Super shocking. Given that Russia helped our enemies during Vietnam, Korea, and both gulf wars, who could have guessed this would happen. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...
Remember the stickers on gas pumps blaming Biden for high prices? I made one for tariffs.

Kamala Harris: "I predicted a lot about what's happening right now. I'm not here to say 'I told you so,' but we did see it coming."
Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.
Gas prices skyrocketing.
Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.
Another war in the Middle East.
Are we great again yet?
All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Respect recognizes respect.
Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.
A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.
Bill Clinton gets emotional when talking about his friendship with Rev. Jesse Jackson at the memorial service:
"I'm here more as a friend than a former president. He was my friend when I needed it. And I ask you to ask yourself how you can do more by being a better friend and a more effective one."
Why Cheating MAGA Rep’s Ouster Is a Problem for Trump

Seems less than ideal.
The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.
Bensky: And then we have the moment where all of my information is released. All of these other survivors — all of our information is literally out there for the world to see. And you’re like, “Wow, the DOJ really — our government doesn’t care.”
“On Tuesday, she told a Senate committee the contract for the campaign had gone to competitive bid. On Wednesday, before the House, she acknowledged it hadn’t.”

92,000 jobs lost. That’s families worried about groceries, rent, and the future.
Washington shouldn’t be handing tax breaks to billionaires while working people pay the price. We need leadership that fights for workers, not the wealthy. #KY06
Militants of the Orbán regime in Russia-ally Hungary kidnapped seven employees of Ukrainian bank Oschadbank and stole €65 million in cash and gold from an armoured car coming from Austria.
Ukrainian foreign minister Andrii Sybiha demanded the immediate release of the hostages.
Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)
Palantir’s Double Conflict of Interest in the War Against Iran
War was inevitable claimed the three most senior figures in the AI analytics firm which both provided the justification for US/Israeli strikes and profits from the conflict

Trump violated our Constitution by waging war without Congressional authorization.
Senate Rs had the chance to defend our Constitution. They failed.
They failed to defend our Constitution.
They failed to rein in Trump’s poorly planned and illegally-launched war.
They failed the American people.
Kristi Noem needed to be fired. Unfortunately, the president wants to replace her with someone who is all hat and no cattle.
Here's my statement.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Not beating the cult allegations anytime soon…
What makes me angry is that the House is now going to lose a fighter for democracy like Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett next year when we are needing more fighters like her.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has ended restrictions that barred political appointees at the Justice Department from participating in political activities, according to a memo seen by NBC. The rules were originally put in place to avoid even the appearance of political influence, prohibiting those
Neighbors gathered in Montgomery County yesterday to talk honestly. One message really stuck with me. A person held up a sign that read:
“Helping my community and not licking the boots of the 1%.”
That’s it. That’s the heart of this campaign. #FliptheSixth #KY06
It is with a heavy heart that I announce my retirement from Louisville Public Media. However, I will be staying here with another role for $1 million so I can stay busy.
Still going...

AOC: If people like Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi violate the law, there are supposed to be consequences. These are people who call themselves law enforcement officers. The message they’re sending is that they can cover up for pedophiles and street executions. That cannot be acceptable.
NEW: When asked if top aide Corey Lewandowski has “a role in approving contracts,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem replied, “No.”
But internal DHS records contradict her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
