Graves: There’s been reporting that some troops have been told that this is about starting Armageddon.

Warner: I don’t know whether that’s coming from the White House or just from specific military commanders.

I am so sick of the BS from the US government.

Environmental groups in the United States and Canada are sounding the alarm about a U.S. government proposal to change a federal regulation introduced in 2008 to protect a critically endangered species of whale. #Canada

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

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.

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."

Pres. Obama at the Jackson service:

"We are living in a time when it can be hard to hope. Each day, we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions."

"If we don't step up, no one else will. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him."

Say it plain: This is a terrible jobs report.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nearly double the expected loss of 50,000. It’s the third payroll decline in the past five months.

πŸ“ŒNote: This is one of the worst monthly payroll drops since Covid.

Trump's War If Trump campaigned as a President of peace, he has governed as the opposite

One of the first things Trump did after he got elected in 2016 was give classified intelligence to Russia

So how much secret information about our forces and war plans have Trump-and now Hegseth-given to the Soviets over the years, either directly or through their bumbling incompetence

Jacobs: The Trump administration doesn’t give a shit about the Iranian people… They are literally deporting people back to Iran who fled the brutal Iranian regime.

He doesn’t care about human rights anywhere β€” not here in the United States, not in Iran, not anywhere else.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.
