Tweet by Melanie D’Arrigo pointing out that Republicans control every branch of government while quoting a GOP post blaming Democrats for long TSA lines.
The GOP could end the DHS shutdown immediately by agreeing that ICE should act like any other law enforcement agency.
At this rate Trump might have to release the rest of the Epstein files to distract from gas prices.
Representative Frost was fabulous in this interview.
Front page of the Miami Herald yesterday. As it should be.
NEWS: Democrat Shawn Harris has forced a runoff in the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s deep-red Georgia seat (Trump +37).
With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller’s 34.5%.
Runoff set for April 7. A major warning sign for MAGA.
Put this one in the 2026 time capsule

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
The voting technology company Smartmatic accused federal prosecutors of weaponizing the Justice Department against it to promote President Donald Trump’s 2020 election lies and aid his allies facing massive defamation lawsuits. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
"MS NOW has found that the released files still appear to be incomplete, missing FBI notes and memos reflecting interviews with women alleging abuse by other prominent men."

"The military also bought $6.9 million of lobster tail this September. Again, it was not an isolated incident; it’s been a theme of Hegseth’s spending so far."

Democratic candidate Shawn Harris @shawnforcongress.bsky.social after forcing a runoff in Georgia to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene: "This is exactly where we thought we were going to be."
Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

CNN headline: “Analysis suggests US was responsible for deadly strike on Iranian elementary school”
The New York Times headline: “U.S. Tomahawk Hit Naval Base Beside Iranian School, Video Shows”
Reuters headline: “Exclusive: US investigation points to likely US responsibility in Iran school strike, sources say”
southpaw on Bluesky: “Trump's slanderous accusation that Iran and not his own government committed this horrific atrocity in Minab was obviously going to be untenable, and it's already falling apart in a way that will tarnish America's reputation around the world.”
Trump doesn’t want the American people to know our tax dollars paid for the bombs that obliterated an Iranian elementary school.
One parent could only identify their 11-year-old daughter by her backpack.
Party members decry 'disturbing' lack of clarity following latest classified briefing on war justification and aims.
Trump is letting huge corporations that suck up to him evade antitrust enforcement.
State attorneys general should fight back by filing their own lawsuits to break up Live Nation/Ticketmaster and block Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros.
Enough of Trump's oligarchy.
No, it is NOT a cult. What would make you think that?
The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs — including nearly two million children.
The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war.
Priorities.
LIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!
ICE spent $2.25 million on a fleet of branded trucks under Kristi Noem. Reports say agents prefer unmarked vehicles, so the trucks are largely unused.
The official tied to the purchase is now a congressional candidate in Ohio.

As I wrote about yesterday, the Trump accuser’s details, provided to the FBI, and her general backstory are both checking out. This is even more reason to credit her allegations as true.
What more could Trum卐 possibly do to provoke a nat'l terrorism emergency than...
• Attack Iran, assassinate Khamenai
• Move DHS funding from counterterrorism
• Fire 12 agents and staff from FBI counterintelligence unit monitoring Iran threats
• Continue to provoke demands of unconditional surrender
I can feel the cool water and hear it rushing over rocks…can’t get so caught up in the fight against evil that we forget what we’re fighting for. 🦦❤️
Brent crude now $108 a barrel, up 17% just today.
Trump is a titanic f*ck up.
Screenshot of an X post by journalist John Harwood responding “my god he is sick” to a post by Adam Schwarz quoting Pete Hegseth. The quoted post says Hegseth, when asked about Russia helping Iran target Americans, replied that they are not concerned and that the only people who should worry are Iranians who think they are going to live. Below is a video still from a “60 Minutes” interview showing Hegseth speaking.
We got rid of Kristi. Let's get rid of Pete.
Our bases are being bombed.
Our embassies are under attack.
Thousands of Americans are stranded.
Innocent Iranians are being murdered.
We’re spending $1B a day to wage an illegal war which has resulted in the deaths of 6 US soldiers & injuries to countless others.
And where is Trump?
Golfing.
