Trump law-lackey/Dep. AG, Todd Blanche, quietly rescinded a Biden-era DOJ policy requiring approval for “no-knock” searches of homes that was implemented after Breonna Taylor's murder.
My take on why this decision will lead to more deaths at the hands of law enforcement.

So - we elect a President based upon promises of America First and no wars, and this President starts a war with a country that poses no direct threat to us, refuses to say why or why now, with no plan to protect the world's oil supply that this country can upheave due to geography?
My brain hurts.
Gen. Grynkewich on Iranian school that was bombed: "When tragedies like this happen, it causes us all to reflect and improve our processes."
(Trump has not yet acknowledged US culpability ... )
Trump justifies high gas prices due to his war in Iran
Sen. Kim: "The people I talk are thinking about their grocery prices, housing prices. They're not thinking about how much money American corporations are going to make off of higher oil prices, because that's just gonna raise all of our prices at home. That's where the president is just so detached"
"This fault lies directly on Trump and Hegseth" -- Sen. Andy Kim points out that the Trump administration gutted the budget for the DoD's "civilian protection center," which could've helped Hegseth and company not bomb an elementary school in Iran
Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."
Trump, who hasn’t arrested a single Epstein client, is holding a “Women’s History Month Event” at the White House today.
WARREN: Has Rubio made any request for transcom to help evacuate Americans out of Middle East?
REED: State made a request on Feb 28 & we have provided some assistance
W: When we called them yesterday, they said they haven't asked you for assistance. Can you explain that?
R: I cannot explain that
Trump said he can “live with it” if a report confirms a U.S. strike killed a school full of children in Iran.
That isn’t strength. It makes America sound like the very thugs we claim to oppose.
Gillibrand: "I have very significant and deep concerns about the American people's security. This war has not made us safer."
I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.
Everyone knows our offensive capabilities are unrivaled. No surprises there.
One thing that worries me is that we’ve failed to learn the lessons from Ukraine.
Warfare has changed, and we’re behind the eight ball. We should have been pouring money into counter-drone technology.
😵💫
Ossoff: "Trump has a problem with every side of his coalition ... they see this guy and his family raking in billions from all over the world while the cost of living crisis in America gets worse. It's infuriating people, and not just Democrats."
Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."
LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ?
TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged
LANDERS: It wasn't though
TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?
LANDERS: Your own AG said it
TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter
LANDERS: Where's the evidence?
Duckworth: "If they're gonna retaliate, this is all on Donald Trump. He decided to do this."
Duckworth: "The Trump administration is hiding behind the valor of our men and women in orders. The problem is who is giving those orders. Donald Trump has not done his job."
Trump endorsed fellow Hitler book owner Brandon Herrera
This is like watching Trump bankrupt a casino in real time. Except this time we are the casino.
When the President decides photojournalists can’t take pictures at Sec’y Hegseth’s Iran briefings, it’s not a small thing. We’re connecting the dots to the larger efforts to erode our 1st Amendment rights, just when we need them the most. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Completely undeterred by facts. Pretty impressive, really.
We’ve known we bombed the school for over a week. The military confirmed it today, and they’re still arguing
NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.
Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)
Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.
They know that the American people do not want a war
Mockler: The neocon boomers surrounding Trump are mortgaging my generation's future for another very expensive Middle Eastern war. We tried this with Iraq. We tried this with Afghanistan. It left us in trillions and trillions of dollars in debt.
This wasn’t written by Trump. Punctuation…big words…
Leavitt ticks through the new anti-trans provisions in the SAVE America Act without explaining why in the heck they're in a "voting bill" in the first place
I just want to extend a hearty F*CK YOU to all the GOP elected officials who know better for choosing to look the other way on Trump's peculiarly suspicious relationship with Russia (more specifically, Putin) - which is now putting our troops in harm's way.
