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

The inability to render accountability in a timely manner is what’s killing this democracy. Justice delayed. Justice denied.

The court backlog of malfeasance cases against these so-called agents is quite lengthy.

As of late February 2026, over 1,000 habeas corpus cases (lawsuits challenging detention) have been filed in U.S. District Court in Minnesota since December 1, 2025, due to "Operation Metro Surge".

A judge just said the Trump administration likely ran unconstitutional immigration policies in Minnesota… then let them keep going. That’s the madness: government breaks the law, court spots it, public pays for the privilege.

Is it just me or are people not freaking out nearly as much as they should? The president and his war secretary are openly saying they’re going to destroy Iran completely to bring forth the end times and we’re all supposed to just shrug our shoulders and go on with our lives?

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped a Trump+9 seat in the New Hampshire House, per reporter Kevin Landrigan.

Republicans outspent Dems by a considerable margin.

This is now the 10th special election flip for Ds in Trump's second term, versus zero for the GOP. sos.tn.gov/elections/20...

Tell Your Senators: Oppose Markwayne Mullin for DHS Secretary Contact Congress today!

Kristi Noem was an absolute failure at DHS. A complete disgrace. But Trump’s new pick is somehow worse.

So we need everyone on board as loud as possible telling their Senators to vote no on this disaster of a nominee!

Reminding myself it's no use gaming scenarios thinking about what's to come. It'll be here soon enough. And - just as I said in Dec 2024 - we'll look back on THIS moment as the good times and be upset we didn't spend it more joyfully and productively. So I'm going to ensure I don't have that regret

I'm convinced that Trump cheated in all 3 presidential elections he ran in and he is going to try and do it again. They will TRY to delay the mid-terms but there will be a big backlash and fight against it. They won't succeed.

Facebook and Instagram just bought Moltbook. It’s a social network where people watch bots interact with other bots. In other words, it’s Twitter.

MN fraud response: Gov. Walz announces major plan to centralize, modernize DHS Gov. Walz announced a massive plan Tuesday to overhaul Minnesota's Dept. of Human Services to combat Medicaid fraud. See his plan here.

Minnesota ranks as a top state to live because of the services we provide to make life easier for families.

But we need to strengthen program integrity and meet today’s challenges. I’m proposing a major overhaul to the way we deliver those services.

It’s too early to know how the Georgia 14 special election ends exactly; but any scenario where two Republicans advance to a Top 2 runoff seems ruled out.

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"

That Dem consultants told Gov. Walz to stop calling them β€œweird” still has me miffed.

we keep operating like trump flipped some kind of switch to make the gop more misogynistic and racist but this path has been clear since the 50s. you dont get here without goldwater, reagan, nixon, the bushes and mccain/romney. trump didnt come out of nowhere. the monster was always there.

What Does it Mean that Trump is Promoting a β€˜Prophecy’ About His Rise to Power?

Trump sharing "prophecies" about himself could mean he believes he's on a mission from God, or that he wants to rally supporters as his popularity drops. Either way, it seems like a power play to portray his opponents as enemies of God. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.
