Senate Dems letter to Trump: “We request Rubio & Hegseth immediately appear under oath - in public hearings - to answer questions the American ppl have about the goals, scope, & end game of this war — explain your actions to the American ppl whose sons & daughters are on the front lines of this war”

Sen. Murphy: “The DOD told us that [Iran’s] nuclear program and getting rid of it is not an objective of this war. Literally, in my other ear, I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this military mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program."

MAGAts Are Pro-life. And pro-Epstein.

Tmrp said the US Navy chose to sink an Iranian frigate, killing more than 100 sailors last week, because it was “more fun” than capturing the vessel, even though THE SHIP POSED NO THREAT.

Neither did the rest of the country.

So she’s “remorseful”… but also a “martyr” framed by Democrats??? Last I checked, martyrs don’t apply for clemency.

The MAGA playbook is exhausting: commit the crime, get caught, claim persecution, & eventually get pardoned. Eff Jared Polis, he isn't a leader; he's a puppet

I really want to know who's advising Polis bc being dragged around by your nose in the most obvious way is not a good look for him. I hope he doesn't expect higher office after getting dogwalked by a 70 y/o woman from jail.

Tina Peters’ attorney says she 'has remorse' after governor says remorse is a requirement for clemency An attorney for the famously defiant election denier suddenly said she has remorse after Colorado’s governor said it was a prerequisite to receive clemency.

Tina Peters' attorney now says she "has remorse" (satisfying Gov Polis' requirement for clemency) while also claiming Peters is a "martyr" and "scapegoat" who is in prison to cover up the crimes of Colorado's top Democrats. www.9news.com/article/news...

An Al-Qaeda-linked armed group summarily executed ten long-haul truck drivers and two teenage apprentices in January in southwestern Mali. The killings are apparent war crimes

Malian authorities should step up efforts to protect civilians and hold those responsible for abuses to account.

Nobody in this Administration can agree on why they started this war or when it will end. The Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, and the President are all saying different things. Servicemembers’ lives are on the line, and they deserve better than this.

Everyone is talking about the upcoming spike in gas prices, but one of the worst side effects of this war is how often that smarmy chatterbox from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham, keeps popping up on our TVs and feeds.

He seems to think he's the Official Spokesperson for This War, Y'all™.

This was about 3/4." hail in Chicago. Thought the accretion rings in this split hailstone were pretty neat.

Had to do some sharpening because I was taking this macro shot quickly while trying to avoid getting pelted.

Let’s not forget the Supreme Court granted DOGE members “unfettered” access to Social Security data last summer. So when some little DOGE pipsqueak walks off with a thumb drive full of it and brags about expecting a pardon, that’s not just a DOGE problem. That’s on them too.

Elizabeth Warren: “For the Trump administration to say over & over, there's no money for healthcare – there's no money for childcare – there's no time to pay attention to how families are paying more – but there's a billion dollars a day to go to the Middle East & drop bombs on Iran”

Polls close in an hour. Today is Georgia's 14th Congressional District special election to fill the seat of former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

We traveled to three polling locations across the district to find out who people are voting for and why.

Apparently Hegseth presumes that the troops are or should be blank slates that a war-mongering leader can write on to serve their whims or agendas. That is fundamentally contrary to the respect for individualism and free thought that America has been based on for 250 years.
