Lou Correa raises a report of a bunch of Orange County cases where ICE did not show up to pick up actual criminals.

Then he asks Noem if she snatches US citizens. Literally MINUTES after Jayapal raised the four people who were detained, she says she does not.

Correa now listing more examples.

Joe Neguse and Kristi Noem, split screen.

Neguse is walking Noem through her false testimony yesterday that her $220M propaganda campaign was competitively bid.

He's reading right from no-bid justification. 4 companies were given the bid.

Neguse: Where is it HQed?
Noem: I don't know.
Neguse: We don't know either. We tried to find it.

Don Beyer On Trump’s War In Iran YouTube video by Congressman Don Beyer

Trump’s war in Iran is not smart, not legal, not morally right and not in our national interest.

Congress must act and vote for the Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution.

As we monitor the situation in the Middle East, my office stands ready to share guidance and help NY-14 constituents.

It’s worth noting that this is only 5-10 percent more childish than how the Bush administration and conservative media sold the war on terror in 2002-2003.

Trump has launched an illegal regime change war.

As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos.

When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.

They Built It. Now They Want to Bomb It. Today's Iran crisis didn't start with just the mullahs. It started with a secret deal that Republican operatives made with them— a deal that changed history and may now lead to war.

They Built It. Now They're Bombing It.

The 1980 October Surprise didn't just put Reagan in the White House. GOP operatives also sided with repressive Islamists who took control of the Iranian revolution and squashed the forces of secular democracy.

Cartoon showing the giant faces of Trump and Khamenei opposing each other. Strands of the beard of Khamenei are turning into the trails of missiles shooting towards the face of Trump, while strands of Trump’s hair are turning into the trails of missiles shooting towards the face of Khamenei.

Trump versus Khamenei. Cartoon from 2020.

Draft-dodging chicken-hawks love to talk tough (from their fancy, gold-plated beach resorts). But they have NO CLUE what war is really about.

We need a War Powers vote NOW.

You deserve to know who wants to send your kids to war to fight for Trump's lies.

We are at war and this President has put American lives at risk for no stated coherent reason.

Literally

When we emerge from this mess, there will be accountability.

Count on it.

Remarkable and widespread record warmth today across the Southwest. In fact, some locations in southern CA and southern AZ are not just breaking daily records, but also monthly February records--with current temperatures well into 90s and approaching 100F in some spots. #CAwx #AZwx

So let’s think about this.

A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the government’s demands.

The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it

Trump's brain flits wildly from Mamdani to shoveling snow to having a conversation with a woman in the audience who has bad eyes. He claims he "gave her a lot of money to get her eyes fixed." This event is totally off the rails.

You know this is a completely deliberate choice that is not required, because there was JUST another shutdown and they didn’t do it then.

Anyway, not good that the admin is deliberately making air travel more annoying to try to win a political fight. Lot of people will miss flights.

Sigh

Trump could clearly drop his pants and poop in the middle of the Oval and journalists still wouldn't question his fitness. The New York Times would write that he was "challenging longstanding conventions" and leave it at that.

Doing one thing right every few years doesn’t absolve the Roberts court. Especially after Dobbs and immunity.

Epstein leveraged relationship with Botstein to draw in multiple women Jeffrey Epstein wanted to reassure an Eastern European musician about his intentions. He turned to the conductor and Bard College President Leon Botstein.

People interested in the story of Jeffrey Epstein and the young European violinist he introduced to Bard College president Leon Botstein: it's been written up by the Times Union. She got into Juilliard, was looking for a family to live with, then one of Epstein's recruiters pushed her to Epstein. 1/

Wow.

Watching 37 USAF aircraft - 23 tankers, 13 transports and an E-3 AWACS over CONUS and Europe over the last 4 hours.

"Age 10". Dwell on this.

“Totally exonerated” is what people say when they’re PANICKED, not cleared. Trump says it five times because saying it once isn’t enough. No trial. No testimony. No daylight. Just DENIALS stacked on DENIALS. That’s not innocence—that’s FEAR talking. SAD!!!

Teachers, doctors, parents of other children: “Your daughter is so sweet and such a delight, how did you get her to behave like this?”

Same daughter to me as I pick her up at 9pm from theater rehearsal: “I’m hungry, I’m tired, my feet hurt, don’t talk to me for 20 minutes.”
