Warner: "As an American, I'm embarrassed ... we gotta decide whether we can keep our republic. And if we simply blow this off as another Donald Trump rant, we do that at our own peril"

My takeaway from that speech is that we are headed down the road of Trump trying to outright rig elections. It probably won't work, but he's going for it.

Okay I feel like this is going to come up a lot in the next 24 hours so let's just clear this up: Ayatollah Khameini, the Iranian supreme leader allegedly killed today, is/was *not* the same person as Ayatollah Khomeini, the supreme leader who came to power in the 1979 revolution.

Almost every media outlet this side of Fox has reported @sollenbergerrc.bsky.social's discovery of missing Trump allegation 302s, but most are missing significance. Roger proved they existed by pointing to a discovery inventory Maxwell got. SHE KNOWS what they say. edition.cnn.com/2026/02/24/u...
The Maxwell evidence log notes three additional 302 documents dated in August and October 2019 related to the same victim, as well as three other sets of “interview notes.” None of those appear to be present in the files released by the DOJ, although there are copies of several photos she provided to the FBI as well as records of correspondence with her attorney.

Interesting point from @mattpolprof.bsky.social in this thread: The real reason for Trump/MAGA zero-sum hatred of trade is that they see interdependence as being at odds with predatory dominance, which is the only ideal MAGA understands.

I think people look at how Republicans were able to constantly put sand in the gears as a minority and wonder, rightly so, why Democrats don’t appear to be doing that. People are looking for some resistance, and Dems can’t even stop voting for Trump judicial nominees.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Trump just declared a national emergency over Cuba — and quietly gave himself authority to tariff third countries that sell oil to Havana. Emergency powers. Vague definitions. Trade as punishment. This is bigger than Cuba. Factcheck coming in asap.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.
