"OK, got it, Marco. That makes no sense at all to me. I don't understand that... what he was saying was ludicrous."

Lt. Gen. @markhertling.bsky.social (Ret.) reacts to the Trump administration's latest rationale for going to war with Iran.

She lost by almost 50 points.

That is a statement, a loud and clear statement.

They were from Nebraska, Florida, Iowa and Minnesota. One was wrapping up his final deployment and hoped to open a martial arts studio.

The four named were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command in Des Moines. They were Capt. Cody Khork and Sgts. Nicole Amor, Declan Coady and Noah Tietjens.

Democratic voters in Texas scramble to find polling place amid GOP-driven switch Early voting had been countywide and saw record Democratic turnout, but the switch to precinct-only locations left many voters showing up at the wrong spot and being turned away.

NEW: Hundreds of Democratic voters in Texas scrambled to find their correct polling places on Election Day after local Republican parties rejected a joint primary.

Democratic officials are exploring court options to extend voting hours.

Total nightmare for House Republicans.

I voted in Dallas County today. The texas.gov site wouldn't tell me where to go, so I went to where I voted in the '24 presidential election. They said I was at the wrong place, and gave me the address I needed to go to. That place then informed me I had to go somewhere else.

Watch this race.

Hakeem Jeffries laundered AIPAC money to Foushee to help her defeat Nida Allam but very close nonetheless.

Tweet by Igor Bobic "Fetterman responds to Graham Platner saying he should lose his seat: “Oh, really? The guy with the Nazi tattoo? Yeah, I'm devastated by that.” "

New: At least 14 active measles cases have been reported at a troubled El Paso tent camp holding more than 3,000 immigrants, Democratic U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar said Tuesday.

"I don't mean to short circuit this whole exercise here, but watching people who voted to confirm her suddenly get all chesty about 'I had no idea' — go fuck yourselves."

@jvl.bsky.social and @samsteindc.bsky.social discuss Kristi Noem's appearance before Congress.

Amazing!

In January, we went inside the Dilley detention center. Children shared letters describing the anguish of being ripped from their lives: propub.li/4cUHm8L

After publishing that story, we learned about Edison, a 13-year-old from Chicago detained for 2+ months. Listen to Edison in his own words 👇

Me to the careers of anti-trans Dems:

Such a healthy society

I'll just note that the terms of this bet included a nuclear test, which is something Trump has said he wants to restart.

It's also been pulled and you can't bet on it anymore: polymarket.com/event/nuclea...

Thom Tillis is threatening to use procedural moves to shut down every Senate committe he's involved in if Kristi Noem does not respond to his inquiry

This is something the Democrats could have done at any point during the last 14 months, but chose not to

This is a very good point. Naziism being normalized in our party is giving the opposition endless ammo and also a free pass to do more Roman salutes. All you people who got this guy where he is today, congrats.

Exactly. First you let Platner in the door, then you get Neera Tanden retweeting Nick Fuentes, and then your big tent is a fucking Nazi hangout.

No fucking Nazi shit. Period.

GOOD.

Primary the hell out of all the collaborators.

Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.

Maryland, New Mexico Become Latest Blue States to Ban Local Contracts with ICE Governors Lujan Grisham and Moore signed laws barring local sheriffs and police from partnering with ICE’s 287(g) program, joining eight other states with similar prohibitions.

A recent bill in New Mexico that bans local and state agencies from partnering with ICE also effectively shuts down three counties’ detention programs and prevents any future ones.

Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.

the phrase “more than a dozen pregnant children” ringing in my ears www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Holy crap! Senator Richard Blumethal says Trump regime just briefed them on sending US troops to fight in Iran!!!

Shout out to Boston

Is there another definition of "embracing?"

Minnesota sues to block Trump administration's withholding of $243 million in Medicaid funds Minnesota's attorney general says his office has a strong track record of fighting Medicaid fraud.

Trump cutting off Medicaid in Minnesota for political purposes is deliberately denying medical care and imposing collective punishment on a civilian population. Policies that intentionally deprive people of essential healthcare are a crime against humanity. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

News: so Trump can bring about "Armageddon." The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) has been "inundated" with complaints since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran over the weekend, receiving more than 110 complaints from U.S. military personnel stationed at dozens of sites across the Middle East.

"He said that 'President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth," the NCO continued. "He had a big grin on his face when he said all of this which made his message seem even more crazy." MRFF told Larsen that over 110 complaints came
