"It’s clever without being cloying, occasionally dark and tense without being too scary for the younger crowd. It is good family fun for all ages, in an era desperately needing more such films." Check out "The Sheep Detectives":

Tough guy! "When asked about a 'major cyberattack' from China, Trump shrugged indifferently. 'It is what it is,' he said... "Confronted with evidence that China was assisting Iran in its war with the U.S., Trump called China's actions just 'one of those things'...” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

"The Trump administration has struck what some see as the final blow to PEPFAR, the vaunted US program that has saved the lives of 26 million people living with HIV. The State Dept now says that as of 30 September, CDC support for PEPFAR will end in most countries." www.science.org/content/arti...

#NoKings rally at Newport, Oregon.

Well, JB PRITZKER For Possible President, Then........

I hate it here.

Some airports have suspended wait time data, with one advising passengers to allow four hours or more for security screenings.

In case you missed it, we are suing ICE for their unlawful practice of conducting warrantless arrests without probable cause. www.wosu.org/politics-gov...

You know what to do…

Strange situation where we await a statement from Iran to check whether there's any truth to what US president is saying.

Trump has deployed the same ICE agents who are killing citizens in our streets and terrorizing our communities to our airports. ICE out of our cities—and our airports. Just fund TSA.

Well, ICE has arrived. Excuse me, but how are ICE agents roaming the airports and standing around helping with the long line situation? Watch this…

ALERT: Professional news. Nine days after leaving CBS, I have found a new professional home: Chief Washington Correspondent and Anchor for @meidastouch.com

Hey everyone remember this tweet from a week ago? Tell me again how this is going exactly as planned?

After working with the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal died in the country he spent years of his life helping. The cruelty is endless.

Joe Kent, one of the U.S.’s top counterterrorism officials, announced his resignation on Tuesday, citing his opposition to the Iran war. Here's his resignation letter in full. nyti.ms/41fLY29

Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

My sources say it was former president John Barron

Putting international coalitions together for a war is difficult. It requires great negotiation skills and intense effort. It requires trust, goodwill and mutual understanding of the issues. It requires common goals and objectives. But Trump only knows threats and demands for obedience.

An American electorate watched this buffoon during Covid, send slobs to attack the Capitol, get convicted of 34 felonies surrounding a porn star affair, knew he was Epstein’s best bud and still handed him the keys again.

America first is letting foreign companies come into the US to mine copper?

Trump really thinks he can end a war he started by lying about them surrendering on social media. That’s not how this works

Let’s see these brave ICE slobs go after an Iranian terror cell instead of a grandma in Minnesota.

Senate Republicans face challenges similar to Democrats in 2022, with a focus on changing filibuster rules to pass election legislation.

The Trump administration on Friday approved a $5 billion oil drilling project in ultradeep waters of the Gulf of Mexico over protests from Democrats and environmental activists who said the venture posed significant risks to wildlife and communities.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Ossoff: "When American service members are returning in flag-draped coffins... this White House treats war like a [videogame]. It's a disgrace... it speaks to the moral rot of this administration." It's a shame this is where we are as a country.

The war is a mess and the immigration policy is a disaster but at least the economy is o— www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/03/...

It’s almost like Putin and Netanyahu control our foreign policy.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

The nurses are pissed

@maddow.bsky.social: “There are very few Americans right now who have any idea why the United States did this. If this was about drug trafficking then why did President Trump just pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of sending hundreds of tons of drugs into the US?”

Q: Trump said the U.S. is going to run Venezuela. Does that mean Americans on street corners in Venezuela? U.S. troops on the ground? Hegseth: “It means we set the terms. President Trump sets the terms…it means the oil that was taken from us is returned“

Florida's Catholic bishops appealed to Donald Trump to pause immigration enforcement activities during the Christmas holidays. The WH, in response, said it would be business as usual. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

Chic hits #1 today in 1978 with “Le Freak”, a song originally titled “F**k Off!” — and written after the band was turned away by the bouncers at Studio 54. “We go back to my apartment really pissed off,” said Nile Rodgers, “and Bernard starts singing, ‘Ahhh, f**k off!’ .. and that became the hook.”

It was also no coincidence that it was a Black woman reporter he railed against.

The Trump Admin is trying to use food as a weapon AGAIN—threatening to cut off SNAP if states don’t hand over data. We all know this is a thinly veiled attempt to further harm our communities, and we won’t stand for it. Proud of our state leaders for fighting back!

BREAKING NEWS: Today, we won a lawsuit protecting federal wind energy permitting — a victory for wind energy projects, local economies, and Oregon’s ability to keep advancing clean energy for our communities. #orpol

That's called a Dictatorship.

This is when I knew Xi was going to take this babbling fool to the cleaners, and us in the process. The Golden Age of Dipshittery.

In addition to co-owning TikTok with control over the algorithm!

Of course Trump would give the economy an A+ after he rigged it to enrich him, his family and billionaires... But for the rest of America?   Higher utility bills. Higher grocery bills. Historically high mortgage rates. And skyrocketing health insurance bills.
