This is the female American pilot after being shot down by friendly fire, punched out, landed, & is smiling, and cool. Courage & professionalism of the highest level.
This is a refreshingly positive face of America to the world. All our servicemebers are awesome. And especially our women warriors.🇺🇸
Breaking WSJ:
The Trump admin plans to abandon its defense of Trump's executive orders sanctioning several law firms.
DOJ — as soon as today — is expected to drop its appeals of four rulings that struck down Trump's actions against Jenner & Block, WilmerHale, Perkins Coie, and Susman Godfrey.
“In summary, excising RNA vaccine research from the NIH research portfolio is antithetical to current goals of making America healthy.”

There was no imminent threat. The narrative keeps shifting. The nuclear claims are contradictory. So let’s start there.
As we just saw in the Pentagon press-con, there is no clear strategy.
This bipartisan Iran War Powers Resolution has been sitting with Speaker Johnson since June 2025.
🧵
Trump has assumed the power of a king – to decide whether people live or die, based on his personal preference.
We see it in Iran, on the high seas, and in the streets of Minneapolis.
We must take away Trump’s license to kill and re-impose the rule of law.

Stanley Plotkin is a living legend in the vaccine world. He often attended ACIP meetings & I was lucky to meet him years ago.
Kudos to @helenbranswell.bsky.social for profiling his life and accomplishments at a time when vaccines are under attack. We need his wisdom & insights more than ever. 👇
Trump seems lost as to which lie he wants to tell. We are in a war on truth; but truth can win – if it finds friends.

Wait. The plan is there is no plan in Iran?
That's according to Lindsey Graham.
@samsteindc.bsky.social and @saletan.bsky.social talk that on the latest episode of Bulwark Takes.
A fourth US service member has reportedly been killed in Trump’s illegal war
And the Pentagon confirmed that three American F-15 fighter jets were shot down over Kuwait-apparently by friendly fire
A despicable waste of life and resources in a wholly unnecessary conflict

The Trump administration has initiated actions that would strip protections from nearly 88 MILLION ACRES of public lands.
That's equivalent to 117 Yosemite national parks.
American public lands belong to the American people, not to billionaire drilling and mining CEOs. Period.
" [CMS] is required to give the state an opportunity for an administrative hearing to challenge its finding of noncompliance. On January 13, the state requested a hearing. Under its regulations, CMS has until March 7 (60 days after January 6) to schedule the hearing; it has not yet done so."

They all follow the Trump playbook. It's not even working for him anymore.
But inside her brain, it is always offline.
I spoke w/ 3 super smart people on 3 big topics (w/nods to independent media)!
Bec Ingber on the law of war @becingber.bsky.social
Chris Geidner on legal news (& what Law Dork has uncovered) @lawdorknews.bsky.social
& Marc Elias on the war on democracy @marcelias.bsky.social @democracydocket.com
Must-read new report!
It's excellent work, providing crucial insight into how service to Social Security applicants and beneficiaries deteriorated over the past year.
It's especially important now that SSA leadership has removed most customer-facing metrics from public view.
Crow: "Friday night, Trump filmed this tough video where he talked about the cost of war & how hard it's gonna be & how we're gonna lose troops, then he literally went behind the curtain & hosted a million dollar a plate dinner & dance party at Mar-a-Lago. That tells you everything you need to know"

The Trump Administration doesn’t have a plan to lower the cost of your health care.
This proposal isn’t a fix – it would put people at risk of HUGE medical bills and perpetuates our already broken health care system. We need universal, affordable health care for everyone.
UPDATE ON TARIFFS: The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected the Trump admins attempt to delay/postpone the effective date of the SCOTUS tariff ruling. Trump admin asked for a 90 day delay. The circuit court granted the delay.

NEW: A federal appeals court swiftly rejected the Trump administration’s request to delay next steps in the fight over tariff refunds for importers after the US Supreme Court struck down the president’s signature economic policy

Rahman’s attorney said it is “unprecedented” for someone to be ejected from a State of the Union address for standing up silently, never mind being criminally charged for it.
The charge can come with up to six months in prison.
The ratfucking of elections through silent destruction of the post office continues apace.

Ortega Democrat for Congress Statement on Trump’s crime against peace The President of the United States has done what the Constitution expressly forbids: he has taken this nation to war by personal decree; without the consent of Congress; and without the approval of the American people whose sons and daughters will bear its costs. The Founders did not theorize about the dangers of unchecked executive power. They lived them—in the edicts of a distant king, in the obstruction of the administration of justice, in wars begun without the voice of the governed. They wrote what they knew: war powers, surrendered to a single individual, constituted an absolute tyranny. That power belongs to the Congress. That decision belongs to the people. A president who would commit this nation to war on his authority alone is not a guardian of our security. He is a threat to it. As a concerned citizen, I will not be silent as the constitutional order is dismantled in plain sight. As a congressional candidate, I will not stand by as this Congress abdicates its oath. As a member of Congress, I will not submit to war by executive fiat. For all of it strikes at the very heart of what this country is and what it must never become. History will record what was done in this moment. History will also record what we did in response. My answer will be clear: I stood for the Constitution, for the rule of law, and for the American people. This government derives its just powers from our consent and we do not consent to this. We did not arrive here by accident. We arrived here by acquiescence. Each transgression that went unanswered taught this president one lesson: that there are no consequences. This is a moment that calls for courage. The courage to break this cycle of impunity. There is no turning the page on this era. It must end with prosecutions.

The depth of depravity never ends. A judge appointed by Trump is in the Epstein files. Telling her uncle who was in the files how to respond to SA accusations. We need to rid our country of these despicable pedos and pedo protectors now. The judge is a woman protecting her uncle. Listen & learn more

Schumer & Jeffries wanted this war with Iran.
They're only upset they weren't included.
Just read their statements.
Earlier this month, Schumer said, "I have many jobs as leader … and one is to fight for aid to Israel, all the aid that Israel needs.”
Look at the money AIPAC gives Jeffries.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard is closing the Strait of Hormuz, threatening the 20% of global oil that passes through it. Trump's "Operation Epic Fury" is pushing us toward higher gas and grocery prices. Elections have consequences. Organize! Speak out and vote!

🚩This Is Not How Democracies Go to War. It’s How Dictators Do.
Donald Trump has said almost nothing to justify going to war against Iran. The real reason may be something he dare not speak of.
