In January Merz and Macron disagreed whether European countries should use their own or US weapons to help Ukraine defend itself against Russia. Now that Trump is threatening to halt these deliveries, it is clear that Macron was right. Trump blackmails our trans-Atlantic partners.

All signs continue to point to an exceptional, long-duration, and record-breaking to (in some cases) record-shattering March heatwave initially centered across U.S. Southwest but expanding to much broader region next week. This is effectively a full-on summer heatwave in March.

My resolution to overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision — H.J.Res 122 — has now been co-sponsored by 72 Members of Congress. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c.... I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!

R.E.M. came out with Out of Time on March 12, 1991. Record stores were still common, and their shop windows were plastered with this album. Bible thumpers went crazy over one particular song, but the click between Michael Stipe and Kate Pearson on Shiny Happy People was the real highlight. #MusicSky

This is real life.

New in PN: The worst cabinet in history "Even having one or two cabinet members as disastrous as Noem, Hegseth, Kennedy, or Bondi would be a stain on any administration; putting them all in one govt has created a kind of Bizarro World 1927 Yankees, an all-star team of incompetence and malevolence."
