This isn’t a coincidence — it’s a cover-up.

We offered to fund TSA. No conditions. Republicans refused. They want the hostage, to extract more ICE money with. No ICE reforms

Quarreling between ‘spring forward’ and ‘fall back’ keeps us in the worst scenario: back and forth. My fix passed the Senate by UC!

Open questions: missing 37 pages of investigators’ notes, and follow-up about the two “additional interactions” with Trump she mentioned but did not describe. Notable is the pervasive atmosphere of fear and threat. Civil case not public.

Justice Department: witness’s files were initially withheld because they were mistakenly characterized as “duplicates.” Right. The ones with Trump accused of assaulting a child just happened to be the ones.
- SW
White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.” Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

Feb 13 — White House on Noem, in a statement: “The President continues to have full confidence in the Secretary.” Mar 6 — White House on Bondi, in a statement: “The President has full faith in the Attorney General.” Start the clock.

Noem may be out of the job now, but her cozy “command and control center” is still costing you a fortune.

Wow. The corruption and self-dealing is boundless — in the billions.

“The latest line from Trump yesterday was that Tehran was ‘two weeks away’ from developing its own nuclear weapons.” Zero evidence of that.

Republicans just OBJECTED to funding FEMA, TSA and the Coast Guard. They’re holding them hostage to extract more $$$ with no accountability for Trump’s rogue ICE/CBP operations. No doubt now who’s responsible.

Today our top Democrat on Appropriations will offer to fund TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard, agencies Republicans are holding hostage to extract more money for ICE.

Like a mob “bust-out,” Trump’s cronies have run the Kennedy Center into the ground, with closure for “renovations” covering the disaster.

Trump fossil fuel flunkies’ “national security” pretext for polluters is wearing thin. It went 0-for-6 on offshore wind, and letting coking facilities pollute locally for “national security” reasons seems quite the stretch.

The stance of the nine law firms that caved under administration pressure may be hard to explain to clients who may face high-profile litigation against that same administration. “We cave under pressure” is not a great motto. Just sayin.’ www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/o...

Russia is losing in Ukraine, “paying an extraordinary price for minimal gains and … in decline as a major power.” Trump is the one propping up Putin. One must wonder why. www.thecipherbrief.com/russias-war-...

Why are Democrats afraid to talk about climate, when so many people already connect the dots between fossil fuel polluting emissions and their family’s financial costs? Home insurance is a HUGE cost for so many families, and getting worse fast!!

"Trump the Wheedler” resembles the man in Gulliver’s travels who spent “eight years upon a project for extracting sunbeams out of cucumbers.” And note: “the systemic stupidity and toadyism that tyranny breeds.” Meaning Putin or Trump? www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I pray there is a plan beyond “Wagging the Dog” over the Trump/Epstein files saga and a bungled economy. It’s time to follow the Constitution, which gives the War Power to Congress to declare, precisely because of dangers from an unhinged executive starting a “Wag the Dog” war.

My heart is with the men and women in uniform whom Trump has put in harm’s way. I wish our armed forces every battlefield success.

“Stop Work” Trump has now become “Start War” Trump. This President is making all Americans less safe.

Because it threatens fossil fuel’s free-to-pollute business model — the biggest subsidy in world history. Even a crack panics them.

Trump fossil-fuel thuggery in action. Very few U.S.-flagged vessels involved; near zero measurable effect on U.S. economy; yet Trumpsters go berserk.

Trump is mentioned more times in the Epstein files than Voldemort is in the Harry Potter series. In fact, Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files more than Voldemort, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Dumbledore COMBINED.

We are actually behind the public on climate, and we need to shape up, stop sucking, and get into this fight.
- SW
In sum, we have real, winning economic messages about cost and corruption. 65% of Americans already think climate is affecting their costs. That’s public opinion in its natural state, no thanks to us.

The Great Climate Insurance Collapse portends real danger. Do we not want to be warning about that? It could happen soon.

To get really grim, there’s every reason to expect the spiraling insurance crisis to cascade into a mortgage and home values crisis that clobbers the economy like 2008, or worse.

The fraud and corruption are powerful messaging targets, the public hates dark money, and our climate story improves with a villain in it.

Finally, we are where we are because of truly villainous behavior by the fossil fuel industry, through its massive climate denial fraud operation and its associated dark-money political corruption operation.

But 92% of Texans are concerned about the cost of home insurance — a tip-top issue — and 66% already connect the dots to climate change. Let’s communicate on that.
