They found $191 billion for fear and force but suddenly there’s “no money” for kids, seniors, and veterans. It’s not about resources. It’s about priorities.

Are you watching the Oscars tonight?
I wanted to share some thoughts about one of my favorite movies (and the important lesson I learned from it): It's A Wonderful Life.

The Trump administration is like that person who thinks they’re the smartest one in the room, but they’re really the loudest, confusing arrogance with intelligence and raw stupidity with strength.
Bet they never saw this likely scenario coming.
A surveillance app that doesn't work and no testimony as to whether agents get bonuses for making their quota, as has been reported

An obscure methodological tweak -- a change in the source of data on the price of legal services -- resulted in meaningfully lower monthly PCE inflation in January. That's prompting questions about why the change was made and why it wasn't disclosed publicly.

Iran’s Foreign Minister on Trump temporarily loosening sanctions against Russia
Let’s get this straight: The SAVE Act’s goal is to prevent eligible people from registering and voting.
If the U.S. president can't guarantee the safety of participants in the World Cup, then the World Cup shouldn't be played in the U.S.
Trump has gutted health care and food assistance while funneling billions into a war machine that he’s empowered to kill civilians abroad with no accountability.
The cruelty never ends.

President Trump and his administration’s views of legality have been guided by the belief that their power is in no way meaningfully constrained by the law—though it would be a mistake to assume that they’ve governed through lawlessness alone.

Today I want to tell you about my favorite sandwich, where to get it, and some other very important information you might not have heard before.
On Saturday, Trump told us the attack on an elementary school in Iran that killed 175 people – mostly children – “was done by Iran.”
Now the U.S. military admits it was a U.S. strike.
If they are lying about something as obvious as this, what else are they lying about?
Another word you might use for it is "looting".
"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime
"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."
Why are the Democrats not holding a ceremony to honor those who gave their lives to defend the Capitol?!!!!

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.
The US taxpayer will pay thrice over for this war.
First for Israel's warfare.
Second for US military.
They'll pay again as the economic consequences hit home.
This is what ecocide looks like.

The pivot to video is a tax on women's time and dignity, I will die on this hill.
I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.
