This raises an excellent point: What the hell did they spend the $220 million on? Surely not this cheeseball, AI-assisted horse-and-doofus-cowgirl show. Maybe just pure grift?

Here are my top 10 dog mayors!

And this kind of buries the lead, which is that the deleted tweet was a total lie about U.S. Navy ships escorting an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz -- a thing that, um, just didn't happen.

And once again, a Trump move works out really, really well… for Vladimir Putin. What a kawinky-dink.

I agree with what Jameel Jaffer says, except the part about the NYT editors reading these stories again and being ashamed of themselves.

Exactly. This is why I love the Star Wars genre, which is often childish, repetitive, and silly. But the bar scenes! The secondary and tertiary characters! The zippy space battles!

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 entirely foreseeable, yet somehow unforeseen, mess in the Strait of Hormuz helps explain Trump’s 180 degree shift yesterday on how long his Iran War will last. Pathetic, and dangerous, incompetence. www.cnn.com/2026/03/09/b...

@paulthedogman.bsky.social draws the connection between Trump's (spurious) arguments about Iran's election interference and the prospect he will try to leverage the war to drive his voter restrictions agenda here.

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

Hey's that's my little yellow house with the Analilia lawn sign. Go, Analilia! Beat the Republican (who appears to be running anonymously).

In the wake of We Habba Big Problem, utter chaos continues to reign in the U.S. Attorney's Office in New Jersey. They are REALLY putting the clown in Bozo Fascism. No shame, no competence, just lizard-brain undermining of the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

This is correct, Wise Stoner. Rock on.

Trump is signaling that he's going to try to use his fascist war against Iran to justify restrictions on elections in the U.S. I explain in this new piece for Tech Policy Press (spoiler alert: I draw on Tim Snyder and Marc Elias to make the case -- it's scary). www.techpolicy.press/despite-usin...

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

We don’t yet know if Estefany Rodríguez’s detention was in retaliation for her reporting but we certainly wouldn’t be surprised. ICE abductions of noncitizen journalists take the reporters best equipped to cover immigration enforcement off the beat.

Here’s the letter we sent Citizens after closing our account in December. One couple lost, one letter written may not do much. 100 probably would. Are you a Citizens customer? JOIN US.

An honor to have @juliemoreno.bsky.social of American Families United tell us her story and those of the 1.5 million American citizens with undocumented spouses. More info in reply below. #MontclairSundays Week 55.

Gee it’s almost like every time someone gives young Republicans a platform, they start spewing a volcano of virulent racism (not to mention misogyny, homophobia, antisemitism. And yeah, they’re Hitler-curious, of course).

So proud to see @juliemoreno.bsky.social speaking out for American Families United's members and millions of Americans in mixed-status relationships who are impacted by our immigration system.

If Israel wants to fight terrorism, it can start right at home by shutting down illegal West Bank settlements and prosecuting Israeli terrorist murderers. Having real enemies like Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah cannot become a justification for descending into barbarism. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/w...

David Rothkopf: "Not since Adolf Hitler blew his brains out in a bunker beneath the garden of the German Reich Chancellery on April 30, 1945, have the lives of so many people around the world been so buffeted by the psychosis of a single man." davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/living-in-...

The Trump economy in pictures. Make America what now?

Here’s Doug with your daily reminder:

Correctly, @jenpsaki.bsky.social condemns the “deranged flippancy” with which Trump discusses his war on Iran.

A group of 15 servicemembers say their commander told them: “Trump has been annointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran that will cause Armageddon.” That’s just one of dozens of similar complaints. Holy shit. WHERE IS THIS STORY IN THE U. S. PRESS? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

In December, @paulthedogman.bsky.social and I closed our account at Citizens Bank to tell them we won’t do business with a “community” bank that finances ICE prisons. Today, joined with protesters all over the East Coast to send them the same message. #DeICECitizens

Malicious AI agent extensions are already appearing in public marketplaces. The real risk isn’t just malware—it’s missing accountability. If a marketplace doesn’t have minimum standards to protect users, “it is not ready to distribute extensions that operate at scale,” argues Kostakis Bouzouka.

A budget is a moral document.

This is not good. It is the Bozo Fascist economy.

The conservative Kentucky dude is growing into one of the most eloquent, consistent, and principled critics of the Bozo Fascist. Respect.

Check out the perceptive French dude. Oui.

Fair question. Answer: Heartless Bozo Fascist.

Once again putting the clown in Bozo Fascism. It would be funny if it weren't so disgusting.
