BREAKING: The U.S. and Saudi Arabia launched joint airstrikes on Iran-backed militia targets in Iraq after more than 30 IRGC-directed drone attacks over the past 72 hours, per CENTCOM. The statement from CENTCOM comes just hours after Iranian strikes targeted a U.S. base in Jordan.

Turnout in some counties has utterly collapsed compared to the March first round — one rural county I’m looking at went from 1300 to 200 votes cast.

Somehow, the first of these candidates (Norris) is in the running to win this primary — he’s down 3% with 60% of the state’s reporting, but the best area of the second candidate (Hammer) is in. Absolutely abysmal turnout.

Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.

🚨URGENT—Despite the Supreme Court declaring that it would be illegal to deport people under the Alien Enemies Act without giving them a meaningful chance to seek judicial review, the Trump admin is reportedly about to send a group of Venezuelans detained in Texas to El Salvador in a matter of hours!

BREAKING: The ACLU's Lee Gelernt tells me his group has heard from immigration lawyers that a group of Venezuelan migrants at the Bluebonnet ICE detention facility in Texas have been notified they are at imminent risk of being expelled under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.

This story about the Columbia urban planning student whose visa was revoked is worth reading in its entirety. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/n... Just one thing that stood out is Columbia’s swift action and rapid eviction:
Confused, she emailed Columbia’s office for international students the following day seeking guidance. An official informed her that the revocation would take effect only if she left the country and that she could remain in the United States to pursue her studies for the time being, according to emails reviewed by The Times.next day, Ms. Srinivasan received an email from Columbia saying that homeland security had alerted the university that her visa had been revoked and her legal status in the country had been terminated. Because she had to immediately leave the United States, the email said, her enrollment at Columbia had been withdrawn and she had to vacate student housing.

Trump’s team is already saying they will not spend funds that Congress has authorized and appropriated.  There is no point in Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds. Call your Senator: (202) 224-3121

That also gets to something that’s off what’s off at exasperation some people here show when people elsewhere take to the streets to defend what can seem like smaller social benefits; you keep a culture of solidarity & protest that’ll matter in the biggest moment by using it in smaller ones.

NEW: Florida Republicans yesterday convened in a lightning-speed special session to pass new immigration laws. And this is important: Their bill would give Ron DeSantis more legal cover to summarily remove elected local officials. And take FL's effort to override local democracy to next level.
