Mike Johnson refuses to condemn anti-Muslim comments by Republican lawmakers Andy Ogles said Muslims do not belong in the US and Randy Fine made a comparison of Muslims to dogs

Bigotry and xenophobia are pillars of fascism. Outrage should be a pillar of journalism, but reaction to Ogles and Fine has been muffled in media.

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate. Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

There is no evidence that voters are clamoring for candidates who distance themselves from progressive policies. Nor are there signs that voters are despondent about the party’s prospects of winning a general election that they will accept a nominee with a Republican-lite platform. trib.al/kRVhBoa

Ellsworth residents imagine life without downtown dam as relicensing drags on Removing the dam could open public shoreline access, restore fish passage, and create recreational activities for locals and tourists, local conservationists say.

“It’s such a big part of what we know as an Ellsworth community. What we have known for the last 100 years is going to change." www.bangordailynews.com/2026/03/11/h...

Tyrus, a retired professional wrestler, claimed Trump had a great record of avoiding wars. Earlier in the week a Fox News correspondent pointed out that Trump has used the U.S. military to attack seven countries in three continents.

Trump says random, contradictory things about his war because he is not OK in the head, and these buffoonish NYT reporters think he is playing three-dimensional chess with the stock market. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/b...

Tell Congress: Stop Trump's War with Iran Trump's unauthorized war in Iran has already taken the lives of US servicemembers and at least 1,000 Iranian civilians. It has devolved into a larger regional conflict, with missile and drone strikes,...

We need Democrats to be unified in their opposition but to get that, we constituents have to make it clear that a vote to fund this war isn’t just any vote — it's a vote that will define their political careers for years to come.

Hakeem Jeffries won't commit to blocking additional Iran war funding The House minority leader said Democrats will "cross that bridge when we get to it" but added that President Donald Trump has so far failed to justify his "war of choice."

Trump wants billions more for his war with Iran, and he needs Democratic votes to get it.

While most Dems are openly opposed to giving this lawless regime more money to kill Iranians, some are being cagey and Hakeem Jeffries is currently declining to organize House Democrats against war funding.

How can I check to see whether Grammarly is using me (or "me") for advice without having to take out a paid subscription?

Last week Jessica Tarlov explained the many inconsistencies in the Trump admin's explanations about the war in Iran. Tarlov also mentioned stranded Americans in the Middle East. I've include an excerpt of a segment from PBS that demonstrates exactly what she was talking about.

How Trump’s War on Iran Is Hastening the Coming MAGA Crack-Up Another Middle East war is exactly what the young voters and voters of color who flocked to Trump in 2024 did not sign up for.

You cannot watch Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth preen and strut about our new “overwhelming and unrelenting precision” and vow of “no hesitation” in “crushing the enemy” without seeing this MAGA intoxication at play.

Sen. Cornyn: Why the SAVE Act matters more than the filibuster Senate Republicans should use the authority the voters have entrusted in us to bring the far left’s obstruction to an end.

Tbh, Cornyn's desperate and shameless willingness to bow and scrape for Trump's support makes me want to root for Paxton.

If I can paraphrase Lincoln: Why not prefer a candidate who makes no pretense of loving liberty, without the base alloy of hypocrisy?

After watching this shit show in Iran can we now agree that maybe having academics isn’t a bad thing?

Trump goes to Thomas Massie's district in KY today to campaign against him. Since the key issue on which Massie broke with Trump was Epstein, it raises the question: Will Trump address the Epstein scandal and coverup when he speaks there?

There’s something in the air in South Portland, Maine (and it’s not good) - The Boston Globe Residents of South Portland, Maine, are concerned about high levels of benzene, a carcinogen, measured near petroleum storage tanks in close proximity to their homes.

Democrats Need a Post-Trump Plan. Here’s One That Works. Holding the powerful accountable for their crimes is the only way out of this mess.

Democrats cannot be allowed to repeat their past mistakes. We must bring the architects of our current nightmare to justice—not in the name of the past, but in the name of the future. trib.al/Dq57PTU

It is Bibi’s and Trump’s war. Bibi needs permanent war to keep himself out of prison.

Trump is a the pedophile in chief, doing anything to distract attention from the Epstein files.

A weakened Iran benefits Israël, but I think the biggest weakening will happen to the US.

NEW: CENTCOM reported that US forces destroyed 16 Iranian minelayers near the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian mining efforts are part of a broader effort to disrupt maritime traffic in the Strait & Gulf to impose a cost. (1/5)
