CORREA: What do you suggest I tell my constituents? Have a passport with you all the time?

NOEM: No. I would tell your citizens to be grateful they live in this country where President Trump is upholding the law. We will help them self-deport.

CORREA: These are American citzens!

I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.

Faced with the possibility of a tragedy of immense proportions, I make a heartfelt appeal to all the parties involved to assume the moral responsibility of halting the spiral of violence before it becomes an unbridgeable chasm. May diplomacy regain its proper role, and may the well-being of peoples, who yearn for peaceful existence founded on justice, be upheld. And let us continue to pray for peace.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the β€œerasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

The first step to dealing with Trumpism is to ignore everything they say and only watch what they do.

The wealthiest are exempt from laws which work to protect them and the financial system is designed to enrich them, For the rest of us the financial system and narrative are designed to make an equitable America seem out of reach while more of our productivity and wealth goes to the top 5%

Money in Politics Roundup β€” February 2026 These stories on campaign finance and influence peddling are shaping the midterms.

Since returning to office, President Trump has added about $3 billion to his net worth β€” two-thirds of which came from his cryptocurrency ventures. The scale of these profits, and the way he has monetized the White House to generate them, is unprecedented. Learn more: bit.ly/3MSYmBN

We Need to Talk About the Right’s New Voter Suppression Target: Women The SAVE Act would make it harder for married women in particular to vote, and that is just one part of the MAGA right's misogynist project.

"This cannot be taken strictly as an accidental byproduct of more general anti-democratic measures. Rather, I think it should be analyzed in the context of a wider constellation of misogynistic views on the right, including the extremist push to deny women the franchise."
