Awful reading about concentration camp conditions. It’s currently closed to visitors due to a measles outbreak—WaPo has reported it may close completely but it hasn’t yet. Starvation, suicide, restricted healthcare, but also “detainees only see sunlight during brief outings once or twice a week”

Saturday (3/7/26) News: "Every day you wake up to...things you just didn't think were possible" - Barack Obama - Blue Virginia by Lowell Here are a few international, national and Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Saturday, March 7. But first, check out President Barack Obama SLAMMING Trump – without namin...

Saturday (3/7/26) News: “Every day you wake up to…things you just didn’t think were possible” – Barack Obama; Ground troops heading to Iran?; fTrump's "shruggy nihilistm"; "Trump Is Risking a Global Stagflation Crisis"; So Much for the New "Golden Age" bluevirginia.us/2026/03/satu...

A Disastrous Jobs Report, Russia Is Helping Iran Attack The US, The War Is Spinning Out Of Control - America Needs A Course Correction, Now Our addled and desperate leader is putting America and the world into grave danger - Democrats must fight to force a course correction......

America is in need of a major course correction:
- Qatar warns new war could "bring down the economies of the world"
- Disastrous jobs report, inflation is rising, fiscal condition worsening
- Russia is helping Iran attack Americans
Need a better way👇

“Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law. An offense to common decency. Every day you wake up to it, to things you just didn’t think were possible." - @barackobama.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2026/03/satu...

One way to look at Newton's First La of Motion is that it takes one unbalanced force to change anything. Not majority opinion. Not good intentions. One unbalanced force, applied persistently, in a direction. Be that unbalanced force of change on March 7th. Take Back Our Science Rally standupforscience.net/march7

Still not sure if you should attend a Take Back our Science Rally today? If you do nothing, nothing will change, and the way the current administration deals with science, things need to change.

The latest episode of Power Lines is out.

In this week’s episode, we report on what CNN staffers are privately saying about Scott Jennings. We also get into WHCA blowback over Trump’s dinner invite and Bari Weiss’ plans for “CBS Mornings.”

Watch on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9yx...

Israel’s Netanyahu is calling the shots.
American taxpayers are financing it.
Innocent people, including Iranian schoolgirls, are dying.
Vote out every Republican before they finish destroying all we hold dear.

Imagine all the cool, fast trains we could have with the billions we spend on bombs.

Trump administration asks court to restore punishments for law firms The Justice Department told a federal appeals court that judges who blocked executive orders sanctioning several law firms had infringed on the president’s authority.

The Trump administration asked an appeals court to restore punishments imposed by the president on several prominent law firms, saying that judges who had blocked the sanctions infringed on his authority. The firms argue the orders were unconstitutional.

Former Trump chief of staff John Kelly confirmed previous reports that Mr. Trump had made admiring statements about Hitler, had expressed contempt for disabled veterans and had characterized those who died for the United States as “losers” and “suckers."

Russia Secretly Sharing Location of U.S. Targets With Iran, U.S. Officials Say In a sign of deepening ties, satellite data from Moscow could help Tehran hit American forces around the Middle East.

The record-setting pace of retirements from Congress continues, led by Republicans NPR is tracking the record number of congressional lawmakers — now more than one in eight current members — who have announced plans to retire or run for a different office in 2026.

The Supreme Court moves in the shadows - The Boston Globe A single, unsigned paragraph turned the Voting Rights Act into a dead letter.

Issues like this have no business on the shadow docket, @kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social writes. New law should not be made in darkness, without full briefing and argument.

Great reporting/analysis below. The flaw: MAGA is not based in reality. It's based on hatred of others (xenophobia), hatred of position (liberals are better educated), and racism. That's all. MAGA will stick with Trump even after all the life boats are gone.

The Bygone Era of Supreme Court Support for Voting Rights Sixty years after upholding the Voting Rights Act, the Court has dismantled most of it.

Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act.

We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy.

Noem may be out of the job now, but her cozy “command and control center” is still costing you a fortune.
