Vance: " If you're worried about the world spinning out of control, if you're worried about a military draft, if you're worried about, God forbid, a world war, the best way to prevent it is to vote for Donald Trump."
Over at the newsletter I wrote about how establishment Democrats' problem isn't going "too far left" on "identity politics," it's being feckless invertebrates in the face of autocracy and unchecked corporate power.
I see Karoline Leavitt told the FOX Propaganda Network they might bring back the draft. I’ll buy a beer for the first actual journalist who asks her, on-camera, if bone spurs are still an excuse.

Buttigieg leans on combat experience to criticize Trump’s ‘war of choice’ in Iran
Good Morning.
One who needs a check, despite the downsides.
I know some folks who’ll go back with the mindset of trying to do some good in all the mess.

She's not taking any excuses and neither are we. Georgia, the state is on the line. Tuesday, March 10th-no "I forgot," no "my vote doesn't matter," no "I was busy." None of that! Get up and VOTE for Shawn Harris. On March 10th, you can make a difference! #GA14
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
Oh, so he’s changed his tune on Uktaine? It’s not because of NATO expansion?
“showing his claim is a lie”
NYT finds more video evidence confirming its earlier conclusion that the double-tap strike on a girls' school in Minab was carried out by US forces, contradicting Trump’s claim that Iran was responsible.
Will Texas turn blue in November? Well [takes a long drag off of a joint] what does “blue” even *mean*, man?

We will dispatch a handsome prince. We will make sure he brings coffee and pastries.
Yo, didn't see a way to send a DM, so trying this. I wanted to subscribe, but I don't see anything indicating Steady is secure for payments.
Odd how all the demonstrations pretty much ended after Election Day 2024.
Maybe Bernie shoulda thought this all the way through in 2016.
Yeah, and . . . ? This has been apparent for some time, actually.
