WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.
She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.
Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.
I need to stress something here:
The US destroying Iran’s navy is about as impressive as prime Michael Jordan dunking on a toddler.
I know the administration needs something to brag about, but this outcome was literally never in question.
Bunch of Senators on both sides sounding the alarm about possible boots on the ground in Iran after their classified briefing today.
I was told Kamala was going to send my children to fight in Iran. What happened?
A democratic candidate just won in the *checks notes*
Arkansas state house special election.
Flip from R to D.
Check out the number of votes.

You may not know Alexis Wilkins, but she may be among the best-protected country singers in the US. FBI agents have ferried her to a British resort before a Windsor Castle dinner and to a Nashville hair salon. Wilkins, 27, is FBI Director Kash Patel’s girlfriend.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
New YouGov poll finds that for the first time, a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump *strongly.* His overall approval is down to 38%, a new second-term low.
When is the last time a majority has disapproved strongly of a president?
so Iran has apparently knocked out and destroyed / disabled to some extent two U.S. THAAD batteries
This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."
She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!
Context:
The Texas Supreme Court just blocked the judge’s order that would have kept Democratic polls open until 9 p.m.
But don't let them trick you: anyone who was in line by 7PM STILL has the legal right to vote and have it counted. Anyone after will have their vote collected, but counting isn’t certain.
Heartbreaking. I gifted this article so you could read about them. May their memories be a blessing.

They were from Nebraska, Florida, Iowa and Minnesota. One was wrapping up his final deployment and hoped to open a martial arts studio.
The four named were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command in Des Moines. They were Capt. Cody Khork and Sgts. Nicole Amor, Declan Coady and Noah Tietjens.
What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*.
In March. Imagine November.
I broke it down here:

What we know, 11:30pm.
1. Progressives oust 3 Dems who were helping GOP in NC.
2. Dems flip legislative seat in AR.
3. Al Green + Crenshaw in big trouble.
4. #TXSen? Talarico up. GOP runoff.
5. Right holds court seat in AR, but no blowout.
6. VERY close races: Berger-Pace in NC, Arkansas SOS.
Texas is close to not being a functioning democracy
It’s the hardest place to vote because Republicans have put impediments in place based on totally bogus vote fraud concerns - that they just make up
The courts have become complicit in this effort
What we’re seeing in Texas now is a disgrace
WATCH— @ossoff.bsky.social : “Trump owes 🇺🇸 a real explanation. 2AM posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. Trump was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch, hours before service members endured missile salvos.”

Watch this.
19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance.
As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. 🇺🇸
We should all be so much angrier than we are. It doesn’t have to be this way. #MedicareForAllNOW
They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

By the way, Democrats have now flipped 27 legislative seats in Trump 2.0.
Republicans are still stuck at zero.
Even in 2017-18, the GOP managed to flip a few. This time, just a goose egg, despite several good chances.
NEW: The Ayatollah’s son is the leading candidate to replace Khamenei. “If he is elected, it suggests it is a much more hard-line Revolutionary Guard side of the regime that is now in charge.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/w...

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in the Arkansas state House.
The Republican governor had initially called the special election in June, but a court moved up the contest.
China is testing a train that will go 280mph, making it the fastest conventional train in the world.
The US can't get its shit together to build a single new line.
This is a powerful decision. Note Judge Brown's invitations for Plaintiff to seek sanctions and broad injunctive relief against ICE covering not only the Plaintiff but also those who are similarly situated.

The judge states the government's "brief largely
ignores the facts and dedicates less than two pages to relevant legal argument; the balance is a boilerplate screed with language befitting a high school term paper."
Hell is coming for all these people and the tribunals will expose their inhumanity.
