“I still don’t fully think it’s real. I wish I got to tell him I love him one more time.”

NEW: Clemency for Tina Peters would be unprecedented, based on my analysis of Gov Polis' 25 commutations. Peters hasn't shown remorse, taken accountability, or sought to restore harm. No Polis commutation was for a harsh sentence alone and Peters' would be the shortest by 30+ yrs

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

‘We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

We already went through this shit in Iraq. You don’t fund the GOPs dumb as fuck wars. Period. This isn’t hard. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

Wow: It appears Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) will not run for reelection.

This comes just days after Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) also announced he will not seek reelection.

Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop?

It could be worse, John Fetterman could have chased after me with a gun.

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

Here we go again, America. We have to give a President another blank check and give him as much as he wants to shoot unlimited $20 million interceptors at $20,000 drones and if we don’t we are unpatriotic so pay up.

Senate Thwarts Bid to Curb Trump’s War Powers on Iran

Forgone conclusion this would fail but—as the post 9/11 era showed us—important to get such votes on the record.

Just ask those three NC dems who got primaried for voting for ICE:

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.

And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?

This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

It’s your money and this regime is using our money as if it’s their own personal piggy bank. I definitely want a fucking check from this government for everything they owe me—tariffs, this stupid war I ran that’s driven up gas prices ,straight up theft from these two and Musk, Trump et. Al.

It’s not just that the Administration isn’t answering questions about Iran.

They’re lying.

James Talarico tonight:

"It doesn't matter what happens in this Republican runoff. We already know who we're running against: The billionaire mega-donors and their corrupt political system. Not any one politician ... We are running against the broken system and the powerful people who broke it."

I don't think "affair" is the really right term when he was texting a congressional aide explicit messages and she wrote back "this is going too far, boss"

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Ah yes, Mr Tough Guy With A Bullshit Story now breaks the bone of a fellow vet protesting this latest chapter in the Forever War.

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Are Having a Hard Time Getting Help From the State Department “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

Americans in the Middle East calling the U.S. State Department hotline after Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Americans to contact it were hearing an automated message saying, “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.”

“I oppose the war but I voted to fund it because I had no choice” will be the talking point of too many.

This is psychotic behavior by Sheehy. My goodness

Just so you know, this is not one of those times...

I voted in Dallas County today. The texas.gov site wouldn't tell me where to go, so I went to where I voted in the '24 presidential election. They said I was at the wrong place, and gave me the address I needed to go to. That place then informed me I had to go somewhere else.
