Government shutdown hits spring break travel with hours-long TSA lines A partial shutdown impacting the Department of Homeland Security left some travelers waiting hours at airport security checkpoints.

We offered to fund TSA. No conditions. Republicans refused.

They want the hostage, to extract more ICE money with. No ICE reforms

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Lol.

Maga is government by entertainment. Its sadism. Noem, Iran, Dept of War, using video games as propaganda, on and on. Meanwhile we are all living in the real world.

MAGA loves a superficial charlatan...noem's plastic style over substance is perfect. Disdain for government wrapped up for entertainment at the expense of terrorizing fellow citizens. Noem is the flashiest epitome of MAGA. In the end ice barbie was too over the top for even trump.

Olson: Even as shooting survivors share heartbreaking testimony, the GOP remains unmoved Annunciation families have trekked repeatedly to the Capitol to lobby for gun restrictions. Their words are falling on deaf ears, columnist Rochelle Olson writes.

Minnesotans are resolved to protect our children.

It’s time for Republican legislators to step up.

Americans trust federal scientists more than RFK, Jr., poll suggests When it comes to health advice, more people trust the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association than they do federal health agencies, according to a new poll

Trump can't simply say, "I won!" and stop the war because that would leave Israel vulnerable. Trump has committed you and your children to fighting in the Middle East forever without consulting you or your representatives in Congress. Netanyahu knew what he was doing when he engineered this.

Cricket: Tell Kristi, I want her to know it was me.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Great write up. The headline is a bit misleading. The tea party wasn't grass roots...if it ever was, it was coopted by astro turfers. What is happening on the left right now is in earnest. Dems need to take it seriously.

Senate Republicans just voted to block our War Powers Resolution & allow Trump's regime-change war of choice in Iran. Once again, they're contracting out their constitutional duties to Donald Trump, despite the will of their constituents.

Shameful.

Pure godless evil.

The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution:

- declared war without Congressional authorization

- ignoring multiple court orders

- impounding Congressional authorized funds

- ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly

It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.

Jayapal to Noem: "None of these four US citizens were charged with a crime, none had their citizenship questioned, and all were lawfully exercising their First Amendment rights. Do you have anything you want to say to them?"

More of the "you are terrorizing American citizens". Noem is and not enough people are hammering this home.

The "median voter" theory of Democratic renewal really needs to have an account for what must be done about right wing propaganda's impact on that median voter. Via @brianbeutler.bsky.social:

Everything is so dumb. I mean, so dumb. Yay nanny state. Just idiots.

Just gross.

How many and which MN gop state legislators are vulnerable this fall? Send them packing.

I was thrilled to see they decided to bring back the measles plot from season one because it’s so relevant right now. We’re on the brink of losing our measles elimination status, yet I still hear people brush off measles like it’s no big deal.

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

just thinking about how USAID was dismantled under the rationale of cost savings but there's an unlimited budget for war
