This is textbook narcissistic self-destructive spiral. His whole life he pushes until disaster and then wheedles someone into bailing him out. His dad. His accountant and fixers. Mark Burnett. John Kelly. etc. Not sure who would want to or is able to clean this one up for him.

The Amicus podcast for this week with Dahlia Lithwick interviewing me just dropped this morning and still has that new podcast smell. Grateful to peeps out there are already listening and downloading into their brain.

"Die Golfstaaten haben zur Abwehr iranischer Angriffe vermutlich mehr Patriot-Raketen des Typs PAC-3 eingesetzt, als in einem ganzen Jahr hergestellt werden, und auch mehr als die Ukraine in vier Jahren Krieg gegen Russland erhalten hat."

The ultimate irony is that TPUSA is organized around the idea that a religious minority (Muslims, who comprise 1% of the population) wants to take over the country & tell us how to live, when TPUSA speaks for a religious minority (maybe 30%) that wants to take over the country & tell us how to live.

10/ All of this was totally foreseeable. Frankly, it’s why previous presidents weren’t so stupid to start a war like this. Trump has lost control of the war. His best course now is to cut his losses and end it. That’s the only way to prevent an even bigger disaster.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

FCC to journalists: cover the Iran war the way the president prefers or lose your broadcast license.

New from 404 Media: the removed DOGE deposition videos have already been backed up across the internet. A judge ordered their removal from YouTube on Friday. By Saturday, the videos were available on the Internet Archive and as a torrent file www.404media.co/the-removed-...

WSJ: The likelihood of Iran closing the strait was discussed, Gen Caine predicted it, and Trump decided “Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait — and even if Iran tried, the U.S. military could handle it.” www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

He knew he'd lost the 2020 election when he told his people to come to the Capitol.

Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

*record scratch* *freeze frame* yup, thats me. youre probably wondering how i ended up in this situation. www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

this is just open and abject corruption, but the way U.S. journalism frames it you'd not really understand that there's anything untoward

Rest in power Breonna Taylor. Today, we mourn six years without her, and six years without justice or accountability.

The secretary of defense saying we almost have cnn in our grasp is some dark, dark shit

Certain dudes are still upset with me when I said in 2012 that here in the US, being a straight white male is living on the lowest difficulty setting of life. From here on out I'm just going to refer them to these DOGE staffer depositions, and then tell them to go fuck themselves.

Al Jazeera has a very good tracker of the deaths and injuries in the Iran war. It would be striking, however, if they ran a separate tally for guest workers, bc by far the most frequent victims in the Gulf states are guest workers, often from S Asia. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

With the Berger-Page recount looming, I made a list of all the people who might have a role in the post-election process (from the local board of elections to the N.C. Supreme Court) and also have connections to Berger. It's a long list: www.wunc.org/politics/202... #ncpol #ncga

Journalists HMU for a chance at the embargoed contractor data. I'll even help your research out of spite.

Shot - “I was in love with the frisson of transgression.”...nativism, race science, and gender essentialism drawn from evolutionary psychology. “There was an element of gnosticism to it,” she says, “the sense that you know secret things that other people don’t know.”

When you call misogyny misogyny, you're allying with the victims of it and maybe rendering the misogynists uncomfortable, and you're also telling the truth. Whose comfort matters? Matters more than truth? The Times and a lot of the mainstream has been telling us conservative white men come first.

Republicans are CHOOSING to force TSA to work without pay—but it can end TODAY. I will try again to pass my bill to fund TSA and FEMA without cutting a blank check to ICE and Border Patrol. Republicans are the only thing standing in the way.

The President of the United states live blogging his war intel that may or may not be accurate on his personally owned social media site seems sub optimal on a number of vectors.

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

Idiots.

"400 former national security officials who remain committed to their oaths to “defend the Constitution."" Getting played by obvious slop disinfo. 25k followers. Come on people.

One side initiated the war with decapitation strikes on the other side's leadership and double tapped a girls' school.

Abuser foreign policy shit. Maybe electing a rapist was a mistake. 🤷‍♀️

Darth returning from hibernation.

Trump's assertion here that the Tomahawk is "generic" and that "Iran has some Tomahawks" is absurd and a lie. The only party to this conflict that operates the Tomahawk is the United States. Read our analysis into the Tomahawk strike in Minab here: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice. Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties Also, he is what Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson told everyone Biden was. Their silence now is deafening. And damning.

The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.

The widely used satellite imagery provider, Planet Labs, has announced there will now be a two week delay on imagery related to the current conflict in Iran to commercial customers.

We’re cooking up some cool stuff! deadline.com/2026/03/man-...

"Earlier versions included a pink bicycle and a scene in which he imagined raising a child with his male crush..." Oh, the horror. These people are suck soft little punks.

at a certain point I feel like people are daring, evening begging, god and the universe to visit nightmares upon them and those around them. some dim part of some of them may clock the evil that sustains their comfort, and they transmute that energy into such monstrous and caricaturish displays

How Trump has previously treated Iranian asylum seekers:

The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm

What?

1. People see Siskind's post about a draft being on the table. 2. People internalize that claim. 3. When presented with the actual clip, that priming, plus confirmation bias, leads them to continue believing the claim made in step 1 despite evidence against it. bsky.app/profile/park...

I’m just gonna say we’re getting to his pain point.
