"What can Democrats do?"
When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him.
So, you know, that.
Newly Obtained Video of Minneapolis Shooting Undermines ICE Account Prosecutors did not watch video of the nonfatal shooting until weeks after charging the wounded man, an official said.
Remember that time when ICE shot a man as he fled into his home and then claimed he beat an agent with a snowshovel? And we were all like "you're lying"?
They were lying

I just want to watch my kids eat candy for breakfast…I guess it’s my fault for checking my phone.
Amazing day out at No Kings Chicago!
It was a long winter but No Kings Spring has arrived in Chicago. #NoKings
🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today.
That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

U.S. Advisers Increase to 14,000 in Vietnam
Wall Street Journal March 26, 2026 at 9:14pm ET Pentagon Weighs Sending 10,000 More Ground Troops to the Middle East President Trump earlier said he was pausing strikes on Iran’s energy sector for 10 more days, to April 6, so peace negotiations can take place.
Headlines are mirroring the buildup in Vietnam almost word for word
Center for American Progress: SNAP Cuts Could Lead to 70,000 Avoidable Deaths
Thanks to Trump and Republicans’ Big Bad Betrayal and their $186 BILLION cut to SNAP, more than 70,000 people will die.
Instead of pouring billions of dollars into Trump’s illegal war with Iran, we should be helping our neighbors.
Two ceramic pigs labeled "pigs with no specific duties"
Every picture of ICE agents in airports is just this again
Atlanta Airport… looks like ICE wandering around aimlessly has solved everything… 🇺🇸
Uggggghhhhhhh
Remembering this wording for when it happens.
BREAKING: A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration's restrictions on journalists at the Pentagon are unconstitutional.
The government doesn't get to decide what news the public has access to.
This is so fucking dystopian.
Thank you for everything we’ve built together. This is not the result we hoped for, but this movement is just getting started.
No matter the outcome, Illinois progressives are moving the conversation to the left in a big way. Real grassroots progressives like @katmabu.bsky.social and @nickforillinois.bsky.social ran inspiring campaigns. Can’t wait to see what they do next.
Here we go. The polls just closed, the results are starting to come in - and live election-night coverage is now on @wbez.org 91.5 FM starring Dave McKinney, Patrick Smith, Mary Dixon and Melba Lara.
And just because pledge week ended yesterday, doesn't mean you can't support us at wbez.org/donate
Joe Kent ~ @joekent16jan19 X.com After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.
Director of National Intelligence National Counterterrorism Center President Trump, After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 2024, which you enacted in your first term. Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation. In your first administration, you understood better than any modern President how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasam Solamani and by defeating ISIS. Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again. As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved vife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation of to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for.…
Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, resigns over Iran war.

When you’re famous, they just let you do it.
So they’re claiming the only way to win is by suppressing voters.
Time. Is it linear?
Why does Hegseth still have a job?
I feel bad for Scott Bessent’s kid who he is apparently happy to turn to cannon fodder for this insane administration and their grift war.
Wow. He looks like he’s about to ask Wembley if they know the lyrics to this bridge.
Credit where credit is due. @democrats.senate.gov are holding the line. www.politico.com/live-updates...
Same reason she’s not president right now
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Surely a more efficient way to save money at the VA is to not start new wars that create new veterans.
A high-powered Chicago law firm announced a plan Monday to push for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate and potentially charge the agents who carried out Operation Midway Blitz.

Healthcare.
Affordable housing.
Education.
Livable wages.
These are the things we all need.
If our government can find billions for war, it can invest in the people who actually keep this country running.
