In a stunning shift today, NATO stripped the US of all of its operational-level Joint Force Commands.

For the first time since NATO’s founding, all of these commands will be led by Europeans.

NATO no longer feels the United States can be trusted.

"Both campaigns have made mistakes. This is a primary, that’s normal," Davis said in an essay Monday. "What’s not normal is turning it into a racial cage match that convinces regular voters that Democrats are more interested in policing each other than fixing Texas."

Houston Democracy Project says Houston-region school walkouts to protest ICE are strong examples of leadership. Self-organized, no financial resources & willing to accept measure of risk. Just the program. The next action is when you organize it. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

Took a pork loin, dropped it into a dutch oven, added baby carrots, onion, celery on each side of it, added chicken broth, salt, seasonings, brought to boil, then simmered w/the lid on till the pork loin reached 165 - 170 on the inside.

Primary that choad Henry Cuellar.
The House passes the GOP's revised SAVE America Act, which requires proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote - plus photo ID at the polls. The bill faces a very difficult path forward in the Senate. Rep. Henry Cuellar D-TX was the only 'Yes' vote from Democrats.

I still contend that Hinojosa's team needs to pull homeowner property tax data from Abbott's first term and send out mailers that say "in 2014 your property taxes on this house were 1,500...now they're 4500. Can you afford 4 more years of Greg Abbott?"

Houston, Greg Abbott's supposed to be at Guadalaraja Hacienda today (Katy Freeway/Bunker Hill). There's folks showing up to let him know what we think of his failed leadership. If you got the time...

It is completely believable (and likely) this was someone fucking up.
Now that the El Paso no fly order has lifted, based on 1) reports that it related to operations at Biggs air base, and 2) the no fly zone topping out at 18K feet, I'd hypothesize somebody lost a MANPAD (a shoulder fired surface to air missile) and it was lifted when they found it. But who knows?
The FAA has shut down air traffic in El Paso and parts of southwestern New Mexico FOR 10 DAYS and threatened to "use deadly force" against aircraft that violate the airspace. WTAF? elpasomatters.org/2026/02/11/u...

This is going to turn out to be something extremely stupid.
The FAA on Tuesday halted all flights to and from El Paso Airport in Texas for 10 days for “special security reasons,” isolating a major U.S. metropolitan area from air travel. Follow live updates.
