Increasing energy dependence on a volatile, globally traded commodity delivers neither energy security nor affordability. Hope that helps. 🫡

3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.

Markets need rules. And when they fail to protect patients, policy should step in. New piece in the Boston Globe with Dr. Irene Papanicolas — part 4 of my Cost Cures series. You can read it for free on my substack: amomentinhealth.substack.com/p/when-marke...

How bad is the impact of Trump’s wars on the carbon budget? @katharinehayhoe.com

I have been worried about this for a long time, it’s just that this Project 2025 wet dream has added more fuel.

Considering that one conservative value is supposed to be “purity,” morbidly wealthy conservative authorities certainly seem hellbent on sullying anything pure these days.

Super shocking. Given that Russia helped our enemies during Vietnam, Korea, and both gulf wars, who could have guessed this would happen. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...

In Trump’s America, flunkies and henchmen are never fired for breaking the law. They’re fired for breaking the illusion. johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/kristi-noe...

The reality is Trump is the one who should be fired for not firing Kristi Noem for the reasons she really should have been fired.

Thou shalt arrest Kristi Noem and put her in a detention center indefinitely so she can “await processing.”

Illegal wars abroad and ICE concentration camps at home are MAGA’s version of scorched earth. They are not merely a “distraction” – they are, for this regime, the real thing: A way for people obsessed with the destructive power they can unleash to assert dominance and feel “manly.”

Tragic news from #Upemba National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo & I can’t find coverage! On 3 March 2026, armed assailants attacked the park headquarters in #Lusinga. 5 staff members were murdered, more staff were kidnapped including the Park Director, Tina Lain. #UpembaNationalPark

What's wild is that Trump is going around deliberately & explicitly trying to bully countries into becoming dependent on US LNG. Who on earth thinks becoming dependent on the US is smart right now?

The war is about trying to make DJT look good. That’s it. So the dead should be ignored. The bloody immorality…

I was talking with someone who cleans Airbnb units in our touristy town. The person does this to supplement Social Security income. The number of Airbnb bookings has been so low, this person hasn’t worked, and is beginning to worry. So much for the great economy.

Ten people were killed

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Minnesota would like a word.

It’s so sick how the US openly celebrates war crimes now

Currently trending on X.

“I am the son of the guy whose secret police force used to terrorize you, please install me or my friends, for democracy” is an amazing pitch from the shah’s son

Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran. Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children. Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition. These are the leaders who want to bring “freedom” to Iran? Does anyone really believe that?

Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything.

You don’t get to decry this travesty if you did your best to convince people that not voting was a responsible option.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now. Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Seems to be the pattern…

Thank you. I wish Republicans had backbones/gonads to do what you are calling for. Frankly, I don’t even trust that all the Democrats would be against this war, given how much of Dem $$$ comes from the military industrial complex & AIPAC.

Not underage girls. CHILDREN.

Then my senator, @murray.senate.gov, needs to get a LOT louder in her calls for such a vote. Hakeem & Chuck are nothing more than tools of the military-industrial complex & AIPAC.

It’s clear why Trump renamed it the “Department of War.”

Trump promised young men good-paying jobs and no new wars they’d get drafted into. Now the job market is destroyed, and he’s striking Iran. He’s broken every major promise he made to the American people.

It won't work Donald

The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to decide when the nation goes to war. President Trump’s strikes on Iran are flatly unconstitutional. There’s been no deliberation, no vote, no clear justification. This is a flagrant abuse of executive power.

Trump bombed Iran. Here are multiple clips of Trump campaigning against endless wars, Middle East conflicts, and boasting that he will stop World War III.

War with Iran. Congress not involved. Plans to use it as an excuse to screw with the upcoming elections. Adjudicated rapist. Likely perp in sex trafficking etc of children. Incompetent Cabinet. What will it take for you to impeach that mfer, @repricklarsen.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social?

🤔 Racism and misogyny work by limiting the choices we, even progressives, allow ourselves. This is exemplified is elections, when we weigh who we’d live to vote for against “electability.” Ouch Source: @Frangeladuo on @StephanieMiller Show today

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines. When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

33 of the people pardoned by Trump for January 6 have committed more crimes including molesting children and killing people while drunk driving.

Today I had a meeting about funding I received for a November 2025 (!) presentation. Part of the agreement requires me to present the talk at a university-wide event in March 2026. I was told today I could either censor/change my talk’s title and receive the funding, or withdraw. I withdrew.

“Never to allow Iran a nuclear weapon…” Yeah, that’s been our policy. Who was it that torpedoed the nuclear deal? Oh, that’s right. The orange shitgibbon did. He has a problem with the Iranian gov’t harming protesters while he orders the exact same thing to happen here…

who did this

Someone needs to calculate how many minutes of this speech were spent offering detailed gory accounts of people bleeding during attacks. Honestly. A huge percentage. He has nothing but lies and gore.

Zero dignity opposition party. You can be there yelling or you can be absent but there is no honor in this nonsense civility show. I swear they'd attend their own executions politely

Much like the Senate confirmation process, the State of the Union has outlived its purpose
