NEW: Chicago should pay $27 million to the family of a man who was struck and killed by a driver being chased by Chicago police, city lawyers recommended, the latest massive settlement prompted by a police pursuit. @wttw.bsky.social

After WWII we could have gone home and left the world to burn.
Instead America rebuilt Europe, defended trade routes, and helped inspire the fall of the Iron Curtain.
Because America has always had a mission.
One we're dangerously close to forgetting.

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"
Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.
And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.
• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree
POV you are meeting Bluesky mutuals in real life
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
Has anyone pointed out to ICE agents that if they're arresting people solely to collect a bonus, they're not law enforcement officers. They're bounty hunters.
I look forward to all of them losing their jobs and being blacklisted from serving in law enforcement.

The authorities of the Kuban region, Russia, have reported a drone attack.
Reports of "falling debris" are coming from Anapa, the area near Abinsk, and Krymsk. In the Temryuk district, near the Kerch Strait, a fire has broken out.
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.
I cannot believe that the Whitehouse says "It doesn't really matter " that Russia is helping Iran target US military personnel. Is there anything, ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING, that Putin can do where Donald Trump will criticise him?
He would rather see US troops die than upset his boss!😡😡
Americans are tired of Trump’s power grab.
No more chaos. No more broken promises. No more corruption.
Dems are ready to deliver real solutions.
"The Price of Safety: Stories of Abortions Denied, Careers Disrupted, and States Left Behind" details the human and economic toll of abortion bans. The anthology uses stories from patients, doctors, business leaders, and others to show the real-world consequences of abortion bans.
“The American military is tremendous. It is the greatest in the world.”
I applaud the members of our military and we have very expensive technology.
But organizations are only as good as their leaders, and we have some dumb people running our military. It shows.
Repost if you agree #BlueCrew
❗️Russia's Defense Ministry claimed 754 Ukrainian drones were detected and shot down over Russia and occupied Crimea in 24 hours, the highest single-attack drone count on record. Bryansk, Belgorod, Tula, Krasnodar, and occupied Crimea saw the heaviest attacks. #Ukraine
We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.
Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.
Congresswoman Emily Randall
In Tacoma for Representative Emily Randall's campaign kickoff. I've known her since she was a State Representative in the Washington Legislature, then State Senator and now US Congresswoman for WA 06. She is an inspiration and I'm so damn proud of her!
As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.
Among those allegations was that #Epstein took photos of her posing nude and tried to extort her mother to keep the images secret. Her mother couldn't afford what was demanded by Epstein, the allegations said, and she stole $22,000 from her real estate firm

The Tennessee Senate has passed a bill to make it illegal for corporate investors that own 100 or more single-family homes to buy houses in the state's largest counties.
Nashville Democrat's Charlane Oliver’s “Homes not Hedge Funds Act” passed with only one no vote.
“...Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives ... on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam...”

“.. off limits to the public.”
One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
AS WE GET OLDER,
IT IS NOT UNUSUAL
TO FIXATE ON ONE THING.
How stupid he said.
So we're all smarter than the Bank of America securities head of US Equity and Quantitative Strategy?
