"Comically unqualified, intensely partisan, & unflaggingly devoted to whatever ridiculous thing bubbled out of Trumpβs mouth 5 minutes ago, as the next DHS secretary, Mullin will fit right in what will undoubtedly be regarded as the worst presidential cabinet in history." β @paulwaldman.bsky.social
UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE.
In their remarks, neither Pete Hegseth nor Dan Caine this morning addressed the girls school that was bombed.
They did not get A SINGLE QUESTION about it from people they called on in the room loaded with right-wing hacks.
I don't know how many Muslims are in this guy's district. I know there are tens of thousands in mine. They are parents. Entrepreneurs. Police officers. The firefighter-paramedic giving CPR to save your life. They are us. They are American. This tweet is NOT American. Rep. Andy Ogles a @RepOgles Muslims don't belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie.
Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein?
Increasing evidence points to the murder of Jeffrey Epstein. Who is involved in the cover-up, and why isn't the Trump Administration releasing more evidence and being transparent with the public?

Post from the Maine Wonk asking whether JD Vance or Donald Trump thanked Ukraine after a tweet noting the U.S. is deploying Ukrainian drone interceptors to fight Iranian drones in the Middle East despite previously cutting off Ukraineβs weapons.
Who has the cards now?
Tweet by Senator Patty Murray criticizing Trumpβs Iran war, saying the narrative has shifted from βthis isnβt a warβ to fighting until unconditional surrender while Americans die and prices rise, arguing Congress must stop it.
Vote in the midterms like your childrenβs and grandchildrenβs lives depend on it. Because they do.
The DHS shutdown ends the minute Republicans agree to reasonable ICE reforms that the majority of Americans agree with. But they refuse any changes because masked, poorly-trained paramilitary agents terrorizing communities is what they want.
π©Έπ©Έπ©Έ I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 π©Έπ©Έπ©Έ
THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE β¬οΈβ¬οΈβ¬οΈ
Donβt worry, America. The House Republican majority is working hard for you at Trumpβs golf resort in Miami this week.
I know what you mean and very cool photo!
Collage of Moon shots showing the progress of a Lunar Eclipse
Probably not gonna stay up for the Moon tonight so I'll post this instead, since I had to make a few minor changes. I'll tell you what though, staying up almost all night when you're 64, ain't the same as doing it at 24! #LunarEclipse #Totality #MoonPhotos #MoonShots #Photography #SantaBarbara
FOX NEWS IS TOO EMBARRASSED TO PLAY THIS FOOTAGE.
TAKE OFF THAT HAT AND SHOW SOME DAMN RESPECT.
NYT: The video βshows a Tomahawk cruise missile striking a naval base beside the school in the town of Minab on Feb. 28. The U.S. military is the only force involved in the conflict that uses Tomahawk missiles.β

The Podium of Fragile Masculinity
Markwayne Mullin has strong opinions, a strong jawline, and a strong relationship with the Podium of Fragile Masculinity.

About time, βPeaceful demonstrationβ my ass.
Literally everything Trump promised was a lie, but those of us who knew better and warned everyone have to pay the same price as all the idiots that believed him.
NEW: If you missed the live show earlier today, an FBI 302 released days before Epstein's death reveals Trump and Epstein discussed blackmail. Plus, multiple 302s are still missing. You can watch it here for free. No paywalls: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-epstei...
This is a bs βapologyβ from Fox. They claim it was βinadvertentβ - a lie. They aired old footage because they didnβt want to show Trump wearing his campaign hat during the ceremony. Then in this statement they STILL donβt show the correct footage of Trump. bsky.app/profile/aaro...

Republicans spend an incredible amount of time and energy finding new ways to obstruct justice and accountability. www.news5cleveland.com/news/politic...
Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, "Thank you President Trump." | have said, "You're welcome!" Iran is no longer the "Bully of the Middle East," they are, instead, "THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST," and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran's bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Status check: heβs still nuts
Former President Barack Obama on Rev. Jesse Jackson:
"He was talking about everyone who was left out, everyone who was forgotten, everyone who was unseen, everyone who was unheard, and in that sense, he was expressing the very essence of what our democracy should be."
Preach!
Super shocking. Given that Russia helped our enemies during Vietnam, Korea, and both gulf wars, who could have guessed this would happen. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...
Gonna be a great time for all involved
In a phone interview with Israelβs Channel 12, Trump demanded President Herzog to give Netanyahu a pardon βtoday,β saying he doesnβt want Netanyahu distracted by anything other than the war with Iran.
He called Herzog βa disgraceβ, who βpromised me 5 timesβ, adding: βTell him Iβm exposing him.β
