In the Shadow of Fear, a Moment of Peace An unexpected encounter near the federal building DHS has been using near Minneapolis.

I missed this beautiful Native camp adjacent to the cruel Whipple Building when I was in Minneapolis last week! So moving. www.thebulwark.com/p/in-the-sha...

god help me and fuck Chuck Schumer, but it's genuinely bullshit that Schumer is the key image here. it was a party line vote, with Schumer voting against. only Dem that broke ranks was Fetterman, of course.

[WARNING: This is a bit graphic.]

A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.

In ominous sign, Texas Republicans changed voting rules, then blocked efforts to protect voters “We can’t let a small group of conspiracy theorists set the rules for Texas voters anymore."

Texans in two counties struggled to find their polling locations for primary voting Tuesday after a GOP-driven change. The secretary of state’s office failed to provide accurate information. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The DOJ has been taking down Epstein files. Here's what remains. The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released.

The Trump DOJ has been taking down Epstein files.

The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released, according to a CBS analysis — and the number continues to fluctuate.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Trump Goon Melts Down After Latest Kennedy Center Cancellation Another performance group has set off Trump’s attack dog.

Like a mob “bust-out,” Trump’s cronies have run the Kennedy Center into the ground, with closure for “renovations” covering the disaster.

Dems are really liking these Texas primary turnout numbers, I'm told. Dems pulled 200,000 more voters out than Republicans did.

I watched Rubio yesterday beg cable stations to show that phone number on their screens. And pretty much immediately they did. To learn that people who call that number were told we cannot help you… There’s never a way to say this is the worst thing they did, but it was pretty terrible.

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities

McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

Neguse demolishes Noem (2/2)

The way they all keep saying “Barack Hussein Obama” will never stop appalling me.

Give him my best!

Some of my favorite stories were illustrated by Mark!

I can’t watch this. Thanks @atrupar.com!

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?"

This is a good response.

the kind of thing that gets played at a war crimes trial

Jasmine Crockett concedes to James Talarico this morning: “With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominee. I'm committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect Democrats up and down the ballot." #TxSen

A weak person’s idea of a strong person:

TALARICO * FOR TEXAS * Tuesday, March 3 Official Statement from Talarico for Texas on Situation at Polling Locations in Dallas and Williamson Counties "We are deeply concerned about the reports of voters being turned away from the polls in Dallas and Williamson counties following the GOP's implementation of precinct-specific voting locations for election day. We will continue to evaluate the situation on the ground and are calling for an extension of voting hours to ensure all Texans' voices are heard in this critical election. If voters in Dallas and Williamson counties are looking for their polling location, we encourage them to visit jamestalarico.com/vote or their county's election

He already has.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

By the way, Democrats have now flipped 27 legislative seats in Trump 2.0.

Republicans are still stuck at zero.

Even in 2017-18, the GOP managed to flip a few. This time, just a goose egg, despite several good chances.

You love to see it: Cunningham cast a pivotal pro-ICE vote and the other two voted to override the governor's veto of anti-trans legislation; they got wrecked tonight, they can all go get fucked forever

2026 has a very 2006 "everybody fucking hates republicans but national media/pundits will be reeaaaaaaaaaaallllllly slow to properly understand that because of their priors about the two parties" feel to it

Not to pump up the ego of @cfidd.bsky.social but she is correct.

See these half-assed Dems in North Carolina, who just got the other half of their asses handed to 'em.

With all the appropriate caveats (still months until the election, the future is uncertain), it's starting to feel like this will be an absolutely historic blowout of a midterm, like any Republican in a district Trump won by less than 15 or 20 points is going down

So encouraging. Such a mastermind.
