Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

NEW: Judges livid over Trump administration defiance are increasingly taking pains to say they still trust and respect rank and file lawyers who appear in their court rooms.

It's the DOJ and ICE leaders who they say are driving the rupture. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

I’m really struggling to imagine Congress without Rep Jasmine Crockett next year. We need more fighters, not fewer.

This morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee. Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person. This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track. With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win. I'm committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect democrats up and down the ballot.

Jasmine is a class act.

WALZ: What a 'stop payment' meant by what the administration did last week is 400,000 children without healthcare

COMER: We believe that's your fault

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?

Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.

She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.

The Cover-up
The Cover-up YouTube video by The Lincoln Project

Trump's DOJ deleted 65,527 pages from the Epstein files, covering up the truth. Info on Epstein’s death, call logs, photos with Lutnick - all gone. And Trump thinks MAGA will stand by and cheer on another needless war.

The DOJ has been taking down Epstein files. Here's what remains. The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released.

The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released, according to a CBS analysis — and the number continues to fluctuate.

Feds asked New Mexico to halt Jeffrey Epstein Zorro Ranch sex trafficking probe, records show Former AG says feds halted New Mexico’s Epstein inquiry without sharing promised evidence as state reopens Zorro Ranch i

New reporting finds that Trump's DOJ took over and quashed a state investigation into Epstein's New Mexico ranch in 2019.

As the walls close in on Trump, he'll do anything — including launch full-scale wars — to distract the public.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

In other words: We're totally down with the war criminal but condemn those who get hung up by things like the law, ethics and morality.

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

For the sake of posterity I thought I'd do a thread on all the epically stupid things Trump has done in recent days.

1) Let them eat ballroom

A statement from Nassau, NY DA Anne Donnelly:

Since first learning of George Santos' actions, I have been at the forefront of bringing him to justice. I am proud of the work my office has done, and the conviction achieved in partnership with the US Attorney's office, While the office cannot comment on ongoing investigations, suffice it to say that I remain focused on prosecuting political corruption whereever it exists regardless of political affiliation.

Via @klasfeldreports.com, George Santos may not be done with the criminal justice system.

To be unaware of one thing you don't wish to talk about is convenient.

To be unaware of *everything* you don't wish to talk about is either lying or incompetence. Or both.

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

If the Trump White House wants to ban all transgender people from owning guns because a handful were responsible for mass shootings, wait until they hear how many shootings straight cis white guys have done.
