Talarico on Trumpworld's "short term pain" talking point: "I'd like them to tell that to the parents of the American troops who have lost their lives. That is not short term pain. That is pain that will last forever ... no one asked for this."
Voting should be as easy as possible. If someone wants to make voting harder, they don't want to prevent fraud. They just don't want you to vote.
That being said, our ability to vote doesn't matter if we don't use it.
Protect your right to vote. Use your right to vote.
I love all of my Northeast/Mid-Atlantic people but in all my years I cannot wrap my head around what tf is going on in Maryland. Love y'all tho 🤨

On a walk around #Conwy yesterday, I spotted something I hadn't noticed before. This magnificent #Gothic railway arch, built in 1840, through the #Medieval walls. It even continues the castellated parapet! Zoom in, and you can see where bits were chipped away as trains got bigger! #photograph #photo
The genius businessman strikes again

R: I cannot explain that
The number of legal abortions in Poland doubled in 2024, while complaints to Polish authorities over conscience clause refusals in the country have apparently ceased. The government had told hospitals they are obliged to provide abortion on the legal grounds of a woman's mental health.
Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly
Lawyer: You don't regret that people might have lost income?
Cavanaugh (DOGE): No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from two trillion dollars to close to zero.
Lawyer: Did you reduce the federal deficit?
Cavanaugh: No, we didn't.
Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."

I hope you are all writing to Mike Lee about his desire to open this whole area up to mining.....
Colorado AG Phil Weiser: We're gonna have a lot of work to repair the Justice Department, to repair the rule of law on the other side of this administration.
Legacy media is failing democracy. Rather than just complain, I did something about. Six years ago I started Democracy Docket from scratch. Now it has more than 400,000 subscribers. But to help protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
Tweet by Adam Kinzinger responding to a post about the U.S. using low-cost interceptors against Iranian drones, suggesting Ukraine provided the technology. The image shows Donald Trump speaking at a podium during a White House event.
My my, how it’s come full circle.
This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
Connect the dots

Another word you might use for it is "looting".
"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

DOGE said it was cutting government waste.
So they gutted USAID — the agency that feeds starving people around the world.
Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano.

Significant tornado threat today across Illinois, especially near I-80, as extreme instability and a lifting warm front create a dangerous setup for strong, long-track tornadoes and destructive hail. Texas also faces a QLCS tornado, hail, and wind threat. Have a safety plan and stay weather aware. 🌪️
Rep. Raskin on Pam Bondi: "She testified a couple of weeks ago in the Judiciary Committee, and we were not at all happy with her testimony there, which was completely evasive and nonresponsive. And if anything, just reinforced our concerns that she's involved in a cover-up."
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."
Also known as "using insider knowledge for war profiteering."
Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off
The service member sustained injuries during an attack on a military base in Saudi Arabia on March 1, the U.S. military said.
The difference between the spike in global oil prices now versus 2022 is that this time the US president single-handedly caused it to happen overnight with a policy while accepting no responsibility, while the US president in 2022 was blamed for it even though he didn’t cause it.
It’s been downhill ever since
