Jen's getting at something bigger here – a feature of Trump's character. He assumes nearly all precedent exists because those who preceded him were idiots. He does not (cannot?) imagine that sometimes things are the way they are for good reason. That personality defect is a national security threat.

Gillibrand: "How they missed this was a girls' school is very concerning to me. If Sec. Hegseth did not cut the funding for this area of review by 90%, if he did not continually try to undermine the rules & procedures our service members & generals take - I think he should resign bc of this failure"

Duh.

Organize and Advocate to Abolish Detention Across the country, people are uniting to protect immigrant family members, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. ICE’s detention centers are everywhere, which makes federal policy a local issue in communities nationwide. Detention Watch Network advances federal advocacy to end immigration detention and supports local member and state-wide campaigns through information sharing, strategy development, public education and communications.

⚠️ ICE/DHS is creating a humanitarian and public health crisis by concentrating people into camps in inhumane conditions

“Non-diverse participants” is the euphemism of the year

This is a significant development. Ed Martin is a dangerous Trump hatchet man.

I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.

You cannot tell voters (accurately) this is a fascist regime that is hell bent on destroying us - let alone rely on it (as Dems are) as your GOTV while also voting yourselves to enable the regime.

New satirical statue depicts Trump and Epstein as doomed lovers from Titanic Latest sculpture titled ‘King of the World’ includes plaques with pointed commentary on pair’s past association

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

The cruelty of this admin knows no bounds

The Fate of the First Amendment The Defense Department announced is barring press photographers from the briefings it holds on the war in Iran.

When the President decides photojournalists can’t take pictures at Sec’y Hegseth’s Iran briefings, it’s not a small thing. We’re connecting the dots to the larger efforts to erode our 1st Amendment rights, just when we need them the most. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

COLLINS: Even the Heritage Foundation said they only found 100 instances of non-citizen voter fraud since 2000. That's out of 1.5 billion ballots.

SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: So, what are you afraid of? What are Democrats afraid of?

Witkoff and Kushner Get an F in Diplomacy Inexperienced and overextended, Trump’s envoys have failed on three fronts.

Any serious examination of the "diplomacy" of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner comes to one very obvious conclusion: they're in it for private profit, which they exploit the name and reputation of the US to achieve. They have no interest in brokering peace. foreignpolicy.com/2026/03/03/w...

Absolutely tragic.

Vaccinating your kids also protects those that can’t be vaccinated.

Health insurers are the reason our healthcare system SUCKS

The money that could have given Americans universal healthcare here at home is being spent instead to murder schoolgirls overseas.

Q: A new report says that a military investigation has found that the US struck the school in Iran. As commander in chief, do you take responsibility?

TRUMP: For what?

Q: A strike on the school in Iran

TRUMP: I don't know about it

Dear Latino & Hispanic voters,

The Republican Party believes that masked federal thugs lawlessly roaming our streets, racially profiling brown & black people, and terrorizing immigrants & citizens is just a “little hiccup.” I thought you should know.

Best,
