Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

UPDATE: Sunny, a U.S. citizen, is on her way home after being shipped across state lines overnight. How the hell did this happen? Press conference tomorrow at Broadview, where we will hear Sunny’s side of the story. More details soon.

It's valid to tell people "I have plans" if your plans are to sit on your couch. That's a type of plans

Can’t issue chapstick but secretly running full surgery suites. Sure.

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

It’s tough competition but I do think Miller is more evil than Trump. Trumpnis ideologically agnostic: He will be just as happy making money with people not suffering as suffering. For Miller, the suffering is the endgame.

They clearly committed a war crime, but we've been watching an active genocide for years at this point, as well as watching the US commit *other* war crimes in the Caribbean in addition to murdering both citizens & immigrants on our own soil & no one with any kind of power is doing jack shit so

Remarkable: With support for the Iran war tanking, Trump is now throwing away the GOP's advantage on three core issues: Economy, immigration, national security. A year ago it looked like he might be popular on all three. He lit it all on fire. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2074...

Where are the interviews with military historians about whether Trump’s military actually has capacity to do even half the things he’s promising?

Don't shun people just because they have different beliefs about blotting out the sun to usher in a new age of eternal darkness. We have to find an answer in the middle.

I think “all the American voter cares about is gas prices” is overly simplistic and broadly incorrect but I sure as shit think they are going to care about them rising this much this fast

- cancel all EOs - fire political appointees - strip clearances - appoint special prosecutor for DHS - hire a zillion IGs - investigate and prosecute crimes - investigate and refer policy violations for disciplinary action - recode ICE and CBP jobs out of 1811 series - revert name changes

Omg

What does that even mean? Why can’t someone ask him what the fuck he’s talking about?

Coward.

Not a language, asshole.

No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

New: Democrats asked a federal court to block Trump's 250-ft arch. Under law, Congress must approve certain monuments in DC. “This is a straightforward issue of who’s in charge,” @SenAngusKing said. They also mocked the "vanity" project. “This is not Pyongyang,” @RepHuffman told me.

they’re just begging for a car chase

between the secretary of the treasury going on cable news to discuss war strategy, and the secretary of state speaking on a roundtable about college sports during a war... i'm starting to wonder how much it actually matters who is secretary of what over there

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors. My report:

What is wrong with him???

He's yelling at the dumbass Fox News guy. Definitely starting to feel the heat. Will it matter? Who knows, but he's not comfy right now and that makes me feel good.

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

Tragedy and farce, at the same time.

Breaking News: The executive director of the National Symphony Orchestra is stepping down, the latest blow to the Kennedy Center as it struggles in the wake of President Trump’s effort to put his imprint on it.

A final note before I quit ranting: yes, I have trans people in my life. I've watched it play out in my own extended family & friend groups. And I get that that matters. But it shouldn't, really. Your empathy & compassion should not be reserved for people you find familiar! All humans are human!

Here is a man with more simple moral integrity & courage that the vast bulk of Dem electeds & pundits.

Not one of these ghouls knows a trans kid, understands anything about the actual circumstances or humanity of trans kids, or gives a shit. To them, trans kids play a purely symbolic role: they are a Weak Other that can be abused as form of collective self-soothing. So fucking gross.

It is repulsive to me -- morally, aesthetically, politically -- on a scale that I genuinely don't know how to describe. It's just so deeply, deeply gross, to be so filled with weakness that you abuse other, weaker people to feel better. What a horrible kind of human, to do that, to *allow* that.

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

Now that they're trying to pretend their war is not a war, they've gone back to calling it the Defense Department.

The greatest orator of our times

The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers. Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes. Wonder why that is?

you cant teach this. either you have it or you don't.

Super shocking. Given that Russia helped our enemies during Vietnam, Korea, and both gulf wars, who could have guessed this would happen. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

The fuck you mean? Put the money in the bag.

The U.S. attack on Iranian frigate IRIS Dena was the 1st time a US submarine has sunk an enemy ship since World War II. The Dena may not have been armed. It was returning from an international exercise in the Indian Ocean. The U.S. Navy knew it because it was taking part in the same exercise.
