This is legally nuts. 🌰 ⚖️ #tariff #refunds

It's past 6:00pm Eastern Time.

ICE once again failed to release congressionally-mandated detention statistics on its typical biweekly schedule.

The last update was on February 12, 2026. Four weeks ago.

a) why is the secretary of the treasury saying this shit on the news
b) if true, why are they planning their "biggest campaign" and "most damage" for the friday night news dump?

The Trump admin’s $600 million termination of public health grants will be devastating for California.

@pelosi.house.gov and I visited the SF LGBT Center to learn more about how these politically-motivated cuts threaten our health system, and especially efforts to stop the spread of disease.

what the fuck, did Hegseth accidentally add Bessent to the Signal?

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.

A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

One of my old-school conservative views is that the government has no business being involved in college sports or any sports.

That’s out of fashion.

“The president had a feeling, again, based on fact that Iran was going to strike the US, was going to strike our assets in the region, and he made a determination to launch Operation Epic Fury based on all of those reasons.”

Trump’s foreign policy is just ✨vibes✨

🥴🚩

Warnock on the Senate floor now following Murphy giving the sermon of why this is all wrong @chrismurphyct.bsky.social needs to be speaker.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social is doing a master class in the Senate right now. Lindsay sounded like a lunatic talking about supporting the protesters. What about our protesters?

"it's not that the US once had enough munitions for China, but then used them assisting Ukraine or in operations in Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria, Venezuela, Iran, etc. It's that the US never had enough munitions for China and decided to expend munitions for these other purposes anyway"

Good luck, kids.

Secretary Noem is either completely incompetent or violating our rights with impunity, she should be removed from office.

Republicans are once again trying to do what they do best: cut taxes for the ultra-wealthy.

No plan, and you got rid of the “redundancy” of support personnel who are just there “if” something happens. We don’t need contingency plans for things that never happen. Because peace president.

Q: Was there a plan in place to evacuate Americans before the attack?

MARCO RUBIO: That's the plan we're trying to carry out. The problem is airspace closures.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

🤥 @KristiNoem today: “I didn’t call Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist.”

FLASHBACK: she sure did 👇🏽

The complete idiot Kaitlan is interviewing here is … {checks notes} … a United States Senator

It may but it doesn’t.

Kaine: "Donald Trump abandoned diplomacy and now our service members are dying as a result. Iran has shown it will reach a deal to block its nuclear path. Donald Trump prefers war and he doesn't want to come to Congress to ask for permission."

You won’t let anyone in anyways.

JD VANCE: "There's just no way Trump is gonna about this country to get into a multiyear conflict with no end in sight"

TRUMP HOURS LATER: "Wars can be fought 'forever,' and very successfully"

GRASSLEY: The press is attacking you for changing airport shoe removal policy. Does the $1b investment relate to the issue in the IG report?

KRISTI NOEM: I can't speak to that report because it's classified. There was flawed data included in it.

Who is making the US unsafe for visitors?

"Is it so hard to say you were wrong?" -- under questioning from Durbin, Kristi Noem refuses to retract her statements about Alex Pretti and Renee Good being domestic terrorists, but throws "agents at the scene" under the bus for the fact she said it in the first place

DURBIN: Is DHS required to follow federal court orders?

NOEM: Yes sir, and we do

DURBIN: How do you explain that your agency has repeatedly violated them, as your own administration has admitted?

NOEM: We follow them when they apply


DURBIN: I'm sorry

DURBIN: Do you understand that people protected by DACA have to go through a criminal background check?

NOEM: Yes

D: Why have you deported dozens of DACA holders who complied w/ background check

N: We follow all laws

D: Why did you deport them?

N: I don't know the details of that specific case

See, the thing is we haven’t been—not because past presidents were perfect angels or thrilled with Iran, but because they didn’t want to close the Strait of Hormuz, evacuate American civilians from the whole region, and set the world economy on fire.
