Hey, 'Coach' Tuberville. The hijackers carried out the attacks on 9/11 were primarily from Saudi Arabia. You know, the same Saudi Arabia where baby Kushner got $2B and the baby trumps are building a new rTump Tower! So FOAD, Coach.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

'This place broke something in us': Kids languish in ICE detention long past 20-day court limit The Trump administration has detained more than 900 children — including a boy with severe autism — for longer than allowed under a decades-old legal settlement.

“One parent told us that their 5-year-old asked, ‘Are we bad people? Are they going to kill us here? That’s what these children are feeling as time goes on.”

The Trump DOJ is giving guns back to felons, including one alleged fake elector The Department of Justice is quietly restarting a decades-dormant program to restore gun rights to felons. One of them was an alleged fake elector in 2020.

This administration is quietly restoring gun rights to individuals who were convicted of felonies.

As I shared with @npr.org, there are few details about who DOJ is deciding to put on this list, and the lack of transparency could lead to violent offenders having access to deadly weapons.

Trump’s Iran Blunders Suddenly Look Darker after Damning New Leaks Hit As brutal revelations emerge about Trump’s handling of the war, a foreign policy expert explains why he won’t be able to extricate us from this debacle anytime soon—and provides a roadmap to what’s ne...

Trump officials privately pessimistic there's a strategy to end war, but they fear telling this to Trump, NYT reports. On the pod, @profsaunders.bsky.social brilliantly explains how this shows perils of "personalist" rule and the total absence of constraints on him:

We attacked Iran with no clear plan for regime change, Israeli security sources say If regime holds, control of enriched uranium may be ultimate measure of US-Israeli success, insiders say * Middle East crisis – live updates Israel did not have a realistic plan for regime change when it attacked Iran, multiple Israeli security sources have said, with expectations that airstrikes could drive a popular uprising driven by “wishful thinking” rather than hard intelligence. Iran has now survived nearly two weeks of bombing raids and the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and Trump is publicly contemplating ending an increasingly costly war. Continue reading...

For the second time today, Senator Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social , surely this is impeachable stuff. The tyranny here is off the charts.

Do you want the House to send you articles of impeachment? Will you vote to convict? Will you publicly call for it?

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.

Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.

Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.

The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.

Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at http://senate.gov and http://house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.

This is hideous and horrible, and the people pushing for it deserve to spend the rest of their lives in a cage.

"Oil prices are up about 50%. You should expect gas prices to rise about 50%... Gas... about $3 a gallon... you should therefore expect gas to be a bit above $4 a gallon...

So if you get an opportunity to stop by the president's gas station when he's seeing it at $2 a gallon... definitely fill up "

Another terrible monthly jobs report for the Trump Administration and they don’t have a pandemic to blame it on.

92,000 jobs lost in February. One has to wonder how much worse it really is?
