Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever does--Margaret Mead. "No cause was ever lost until someone gave up..." Anonymous MN Democrat SD52-CD2 Slava Ukraini
He allegedly said "he needed help transferring data from a thumb drive “to his personal computer so that he could ‘sanitize’ the data before using it at [the company.] ... [and] that he expected to receive a presidential pardon ... ." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
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."

“According to a Forbes analysis of Trump family income sources, Trump’s net worth has jumped to $7.3 billion since his return to office; this corruption is occurring while everyday Americans are struggling to keep up with costs for basic needs.“
Speaker Johnson could call the House back and vote to fund TSA today.
Let’s be clear: long lines at the airports are a direct result of Republicans insisting ICE be able to defy court orders, kidnap and murder people and face zero consequences.
My running list of the Trump Adminstration’s strategic mistakes is becoming a running pamphlet. You are entering an asymmetric war and the best supplier of drones (who owes you some favors) offers you a deal for drones and you are like, nah, we got this all planned out.
Party members decry 'disturbing' lack of clarity following latest classified briefing on war justification and aims.
MS NOW confirms: Far-right activist Ed Martin is facing an ethics investigation from the D.C. Bar.
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel — the enforcement arm for the local DC Bar — alleges that Martin violated ethics rules in early 2025 by making threats against Georgetown University Law Center.

Leavenworth residents and workers from across KC are rallying outside City Hall to BLOCK 🚫local officials from granting CoreCivic, America’s largest private prison corporation, a permit to set up a new ICE detention center in our backyard!

The WSJ front page. 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.
It's like these fuckers have a competition, Apprentice-like, to see who can be the most inconceivably incompetent.

Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...
Uninsurance rates have risen across Minnesota and among nearly all demographic groups, highlighting persistent disparities, the Health Department said.
Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public.
Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube.

"In a statement after Reuters published its report, the Pentagon estimated the figure to be approximately 140 wounded and said the vast majority of them were minor."
How many of them are TBI's? Those aren't minor. Maybe that explains the one who died of a "medical issue" yesterday.
Reuters could not determine the types of injuries and whether they include traumatic brain injuries, which are common after exposure to blasts.
Shouldn't return to service w/a TBI. Maybe this is why one of them died of what they said was a "medical issue" yesterday.

He said 108 of the wounded service members had already returned to duty. -cont-

Events so far:
Whistleblower @chuckborges.bsky.social claims DOGE kids illegally copied your Social Security data
Tech bros at SSA deny it

Another whistleblower claims DOGE kid took the data to a new job at a private company
Tech bros at SSA deny it

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)
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."
