Republicans are meek little mice.

The anti trans messaging from Republicans has been disgusting-but Democrats have never produced a solid response

Until this from Talarico

NIH director launches "Scientific Freedom" lectures with non-scientist First speaker minimizes climate change, COVID risks—and is a lab leak proponent.

If you’re wondering why I’m ranting today about what scientific freedom is and is not, here is why.

Jay Bhattacharya is a fool who cannot stand that he was—and continues to be—called out by legitimate scientists for his bullshit.

The same people who thought Biden should have personally managed every operational detail of the Afghanistan withdrawal think it’s unreasonable to expect Trump would consider the Strait of Hormuz and the strategic oil reserve before blowing up the Middle East.

Fun @runforsomething.net fact: We have already endorsed 200 candidates in 2026.

49% are women, 56% are people of color, 31% are LGBTQIA+, 20% are gen Z, and 38% told us they're renters.

People should be able to trust that elected officials are working in the public interest, not trying to line their own pockets.

That's why I wrote a bill to ban elected officials from using prediction markets--and why I've fought for years to ban Congressional stock trading.

I rarely do this, but here goes.

Dems should have VERY clear messaging on supplemental tied to the ouster of Whiskey Pete, Jared, and Witkoff. They've all ABSOLUTELY bolloxed the situation and if Trump wants $$, he needs to get rid of all of them.

A democracy cannot survive when billionaires are allowed to utterly deform its politics.

9 days in, the most basic question about the Iran war remains unanswered In just over a week, Trump and top administration officials have given at least 17 different responses about why the war began

WE STILL DON'T HAVE A CLEAR ANSWER ON THE MOST BASIC QUESTION ABOUT THE IRAN WAR

WHY did the U.S. go to war?

A Popular Information review of public statements over the last 9 days found 17 DIFFERENT EXPLAINATIONS. Many of which contradict each other.

Trump administration subpoenaing Arizona 2020 voting records, as Trump pushes to consolidate election power The administration has also obtained records from Fulton County, Georgia, as Trump continues to focus on the 2020 election he lost.

This is the election coup in plain sight.

Meanwhile, Spain's massive investment in renewables is paying dividends now: with prices for Spanish industry and consumers low and stable compared with other European economies.

"Hi. My name is [your name]. I am calling on Gov. Ivey to grant mercy to Sonny Burton who is set to be executed on March 12, 2026. Not only does the State of Alabama admit that he was not the killer and received a grossly disproportionate sentence compared to the actual killer, but Sonny's health is deteriorating rapidly. Crippling Rheumatoid Arthritis leaves him reliant on a wheelchair and a high fall risk.
He even wears a helmet to protect his head during falls. Killing Sonny will not serve the people of Alabama. Please commute his sentence."

Measles is 'worse than expected' in Utah, officials say Measles patients in Utah are developing severe complications, health officials say, including potentially life-threatening anemia and liver inflammation.

For RFK Jr and his “measles isn’t serious” disciples:

“A number of them clearly said if they had known, they would have vaccinated themselves and their children against measles, but they didn’t realize how bad it was”.

SCOOP: A prosecutor who helped build the Georgia election interference case against Trump is running to unseat the appeals court judge whose ruling helped bring the case to an end.

Will Wooten will challenge Trent Brown, who wrote the opinion disqualifying Fani Willis.

Note also that the words he has chosen are intentionally meant to evoke a comparison between vaccination and sexual assault. This is not a new strategy for the anti-vaccine movement, either.

GOP Rep Massie: "Some told us this war was about nuclear weapons. But 6 months ago, we were assured our last strike on Iran decimated their nuclear program...I think the most candid answer came from the secretary of state, who told the press that Israel forced our hand and dragged us into this war

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

I agree, quite apart from the merits of the case. Alito could only defend the Supreme Court's authority to intervene by grievously misrepresenting the facts. The reality is that there's no plausible argument SCOTUS had the power to do what it did. Why didn't that matter to six justices?

Objection: What Happened in Dallas County Was Not a Glitch What happened in Dallas County tonight should scare the hell out of you.

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*.

In March. Imagine November.

I broke it down here:

It is a sign that the administration has a rock solid and very legitimate justification for attacking Iran that the justification changes on a daily basis.

NOT JUST THIS:

Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers.

This could be a major night in NC.
