Even without a military background, I know it is not a relief, and not a source of pride, that all 6 crew members onboard the US military refueling plane died in a crash and not from hostile or friendly fire. They're still dead. Because of an unnecessary war. Looking at you, Trump and Hegseth.

I like to think that I keep up on the DOJ's shenanigans under Bondi, but damn it, I missed this one. WTF are they thinking trying to interfere with Bar disciplinary proceedings? Thank you to the ISBA for protecting lawyers & citizens here in Illinois. #lawsky www.isba.org/barnews/2026...

Morning.

A pack of letters written between 1924 and 1928 form the foundation of a delightfully clever play, “Dear Rhoda.”

Why so many people confuse not being able to oppress with being oppressed?

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors. humans have 3. we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive. the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one. #addOcean

I heard the audio. He said it. Lord. What have y'all done.

This is incredibly on point. Spot oil prices grab the news, but it’s the impact we’re about to witness to petrochemical and derivative production that should really scare the shit out of folks. It’s the sort of shock that could ripple through our global industrial economy for many months.

The impact of this isn't going to be limited to the gas pump. bsky.app/profile/hora...

"I don’t know the moment it happened; it must’ve been a slow realization. ‘My bike is my mobility aid’." Great article from @bikehfxlobby.bsky.social published In Active Travel Studies activetravelstudies.org/article/id/1...

You know Trump is throwing a temper tantrum right now, not because Iran picked its own "Supreme Leader", but because Trump's pissed off he didn't come up with that title for himself.

Dang. We've got storms coming our way. Fav song of ours... youtu.be/V6hQ9HSKlIE?...

I get that nothing matters until the NY Times reports it, but some of us more independent outlets had this story a month ago... www.techdirt.com/2026/02/19/d...

The American organisation Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN) has called on Iran to file a declaration granting the International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction over crimes committed on its territory since the war began on 28th February 2026. Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260306-us-...

Today, Michelle and I are proud to announce that we will be hosting the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center on June 18th in Chicago, and welcoming the public on June 19th. We can’t wait for you to visit. Go to obama.org to learn more.

Dogs are great if you have money and want that to no longer be the case.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases. We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war. “We never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.

Oil prices have rallied to a nearly two-year high since the U.S. attacked Iran over the weekend.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

The "five presidents" at Rev. Jesse Jackson's memorial service get another round of applause: "President Harris, President Clinton, President Bill Clinton, First Lady Jill Biden, President Biden, and Chicago's own southside President Barack Obama." This made me giggle. 😁

Trump is going to have to ask Congress for more money to fight his war in Iran. This is the time for Democrats and Republicans who support Ukraine to demand military aid for Ukraine as part of any bigger funding bill.

Herbert Marshall lost a leg in world war one, and went on to become a leading man in Hollywood. He worked to help injured troops after becoming famous, especially amputees. #TheFilmcrowd

Cher, at the height of her popularity, was simultaneously one of the most beautiful, and one of the most nontraditional looking stars. This is a pic of her at her in 1971. To me, though, she was the Absolute Bestest in my favorite movie, Moonstruck. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

No wonder we’re in the shit.

This is not good.

I respect these vets too

So now they're releasing #Epstein Files to distract from the War? Okay.

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

Well would you look at that

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

A win! Glad they didn’t cave. Senate Democrats blocked a spending bill to reopen the Department of Homeland Security for a third time, insisting they would not approve the measure without new limits on immigration enforcement.

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement. The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual. It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

🤣🤣🤣

Buried in the "fog of war" are reports that 47,635 files were removed from the Epstein files that were made public by the Justice Department in accordance with the Transparency Act..

Cricket’s revenge.

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran. And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program? This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

The true size of Iran imposed over the USA. "Boots on the ground" will be no small feat. thetruesize.com
