Welcome to the USA and the concentration camps. bbc.com/news/article...

the idea that vance is anti-war and was a skeptic seems really to come exclusively from vance and is not borne out by anything else in his record as vice president so far

What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠

so far in hungary, Vance has stumped for a kleptocratic dictator, regurgitated putinist propaganda, and is now indulging the gutter racism of his hosts. it really is an unvarnished look at what the ideological character of the trump regime is.

Noted theologian weighs in.

textbook sanewashing

Those are the words of a "potential" war criminal (pushed and encouraged by his "potentially" war criminal president)

In what world is it okay for the Defense Secretary to make multi-million dollar investments in defense companies: a) Ever; b) In the run-up to starting a war in the Middle East FT has the scoop: www.ft.com/content/744e... In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.

He makes a persuasive case.

Yet more sanewashing from the @nytimes.com. Why not just be blunt? The ‘diplomacy’ is unhinged from reality, by whim.

Tree of the Year?! I would watch that reality show www.politico.eu/article/lith...

h/t to @adammockler.com for pointing out this gem from 2016.

Dripping with irony.

This smarmy creature Bessent says that it's fine for Trump to celebrate Robert Mueller's death. An opposing view: fallows.substack.com/p/one-man-a-...

So, we are absolutely not supporting Estée Lauder brands anymore. In addition to pushing for annexation of Greenland, Ron Lauder (major stakeholder, board member, and sole heir to the fortune) is an Epstein buddy. Second pic lists Lauder brands. Hard, hard, hard pass.

An hour apart. Perhaps we should stop treating the mindless weathervane spinning in the breeze as if it has a clear strategic direction we can ascertain.

Exactly. Fluffing these outbursts with purpose and rationality is wrong. This is a powerful idiot roiling the world at whim. MSM, call it out. Enough with the sanewashing.

Watching Mboka-Kalinskya on WTATV. The commentators *will* not stop talking. It’s a relentless torrent of words. Less please. A lot less. #TennisSky

The guy on the left was arrested and convicted for illegally selling missiles to Iran during the Reagan Administration. The guy on the right is a Fox News "military analyst" who thinks Iran shouldn't have missiles Yes, same guy.

"project a sesne of tactical and political meaning" is so on target. It is a disgrace, a glaring example of sanewashing.

Pew’s deep dive into global attitudes to morality and ethics. The screenshots are just the teaser. There’s much much, more. www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/u...

I'm not the first to say it, but paint is not infrastructure.

www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/u... Make no mistake. JD wears this war, too.

Too perfect.

My newsletter tomorrow will explain how Donald Trump is plotting to use his attacks on Iran and Venezuela to justify an unconstitutional power grab over voting in the 2026 midterms. Subscribe to Democracy Docket now to receive. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Guy who said he wouldn’t start a foreign war and attacked former Presidents for starting foreign wars and begged like a small child for a peace prize starts foreign war to distract from his guilt sexually assaulting under-aged girls with Jeffrey Epstein. Who could have seen that coming? Everyone.

What could possibly go wrong when you dismiss the person who tells you what could possibly go wrong?

'Bad things'. Is a toddler making foreign policy?

open.substack.com/pub/heatherc... The sheer scale of the Trump corruption is breathtaking - latest scam, trademarking his name for use on an airport so he gets paid for having his name in lights

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’ 1/

www.theatlantic.com/politics/202.... I especially love the last half of this piece. It evokes the collegial, caring, can-do workplace that was the Washington Post. @ashleyparker

I went to college with Aliya. Here, she speaks to Congress about being assaulted by ICE in Minneapolis, pulled violently out of her car, and taken to detention, where she blacked out. "You have no reason to believe you will make it out alive if you already being called a body."

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests
