Pentagon Tells Congress First Week of Iran War Cost More Than $11.3 Billion www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/w...
NYC neighbors came home with a treasure trove of food, so this morning I'm having a bialy. Wiki says they are like bagels but "instead of a hole in the middle, it has a depression." Yes, this is the right food for me.
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.
Dr. Oz emailed an invite to a Valentine's Day party in 2016 to Jeffrey Epstein.
Oz appears several more times in the Epstein files, including an email sent from an account under his name to Epstein on Jan. 1, 2016, that has the subject line "Dr oz." The body of the message is completely redacted.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Trump’s Director of Election Security Is an Election Denier www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...
In the least shocking news ever, the DOJ illegally redacted Trump's name from manyEpstein files. [And of course that doesn't count the ones they just didn't release because they are about Trump]

🚨BREAKING: Puerto Rico has been part of the United States since 1898, and people still act confused that Puerto Ricans are American.
States that joined after Puerto Rico:
• Oklahoma — 1907
• New Mexico — 1912
• Arizona — 1912
• Alaska — 1959
• Hawaii — 1959
Yet somehow this is still news to folks.
Why isn’t every politician, leader, prosecutor, and news channels focused on this. The President is accused with significant proof of killing and raping minors.
He is us, and we are him.
Bad Bunny is all of us tonight.
We are woven into the history of this nation, and no amount of hate will erase us.
Love will conquer hate tonight and always.
Keep the faith, America!

Trump’s Call to ‘Nationalize’ Elections Adds to State Officials’ Alarm www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/u...
Precisely this.
It’s too classified to send to *some* members of Congress. But there are absolutely folks who are (or could be) cleared to be read in.
Even if it’s got to be a Gang of Eight only issue, send it to Congress.
We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
This is my favorite guide.
Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.
BlueSky won’t let me share the video, but you can see one of the ICE agents rip a gun out of this man’s waistband *before* the shooting starts.
From this angle, it’s hard to see how this was anything but an execution, unless simply carrying a gun is now illegal in America.
🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇
There you have it.
ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.
It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.
The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.
You’re watching the administration lose control of the narrative in real time.
The more they show their supporters that they don’t give a shit about their gun rights, the worse it gets.
I’ve seen over a dozen right-wing commentators call out the propaganda. That’s progress.
Breaking NYT:
The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.
Trump Inflation Hit Average US Family With $1,625 in Higher Costs Last Year: Report
“While the president pledged that he would end inflation and now claims that prices are down, the data reflects what families are experiencing every day: higher costs that make it harder to make ends meet.”
Now that we know about this memo, it explains a hell of a lot which has happened since last May.
The Trump administration has officially abandoned its appeal after courts blocked its attempt to strip funding from schools over diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. We challenged it. And today, students & educators are better protected because of it. apnews.com/article/dei-...
