If @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social cannot whip the vote to reclaim the rightful, constitutional authority of Congress from Trump, why is he still the leader?

"I hope you are impressed," he said to me. "How do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better. How do you like the performance?"

"I hope you are impressed," he said to me. "How do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better. How do you like the performance?"

"How do you like the performance?"

An illegal war for the sake of spectacle and the amusement of POTUS.

I, for one, am tired of being told by Christian theocratic fascists that I, a Jew and an immigrant, am not a real citizen of this country.

This is why we need big newsrooms with lots of reporters who can dig into things. www.niemanlab.org/2026/03/with...

Really worth watching this.

Q: "Did Israel force your hand to launch these strikes against Iran? Did Netanyahu pull the United States into this war?"

Trump: "No, I might've forced their hands…I might've forced Israel's hand."

Here's part of Tillis' great rant.

“It’s precisely because Trump has no meaningfully articulated objectives for this war—and because American officials privately admit his Iran claims are false—that he’s launching it illegally without congressional authorization.“ 🎯

The United States and Israel started a war with Iran by killing its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

This shit is so unbelievably deranged. One can only hope that we, as a species, somehow and despite our worst efforts make it to a point sometime in the future when our descendants can look back at us and be aghast at how aggressively stupid we were to let this all happen.

Opinion | Casey Means' Cringey Senate Hearing Should Sink Her Surgeon General Bid The nominee revealed her fundamental confusion between individual healthcare and public health

“Before even getting to her views on public health issues, there is absolutely nothing in Means' background to suggest she would be qualified to serve as surgeon general. No clinical experience, no public health training - just a large social media presence with a sketchy business background”

DOJ Examined Men in Epstein’s Orbit Accused of Sex Crimes. None Were Charged. Several women told investigators after Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death that they were sexually abused by his associates. The Justice Department has said the files include unverified allegations.

Iran’s Regime May Survive, but the Middle East Will Be Changed

"The Mideast won’t be the same again": But what exactly emerges from the war may not be clear for a while. The seasoned and deeply sourced correspondent @stevenerlanger.bsky.social covered the Iranian Revolution in 1978-79 and now explores what could come next. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/w...

“Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear program. “Now Trump says he’s taken America to war for regime change in Iran. “Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress. “I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace. “The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program — which he falsely claimed to have ‘obliterated’ — pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran’s support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm’s way should only ever be a last resort. “I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism.”

Sen. Ossoff Statement on Iran.

Overnight, Trump started an illegal war without approval from Congress and against the wishes of the American people.

This war will bring needless death and destruction – risking American lives and civilian casualties.

Congress must bring up a War Powers resolution immediately.

Happening now: a protest in Chicago's federal plaza is underway in response to US and Israeli strikes on Iran earlier today.

Chicago Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez just addressed the crowd, which I'd put at a couple hundred people strong. A lone counterprotestor is also posted up across the street.
