"Imagine a year from now" -- the new administration line, being pushed here by Marco Rubio, is that Iran was developing conventional weapons "as a shield" for nukes. That story is much weaker than claiming Iran was an imminent threat.

Let’s level set. Trump’s justification for war: Iran was just “weeks away” from having a nuclear weapon. That’s propaganda. He’s lying.

This article should have made the basic point that other countries are governed by the rule of law. It’s not about “eagerness” to prosecute and it’s not a puzzle. It’s a marker of a deep US problem. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/w...

Breaking WSJ: The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

"Conway struck [an] urgent tone: 'We are facing a president who does not care about the rule of law …. He has to go. We cannot last three more years of this. It’s either him or us. It’s America or Trump.”

... Real trials of charges against Bondi and Noem and Vance and Trump. With real evidence and witnesses. Make clear to that jury of 100 that the world will forever remember their votes and whether they were faithful to the Constitution they've sworn to uphold.

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate. And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials. As the Constitution requires. Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer? You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators. So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔 (From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total. The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG? MASSIE: I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything but name calling in a hearing. So no, I don't. She was responsible for the document production.

With everything that is going on in the world and the US right now, this is what The New CBS is airing on Sunday.

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."

Amazing article by @gregsargent.bsky.social on how thanks to Dem governors, regular citizens with video recording phones, and even the excesses of ICE and the Trump admin, are changing public perception of immigration, individual freedom, civil rights, and what it means to be American.

Hegseth blew up another boat and killed more people. We have no idea who they were or what they were doing because it’s just “trust me, bro” while we kill people.

The community note is the icing on the cake.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Hey there Pam Bondi if you have nothing to hide why were you tracking what congressmen were searching on the Epstein files? Why uh…. Why…. Why so nervous?
