Schumer reiterates — again — that Senate Democrats will block the SAVE act
Venezuela. Iran. Cuba?
In the wars of incidental liberation (or not), strongmen may fall, but others arise
The US emulates the tactics of the enemy as if it is righteousness
Americans forgotten that the defense of human freedom is our strongest weapon

National Transportation Safety Board member Todd Inman, who was the NTSB's initial on scene spokesman at the deadly midair collision over Washington, D.C., last January, has abruptly departed the agency two years into what is typically a five-year term.
There are going to be Republicans running in many places who will go out of their way this October to point out to voters that they never asked for Trump’s endorsement. Susan Collins will top the list.
"The country has also detained a U.S. citizen, which has not been previously reported..."

But...climate change is a hoax.
Screenshot of an X post by HasanAbi commenting on how to discuss trans issues with median voters. The post quotes Marco Foster, who says the anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to distract from tax discussions and notes that very few trans kids compete in high school sports there. Below is a podcast-style video still of a man speaking into a microphone.
When you hear them target any vulnerable community—immigrants, trans people, refugees—ask first why they're trying to distract and divide us. Don't fall for it.
Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

"Generations" and how many children will die or develop life altering illnesses? www.npr.org/2026/02/28/n...
Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."
“We are in a moment today where it is harder to sue federal officers for violating our constitutional rights than it’s been at any point in American history.”
Everything Trump Touches Dies Goes Global

We used to be a country that could summon outrage and turn it into courage. Now, MAGA watches Trump bomb a girls’ school in Iran and lie about it. Here are some ideas about what we need to do about it. joycevance.substack.com/p/bloody-sun...

How many countries will Trump bomb, how many will he try to destroy, in order to avoid accountability for his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and avoid the reality of his accelerating physical and mental decline?
Unbearable. Wtf are we doing.
"Donald Trump is much closer to sending US troops to invade Iran than people realize."

Good read summed up by one heading: the only imminent threat was Trump.
the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

How many Americans will die for these cosplay Crusaders?
Rothkopf eviscerates the normalcy bias that is stalling a proper reaction to Trump's insanity.
WELKER: Are you receiving any help from Russia?
IRANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER ABBAS ARAGHCHI: We have a strategic partnership with Russia
WELKER: So that's a yes?
ARAGHCHI: It's not a secret and will continue
WELKER: Is Russia helping you locate US forces?
A: I don't have exact military information
Disgraceful from Tapper. The US is not spending a billion dollars a day on troops. It’s spending it on missiles and jet fuel.
Not since Adolf Hitler blew his brains out in a bunker beneath the garden of the German Reich Chancellery on April 30, 1945, have the lives of so many people around the world been so buffeted by the psychosis of a single man. — @djrothkopf.bsky.social
“.. A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records.”

Oh. Oh my.
A good example of why we need answers about strategy: We're destroying refineries and oil production. If the goal is to immiserate the Iranians and cut off their income, fine. (Not great thinking, but understandable.) But if it's regime change...uh, they're gonna need that rebuilt. So why do that?
For years, strategists have warned national leaders against the temptations of "victory disease," the belief that winning battles means they're winning the war. Leaders throughout history have made this mistake, and Trump seems to be making it now.
