Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.
And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.
• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree
Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"
Jeffries: "We're in the middle of an affordability crisis. I know Donald Trump denies it exists. In fact, he thinks the most important thing Republicans should focus on right now is voter suppression legislation. That's extraordinary."
In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing
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.
This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans.
I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:
- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
Please don’t forget to vote today! Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina are kicking off the 2026 midterm cycle with their primary elections.
Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Our taxes are paying for this instead of healthcare.
Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
The acquisition that will change media as we know it...

Television pioneer Fred Rogers, gone 23 years ago today.
His acceptance speech for the Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award is always worth a watch.

BREAKING
The headquarters of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet has been struck by an Islamic Republic missile.
This psychopath has the nuclear codes, god help us all
🚨BREAKING: Pro-voting groups sued Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) for refusing to turn over key records related to his office’s sweeping 2025 voter roll purge — a purge that canceled nearly 471,000 registrations, about 6% of the state’s voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
@msnowcomms.bsky.social wtf your only reporting on Iran & Israel, Iran is bombing Bahrain, Qatar, Houthies have teamed w Iran, UAE BOMBINGS, The entire middle East is on fire!!!!!
President Obama had a deal with Iran that trump ripped up without replacing, and now we're in an unnecessary war with Iran that he started without Congress, because he's a small, petty, envious punk.
Pete Hegseth and Trump's "Department of War" are calling its attack on Iran "Epic Fury." At least the initials are right...
"Assemble the Board of Peace - I'm starting a war".

It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.
Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland.
Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M.
America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech.
This is what integrity looks like.

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending *** As of the end of January, there have been no convictions."
Weiser: Antitrust laws aren’t enforced only by the federal government — they’re also enforced by state attorneys general. So whatever corrupt dealings or presidential whims might occur, we still have the authority to review mergers
When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come. Not only is she supporting the SAVE Act, but during the Biden administration she opposed the For the People Act and the Joe Manchin compromise bill — the Freedom to Vote Act.
