U.S. Suffers Additional Casualties In War It Won Last Week

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

Hegseth reads from the Bible at his update today, reinforcing the impression that the illegal war is a Christian nationalist crusade.

Great quotes in military history.

Here's the first-ever Linkedin message from this company, which seems to be a small company run by two millennials with some background in migrant shelters.

Four months ago they suggest they won a contract to run a "mass care site" in Lexington, KY, but this is their first-ever federal contract.

Anyone who believed this was not paying attention.

Last time we did it so people could be house flippers

Our @premthakker.bsky.social was reporting from the Capitol today, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio appeared to admit there was no actual “imminent threat” and Israel is what really brought US into the war on Iran

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Blind Rohingya refugee dumped by CBP, dies in cold "They just left him."

A blind Rohingya man survived a genocide in Burma, escaped to the United States, and then died because immigration officers treated him with such callousness. This story is a tragedy www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/20...

Funny behavior from someone who owns one of the country's newspapers of record

This is an astounding report from @citizensforethics.org.

It's especially impressive because 1) we don't have access to WH visitor logs, and 2) as far as we know, the Secret Service doesn't keep track of visits to Trump properties the way it does the WH.

This is a mistake, and CREW shows why.

We have until March 6 to comment on whether there should be one million more satellites in orbit or thousands of mirrors that reflect light back at Earth Jesus Fucking H Christ on a Pogostick

Mind you, all we really wanted was damn healthcare coverage..

Greenland has universal health care and far higher standards of healthcare than are found in Louisiana and most of the US. In the meantime, Trump has blocked funding of the ACA, meaning that tens of millions of Americans are about to lose their healthcare coverage.

Thank you.

Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE 404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today.

Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

The American flag comes down under a Trump banner amid stormy weather at DOJ.

This is a level of state control of university teaching curricula you don’t even see in most authoritarian regimes.

The most insane timeline in US history.

Complaint to FEC Urges Inquiry Into MAGA Inc. Donations From Billionaire’s Daughter That Preceded Trump Pardon The complaint alleges the donations had a singular goal: to elicit a pardon from Donald Trump.

Venezuelan billionaire Julio Herrera Velutini was indicted in 2022 for violating federal bribery laws related to illegal donations he made. After Trump won in 2024, Velutini’s daughter, began making donations to MAGA Inc. Velutini was subsequently pardoned by Trump earlier this year.
