Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

Good news: Tennessee has not yet imposed the death penalty for women (*checks notes*) making a decision the U.S. Supreme Court said in 1973 was theirs to make _under the Constitution_.

So: Yay.

(The Supremes more recently sang a different tune, but Tennessee is not yet making that a dirge.)

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

In fairness to the administration, at least RFK Jr.'s mass-homicidal antivax policies and cancellation of medical research grants will lower our future demand for gasoline.

Here's Trump-appointed Special Envoy to the Middle East [sic] Steven Witkoff saying, we can take Russia at their word.

(No, we cannot "take Russia at their word.")

When I look at what our country is doing, and has become, I get super depressed.
That's like regular depressed, but you still have the energy to dress weird and want to fight supervillains.

Today, Lindsey Graham revealed the Israeli information that persuaded Trump to launch this war:

"Iranians were working on a bomb almost as big as the film 'Melania'."

Hey, Maine voters--how do you feel about Susan Collins' party starting an unnecessary war to double the price of oil and home heating costs?

Let her know in November.

I like this cartoon so much we paid the New Yorker the fee it requested to include it in my book.

Weโ€™ve not even had the vote 100 years. Letโ€™s not let thing backslide.

Happy International Womenโ€™s Day, one and all.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and weโ€™re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

US Employers Unexpectedly Cut Jobs, Unemployment Rises February data call labor market stabilization narrative into question

Congrats to everyone who voted for Trump and a Republican Congress "for the economy." This is what you get, a sputtering job creation engine that can't make progress like before and keeps rolling backwards.

Markwayne Mullin, cowering on January 6, trying to look even shorter.

Markwayne Mullin comes from a family where they couldn't even decide on his first name.

I'm sure he'll be a great, decisive head of DHS. (Sarcasm font.) ๐Ÿ™„

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
