, pain: 911 calls reveal misery at ICE’s largest detention facility The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas.

"At one point he said he overheard a security guard talking about bets made among the staff over which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had paid $500 into a pool, with the total pot riding on the outcome."

One fewer R in the Senate for some time will be nice. Would love to hear from experts about the process to replace a Senator in Oklahoma in the meantime.

Skeet with false information from Adam Kinzinger @adamkinzinger.substack.com Jared Polis, Gov of Colorado, just pardoned Tina Peters (a 2020 election conspiracist who broke the law) at the demand of Trump I’m shocked and sickened 9:07 PM CST • March 3, 2026

This is going around and it is *NOT TRUE*. Polis is considering commuting her sentence, which is in of itself a tragedy. Nonetheless I'm annoyed at how many accounts I am seeing reposting this nonsense.
