Schumer: "Iran doesn't have Tomahawk missiles, Donald Trump! The claim is beyond asinine. He says whatever pops into his head no matter what the truth is. And we all know he lies, but on something as formidable as this, it's appalling."
Please! Pull the plug on Noem and her BS. This has gone way beyond tiresome.

Trump's staff is a bunch of candy-asses. Brainwashed into the inability to think for themselves.
Speaker Johnson could call the House back and vote to fund TSA today.
Let’s be clear: long lines at the airports are a direct result of Republicans insisting ICE be able to defy court orders, kidnap and murder people and face zero consequences.
Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"
Yep, Obama sure did. However, he wasn't at a funeral of a man he sent to war to fight and die.
🚨BREAKING: Democrats filed a lawsuit Tuesday demanding President Donald Trump’s administration unveil their plans, if any, for deploying federal officers or troops on election day. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Trump and Putin have secrets from the entire world, not just from Hegseth.
The federal regulatory agency tasked with keeping America’s nuclear power plants safe and running smoothly is set to make huge cuts to the amount of time its staffers spend on safety and emergency inspections, opening the door for to more self-policing from the industry. https://cnn.it/4rlFKbS
One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
NEW: We’re suing the Trump administration.
They have refused to respond to our FOIA requests on whether Trump plans to deploy troops to polling places and drop boxes.
Trump is trying to cheat and intimidate his way through midterms he knows the GOP will lose. We’re fighting back.
We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.
Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.
Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."
🚨BREAKING: Attorney General Pam Bondi violated federal law when she replaced Alina Habba, the former interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, with a “triumvirate” of attorneys, a federal judge ruled Monday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Don't they teach Civics anymore?
Tonight on Alaska News Nightly:
State lawmakers consider making civics a requirement for high schoolers in Alaska.
Plus, 37 sled dog teams are now mushing the 1,000-mile trail to Nome.

"We're in the middle of the new golden era..."
Who's "WE"? Certainly not the general population.
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
For those who weren't smart enough to get it without an object lesson, I hope they're able to see it now.
And it's amazing how much we can endure when we are unable, or unwilling to normalize it.

Or the President build a ballroom with the tax dollars.
It was a day of major volatility in global energy markets and a moment of real concern for consumers. https://to.pbs.org/3PsyzkH
Please! Remind me again what the penalty for treason is?
Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.
I remember seeing her on TV and found out she was over 30 years old. I thought she was old. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! 😂
Mind-boggling, isn't it?
The fact that Donald Trump is going to try to subvert the 2026 elections doesn't mean he will be successful. We have shown before that we can fight back in court and win. The key is that we must educate everyone about what is going to happen and what they can do as well to defend democracy.
