Hegseth ignored military officials when he slashed offices that limit risk to civilians The Defense secretary’s decision to cut offices that mitigate civilian harm faces renewed attention as the Pentagon investigates a strike that killed hundreds of Iranian children.

BREAKING: Pete Kegstand IGNORED the CENTCOM chief and the Chair and Vice Chair of the Joint Chiefs opposition to GUTTING offices that limit civilian casualties, calling them "stupid." He fired and replaces all opposed. Politico with the exclusive: www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

The rise of online vibrant events in early Covid offered a lot of hope for disabled/chronically ill people who have access issues attending IRL events (including going into a flare later). Anti-Zoom reactive sentiment pushed a lot of people into being more isolated again.

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to β€œfederalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per weekβ€”and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

Seriously, though, Trump's delusion about what asylum means should have been challenged from the start. It should be challenged every single time he mentions it. The media has failed utterly.

It’s so weird how the media keeps reporting doggedly about affordability and β€œnumber of explosions in Iran” and ignores the credible rape allegations of the president and his own admission he went to war because of his son in law

The anniversary of #bloodysunday in Selma is about honoring the courage and power of the foot soldiers from that day in 1965, and recommitting to the fight for voting rights. On Sunday, I was honored to march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge with those brave foot soldiers…

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.

The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets β€” more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

WATCH β€” @jamestalarico.bsky.social : β€œEvery dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”

Oh ffs. Witkoff apparently went on TV today and said that Russia told him they're not helping Iran and we can trust the Russians and take them at their word.

We have idiots in charge.

Neguse on Noem: Clearly the president was embarrassed by the corruption and the fraud β€” the self-dealing that we exposed during the course of this hearing. But I also think he was perhaps envious of it.

So when are Republican lawmakers going to admit this president is endangering not just the U.S. but the entire globe and stop him before he does even more damage?

Has anyone pointed out to ICE agents that if they're arresting people solely to collect a bonus, they're not law enforcement officers. They're bounty hunters.

I look forward to all of them losing their jobs and being blacklisted from serving in law enforcement.
