I hope this is one of the most consequential pieces I will have ever written. Epstein and His Co-Conspirators’ New York Crimes: What NY officials can now do

Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, resigns over Iran war. x.com/joekent16jan...

French news network LCI aired a split-screen of Trump dancing live to YMCA at one of his rallies while Iran struck a US-owned Safesea Vishnu oil tanker in the Persian Gulf on March 12. American networks, here's how you do it.

ok well good news for anyone who isnt a consumer i guess

Oh my God. What an absolute fiasco

Let's look at it another way: If more Americans had been willing to park their parochial concerns about whether their president and his monied friends had raped young girls, he would not have had to crash the economy and contemplate a land war in Asia. We as a nation need to be more broadminded.

Desperate Trump Begs for Help to Escape Iran Fiasco talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

Now that he has nearly destroyed the Kennedy Center, doing damage to other DC institutions along the way - the National Symphony, the Washington Opera - Ric Grenell is leaving, perhaps to ruin something else www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/a...

All this week I've written about how here in IL, dark money and MAGA aligned PACs are spending absurd sums of money to prop up establishment corporate Dems while attacking progressive Dems who are actually willing to fight. MSNOW has the scoop on just how deep this goes: www.ms.now/news/kat-abu...

If the government really is worried about Iranian sleeper cells, then it was probably a mistake to systematically reorient the majority of US counterterror resources toward arresting immigrant grandmothers and five-year-olds in bunny hats

Again, I promise I’ll stop banging on about this when these 25 Republicans start getting 1/20 of the attention & anger directed their way that Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries get directed at them every single day.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men." Just saying it right out loud now. newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

Veterans Who Depend on Mental Health Care Keep Losing Their Therapists Under Trump talkingpointsmemo.com/news/veteran...

Our special operation with the Gorn is going better than anyone could have imagined, and I anticipate the war ending in about 4-6 weeks #StarTrek #Sisko197

The war with the Gorn is not just for ourselves but a service we're providing for the entire Alpha Quadrant. #StarTrek #Sisko197

The number one cause of death for pregnant women is murder. And there has been zero curiosity about why perhaps that is, other than more and more legislation to take away women's rights.

I know this is a crazy idea, but do any of the commentators who got snookered by anonymous Republicans into sticking with "Trump is strong on immigration, the public actually loves deportations" for far too long feel like it's time to ask themselves why they got so easily taken?

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

I'm sorry, did he call the last 14 months of ICE abuses and murders a “little hiccup”?

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson. Respect recognizes respect.

Introducing Angie Farella - RFK Jr.'s Latest Addition to ACIP: she wanted to use kids as buffers for COVID because she thought oher coronaviruses made them immune, she wanted to treat COVID with flu antivirals, and more. vaxopedia.org/2026/03/04/i... via @aboutpediatrics.bsky.social

Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop? Full breakdown: youtube.com/watch?v=lTSCC_9-FpY

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

The Roberts Court's position is that if you deserved justice or due process you would be rich bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

y’all don’t need me to tell you this but this is plainly unconstitutional under any remotely rational reading of the constitution

Also if this is Buffalo PD remember that this is the same force that pushed a 75-yo peaceful protester to the ground during thr BLM protests www.cnn.com/2022/04/11/u...

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

really remarkable how trump seems to relish sharing this lurid stories about the terrible pain people have experienced, and he does it exclusively to score some partisan points

“The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds.” www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

I sure hope everybody's ready for grandma to move in with them because all the caregivers are immigrants and they're being sent away. The good news is that the massive baby boom generation is all senior citizen age now.... oh, wait.

Two fun details: 1. In many PA counties, and I believe Berks is one, the initial bail decision is made JUST by the police (who are a party here) and a magistrate judge. That can hold for up to 2 weeks. 2. I just learned that magistrate judges need no legal education and get four weeks of training.

It's not surprising that right-wing commentators have tried to shift the conversation about Friday's #SCOTUS ruling in the tariffs case to the alleged inconsistency/hypocrisy of the *Democratic* appointees. But those charges are based on a decidedly superficial relationship with the relevant facts:

Still flooded with adrenaline after having just accomplished the greatest athletic feat of your lives, something you surely worked tirelessly for and should be extremely proud of, I can imagine it was impossibly easy to get caught up in the moment... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/hey-team-u...

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

Mike Huckabee is going to Hell when he dies. Tell him it was God said so. I want him to know it was me.

The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:

Here's the documentary that 1.1 million Hungarians have watched over the past week, documenting the damage that Viktor Orban's regime has done to health, education and public transportation in Hungary with English subtitles: youtu.be/9NQEcLIiOpM?...

Then he will invoke something else, which will also be total nonsense, and he will get away with it for as long as it takes things to work through the Court system again. The legal system is not designed to stop rampant authoritarianism like this on the timetable of presidencies & elections 4/

He got away with flagrantly violating the spirit & word of the IEEPA law for over a year, because of the Wizards In Robes. Now he is invoking Section 122. He will get away with it for 150 days, even though everyone knows it is total nonsense 3/

This is a great piece explaining the latest tariff developments. But again, this is simply not true: "Without IEEPA, the President can no longer wake up in the morning & decide to raise tariffs on Indonesian goods before lunch." Yes, he can, until Congress stops him, via impeachment & removal 1/
