Hegseth keeps saying we are untouchable and invincible and we have total dominance so I don’t know how this could happen.

Bessent says the Trump admin may now lift sanctions on even more Russian oil to try and reduce oil prices during Trump’s war. This would provide a massive injection of cash to fund Putin’s war machine.

REPORT: Trump has privately expressed serious interest in deploying U.S. ground troops inside Iran, according to multiple officials.

Sources say he’s discussed sending a small contingent of troops for targeted operations. The White House denies any decision has been made. (NBC News)

He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.

NEW: Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) & Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) launch review of $220 million taxpayer-funded Dept of Homeland Security ad campaign w/ Kristi Noem

Senators seek records about "circumstances surrounding the awarding of this lucrative, no-bid contract..."

Trump properties are FULL of Russians.

It just keeps getting better every day …

Talarico, as an actual Jesus-following Christian, is like a vaccine against conservative authoritarian "Christianity" and the evils that Christian nationalists have brought upon America through their support of Trump.

Russia is aiding Iran’s war effort by providing intel on US military targets, sources say | CNN Politics Russia is providing Iran with intelligence about the locations and movements of American troops, ships and aircraft, according to multiple people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue, ...

Super shocking. Given that Russia helped our enemies during Vietnam, Korea, and both gulf wars, who could have guessed this would happen. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Something big is in those files... Even [Trump] recognizes whatever's in there is so immovable in terms of the impact and damage that it would to to him that he cannot allow it to be made public."

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

This is interesting. But it is more interesting that Trump is rewarding Moscow for doing this by helping Russia sell oil, repeating Russian propaganda points, and senselessly burning through weapon stocks.

Republicans are pushing DOJ to bring criminal charges against Cassidy Hutchinson for spilling the beans on Donald Trump's Jan 6 shenanigans.

This is all about creating a chilling effect on anyone in the administration who is *currently* witnessing unethical/illegal behavior.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

“.. It looks like a textbook case of cronyism.” 🤡

Biden: "We're in a tough spot, folks. We've got an administration that doesn't share any of the values we have. And I don't think I'm exaggerating."

BREAKING: @democracydefendersfund.org joined a letter led by @americanprogress.bsky.social thanking @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov & other state AGs for taking hard look at the Paramount-Warners merger

It's a democracy danger & NOT a done deal

I think it's saying that when the price of oil stops going up it should help stocks to stop going down.

After a year of berating and humiliating Ukraine, we could really use their help with drone warfare.

Wow did something happen in the US in January 2025?

Turns out as the world’s foremost experts on drone interception, Ukraine has some cards.

Trump’s “Warflation” Has Just Begun If he were trying to increase prices on purpose, would he be doing anything differently?

Get ready for some "warflation": higher prices for oil, gas, food (lots of fertilizer passes through Hormuz), goods made with petrochemicals (umbrellas, shampoo, toys, etc.), and pretty much anything that needs to be transported anywhere.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

Russia is helping Iran attack America, and Ukraine is helping America defend itself from Russia and Iran.

It is time to renew our support for Ukraine and Europe, and stop Trump's ongoing appeasement of Putin. Congress must now revive the Russia sanctions bill, get serious here.
