Kristi Noem Misled Congress About Corey Lewandowski’s Role in DHS Contracts Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Noem denied that Corey Lewandowski had any role in approving contracts. But internal DHS records and interviews with current and former agency staffer...

Kristi Noem personally approved all DHS contracts over a certain threshold.

But before the contracts reached her, they had to be approved by political appointees. Lewandowski was typically the last to OK a contract before Noem, DHS officials said.

I’m old enough to remember when killing children in a war was a horrible thing to be ashamed of doing. But, then again, sexually abusing children would have gotten you arrested-not elected.
Shame on all the collaborators.

Map snapshot depicting the predicted relative anomalousness of surface temperatures from the ECMWF ensemble over the Western U.S. in about a week from now. A a huge region of bright orange and red colors (depicting extremely high warm temperature anomalies) is centered right in the middle of the map, and covers essentially the entire region.

Lots of buzz online about an upcoming major March heatwave for the American SW & California. And in this case, it does indeed appear increasingly likely than an extremely anomalous and even record-breaking heatwave may envelop much of the SW about a week from now.

These far-right conspiracists are pushing Trump to take control of voting Election deniers are lobbying the president to declare a national emergency.

Guess who's pushing Trump to declare a national emergency & assume control of the 2026 elections? A bunch of far-right conspiracy theorists & election deniers. They failed to convince Trump in 2020 to seize voting machines. Might they succeed this time?

1/3 I somehow missed this article when it first dropped, but it’s worth a revisit: Washington’s influence machine is increasingly paying social-media “influencers” to push political narratives - with far fewer rules than traditional lobbying. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Great points from @donmoyn.bsky.social here: Dems will at some point have to break Musk's control over the US government.

"The scale of Musk’s power makes it hard to dislodge him from government, even as the extreme nature of his views make it unsustainable to treat him as a neutral contractor."

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

It’s Monday and Trump Is Already Losing: Texas Dems Break Turnout Records, Court Blocks Mass Deportations, Kari Lake’s Actions Erased, and Virginia Schools Set To Ban Jan 6 Lies They tried to rewrite history—so we bolted the truth to the Capitol wall

Republicans thought they had Texas on lock—they were WRONG. Nearly 4.5 million voters just turned the state upside down, and for the first time since 2020, Democrats actually OUTNUMBERED the GOP. This isn't just a record; it's the regime’s worst nightmare.

See the numbers they’re trying to hide:

At least some Americans are benefiting from Trump’s Iran War.

Terrible tragedies are coming. And the Republican Party owns them. Trump has thrown America into financial crisis, expanding war, and a surging terror threat. The only good news is that he's all-but-guaranteed Republicans will lose in November.

Miles Taylor: “Republicans own this…They lashed themselves to the president with ball-and-chain oblivion. Now there’s no daylight left between them and the decisions producing $100 oil… a financial crisis… and a terror threat level that’s blinking red.”

NEWS

Trump DOJ offers a deferred prosecution agreement to Halkbank, the Turkish state-run bank charged with laundering billions in Iranian oil money.

Trump repeatedly tried to end this case in his first term—per John Bolton, as a favor to one of the "dictators he liked" (i.e. Erdogan).

Reports of the demise of irony have been greatly exaggerated

A year ago, Trump lambasted Zelensky in the Oval Office, pressing Ukraine to surrender

Trump said, “You don’t have the cards” and JD Vance attacked him for not wearing a suit

Now Trump is begging Ukraine to help in his war against Iran

Department of high irony:
Trump on Supreme Court —

“I think the Supreme Court ought to be ashamed of itself…I got to live with these people. And they’ll only vote bad, and I couldn’t care less at this point. They have hurt this country so badly because they haven’t had the guts to do what’s right.”

I think they may have just announced it.

Or, put differently, the insurrectionists were successful in that those who are currently in power do not believe that they were insurrectionists.

Julie K. Brown is a hero.

This is what happens when one of the stupidest people in history is in charge of your government.

News: CBS News Justice correspondent Scott MacFarlane is exiting the network, it was announced on the network’s morning editorial call.

Anthony Blinken says Israel tried to pressure Obama to bomb Iran, warning they’d do it with or without the U.S. Obama refused. Trump caved to the same tactic. Also worth noting: Obama’s name doesn’t appear in the Epstein tapes.

Thanks, llg, you too!

AI fakes spread disinformation. Is the distrust they create even worse? Manipulated images undermine our shared reality—and the democracy built upon it.

A few weeks ago, I saw a group of people in a Facebook comments section trying to figure out if a picture of Ilhan Omar was real. (It was not.) I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I wrote about what I'm calling "strategic memes against public participation." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Jake’s post.

Trump has the concept of a strategy.

As the U.S. economy begins to collapse, never forget that both J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio wholeheartedly supported Trump’s disastrous Iran war fiasco.

Don’t worry, America. The House Republican majority is working hard for you at Trump’s golf resort in Miami this week.
