MELONI SAYS NO US REQUEST TO USE ITALY BASES

Fighting in Lebanon expands to areas that are not traditional Hezbollah strongholds In some cities, automated calls are sowing fear among residents with warnings of strikes that, more often than not, don’t take place

“I don’t know what’s going on – we have nothing to do with any of this.”

Fear and anger spread in Lebanon as Israel begins targeting areas outside traditional Hezbollah strongholds.

My report from Sidon

‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

I wonder if ranked voting would help at all.

Imagine how bleak things are that our democratic choice was between him and Dr Oz.
This is our choice in America. Two monsters that want pogroms and state repression to start against human beings they don't like. And we're supposed to choose from them.

This is what Israel wanted, the freedom to bomb whoever they wanted to.

Like if another candidate for office put me in this advertisement I would probably say something.

Isn’t Stephen Miller’s wife Hispanic?

As filings close, Republican Steve Daines withdraws from U.S. Senate race Daines praised Alme in a press release issued after campaign filing ended.

I was on a flight tonight, so I missed the extraordinary decision by Senator Daines to quit his reelection race minutes before the deadline to pave the way for his chosen successor without triggering a competitive GOP primary. montanafreepress.org/2026/03/04/r...

Because they can.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

I was thinking that today. There are too many crimes to even keep track of, it’s like everyone has given up trying.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

BREAKING on MS NOW:

The House Oversight Committee just voted to subpoena Pam Bondi as part of the panel's Epstein investigation.

The vote was 24-19. 5 Republicans voted in favor.

James Talarico tonight:

"It doesn't matter what happens in this Republican runoff. We already know who we're running against: The billionaire mega-donors and their corrupt political system. Not any one politician ... We are running against the broken system and the powerful people who broke it."

That frigate was at the international fleet review in India BTW, along with US forces. This amounts to sinking a ship under a flag of truce so it's even worse than it seems

Trump wants to distract from the failing economy, ICE murders, and his corruption scandals

Netanyahu wants to distract from the Gaza genocide, West Bank settler attacks, and his own corruption scandals.

Both are using the same playbook: wage war to blot out everything else.

Pete Hegseth suggested this morning that reporting on the 6 U.S. service members who were killed in Trump's Iran war is an example of the news media 'trying to make Trump look bad.'

Dem senator stuns CNN anchor with 'just keep killing' strategy for Iran war Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) expressed full-throated support for Israel's plan to kill anyone who is appointed by the Iranian regime to lead the nation.A joint U.S.-Israeli military operation decapitate...

What are our objectives?

Trump famously said, “what’s the point of having nuclear weapons if you never use them”?

Update from John Ismay

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that the U.S. used a submarine-launched torpedo to sink an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean — the first time an American submarine has been used to fire a torpedo against an enemy ship in combat since World War II."

The “let’s flip some tables” reference is about getting the money out of politics. As Talarico has often said, this is not about Republicans vs Democrats, it’s about the ultra rich vs the rest of us, and I might add it’s about morality, good vs. evil. A great message.

Once again, a federal court affirms that Members of Congress have the right to conduct unannounced oversight visits of ICE detention facilities. The American people demand oversight, accountability and reform of the administration's inhumane immigration practices.

BREAKING: "The Justice Department has withheld thousands of documents from the Epstein files, including FBI documents that detailed a woman’s unverified allegations of sexual misconduct against President Trump," per WSJ.

I appreciate your posts so much, I just wanted to say it.
