Dems just scored an upset win in a New Hampshire special election:
Democrat Bobbi Boudman won the special election for Carroll County District 7, defeating Republican Dale Fincher 51-47% in a district that voted Republican by more than 13 points just 16 months ago.
Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.
They know that the American people do not want a war
There's a new Trump-Epstein statue on the National Mall.
It's an enormous statue, spray-painted gold, of Trump embracing Epstein in a reenactment of that famous scene from "Titanic."

Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones.
We’re barely a week into Trump’s war and already his family has found a way to cash in.
Everything is for sale.
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) speaks to reporters after attending a closed door briefing with Senate Armed Service Committee at the U.S. Capitol Building on March 10, 2026 in Washington, DC. The committee held the briefing to hear from officials on "Operation Epic Fury" and the ongoing U.S.-Israel conflict against Iran. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images)
Elizabeth Warren: “For the Trump administration to say over & over, there's no money for healthcare – there's no money for childcare – there's no time to pay attention to how families are paying more – but there's a billion dollars a day to go to the Middle East & drop bombs on Iran”
New Quinnipiac poll shows Trump continuing to crater:
37-57 overall approval
39-58 on economy
38-57 on handling of Iran
The kicker: 55% say Iran did NOT pose an imminent threat to the US, while only 39% say it did
He's really settling in at that 38% number on many fronts, isn't he
I love how everything in the news sounds like something you would read about a mad king in history or fiction.
I can't compete with this.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
Shares of the world’s largest asset manager are now down 10% on the year.

Remarkable: With support for the Iran war tanking, Trump is now throwing away the GOP's advantage on three core issues: Economy, immigration, national security.
A year ago it looked like he might be popular on all three. He lit it all on fire. 1/

And also that!
Last 14 months of Biden's term:
+1.74m jobs
First 14 months of Trump's term:
150,000 jobs
(total! for the whole 14 months!)

Jobs report uniformly weak: 92K jobs lost (with job losses in almost every industry), household survey employment down too, unemployment rate up to 4.4%, participation down, avg weekly hours flat.
Main sign in the other direction was strong wage growth.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
The grift that keeps on grifting.
All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.
EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s Orwellian Board of Peace Consists Entirely of Human Rights Abusers
An Intercept analysis finds that every single Board of Peace member state has been rebuked for human rights violations.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.
These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.

So y’all been asking GPT questions?
New YouGov poll finds that for the first time, a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump *strongly.* His overall approval is down to 38%, a new second-term low.
When is the last time a majority has disapproved strongly of a president?
It took barely more than a year for this administration to set the world on fire and destabilize everything that was stable.
The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:
Rep. Ryan Zinke is retiring, citing upcoming surgeries. His seat was already on Democrats’ 2026 target list.
Thirty-two GOP departures so far. 👀

Immigrants are successfully challenging the Trump administration's mass detention policy and winning release from ICE custody—thanks to a centuries-old legal principle and constitutional right. My latest for @motherjones.com:
DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:
Voters as “Votors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"
And, it included a non-party in the caption.
These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.
