President Trump just floated sanctioning Ukraine for fighting back against Russia's aggression. America deserves a leader, not a president who bows to Putin, and every lawmaker should condemn this.

I just launched a new initiative to develop and implement agriculture-focused workforce training programs. As our farmers face historic uncertainty with tariffs, we’re making sure the next generation of Minnesota farmers have the resources they need to feed the world.

Another all-too-troubling step in Turkey's slide into authoritarianism. We must call out and confront this creeping autocracy, wherever it takes place — at home or abroad.

Buttigieg: I’m not even an elected official or running for anything— I’m here. I can’t help but notice a lot of people who are elected officials aren’t. There’s a reason for that. They don’t want to have to explain this stuff

Me on hour 14 of dragging Republican Medicaid cuts for filth and giving them no end in sight

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it. If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why? Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

I am proposing new oversight of PBMs—the middlemen driving up drug prices—to be licensed by the CA Dept. of Managed Health Care, report pricing data, & act in their clients’ best interest. California is not only lowering drug costs, we’re also expanding access to medication abortion through CalRx.

NEW YORK: “Please detail what your red line is, and at what point you’ll actually stand up for the constitution you swore an oath to defend.” An older woman is carried out by law enforcement for asking questions @repmikelawler (R) doesn’t like.

I heard there are going to be nationwide 'No Kings' protests on Trump's birthday, so that's fun. Remember, one 10,000 person march is ineffective. Ten 1,000 person marches spread out all over the city is the way to go.

“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones. Meet the 64-year-old retired social worker who went viral after being forcibly removed from her representative's town hall.

Over 50 planes are stranded at St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport after Moscow airports closed due to drone attacks. Planes are waiting on the tarmac for up to 2 hours, as there aren't enough boarding stairs.

Airports in major Russian cities are experiencing disruptions after ongoing drone attacks. Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Sochi, Nizhny Novgorod, and others are affected, with flights delayed and passengers waiting in long lines.

Thank you. It takes real courage to rebuke your own bosses on air. Well done, 60 Minutes. Well done. Imagine how much better off we'd be if THIS professionalism, transparency, and commitment to journalistic ethics was the norm in the media "industry."

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

Sanders: We look to these law firms who have hundreds of well-paid lawyers to defend the constitution, to defend the rule of law. They were more interested in getting millions of dollars from their lobbying.. They should be ashamed of themselves.

I wrote a novel but I have no idea what to do next? Can anyone out there that sees this help me out with that? I'm pretty sure I need a proof reader to make sure all the grammar is correct. But I'm not sure how to even go about doing that? Or do I need an editor?

The House GOP just passed a draconian budget resolution, but despite GOP misinformation, this is just a blueprint, not a final bill. That means there’s still time to push back against proposed Medicaid cuts and tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Here’s what you need to know. 👇

thinkbigpicture.substack.comThe Budget Blueprint Is No 'Big, Beautiful Bill'At best, it’s a concept of a plan. But then they’ll try to spin it to voters.

State AG’s stepping up

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country." The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business. We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

As Trump looks to fund tax cuts for the wealthy by gutting health care, we’re going to save Minnesotans money by making the insurance industry pay their fair share.

A lot more information on this sign of the times from Cour d'Alene. Even the city police say this was outrageous--and, it seems, quite possibly illegal--but the sheriff, a goonish character himself, isn't backing down.

Kaye Thornbrugh@kayethornbrugh.bsky.social

UPDATE: The Coeur d’Alene Press spoke with the woman who was dragged out of a town hall for heckling legislators, confirmed which security firm worked the event and spoke with Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris and Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White about the events.
