He started a war with no reason and no plan, sending the world into a crisis solely of his own creation, and now he's angrily bitching that other countries need to clean up his mess.

The Iranian strike on Saudi Arabia’s Prince Sultan Airbase which destroyed a US E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft also damaged another of the $300 million planes, NPR is now reporting. There are no easy replacements for the airborne warning and control system aircraft.

It’s insane watching the bulletins and headlines rolling in about a global energy crisis worse than the 1970s and not a single one mentions it’s all been caused by one crazy man for no reason. When Trump finally goes reputations will have been trashed and they’re irrecoverable.

Since the headline is a bit confusing, the NYT is reporting that on the same day we hit the girl's school in Minab, we also sent a missile full of tungsten steel pellets at a girl's volleyball tournament hundreds of miles away in Lamerd. Twenty one dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/w...

EXCLUSIVE: “I didn’t sleep for days.” Transfer notes obtained by MeidasTouch reveal a lawful asylum seeker—no criminal record—was transported across 4 states in ICE custody facing restraints for hours, overcrowding, no sleep, and alleged medical neglect.

*Iran lets only Pakistan's ships through* TRUMP: "That was a sign of respect to me." *Russia violates the Cuba blockade* TRUMP: "I let them do that. I prefer it." Weakness masquerading as strength. And some of y'all buy it. Meanwhile, people all over suffer. Including here.

Iranian missile attack underway on the US base in Erbil, Iraq.

Multiple American service members were wounded and some aircraft were damaged in a March 27 Iranian attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine. www.airandspaceforces.com/us-forces-sa...

What a beautiful way for a community to physically instantiate a story about itself that will long serve as an inspirational reminder to future generations of “who we are.”

see you there

“Now that he’s blundered into this Middle East conflagration he’s also destroying the US as a world power. Vietnam was an exercise in humiliation for a nation that thought it could simply flex its huge military muscles and win. This is by degrees worse.”

FT - Traders placed oil bets worth ~$580 million just 15 minutes before President Trump's market-moving posted on social media about "productive conversations" with Iran. share.google/gE4NAJvDzlgIkzgUo

My husband was on this flight this evening. His plane crashed. He’s ok. He helped others get off the plane. #AirCanada

I have grave concerns for the plane's pilots, anybody in those front seats as well as the crew of the truck. Jetphotos pic of Air Canada CRJ-900LR C-GNJZ #C06800

Reports of a serious incident at LaGuardia Airport in New York City, after Jazz Airlines Flight 646, a Canadair Regional Jet CRJ-900, collided with a firetruck while taxiing to Gate B48. Original post

How can this go on for another 3 years?

if you build the LEGO container ship in the US is it technically Jones Act compliant?

It hasn't gotten enough attention that Trump, Homan, and Duffy have all confirmed there's a plan in the works to have armed ICE agents at airports *tomorrow.* Words fail to describe how stupid this is. Let's hope more people aren't disappeared or killed.

Israel Settlers are on a murderous rampage in the West Bank. This is happening with American taxpayer support. It's madness. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Nothing screams “we’re just winging it” like having to buy oil from Iran while in the middle of a war with Iran.

After the denial, rejection, pooh-poohing and discrediting phases of war communication, the US is now in the plain vanilla lying stage

An American physician, now practising medicine in Canada has some useful reflections "In Canada, where people don’t fear bankruptcy for seeking care, patients come in and they just talk to you, about doctor things. That’s a profound relief, for them and me" canadahealthwatch.ca/2026/02/15/i...

Crocuses A.J. Casson c.1930

De Niro: It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent—no one, no one voted for new wars. No one voted for higher prices at the pump. No one voted for higher prices in grocery stores, and no one voted for government-masked thugs shooting down our citizens in the streets.

Israel’s IDF chief has told officers "we're not even halfway done" in Iran. (Channel 12) Netanyahu is to hold a press conference shortly.

Wrote about the WBC and Team USA’s stultifying militarism.

A. Holy shit! B. HOLY SHIT!!! C. Where’s the live reaction shot of Marco Rubio, who’s sitting on the couch just off camera to the right?

States observing Iran are unlikely to conclude that restraint or compliance enhances security. The stronger takeaway is the opposite: concealment, speed, and irreversible capability offer greater protection.

Qatar's Ras Laffan industrial site has suffered extensive damage from an Iranian missile attack.

This is so awesome. I have a new favorite clip…

Brent crude rapidly approaching last weekend’s panic-driven highs as the conflict in the Middle East spirals out of control:

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This is what ICE has done to journalist Estefany Rodriguez.

The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals. We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.

Folks getting really, really tired of having to mow their own laws & clean their own pools.

Leqaa Kordia, who spent a year in ICE detention because she protested for Palestine, is free today.

"I am saying that not only is their agenda loathsome," writes @attackerman.bsky.social, "they do not know ball."

Uh. What?

The estimated cost of the war against Iran has already surpassed $21,000,000,000.

A total collapse. The National Institutes of Health went from 756 funding announcements published to 14 in two years. One example of the effects: emerging threats will become harder to address quickly. Response to future health emergencies (like Covid) will be slower and less coordinated.
