'Ridiculous': Kristi Noem's 28-year-old aide wasted millions on unusable ICE vehicles A former deputy to outgoing Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem saddled the department with millions of dollars in wasted funding for vehicles that cannot be used.U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcem...

A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.

WATCH — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Every dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease By watching Alzheimer’s-related protein clumping unfold second by second, researchers have uncovered new clues about the role of metal ions.

This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

Trump says he won’t sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed, which requires voters to show proof of citizenship with expensive documents like passports.

Reminder: noncitizen voting is already illegal and incredibly rare. This is about voter suppression, plain and simple.

NEW: DOJ sued Washington State for access to the state's unreacted voter data. However, it failed to file proof that it served the complaint. So now the federal judge has asked DOJ to show cause as to why this case should not be dismissed. www.democracydocket.com/cases/washin...

DOJ’s Ed Martin accused of ethics violations for threatening Georgetown University Ultimately, he could be sanctioned or disbarred.

A legal oversight organization has accused Ed Martin, President Donald Trump’s pardon attorney, of ethics violations for sending threatening letters to Georgetown University’s law school last year while serving as the acting U.S. attorney in the district. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump won't say if he'll send armed agents to the polls. So Dems are suing to find out “Trump wants to bully and cheat his way through a midterm election that he knows Republicans will lose, but we won’t let him,” DNC Chairman Ken Martin said.

🚨BREAKING: Democrats filed a lawsuit Tuesday demanding President Donald Trump’s administration unveil their plans, if any, for deploying federal officers or troops on election day. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump told us who he was in 2012. Will we finally believe him today? Trump has always been an election denier. He has always vilified voting. He has always started with lies, escalated to the courts, and ultimately embraced violent rhetoric.

One of the most important things I have written in a while. I hope you read, learn and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

The fact that Donald Trump is going to try to subvert the 2026 elections doesn't mean he will be successful. We have shown before that we can fight back in court and win. The key is that we must educate everyone about what is going to happen and what they can do as well to defend democracy.

How We’re All Now Paying the Price for the Myth of Trump’s Competence The administration’s war with Iran is setting a mountain of taxpayer dollars on fire every day—mostly because he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

The man is, whatever his other faults, just way in over his head. Maybe Democrats should say that more often. The fact that he’s costing taxpayers a billion dollars a day on a war most of them didn’t want may be a good place to start. trib.al/oQGYMWP

How fitting.

TORONTO/WASHINGTON, March 10 (Reuters) - Shots were fired at the U.S. consulate in Toronto early on Tuesday but no one was injured, police said, in what Canada's public safety
minister described as an unacceptable incident.

Look at these charts. TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help. The timing coincides with the Trump administration’s dismantling of the CFPB. www.propublica.org/article/cred... @joeljacobs.bsky.social

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

Turns out adhering to corporate principles has its benefits:

“.. a surge of public goodwill ..

“.. no. 1 in downloads ..

“.. Even pop star Katy Perry posted a screenshot of her subscribing to a paid Claude plan with a heart around the page.”

So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.

These soldiers have lost their lives because of the Epstein files.

Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?

Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to.

“Netanyahu-inspired action”: Right-wing media are split over whether Israel dragged the US into war with Iran As the Trump administration seemingly contradicts itself over Israel’s involvement in bringing the U.S. into war with Iran, right-wing media figures are at odds over its messaging, further exposing lo...

The White House has offered mixed messaging on if the US was pulled into war with Iran because of Israel. Media reactions further exposed the long-standing conservative divisions on the subject.

Job growth over 14 months of Trump’s second term: 150,000 jobs
The previous 14 months: 1.74 million jobs

Under Biden: 0 months of job losses
Trump’s second term: losses in two of the last three months, three of the last five months, and five of the last nine months.

As oil prices soar, remember: It was four days ago when Trump said he helped “stabilize” gas prices, touting the “decisive action” his administration took “to help keep down the oil prices.”

Yeah, about that...
