Starting tomorrow, rising fuel prices will affect billions of people around the world.

All because a war criminal and a moron chose to violate international law, underestimate their enemy, and mislead their own populations.
This is the world we live in.

I was asked by Jake Tapper if my push to deny Trump funding for his illegal war with Iran was a failure to "support our troops".

My answer: refusing to repeat the mistakes of the past - sending soldiers to die in pointless Middle East wars - is how we support our troops

I am fighting like hell for the State of Georgia.

DOJ aims to speed up voter roll case as deadline for removing voters looms "That ship has already all but sailed,” Michigan’s lawyers wrote.

As the DOJ belatedly attempts to speed up its drive for state voter registration rolls, lawyers for Michigan are asking the court to pump the brakes.

The friction underscores the DOJ's seeming realization that it must move quickly because voter roll purges are not permitted close to an election.

Reports of Ukraine’s Demise Are Still Exaggerated Four years after Russia began its invasion, some pundits are still forecasting doom and gloom. Never trust a weatherman.

When would be a good time to mention Operations Ajax and Boot?

Animals’ perception of time is linked to the pace of their life – new study For a starfish, most of life is literally a blur.

If you want something else to think about besides politics and war, this is a fascinating exploration of how animals’ perception of time and pace of life are interrelated:

Republicans CHOSE to cut $1 trillion from Medicaid.
 
They CHOSE not to extend the ACA tax credits to keep your premiums down.
 
They said it was too expensive. 
 
And yet, Republicans are completely fine with a reckless war with Iran that's costing billions.

Pete Hegseth is unhinged and has no idea what he is doing. He’s putting our servicemembers at risk.

He should be fired immediately.

NEWS: U.S. death toll in the Iran War rises to 7

They get enough recognition, just let one #IWD pass without the need to mention them...

US Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to Fox: “On Friday, there was $100 million of gold that came from Venezuela to the United States.

“The people of Venezuela are gonna be putting up a statue of Trump as a great liberator.”

Even though the entire regime was left in place and nothing changed.

“Mothers are worried we’re gonna have a draft.”

KAROLIE: “President Trump wisely does not remove options off the table.” 😳🤔

Just a legal note: You don't have to be in an officially declared "war" to be guilty of international war crimes.

Karoline Leavitt: “It’s not part of the current plan right now… but the president… wisely keeps his options on the table.”

She’s talking about a fucking draft.

Trump’s war of choice in Iran has already cost us $5 BILLION. All while he’s gutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of Americans.

This past year has been the longest decade in a century.

This #IWD, we celebrate the power, resilience, and strength of women everywhere. That also means protecting access to repro health care—because the ability to make informed decisions about our bodies, our health, and our futures is fundamental to equality, dignity, and opportunity for all.

A victory for Trump, Putin and Netanyahu.

Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov: “To be honest, I don’t even understand now how anyone can call on others to follow the norms and principles of international law. In fact, it no longer exists.”

Why

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of March 8, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Eric Swalwell:
"After all, they also deported a 6 year old battling Stage 4 cancer who is a US citizen, so there is also no bottom for these folks."
