Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride

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.

They hate me because I fight. They attack me because I win.

I will do everything I can to protect free and fair elections. I will never back down.

The opposing party is using my tax money to build concentration camps and pay pardoned J6ers to kidnap children and shoot taxpayers in the street and bomb schoolchildren in Iran. Grow up you putz

Prem Thakker: Take us through the Gaza Playbook.

Mehdi Hasan: We said, If Israel was allowed to get away with what it did in Palestine - the precedent will be set, impunity will lead to a repeat - the genocide is not over, but Lebanon is a repeat. Iran is a repeat.

Warfare is now changed forever.

“Affordability is a hoax.”
He said that. Then started a war with Iran and handed us the biggest gas price spike in 43 years.
He wasn’t lying about affordability. He was warning you he didn’t care. #TrumpsGasProblem​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

On C-SPAN's Washington Journal, VoteVets senior advisor Max Rose slammed the Trump administration for its "strategic incompetence," warning that their irresponsible approach has dragged us into an unconstitutional war with Iran, lacking both a plan for the aftermath and a clear way out.

Iran's Foreign Policy Advisor Kamal Kharazi does not sound like a Baghdad Bob to me. He sounds very measured and sober about what he's saying. If anyone sounds like a delusional bloviating propagandist, it's America's pedophile president. 😳👇

If Trump relied on Jared Kushner’s opinion that Iran was weeks away from a nuclear bomb when making his decision to go to war like he claims, that totally makes sense because Kushner is the most reliable source for intel on Iran nuke capabilities.

I’m really not thinking it’s a great idea to make the plumber our DHS Secretary if there’s credible intelligence of an impending attack on our homeland by Iran.

Just sayin’.

There once were some assholes with small dicks
Who were scared folks might mock their small dicks
So they said, to a man
We should blow up Iran
Mostly on account of their small dicks

This press conference gave me chills. And not the good kind.

It’s not the Save America Act, it’s the Stop Americans Voting Act.

QUESTION: What the hell does “no men in women’s sports” have to do with voting?

ANSWER: Absolutely nothing. Republicans are trying to force Dems into bad optics.

MN fraud response: Gov. Walz announces major plan to centralize, modernize DHS Gov. Walz announced a massive plan Tuesday to overhaul Minnesota's Dept. of Human Services to combat Medicaid fraud. See his plan here.

Minnesota ranks as a top state to live because of the services we provide to make life easier for families.

But we need to strengthen program integrity and meet today’s challenges. I’m proposing a major overhaul to the way we deliver those services.

A day reminder to keep demanding the release of the full Epstein Files Daily. Not shocked by this but the DOJ is removing files with 🍊💩 mentioned constantly. Despite the fact that this is not happening as legally required, keep being loud. We’re in this for the long haul

Iranian leaders believe they're jihadists in a holy war.

American leaders think they're Christian crusaders.

They're fighting for control of the world's most important oil route.

What could possibly go wrong?

Apparently, there’s enough money to give a blank check to ICE but not enough money to address flooding in our community.

What Does it Mean that Trump is Promoting a ‘Prophecy’ About His Rise to Power?

Trump sharing "prophecies" about himself could mean he believes he's on a mission from God, or that he wants to rally supporters as his popularity drops. Either way, it seems like a power play to portray his opponents as enemies of God. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

📌I don't believe we meant to hit that girls elementary school in Iran with a tomahawk missile.
I do believe that when we did, Hegseth and Trump decided to lie about it, somehow making this absolute atrocity even worse, and Americans less safe.

As always.

(Guardian) — Iran has spurned two messages from Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, seeking a ceasefire as its leaders sense it is not losing the war and the US president is at the minimum feeling the political pressure.

Top headline is: Deleted Tweet Sends Oil Markets on Another Roller Coaster
Second: The US energy secretary's X account posted about the Navy escorting an oil tanker

Below is the table for Brent crude, showing a downward path from March 9, but spiking up again today.
