If every person who has attempted or plans to attend a No Kings March votes Blue in the midterm election Congress can be retaken. Think about what this simple act can accomplish. Be sure you double check that you are registered to vote well in advance. This is a very patriotic act .

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

What to know about U.S.-Israel attacks on Iran The U.S. and Israel have launched major attacks on Iran that President Donald Trump says aim to crush Iran’s military and stop production of a nuclear weapon.

#ResistanceUnited #DefendersOfDemocracy apnews.com/article/iran... So the "peace president of no new wars" attacked Iran because *checks notes* over their nuclear weapons even though *checks notes* it was Donald himself who withdrew from nuclear deal because President Obama was responsible for it...

Why is Pete Hegseth trying to bully AI companies into giving him maximal control over powerful, potentially autonomous weapons? Does anyone really want the Signalgate King having this sort of power?

In his State of the Union address, President Trump demanded that Congress pass the SAVE Act, a bill that would block millions from voting by requiring a passport or birth certificate to register to vote. Stay informed by subscribing to The Briefing, our free weekly newsletter: bit.ly/3Yrz5jM

Screenshot of a news headline reporting that the U.S. Department of Defense shot down a U.S. Customs and Border Protection drone near El Paso, Texas, on February 23, 2026, after the drone entered restricted airspace. The incident is under investigation.

I had to read this headline twice.

The Department of Defense shot down a Customs and Border Protection drone. Not an enemy drone. Ours.

How does that even happen? And we are supposed to trust this? That is beyond incompetence.

It sounds a little more intense than saber rattling. He continues these outrageous actions 1) to keep everyone from talking about him & his cabinet being in the Epstein files 2) to keep us from focusing on the continuing intentional cruelty of ICE as well as his dismantling of the US Constitution

What a wonderful time to have a senile sociopath as president and a talk show drunk as defense secretary.

How to register to vote and check your registration status For the 2026 primary elections, NPR has collected deadlines and information on how to register to vote — online, in person or by mail — in every U.S. state and territory.

@npr.org recently updated its guide to U.S. voter registration deadlines to reflect online/in person/mail deadlines for the 2026 primaries. Cheers to @hansilowang.bsky.social, Brent Jones and Ben Swasey for wrangling this. apps.npr.org/voter-regist...

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Inside Epstein's very own "Oval Office": Power, peacocking, and printer toner. Epstein and his coterie had a self-aggrandizing nickname for a private office inside his Manhattan lair.

📣 LOCAL OPPOSITION is the key to stopping these concentration camps.

The president — who avoided military draft — just said he's "always wanted" to be awarded the congressional Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration.

CNN follows NPR and Politico in finding that DOJ scrubbed the Epstein files of evidence related to a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 years old.

The President boasts of "no tax on tips", but this expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on overtime," but it is taxed, and the break expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on social security," but it is taxed, and his break expires in 2028.

He also passed tax cuts for the rich. They're permanent.

U.S. has a quarter fewer immigration judges than it did a year ago. Here's why The continued drain of personnel from the already strained immigration court system has contributed to depleted staff morale, mounting case backlogs — and floundering due process.

Firing hundreds of immigration judges and court staff jeopardizes due process, further clogs an overwhelmed system, and undermines public trust in the courts.

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

NEW: The USPS changed its rules on how it postmarks ballots.

This may affect elections at every stage at which there's a mail deadline.

An underplayed one: VOTER REGISTRATION.

Many voters who send in their registration forms by mail could be postmarked late, missing out without realizing it.

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

We found the Trump administration kept about 300 kids at the Dilley detention center for more than a month, despite a long-standing legal settlement that generally limits the time children can be held in detention to 20 days.
