Trump suggests letting Iran 'take out' Los Angeles and San Diego at campaign rally
Trump made the remarks during a rambling speech in which he said gas prices would be lower soon, touted his ouster of Venezuela’s dictator, and made attacks on news outlets.

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028, and frankly zero interest in the 2028 fantasy football right now ... these midterms are the whole ballgame ... I don't know that we have a free and fair election in 2028 unless we restore checks and balances in these 2026 midterms."

See, liberals mostly don’t care what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their homes. Republicans care very much about whether consenting adults are doing things they consider icky, but that disapproval gets pretty mild when it comes to non-consent or pedophilia.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

just juxtaposing the idea that caring about trans people’s safety & dignity isn’t “culturally normal” with: • 401,000 people fleeing homes • “if the gender/sex…on the face of your current credential does not match your sex assigned at birth, you are directed to surrender your current credential”
Dear Kansas Credential Holder:
House Substitute for Senate Bill 244, enacted by the Kansas Legislature overriding Governor Kelly's veto, requires Kansas-issued driver's licenses and identification cards to reflect the credential holder's sex at birth and directs the Division of Vehicles to comply with K.S.A. 77-207.
What does this mean for you?
If you have received this notice, our records indicate that, upon publication of this law in the Kansas Register on Thursday, February 26, 2026, your current Kansas credential will no longer be valid.
Additionally, please note that the Legislature did not include a grace period for updating credentials.
This means that once the law is officially enacted, your current credential will be invalid immediately, and you may be subject to additional penalties if you are operating a vehicle without a valid credential.
What do you need to do?
Pursuant to this new law, if the gender/sex indication on the face of your current credential does not match your sex assigned at birth, you are directed to surrender your current credential to the Kansas Division of Vehicles. Upon surrendering the credential, you will be issued a new credential reflecting the gender identification consistent with statutory requirements. If you have any questions regarding procedures for obtaining a legally compliant credential, please contact the Kansas Division of Vehicles or visit your local driver licensing office.
Can you appeal this notice?
Yes. If you believe you have received this notice in error, you may appeal. Appeal rights are available under K.S.A. 8-259. However, please be advised that the filing of an appeal will not preserve the validity of your current credential and associated driving authority. For additional information about visiting a DOV exam station, please review the following link:

We apologize for the inconvenience this causes you.

When you explain it plainly, it’s hard not to see where we are as a country.
An aging, increasingly unpopular leader with autocratic impulses sends masked agents into opposition areas to provoke unrest.

Those agents shoot an unarmed civilian observer after disarming him, obstruct evidence collection, and the government then lies about it publicly.

We must stress: The only violence is coming from CBP/ICE. They are rioting in the face of sustained nonviolent protests by thousands of Americans across the country. They are today’s Alabama State Troopers at the Selma bridge. They are Bull Connor’s police with firehoses in Birmingham.

If this were discovered in a leaked email and published in the New York Times, it might get more attention. But Trump just tweets it out, and most people move on with their day. This is blatant corruption. Blatant weaponization. It is undeniably an impeachable offense.
