NOT JUST THIS:

Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers.

This could be a major night in NC.

Oh... it's time to start watching Arkansas: Democrats are significantly ahead so far in a special election for a GOP-held legislative seat. If this is confirmed, it'd be Democrats' second flip so far this year.

BREAKING: Roy Cooper is projected to win the Democratic Senate primary in North Carolina and former RNC Chairman Michael Whatley, who was endorsed by Trump, is projected to win the North Carolina GOP Senate primary.

Both projections were made by The Associated Press.

No matter who wins the Democratic nomination for the Senate seat in Texas, I will work my hardest to support the nominee.

I devoutly hope that no GOP candidate clears 50% in the primary, so that they are locked into another 10 weeks of in-fighting while the Dem nominee seeks votes in the general.

We need a Homeland revival. Carrie Mathison and Saul Berenson pronounced every Middle Eastern leader’s name properly β€” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei included β€” and then calmly, and astutely explained exactly what the stakes were, who was escalating, and who was quietly benefiting.

Apart from the truly revolting nature of his comment, I am fascinated that this is an official photo put out by the White House the other night. It is, presumably, the most flattering one they could find.

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack.

"The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

CNN is saying the Iranian attack happened after Trump β€œlost patience with negotiations”.

I don’t believe it. The negotiations were cover. This was always the plan. The scale of the military buildup showed that.

The airport reported operating normally on February 22 with no incidents or risks to passengers.
The terminal is protected by the National Guard and the Ministry of National Defense as part of permanent coordination.

This post from InfodemiaMx refutes a claim regarding major road blockades in Guadalajara, Jalisco, clarifying they were results of federal security operations rather than organized crime activity.
Federal authorities confirmed roadblocks were caused by their own security operations.
Security forces are deployed and actively regaining control of affected areas.
Traffic is moving slowly but steadily, and several blockades have been deactivated.

Disinformation, spread by hostile networks to spread panic in Mexico, debunked so far:

- cartel took over the airport
- cartel blocked all access to the state
- cartel took tourists as hostages
- cartel burned down buildings
- cartel ordered members to kill civilians at random

Jeffrey Epstein Was Vladimir Putin's Wealth Manager, FBI Source Claimed in Newly Released Epstein Files Jeffrey Epstein managed money for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, among other powerful world leaders, one confidential source claimed in FBI testimony

As I keep saying, the Epstein story is an offshore finance story.

And offshore finance is about elite impunity: insistence on their wealth and their persons being protected by the law, but never being subject to the law.

It's the "Every man a King" fantasy made real.

A very detailed explanation of how FBI bamboozled a magistrate into authorizing a raid on Fulton County’s election offices by omitting critical information that would have totally undermined any probable cause claim. Pretty clear-cut case of calculated deception of the courts.

the reporter asked french and italians about what they thought of Clinton's mistress.

Steve Bannon talked about invoking the 25th Amendment with Jeffrey Epstein.

The conversation happened over New Year’s in 2018/2019 and included talk about how Madeleine Westerhout, the director of Oval Office ops, was β€œsaving the world” by giving Trump oral sex.
