Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country."

The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

People are going to die because of the pending insurance premium hikes. I know the terrain of discourse is inconsistent and goes through a tumble cycle every 24 hours, but I really think we need to hone in on this reality and drive it home for people.

If you are running, hit me up for a logo. I’ve done like 60 candidate logos and I love giving a good deal to good candidates.

Even/especially if you won’t have the resources for a proper logo until after you launch.
2026 is going to be a great year to run for office. It’s not too late in most places! runforwhat.net

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight.

Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall.

This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

This Georgia flip is in a district that the GOP drew to drown Democratic voters in Athens into a neighboring red county, Oconee.

But tonight, Dems in Athens were out in FULL FORCE to swamp that gerrymander.

Trump is just gonna try to lie his way through it: "You're getting lower prices, bigger paychecks. Inflation -- we're crushing it. And you're getting much higher wages. The only thing that's really going up big is the stock market and your 401ks."

“gold bars and crypt billions for me, pencil rationing for you”
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

According to data, ICE has arrested nearly 75,000 people with no criminal records.

ICE isn’t an agency, they are a private army meant to terrorize people of color by the order of a fragile racist wannabe dictator. They are his Gestapo.

The disconnect between the leadership and the base continues to expand, this time on AI and Silicon Valley influence. I think it’s beyond even the disconnect in the GOP during the Tea Party.

For the tenth week in a row, Pope Leo used his global platform to call out the Trump administration — this time blasting the president’s plan to cut Europe out of Ukraine peace talks. “Unrealistic and dangerous,” Leo declared. As usual, the pope's remarks went unreported in major US media.
Pope Leo Criticizes Trump’s Ukraine Plan Sidelining Europe
After meeting with Zelenskyy, Leo XIV delivered a pointed critique of Trump’s go-it-alone approach — warning that any plan excluding Europe is “unrealistic” and risks shattering the Western alliance.

In case you missed it, JD Vance recently claimed that antisemitism isn’t “exploding” on the right.

Let’s take a look at just a few recent examples the Vice President might have missed.

[Long thread incoming]
JD Vance rejects claims that antisemitism is growing inside the GOP, breaking his silence on the topic
The vice president does not agree with Sen. Ted Cruz about the threat of antisemitic rhetoric among young conservatives and online influencers.

The Trump team knows the economy is going badly. Thats why he’s on the road and why they’ve stopped releasing jobs, GDP, and inflation numbers.

Good luck blaming Biden for an economy of the GOP’s creation with 70% of Americans saying their costs are up.
