We must demand that our Members of Congress oppose ANY and ALL funding for Trump’s illegal war, including voting against any supplemental funding package.

Newsweek: Ted Lieu wants a special counsel to investigate Pam Bondi: “AG Bondi lied under oath. She said ‘There's no evidence that Trump committed a crime’. DOJ posted 3 FBI interviews related to sexual assault allegations against Trump. That’s evidence.”

Inspired by ProPublica’s new database, I created a visualization of the nearly 400 LLCs that make up Trump’s business empire.

The title for a story, reading: Intel report warns large-scale war ‘unlikely’ to oust Iran’s regime A classified U.S. report doubts that Iran’s opposition would take power following either a short or extended U.S. military campaign. Updated March 7, 2026 at 11:09 a.m. ESTtoday at 11:09 a.m. EST 5 min Summary 1,660 Make us preferred on Google Pro-government demonstrators march against the U.S.-Israeli military campaign in Tehran on Friday. A classified U.S. report recently predicted that the Iranian regime would be able to hold onto power even if the United States attacked. (Vahid Salemi/AP) By John Hudson and Warren P. Strobel I've marked the bylyine with a pink rectangle.

WaPo is in disastrous shape, but this is a wild byline on a story like this.

(For you youngs who forget this, Strobel was one of the few people who got the Iraq War right.)

Remember when we doom scrolled to see if we still had a functional democracy. Those were the good old days..

The Trump administration has released a proposal to overhaul the rules that govern federal layoffs a move that would make it easier to carry out sweeping arbitrary terminations across agencies.

Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.

We are eight months from the midterm elections. It is time to start shedding the vote suppressors, doomers and bots. Come at me with anything but let's elect some Democrats and put this country back on track and out the airlock you go. 💙☠️💙☠️💙 Ride Or Die!

It’s monstrous that fascist senate republican Tim Sheehy has gotten away with violently breaking the arm of a US Marine dressed in full military uniform which was captured on video and the scumbag later bragged about doing it on social media. MAGA is a violent terrorist cult.

“Nashville, someone in our community needs our voices right now.”

More and more are speaking up for Nashville Noticias reporter Estefany Rodriguez, grabbed by ICE (in a marked news car) after her coverage of them.

“Dad, you keep teaching me how to be honest, to be kind, to be brave, to push back on bullies, to stand for what I believe in. What if I end up being none of these things?”

“Then, son, it’s likely you’ll end up having a long and successful career in Congress.”

Concussions Can Wait. democracy, war crimes, and corruption don’t pause for head injuries

Donald Trump doesn’t care if people live or die.
He never has and he never will.
And it makes me so fucking angry.

Ex-Israeli Official to Netanyahu: “Update us… what are the goals of the war? What have we achieved? Do you, your wife, your children run to the shelter during attacks? Or are you in some underground bunker that protects you from missiles… and from the wrath of the citizens?”

What happened in Texas was intentional. Designed to discourage voters, and it’s part of a national plan led by the same Republicans who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

🚨 Trump officials attended a summit of election deniers who want the president to take over midterms.

Watch all of this.

AFP: "It breaks my heart": UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher says "we're seeing staggering amounts of money, reportedly a billion dollars a day” being spent on the Middle East war, rather than addressing the world’s “huge humanitarian caseload.”

Chicago-based construction firm Clayco launches solar energy business The construction firm will add nearly 1,000 employees nationwide by 2027 to its new unit, called Clayco Power and Energy.

Donald Trump may have gutted federal support for solar energy, but it's getting time to shine in Illinois.

With our Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act, we're incentivizing renewable energy with results like the launch of Clayco Power and Energy.

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

Former Hawaiʻi Senate President and U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa dies at 74 Hanabusa was first elected to the Hawaiʻi Senate in 1998 and served in the upper chamber through 2010, including a stint as the first woman Senate president. She went on to win one of Hawaiʻi's two se...

Sad to hear of the passing of my former colleague Congresswoman Hanabusa.

She was a fierce advocate for Native Hawaiian rights and a great friend to Gwen and me.

The United States killed all these children last Saturday.

170 of them.

Every. Single. One.

Documents Reveal a Web of Financial Ties Between Trump Officials and the Industries They Help Regulate ProPublica is releasing a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who d...

A trove of nearly 3,200 disclosure records, which ProPublica made public this week, reveals a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate.

WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “I’m saying there are problems with this operation. I don’t know how you could hear me say we struck an Iranian school and there are a bunch of dead kids and just say this is going great.”

Even red states are defiantly rejecting DOJ’s demands for private voter data “Election officials across the political spectrum stood up to protect state sovereignty and voters’ security, regardless of partisanship,” voting rights advocate David Becker told Democracy Docket.

Earlier this week, Idaho became the latest state to push back against the U.S. Department of Justice’s campaign to seize the private voter data of every state. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/eve...

According to a federal court, Trump's IRS illegally shared confidential taxpayer information with ICE 42,695 times.

BREAKING NEWS: U.S. Intelligence Community Tells Trump His Plan for Iran Will Fail

QAnon luminaries say they’ve drafted the Trump “national emergency” declaration to scuttle the midterm elections:

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

I have Bernie Moreno, John Husted, Gym Jordan, and Joyce Beatty who considers Wexner (a major pedo with Epstein) a good friend. The state of Ohio is a cesspool.
