Iranian drones have hit Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry says. Two injured. Widening.

this isn't that unusual, considering who won the presidental election in 2024 "His victory puts him in the unusual position of possibly leading the law enforcement agency that is involved in his criminal case" www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/u...

Imagine this headline a year ago. Zelenskyy says the U.S. asked Ukraine for help countering Iranian Shahed drones—because Ukraine has the know-how. He agreed, but only if it doesn’t weaken Ukraine’s defense against Russia. So… is JD Vance going to say thank you?

Bourdain understood how important immigrants are to our country and was trying to tell us that back in 2017.

We are told that there's no money for schools, no money for roads, bridges, transportation, no money for healthcare, no money for FEMA -- But somehow, magically, there's an extra $50 billion dollars more for this reckless war with Iran. youtu.be/XtCIRG5nJ_0?...

The same technological pinpoint accuracy that was used to slaughter children in Gaza now being used to slaughter children in Iran.

Trump, Hegseth, and the entire chain of command are asserting the crudest basis of power and action, that those with power get to cause harm as they see fit, with no obligation to anything other than the reptilian thrill of tasting blood. A master race ideology for abusers, bullies, & murderers.

Drawing of the Day: the US expands its military actions in countries we’ve not declared war against in areas far far away from US borders as the US bombs an Iranian boat off the coast of Sri Lanka. Meanwhile China is increasing investments in military and tech, and the GOP has another sex pest

it's the same logic with bigger stakes but just as unlawful as the executions of sailors in the caribbean because he could, and in ordering "double-tap" second strikes on survivors rather than following the law of the sea to render aid. These are crimes outside of war and warcrimes within it.

Sinking a ship because he knew it was not just away from home waters but unarmed (as an invitee to unarmed international naval exercises the US was scheduled to attend but withdrew) shows a Pentagon following its leader into functionally a school shooter doctrine: kill who you can because you can.

On Iran, press is having an acute problem dealing with Trump's loose relationship with rational thought and David Sanger always has a normalcy bias. With that caveat, note that ¶ describing whose counsel Trump listened to does NOT include Whiskey Pete. Or Tulsi. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/u...

Perhaps unsurprising for Miami, but I still find it notable that the three students quoted with most sexist, bigoted and antisemitic texts are named Bejerano, Gonzalez, and Valdes. As someone said recently, America is such a melting pot that these days even our white supremacists are multicultural.

"I want to change the future—not only foresee and warn.” To do that, he sought to “protest, reveal, risk for others, seek understanding, prevent danger, evaluate risks, avert evil, and teach by word and example.” —Daniel Ellsberg. An essay on Ellsberg's acts of conscience and the Pentagon Papers

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

This plane joins the 70 million dollar luxury 737 you may have heard about — N471US — and the two Gulfstream 650s DHS also recently acquired — N472US and N473US — which you probably haven’t heard about unless you read my story here: gillianbrockell.ghost.io/noems-luxury...

Yup--I just listened to the hearing, and the Judge took the parties by surprise by indicating he'd issue such a judgment. USG counsel asked for some time to brief the merits and the judge responded: "There are no merits." [3]

The order itself requires Customs to "liquidate all entries" without regard to IEEPA duties, but at the hearing the judge said unequivocally that "I want to make it clear to the Customs Service that they have to refund any money that was unlawfully collected." [4]

AOC: If people like Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi violate the law, there are supposed to be consequences. These are people who call themselves law enforcement officers. The message they’re sending is that they can cover up for pedophiles and street executions. That cannot be acceptable.
