Rep Don Bacon's (R-NE) whole statement here is trenchant.

This is smartly framed by @rokhanna.bsky.social…and true.

U.S. Troops Killed in Kuwait Had No Warning of Deadly Drone Attack A single Iranian suicide drone hit a commercial port in Kuwait, killing at least six servicemembers.

U.S. troops working at a tactical operations center at a commercial port in Kuwait on Sunday had no warning that a deadly Iranian drone was headed straight toward them.

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

Secretary Rubio finally admitted the truth: Israel decided to act and we went along with their timing. For weeks we’ve heard shifting stories about Iran, missiles, and our role. This isn’t what many voted for.

Trump is not pro-war or pro-peace. He’s pro-Trump.

Exactly. Blindly hooting for the Buffoon-in-Chief as he unlawfully orders airstrikes without a coherent plan isn't a foreign policy, and isn't patriotic; it's just stupid, and dangerous.

Trump campaign peace promises loom large over wartime presidency The "anti-war" candidate has bombed seven countries and launched a new regime-change war in Iran.

No president in the modern era has launched more military strikes against as many different countries as Trump, including more individual strikes in 2025 than Biden ordered in all four years. @zacharybasu www.axios.com/2026/03/02/t...

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Why I Sued to Have a Jan. 6 Memorial Installed in Congress This is about more than a plaque, it’s about our national memory.

I wrote about my efforts to get the January 6th memorial plaque installed, and what exactly it means.

one that does not demean women or anyone for that matter. That's not how John means it, I know. But terms that degrade women (calling someone a p***y is another) - I just think it's time to let that go.

please reconsider the use of "douche bag" as a derogatory. I so appreciate your posts, your views. I'm 70. The term is offensive. Not sure when/where it got started.

Refugee released by Border Patrol found dead, sparking outrage Surveillance video obtained by The Post shows Border Patrol agents releasing the partially blind refugee, who went missing for days before being found dead.

They dropped off Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a blind refugee who didn't speak English, at a CLOSED Tim Hortons.

5 miles away from his home.

He never made it.

The three people most mentioned in the Epstein files are Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Donald Trump.

One of them died in prison, one of them is in prison now, and one of them is president.

But sure, let’s depose Hillary Clinton.

The Other Red Hat (You'll like this one better)

February 26 is an important date in the history of resistance, and it has to do with knitters during WWII. Come read the story. If you’re a knitter, maybe you’ll want to cast on with me tomorrow? And if you aren’t, there are other ideas for you here. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

This has nothing to do with fraud.

The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

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.
