JUST IN: Democrats have flipped a Trump+9 seat in the New Hampshire House, per reporter Kevin Landrigan.
Republicans outspent Dems by a considerable margin.
This is now the 10th special election flip for Ds in Trump's second term, versus zero for the GOP. sos.tn.gov/elections/20...
10-0 in special election flips is mercy rule territory
@duckworth.senate.gov: Americans are not safer
Sen. Tammy Duckworth is one of the Senate Democrats demanding public testimony from the Trump administration on the war in Iran. She joins The Weeknight with the latest.
The big problem with the US discussion about Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine is that most republican and mainstream discussants suggest that Trump should pressure Putin, when they should be outraged that Trump so obviously supports Putin.
Deal with reality!
Hogsbreath had to promise to quit drinking to get his job.
Too bad he didn't have to give up his apparent replacement addiction to roids & testosterone.
More people should be talking about this...
Estimated cost of Trump's war: $1 billion PER DAY.
That's enough to pay for
- Medicaid for all 16 million people losing it because of Republican budget cuts
- AND daily food stamps for all 41 million people who rely on them
Imagine if we had a government put people over profit.

New from Bryansk 💥
The pure arrogance of these Billionaire GOP Cabinet members is so thick...
The only thing they have ever struggled and hungered for is Power and money beyond what they could ever spend.
Trump is spending $1 billion a day waging war on Iran. Meanwhile...
Trump's sons are investing in a drone company that could soon receive Pentagon contracts.
And of course Trump's Big Oil donors stand to gain windfall profits as the price of oil skyrockets.
War is a racket.
Granting the intelligence community access to large amounts of law enforcement data on citizens “puts Americans’ freedoms at risk,” Sen. Ron Wyden said of the administration’s plan. “The potential for abuse of that information is staggering.”
Authoritarian State Rising 😲
We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.
Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.
Trump's "New Golden Age" for America.
How's it working out for you?
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Trump's DOJ just gave a slap-on-the-wrist settlement to LiveNation/Ticketmaster.
The deal doesn't break up the ticket monopoly, and comes after its lobbyists boasted about getting the DOJ's antitrust chief fired last month.
Trump's promise to fix a rigged economic system was always baloney.
While we're talking about Live Nation/Ticketmaster's sweetheart antirust settlement, a reminder that it paid ZERO federal income tax last year on $145M in profits— largely due to Trump's tax cuts.
Trump works on behalf of the most powerful corporations.
Not you.
Our hearts are with the family & friends of Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, 26, lost March 8 in an Iranian attack at Prince Sultan AB. Those killed & wounded in Trump's War in Iran aren't just numbers. We remember who they were and all they gave to our nation.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.
While Trump is unleashing a war in the Middle East, do not lose sight of the cruelty being inflicted at home by this regime.

🧊✈️ EXILED TO MEXICO ⛓️🌎
🙁 For those following the story of Yamile Alcantu, the Cuban woman who has been living in Miami since coming on a visa lottery program 25 years ago, this is her flight.
Since Cuba won't take her, she's being transported to Villahermosa, Mexico 🇲🇽

Trump promised lower costs & a robust economy, but his Iran war is causing gas prices to spike while his policies, like the SAVE Act & VA cuts, are bad for our veterans & military families. We're paying the price for his broken promises. #TrumpsGasProblem
Personally, I think this is more about trying to save his job in his newly-drawn district than some sort of moral awakening.
Throughout history, waging war has always been part of the authoritarian playbook.
Donald Trump’s war in Iran is the latest example. Watch.
After slashing SNAP & Medicaid, Trump is using his Iran War to line the pockets of military contractors.
I'm reminded of the words of MLK:
"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."
Max Rose on MS NOW: Unlike the Iraq War's "Great Lie", Trump has spun 10 different lies in two weeks to justify his war with Iran. From ballistic missiles to "carpet bombing" for democracy, it's lie after lie, and even the MAGA base sees it.
Reminder: DHS is still routinely violating people’s constitutional rights.
Democrats must continue to fight to rein them in.

Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones.
We’re barely a week into Trump’s war and already his family has found a way to cash in.
Everything is for sale.
