The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

I’m a hell no on funding for Trump’s illegal, disastrous Iran War.

The red "wasted" visual in the White House video game graphic is just beyond vile. This involves real human beings. They know civilians are being killed. They're reveling in it.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

I am a resident of CA, but I just called Senator Welch's Burlington office. I spoke with the nicest young person. I expressed my feeling that the Senator's support for Markwayne Mullin is misguided & that Senator Welch should not vote for confirmation. Main Line: 802-863-2525 Toll Free: 800-642-3193

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

Lindsey Halligan Is Under Investigation by the Florida Bar

BREAKING NYT:

Lindsey Halligan, the ex-U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia who brought criminal cases against Trump's enemies over the objections of career prosecutors, is under investigation by Florida's bar association, according to a letter the organization sent last month.

President Donald Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is telling his advisers to bring ideas to the Oval Office to lower gasoline prices in the wake of the U.S. attack on Iran, according to two energy industry executives familiar with the conversations.
The White House is "looking under every rock for ideas on improving energy prices, especially gasoline prices," said one of the executives, who was granted anonymity to describe internal administration discussions.

I have an idea. Here’s my idea: We should have had this meeting last week before we started bombing Iran. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Yeah, I'm glad he's doing this now, BUT also, he voted to confirm her. Some of the things he's attacking her for (killing the dog, etc.) were known when he cast a "Yea" vote. So hard pass on the notion that he's courageous in a real sense.

A thorn in Trump's side his first term were senators at the end of their careers who couldn't be pressured -- McCain, Corker, even Flake.

I think we're about to see a new wave of those folks, and whatever the motive -- true repentance or shameless ass-covering -- they'll help erode his standing

There you have it. "This is President Trump's War."
