I feel the same way. I’m an atheist too and have never agreed more with someone about separation of church and state. He describes it in such a way that EVERYONE can relate to, and that’s not easy to do.

But I have a special place in my heart for Jasmine. She’s scrappy as hell and I LOVE it

Jared Polis, Gov of Colorado, just pardoned Tina Peters (a 2020 election conspiracist who broke the law) at the demand of Trump

I’m shocked and sickened

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.

She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.

"I'm with the veteran who came back home."

Maine is home to one of the largest veteran populations per capita in America.

Senator Collins:

I'm asking you, not as your opponent, but as a Mainer and a veteran who has seen too many people die.

You can stop this war machine before it chews up any more lives.

If you still have a conscience somewhere under all that concern, we need you to find it.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

So far, we’ve gotten into:

1. The oil-tanker escort business
2. The shipping-insurance business
3. The militia-arms and finance business

And it’s only Tuesday.

As soon as they changed the name to "Department of War" it was obvious that we were cooked.

REPORTER: Yesterday you told us Israel was going to strike Iran and that's why we needed to get involved. But today the president said Iran--

RUBIO: No. Were you there yesterday?

REPORTER: Yes. I asked the question

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to.

Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

I watched @maddow.bsky.social last night and could see she was really pissed at the obliteration of natl sec experts by Patel et al, esp with this war. I wonder if Trump WANTS Iran to do a terrorist attack on US soil so he has his own Pearl Harbor & can assume Americans will rally around his war.

A oil prices have conveniently skyrocketed and no one can trace the money because its in a Qatari bank account.

You can see the smile creeping on his face as he's talking because he's so proud that he's getting away with something so corrupt.

On behalf of the 8 Maine voters in our family, I just called offices of Senator Collins, Sen King, and Rep Golden. I urge everyone to call their Congress people to fight trump and his war and his tariffs and his deportation camps and everything else he is doing to destroy this country. IMPEACH!

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

Fuck you, you fucking piece of shit. It wasn’t in the plan because you HAVE no place you idiot!.. Remember that they lambasted Biden for the evacuation of Afghanistan … let’s see the #PedoInChief get the same treatment times 10000.

Translation: he didn't have enough weapons to fight his war of choice and so he is blaming Ukraine

March 2, 2026 The Economist’s Middle East correspondent Gregg Carlstrom noted that Trump appears to be workshopping the causes for his attacks on Iran and his goals for the war by talking to journalists.
