If SCOTUS takes the approach that house maps can be drawn however they like by the states then they should support the states when they say leggo my ego with ballots.

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

California just made it a literal felony for federal agents or law enforcement to touch ballots or tamper with voting machines without a warrant. Gov. Newsom just drew a massive line in the sand against regime interference: 👇 https://t.co/uvhlt1fCmj

Can we borrow this King for a little while?

[Jim Sciutto @jimsciutto]

Two very pointed message from King Charles to Congress on two issues Trump has repeatedly diminished - NATO and Ukraine:

“In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, when nato invoked article five for the first time and the united nations security council was united in the face of terror. We answered the call together, as our people have done so for more than a century. Shoulder to shoulder through two world wars, the cold world wars, the cold war, Afghanistan, and moments that have defined our shared security. Today, Mr. Speaker, that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people.”

Worth noting that the Magna Carta is the closest thing G.B. has to a constitution.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Standing ovation for this line from King Charles: The U.S. Supreme court historical society has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 supreme court cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances.

The Artemis II crew named a lunar crater after Commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, Carroll. What a beautiful and touching moment.

I'm not crying, you're crying 🤧

[NASA @NASA]

Good morning, world! 🌎

We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.

ICE arrest son of candidate for Congress—who is also U.S. Army veteran.

He served as a sergeant in Afghanistan during the war—in the Kandahar Province.

Now he is first American to be charged with "conspiracy" to protest ICE.

He locked arms with protesters to block agents from driving away with immigrants believed to be unlawfully detained.

His father, Bajun Ray Mavalwalla, has been inspired by his son to run for Congress—challenging a current Republican incumbent.

Bajun “Baji” Dhunjisha Mavalwalla II is scheduled to go to trial on May 18, 2026—he faces up to 6 years in prison.

The incident occurred in Spokane, Washington. #DemsUnited

Smart! The solar works for the schools even when school isn’t in session!

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

In 3 yrs this #solar installation at an Arkansas high school turned the district’s budget from a $250K deficit to a $1.8 million surplus. They're using the surplus to pay teachers more

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

As Richard Perle put it concisely, dictatorships start wars because they need external enemies to exert internal control over their own people. Putin proves the rule, and it's worth pointing out that this goes for would-be dictators as well.

[Olena Tregub @OTregub]

Now U.S. officials acknowledge how difficult it is to counter Iranian Shahed drones.

This is no longer just Ukraine’s problem. It is a regional – and increasingly global – security challenge.

Back in 2022, NAKO was the first Ukrainian organization to inspect intercepted Shaheds. Our exclusive publication with the Wall Street Journal revealed that most of the electronics inside those drones were produced in the United States. Nobody cared. Back then. https://t.co/i5XdW95IDM

@USA_Polling Looks like a possible run off.

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Barack Obama reached a deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Trump ripped up that deal.

Now we are at war with Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon.

And Biden carried PA I believe in 2020.

[Eric Michael Garcia @EricMGarcia]

I know it's not popular to say it on here, but at what point do people finally admit that a Democratic governor who wins a swing state by double digits is an obvious frontrunner for president?

[Bo Wang @BoWang87]

Professor Judea Pearl — the pioneer who invented causal reasoning in AI — says scaling won't save us.

"Mathematical limitations that are not crossable by scaling up."

The brutal truth: LLMs aren’t learning how the world works. They are learning how we describe the world.

This resonates with most biologists: Drug discovery is hitting the same wall. We have mountains of genomic data, but most AI models just find patterns in published papers — not in the raw biology itself. They're learning what scientists think causes disease, not what actually does.

Pearl's causal revolution? That's how we move from "this gene correlates with cancer" to "this gene causes cancer" — and finally design drugs that work.

Until then, we're building very expensive parrots.

@ejeancarroll Ewwwwww

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @Sec_Noem: Why do your out of control agents keep violating federal law? Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally.

I look forward to seeing you testify under oath at House Judiciary Committee in early March.

Don’t forget to bring your blanket.

[Phil Daley @phildaleyusa]

Anyone who knows how databases are built or has worked for a registrar of voters (as I have) knows this isn’t just a design flaw, it’s an accidentally-on-purposeful attempt to redefine who is a citizen and who isn’t.

Let’s not bypass the Constitution or the cCivil Rights Act!

[Jen Fifield @JenAFifield]

NEW: A federal tool meant to find noncitizens on voter rolls is consistently marking citizens as noncitizens, especially if they were born outside the U.S., causing chaos as election clerks try not to disenfranchise voters, @zachdespart and I found. https://t.co/yew0Lnqgaa

[Phil Daley @phildaleyusa]

Don’t look away. At least the nazi concentration camps had rudimentary toilets. ICE and Donald Trump can’t even be bothered to offer basic anything in their concentration camps. #AbolishICE

[P a u l ◉ @SkylineReport]

BREAKING: A whistleblower says women at an ICE detention center were forced to wear diapers, denied basic sanitation, and packed onto floors “like goats in a cage.”

People lying in urine and feces.
No menstrual supplies.
Boxes filled with used diapers.

He reported it — and was fired.

This happened in Baltimore.

“FBI Election Executive” … what are they executive of?!

[Matt Berg @mattberg33]

🚨SCOOP: Trump’s FBI summoned state election officials from across the country for an unusual briefing on “preparations” for the midterms, according to emails I obtained.

It’s the “strangest thing in the world,” one top state election official told me.

[Phil Daley @phildaleyusa]

@Cmdr_Hadfield @NASA I appreciate that the cold snap will be over in March.

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Støre, Norway PM: I looked Trump in the eyes and said, 100 km from my border is the world’s largest nuclear arsenal. It is not directed against me, but against you. We monitor those submarines and share it with you.

It is plain wrong, to say NATO gives nothing in return. 1/
