Renewable Energy and National Security The wind and the sun don’t need to transit the Strait of Hormuz

Trump's dislike of renewable energy is likely because Big Oil lines his pockets. But I've long thought about renewables in terms of national security AND an environmental win. I'm not the only one. Paul Krugman has more on how trump's policies are dumb & dangerous.

Job title aside, I don’t think she did anything to actually help with homeland security. She was impactful in her role of terrorizing people in the homeland.

Trump to Rubio: "Your next one is gonna be Cuba. He's waiting but he says, 'Let's get this one finished first.' We could do them all at the same time, but bad things happen."

i really don't think Hegseth realized the diplomatic consequences of that strike

I don't think that the SAVE act includes anything about points 4 or 5? I think he's just throwing in some anti-trans stuff into his post for the fun of it?

There is one word that explains how so many men can be in the Epstein files. So why is no one saying it? We talk endlessly about the factors that make rape easier, but never about the factors that cause rape in the first place.

We know the patriarchy has been damaging to women. I believe it's damaging to men as well. I had not thought of it in terms of the Epstein Class - but it's an obvious connection. This article takes a few minutes - but it's very interesting.

There is still the question of the president saying the U.S. had "obilterated" Iran's nuclear program and that any statement otherwise was fake news. So - was the president lying then, or is he lying now that the U.S. had to go in to stop Iran's nuclear capabilities?

Trump helps MAGA influencers flee Middle East war zone on private jet Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz, dogwalker Sarah Daither, former lobbyist Jay Footlik, and others managed to escape on a private plane thanks to the White House.

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

The work of a “very stable genius”.

I am so sad for her and her family, who will struggle to reconcile the "why" of her sacrifice.

Minnesotan among six service members killed in airstrike in Kuwait A Minnesotan is among the six U.S. service members who were killed in an airstrike in Kuwait on Sunday, a day after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran.

The Pentagon on Tuesday said that Army Reserve Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake was among those killed during an “unmanned aircraft system attack” in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait. It remains under investigation. Amor had served in the military for more than 20 years.

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

This seems highly illegal. ALCU?

All before telling the American people the Why and What Next. Oh - and was he supposed to tell Congress or something?

Death toll for US service members in Iran war at 4 as Hegseth refuses to specify timeline • Ohio Capital Journal The U.S. war on Iran will continue unabated on President Trump’s terms, with more troops on the way and more casualties expected, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said Monday, as the military…

The U.S. war on Iran will continue on Trump’s terms, with more troops on the way and more casualties expected, and no timeline or exit strategy, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said Monday, as the military announced the fourth U.S. service member killed. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/03/02/r...

"The contradiction underscores how little regard he has for his duty to tell the truth when committing American armed forces to battle."

"Among his justifications is the elimination of Iran’s nuclear program, which is a worthy goal. But Mr. Trump declared that program “obliterated” by the strike in June, a claim belied by both U.S. intelligence and this new attack."

So they have no plan. Got it.

Opinion | Trump’s Attack on Iran Is Reckless

"In his 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump promised voters that he would end wars, not start them. Over the past year, he has instead ordered military strikes in seven nations. His appetite for military intervention grows with the eating."

Trump targets SCOTUS for stochastic terror He knew what he was doing by bringing up justices' families.

Noteworthy and critical: We can't let trump normalize stochastic terrorism. A term I had never heard until he was elected. I just call it mob boss mentality - because that is how he views himself and how he has conducted himself his entire life. This country deserves better.

Hey, WI voters - here's your guy representing the 6th district:

Spy Agency Blocks Congress From Seeing Gabbard Whistleblower Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s office rejected Democratic efforts to see all the underlying material about a foreign conversation that discussed Jared Kushner.
