One race that won't be affected by the Dallas County mess: Per the AP, Frederick Haynes has won the Dem nomination in #TX30, the dark-blue seat Crockett is leaving behind.

Steve Toth declares victory to unseat Dan Crenshaw Steve Toth, one of the most conservative members of the Texas House, framed his challenge of Dan Crenshaw as a referendum on the ideological future of the Republican Party.

Crenshaw was the only House Republican in Texas up for reelection who didn’t get a Trump endorsement for his primary www.texastribune.org/2026/03/03/t...

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Aren’t Getting Help from the State Department β€œPlease do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East β€” but the State Dept is not helping them do it.

We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

In which other lines of work do you learn these types of things about people? There have to be a bunch, but this type of journalism certainly has a very distinct mix of tertiary psychological insights

That’s not to mention the weird proclivities of when certain people are more inclined to get on the horn.

I always use the example of a source of mine who tends to be most available when idling in their car upon arriving home to avoid/delay seeing their family.

One of the weird things about being a reporter that I did not expect when I got into this racket:

You can really tell who has their life together when trying to get someone on the phone or get some sort of followup from a source.

Russian war bloggers are watching the US' new LUCAS drones β€” and fretting about Starshield terminals Prominent milbloggers raised concerns about what the US might have learned from Russia's war after the LUCAS was deployed in combat against Iran.

"This isn't just an evolution in military affairs; it's a genuine revolution," a Russian commentator wrote of new US drones guided by Starlink.

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

The Stephen Miller v. Kristi Noem Fight Is On Trumpworld now sees Noem as "under a real impeachment threat," and a standoff is underway with the 'Prime Minister.'

Another way to look at this:

When Durbin asks Noem where she got that information, she basically had a chance to throw Stephen Miller under the bus. She did not take it (this time)
