"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!
Trump is announcing his nominee.
That's it.
If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now.
And that matters come November.
Steve-O was on Joe Rogan's show trying to defend trans people and Rogan went off, he called trans people "fucking perverts" and "mass shooters" who have done the majority of school shootings.
Completely unhinged bigotry paid for by your Spotify subscriptions.
He wasted no time...
Fetterman is basically a reactionary now: there is no real effort to explain why Mullin - a buffoon who spent the week insisting we are not at war with Iran - is qualified. Trump nominated Mullin, and that’s good enough for him.
The House just defeated the Massie-Khanna War Powers Resolution on Iran.
Crosses, reportedly, were-
R's voting yes: Massie, Davidson (R-OH)
D's voting no: Golden, Landsman, Cuellar, Vargas
When will athletes learn that visiting the Trump White House almost guarantees that he’ll threaten a war or something while you’re just kinda standing there in the background
"Mullin also said he opposes any exceptions to an abortion ban, even if the life of the mother is at risk. He appeared to imply his own wife would opt against getting an abortion even if her life were in immediate danger."
Trump to Rubio: "Your next one is gonna be Cuba. He's waiting but he says, 'Let's get this one finished first.' We could do them all at the same time, but bad things happen."
Official statements placing U.S. forces in the area – along w/ analysis of social posts, videos, sat. images – suggest U.S. forces bombed a school in Minab, Iran during strikes targeting an IRGC base. Over 150 were killed, Iranian officials say. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...
don’t let anyone rob you of your joy about kristi noem getting fired. we get to have a day.
Hegseth: "This idea that the war might be expanded, or there's chaos -- nothing could be further from the truth"
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.
South Dakota's "Meth. We're on it" campaign
I'll always remember Kristi Noem for the "Meth. We're on it." campaign.
Here's a thought, stop holding the pointless event after another year of covering yourself in shame with weak-ass questions and failing to stand up for victimized reporters, and then he won't have anything TO attend.

I think we should just go ahead and formally abolish the Senate, because this current thing where they don't do their jobs but draw a paycheck isn't really working for me
Teton County has long had the highest wealth inequality in the country. But that disparity has escalated sharply since 2017. The county’s top 1 percent of households, including Mr. Ricketts, now have an estimated average annual income of about $35 million, 221 times what the bottom 99 percent is making, according to a Times analysis of tax data. The average single-family home price last year pushed past $7 million. The result has been a critical housing shortage for anyone who is not wealthy, and a strain on local services as tax cuts favored by the rich cut into local government revenues. The morgue in Teton County operates out of a former parking garage.
Teton County, full of billionaires, is struggling with government revenue because tax cuts favor the wealthy
It is an absolute non-starter to provide any funding for another forever war. Congress has already appropriated a trillion dollars for military spending and now you want more?
With some Senate democrats already hedging, where does the rest of Dem leadership stand?
NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson?
WALZ: I'm the governor of Minnesota. I'm not here to be a prop for your obsession.
“As a labor leader, [O’Brien] should be disqualified…. Donald Trump has done nothing to help the working class, only the people in the Epstein class.”

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."
Here's the letter that caused Thom Tillis to erupt at Kristi Noem. The DHS inspector general claims DHS leaders "systematically obstructed" his inquiries, including in something related to a "specific pending criminal investigation."

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:
"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."
While most people are preoccupied with the war with Iran, Third Way is hosting a conference in Charleston on how moderates can crush the left in 2028. No mention of the war so far this morning, but their 15 viewers have enjoyed plenty of GenXers making "jokes" in GenZ slang!

BLUMENTHAL: Is the agent who shot Ms Martinez sill on the job?
NOEM: Our officers conduct operations every day-
B: Is he still on the job carrying a gun?
N: I dunno
B: Would you agree he shouldn't be?
N: I'll get back to you
B: I think Americans would find it absolutely terrifying if he is
Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"
