Small town, big world . . . ❌👑

Lindsey is particularly blood thirsty for wars he won't be fighting or sending his kids to fight. It's all just a fun game of talking tough by a small man.

BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.

This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

NYT: In war’s first week, a punishing military campaign with no coherent endgame

I spend a lot of time criticizing the U.S. media’s failures to confront the fascist regime. But I think the NY Times and other outlets are showing serious skepticism about this appalling war. The coverage is far less sycophantic than in the Iraq war, for example. They need to keep exposing the lies.

Sharpton: "We're still here! We've come this far by faith. It was against the law to read and write! It was against the law to marry, but we've come this far by faith. I don't care what they do in Washington, I care what we do in the community. We've beat people bigger than Trump!"

So let me get this straight ...

1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil

I’m frankly a bit surprised Trump fired Noem. It shows weakness and reminds people that accountability is possible.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

NOEM: Joe Biden failed North Carolina

ROSS: Listen to me!

Sen. COONS: Will you rule out deploying ICE or CBP to polling places in November?

Noem: There are no plans.

Coons: Will you rule it out?

Noem: *dodges*

Coons: You may be unfamiliar with the federal statute.

Noem: *dodges*

Coons: Will you issue a directive?

Noem: *dodges*

Lindsey Graham's evidence on Fox News of Iran's "imminent threat" is a bunch of stuff that happened decades ago, then he brings up Hitler and 1939

So billions will be spent and lives will be lost for nothing?

SCHIFF: Don't you think in aftermath of a shooting you should provide only vetted information? How will you gain the trust of people if you're pushing out false info about the shootings of American citizens?

NOEM: I work every day to get out factual information

SCHIFF: Well, you didn't that day

Robert Garcia: Hillary Clinton did not take the Fifth Amendment a single time. Trump needs to man up and come before the Oversight Committee.

Last week, Lauren Boebert was unapologetic for sending photos to Benny Johnson from the deposition, all while mocking Hillary Clinton.

However, here she sounds panicked after Hillary angrily calls her out for doing it, promising not to do it again for the rest of the closed door testimony.

Hillary could have done herself a huge favor by learning the phrase “you’re a fucking joke” years ago

It probably goes without saying, but just in case: they don’t attack iran like this unless they know there *aren’t* nukes.

Pete Hegseth is declaring war on higher education. He wants soldiers who will follow illegal orders.

Can't even spit out "diligently"

It will be tough for America’s global reputation to recover after this absolutely shameful vote.

We just cannot be the country we have long aspired to be if our government treats refugees as something less than “men ... created equal [and] endowed ... with certain unalienable Rights.”

Anyone in government more smug than Bessent?

‘He gave me my wings’: Jesse Jackson opened doors for Black women in politics Jackson, who died Tuesday, worked to diversify the electorate and brought Black women into Democratic politics who ascended to positions of power.

Spent today talking to just a few of the Black women who credit Jesse Jackson with their start in national politics. By inviting them in, he ensured they would help shape democracy for years to come. My latest on the coalition he built as part of his towering legacy: 19thnews.org/2026/02/jess...

FBI will not provide the BCA access to evidence gathered from Pretti shooting, BCA says Minnesota criminal investigators have again been denied access to evidence and other materials collected by federal authorities after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, state officials said Monday.

Minnesota criminal investigators have again been denied access to evidence and other materials collected by federal authorities after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, state officials said Monday.

Wow.

Ron Johnson on Alex Pretti: "They got their martyrs, didn't they? They got their martyrs. I think it's sick."

MAGAZINER: Has ICE hired anyone who was charged with a crime related to the January 6 riot?

LYONS: I don't have that information, but I would say no

I know the Sgt. Schultz routine seems to work for GOP legislators, but claiming you’re unaware of massively viral videos of ICE misconduct when you’re the director of ICE just makes you sound hopelessly incompetent and out of the loop.

"And we left with all of my children, my nannies, and my wife" is going to stay with me for a long time
