Did Ukraine’s strikes on Yandex take out Russian bot farms? Not quite. Snopes reports the plunge in automated traffic was just search engine web crawlers, not propaganda bots. Plus, researchers point out that Russian troll networks usually run on overseas infrastructure.

This woman was assaulted by several men at a Trump rally. Most of them freely admitted it on social media, but she was the only person arrested. She was protesting against pedophilia and illegal sex trafficking. Trump called out, “Go on a diet, fatty!"

Here's some news to share: A new poll conducted by the Associated Press–NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that almost six in ten Americans say they believe Trump is either illegally profiting from the presidency or doing something unethical but not illegal.

Trump calls his new press sec “an attorney” and #KatieZacharia describes herself that way. There is no record that she ever passed a bar exam or has been admitted to practice law in any state. When reporters asked her about where she had passed the bar exam, she answered: “I moved to China.” WTF?

New attacks on James Talarico look like a distraction from Ken Paxton's newest scandal. Paxton spent New Year's Eve 2024 in Dubai with two fugitives and a woman who isn't his wife. Texas voters can see right through it. Vote for Talarico. #JamesTalarico

The Executive Branch, headed by Trump and Vance, continue to use the DOJ to target Rep. Omar and likely other members of Congress. This is unacceptable. Republicans in Congress continue to sit on the sidelines, allowing Trump to act with impunity. #Democrats #BlueSkyDemocrats

The only reason she votes against Trump on anything is because she knows beforehand that her vote won't matter. The people of Maine should be able to see right through her. The fact that the polls are even close is astounding.

It feels like Trump finally stopped pretending he isn't totally on Vladimir Putin's side. Most of us saw this coming years ago when Hillary Clinton called him Putin's puppet on live TV. If he didn't care so much about pleasing Putin, he would go after him way harder than he goes after Zelensky.

Trump spoke up for the Cornell students accused of rape, but he ignored the victim. Is Trump's lawyer (US AG Blanche) secretly helping their defense team right now? Everyone knows how much Trump dislikes NY AG James, and this situation seems very messy.

I'll add that, today in the Oval Office, the same day that Russia bombed an apartment building in Ukraine killing 5, including a child, Trump said he needed to call Vladimir Putin to wish him the happiest of birthdays. Do y'all get it yet?

Trump's promises: lower prices, a $5K DOGE check, and a $2K tariff check. Gas at $2/gallon, but only after midterms. Last night, he promised $5K. The Iran war will be over soon, again. Just more fake money added to the list for his voters. The only thing left to promise is a piece of the Moon.

5/5 Between packing up early and relying on voter suppression tactics, it looks less like a confident campaign strategy and more like a party that knows it can’t win a fair majority.

Michael Stewart @demlostntex.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
4/5 Why? Rather than winning on popular ideas, Republicans appear to be banking on Trump’s playbook to tilt the playing field. From USPS rule changes that could stall mail-in ballots to floating ICE agents near polling places to intimidate voters.

3/5 You’d expect Congress to spend every remaining minute passing bills that actually help people. Instead, Speaker Mike Johnson’s move is to pass a stopgap funding bill, cancel the last two weeks of work, and send lawmakers home early.

2/5 It’s no surprise voters are angry. Tax cuts for the rich paired with cuts to healthcare and food assistance never sit well, and the massive economic boom Republicans promised never showed up.

1/5 House Republicans are in trouble for the upcoming election. Right now, the only major thing they have to show voters is a tax law that helps the ultra-wealthy, a policy deeply unpopular with everyday Americans after it passed in a single, messy package last year.

That is why Democrats should use some ideas from the Democratic Socialists of America, but not all of them and with modifications. After dealing with the chaos of two Trump terms, it is clear that the Democratic Party needs to push for bigger changes, even if party leaders do not want to.
