Asked earlier today whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump said:

โ€œI guess.โ€

โ€œLike I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.โ€

He canโ€™t even pretend to give a single fuck about human life. Truly a conscienceless sociopath.

An IMPORTANT message from Liz Oyer, former DOJ Pardon Attorney:

She says that Pam Bondi announced a new rule that would stop state bar associations from investigating misconduct by DOJ lawyers.

The final straw came when Noem told Senator John Kennedy under oath that Trump had personally approved a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign that featured her prominently. Trump flatly denied it. 'I never knew anything about it,' he said

Itโ€™s so delicious, it really is

Videos like this are utterly cathartic.

I want EVERY Dem to throw away decorum and politeness and start YELLING the truth, like Rep. McGovern.

Stand Up for Science plans second rally on March 7 Public health chaos and research funding cuts are inspiring nationwide pro-science protests against the Trump administration

This weekend, on March 7, @standupforscience.bsky.social is leading protests in 25 locations.

Scientists had warned about the replacement of evidence over ideology and the damage it would cause. Everything that I was worried about came true.

Jeffrey Epstein predicted that if Trump cornered he would sell out his country like a โ€œrat.โ€

Thats exactly what happened. Israel cornered him.

To the surprise of some officials in Kyiv, no one from the U.S. bothered to ask Ukraine to share its expertise in how to defend against drones before starting the offensive in Iran, Simon Shuster and Nancy A. Youssef report. theatln.tc/AFPCstm6

Trump helps MAGA influencers flee Middle East war zone on private jet Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz, dogwalker Sarah Daither, former lobbyist Jay Footlik, and others managed to escape on a private plane thanks to the White House.

Trump and DOGE budget cuts to Middle East State Department operations have caused difficulty for up to 1 mn Americans trying to evacuate the region.
But.
If you are a MAGA influencer and dog walker, DC will send a private jet for you.

Today in Budapest, Hungarian authorities took seven Ukrainian citizens hostage. The reasons are still unknown, as well as their current well-being, or the possibility of contacting them.

These seven Ukrainians are employees of state-owned Oschadbank, who were operating two bank cars transiting between Austria and Ukraine and carrying cash as part of regular services between state banks.

In fact, we are talking about Hungary taking hostages and stealing money. If this is the โ€œforceโ€ announced earlier today by Mr Orban, then this is a force of a criminal gang. This is state terrorism and racketeering.

We have already sent an official note demanding an immediate release of our citizens. 

We will also address the European Union with the request to provide a clear qualification of Hungaryโ€™s unlawful actions, hostage-taking, and robbery.

Statement by Oschadbank:

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.

And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?

This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

Trump is now boasting about his wars and is openly admitting that his next target is Cuba. The local population is already suffering from power cuts and supply shortages due to the current blockade and the regime change in Venezuela, their primary oil supplier.
