Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

Ted Lieu: “A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files — the best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as Trump & Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up & release all the Epstein Files as required by law”

While the First Felon dances, and says the war will be short lived, and more Epstein files need to be released, and he says phrases like "it is what it is" it comes down to one question:

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"

I was at first shocked that more people weren’t talking about how the US bombed a school full of girls in Iran, but then I remembered how little they pretend to care when American kids are killed in schools.

The Iranian regime is cruel, but war is a blunt instrument. It kills dissidents and jailers alike. If we care about democracy, we have to ask: will this war help freedom-or bury another generation under rubble and grief?

Whenever I'm lucky enough to find a Northern Saw-whet Owl, they are usually sound asleep. This one was awake and active, looking around, especially straight down - something on the ground had its interest. #birds #birding #HamOnt #owl

I listen to classical music every day. But what a thrill and privilege to attend a concert, or an opera or a ballet. The magnificence of the composers, and the artists who have talents i can only applaud with awe & immense gratitude. They have contributed so much to my life.

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

March is #WomensHistoryMonth.
Before 1974, women needed permission from their spouse to get a credit card or loan.

In 1972, Rep Bella Savitsky Abzug introduced the Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibiting lending institutions from discriminating on the basis of sex or marital status.
