Thinking about the six lawmakers who told the military they don’t have to obey unlawful orders.

I'm sorry, this is all so new and confusing to me. Can you recommend a book about the mingling of religion and politics to help me understand?

They have no problem spending a billion dollars a day on war, but fight for every penny when it comes to caring for Veterans.

"For the next phase of my career, I look forward to some independence and finding new spaces to share my work in line with my personal goals."

Another CBS News journalist leaving and talking about independence. Bit of a not-so-subtle hint at what's happening over there.

The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.

But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.

NEW: A judge has restored lawmakers' unfettered access to ICE detention facilities, her third ruling to block Secretary Noem's policy attempting to limit unannounced visits from members of Congress.

A professor challenged the Smithsonian. Security shut the gallery. As President Donald Trump seeks to reshape museums and other cultural institutions, historian James Millward has been β€œguerrilla teaching” visitors about changes that have been made.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social
Millward handed out fliers that contained the original wall text from the presidential gallery...which included mentions of former President Trump's two impeachments, had recently been removed by the museum

JUST IN: Judge Boulee has *canc eled* Friday's hearing regarding the Trump administration's seizure of Fulton County ballots, instead ordering the two sides into mediation until March 18. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Oh sure. Give the DoJ and DNI several more weeks alone with the ballots. Excellent idea.

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

I hope he ended that sentence with β€œbecause that’s all we can do in the minority. We hope to defund ICE when we get the majority and abolish ICE when we get the White House.”

Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.

I can think of several dozen historians who would be happy to lecture @jaketapper.bsky.social about why "concentration camp" is, in fact, an apt term.

Not only did Trump lose the 2016 popular vote by nearly 3 million votes, once he was in office he launched a massive "voter fraud" investigation to prove that he'd *actually* won the popular vote by several million and then they didn't find a thing and quietly disbanded it.

I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before.

Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

"It's OK to Be White" has been a slogan for literal Nazis for some time now, if you want to know where the Republican Party is at the moment

Josh Shapiro is increasingly critical of ICE in Minneapolis. Some point out he still cooperates with the agency.

Gov. Shapiro has ramped up his anti-Trump rhetoric since federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis last month.

Still, immigrant rights groups in Pennsylvania say they want to see Shapiro do more by ending all cooperation with ICE.
