They survived an Iran war drone attack. Six months later, they’re struggling to get care.

The War Horse reports that soldiers wounded in an attack by Iran have faced months of delayed appointments, referrals and battles to receive treatment.

Once again polls way off base in Michigan. What gives? Reminds me of the 2020 Maine race where the Dem challenger was like 12 points ahead and lost by like 10 points to Collins.

morethanjustparks.com/congressiona... Not surprised that all 4 of Montana’s so called public land defenders got an F rating. Zinke and Daines ”retired.”Downey is up for reelection. The only way to protect what many Montanans say is very important to them is to vote out every Republican.

@moneypowerpolitics.bsky.social it’s been reported in multiple outlets that even if Blanche is not approved as AG he can stay in the acting role through the end of Trump’s presidency. Any talk of his confirmation hearing should include that caveat.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Jim Messina just said on MSNOW Ken Martin is a great guy 😳. No, he is not. After the midterms he needs to be fired. Ben Wikler should have been selected. I hope he is still interested.

This, in a nutshell, is our mentally ill ”leader.”

Grand Moff Tarkin: "I think Palpatine's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Alderaan happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story."

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

MAGA now posits that ANYTHING ANYRepublican EVER did or said is inherently A-Okay and anybody who opposes anything a Republican does is not a patriot and hates America. This is where we are.

Vance: "If you look at the story of how the deep state took down Richard Nixon, it's not all that different from what the same group of people, the same institutions tried to do to Donald Trump."

Senator Shaheen, in an interview on MSNOW just now, is already talking like she will likely approve Clayton as DNI. Despite no real national security experience and him spouting all the election fraud lies. 🙄

I came across this awhile back and have to share. Even more appropriate now than then. youtu.be/H-O7dPkA45c?...

The environmental movement today is ill-equipped to respond to President Trump—and if the movement “ever hopes to regain the power and purpose it once had,” its followers need to find nature again, John W. Reid argues.

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

FRANKLIN, TN conservative David French: “I’ve changed my perception of the lingering severity of race problems. We adopted a child from Ethiopia- maybe naive: didn’t think she’d have a different experience than our older kids. There wasn’t a school she wasn’t called the N word.”

Worth remembering…

🚨 The SAVE Act failed to advance in the Senate! It would have undermined ballot access for millions including Black voters, voters of color, rural voters, women, young people, and people with disabilities. Thank you to our partners and everyone who fought to stop the bill. https://bit.ly/3QtTxAm

Glad to know the US Congress is out on a vacation and is resting from the strong effort they demonstrated.

Beautifully written and courageous of Ashley to write about such a difficult subject.

Trump got 20 minutes on national TV. He spent them lying about Gold Star Families, begging allies, and asking Americans not to hold him accountable in November. That is the speech. Hold the line in 2026. #Veterans #GoldStarFamilies #2026

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

If the stakes weren't so high and the human toll wasn't so awful, it would be genuinely very funny how little of a shit Trump gives about any part of his job that isn't renovations or rigging elections. The most obviously checked out dude in history.

"Previous demonstrations in Missoula have drawn thousands, and the one Saturday, organized by Missoula Resists, Indivisible Missoula and Stand Up Fight Back, was estimated at more than double, possibly triple, the first No Kings rally..." dailymontanan.com/2026/03/28/p...

Protestors back at Montana Capitol, other ‘No King’ rallies double

Issues from No Kings protests across Montana ranged from threat of authoritarianism to war, healthcare and reproductive freedom

dailymontanan.com

So far the tally puts todays protests at the largest in US history. As more and more numbers are verified, I'd say the total will be well over 10,000,000 strong.
