A Newly Discovered Recording Lets You Hear Delta Blues Legend Robert Johnson in Stunning Clarity

brilliant -- Morning Joe put together clips of Pete Hegseth reciting a fake Bible quote from Pulp Fiction, along with the Samuel L. Jackson scene from the movie

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty: "Are we concerned as to whether there would be federal blowback? Not a concern of ours. Our role is to hold people accountable if they violate the laws of Minnesota. We feel strongly that this ICE agent committed 2nd degree assault."

Chuck Schumer's two votes tonight in favor of bombs and bulldozers to Israel is yet another reason Senate Democrats must vote to remove him as leader post the midterms.

From @privateeyenews.bsky.social, of course.

Wouldn't it be cool to invest trillions of dollars into a technology that would actually make society better? Maybe we can call it “HI” — Human Intelligence. Instead of “data centers”, we could fund “schools”. Instead of *stealing* art, literature, and science, we help people *create* it. Crazy!

My succinct Strait of Hormuz synopsis:

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥 Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.

Asking a cop the same questions they ask us 🤣

One thing that hasn‘t seemed to sink in, or been adequately accounted for, is that the U.S. occupied two countries on either side of Iran—one for two decades—and they‘ve been able to watch how we work, up close, during that time.

We have questions, Karoline….

How can anyone spin this Iran situation as anything but a colossal embarrassment

yep! she's gay

People need to realize the 25th Amendment is HARDER than impeachment and removal. MUCH. Impeachment/removal: majority House and 2/3 Senate. 25th Amendment: VP, majority Cabinet, then 2/3 each House and Senate. I mean, come on folks.

NEW: Rep Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ) says she’ll file for impeachment articles vs. Pete Hegseth "Hegseth’s reckless endangerment of US servicemembers & repeated war crimes, including bombing a girls’ school in Minab, Iran and willfully targeting civilian infrastructure, are grounds for impeachment"

I had better see a record number of reposts on this.

No real problem with ordinary folks asking about the 25th, but every time a congressman asks for the cabinet to remove a president you should read that as them abdicating their own duty to pursue impeachment through congress

A top FEMA official is doubling down on his claims that he teleported to a Waffle House.

it speaks to the criminal nature of Trump 2.0 that nobody close to him is ever actually fired because it's too risky for them to be fully on the outside. Instead, they get reassigned to cushy fake jobs to keep them onside.

hmm

Last week Janey was on death’s doorstep. Today her biggest problem was getting stuck trying to climb into a ball pit. Thank you to all of our supporters who have made her new life of luxury problems possible. 💕

Look, can we just please say trans people are people and leave it there? And can the jerks who want to pull down their undies to gape at what they've got down there please all yeet themselves straight into the sun?

I’m not sure if this is a 1/72 AFV diorama or a Christmas dinner table centrepiece #histscalemodels

I'm starting a new weekly video every Saturday morning on markets and macro. The first episode was yesterday. I discussed why upside to oil is limited even if we embargo Iranian oil. Brent at $115 already prices significant disruption. You can watch here: robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/update-on-...

I showed up for a staff meeting today and ended up holding a baby goat in a tiny sweater the whole time. I love working at a farm sanctuary. 🥹

The true measure of the damnation of Trump's war effort is that it's made the Iranian regime look like the good guys.

At the height of the tariff stand-off with China in April 2025, Trump was essentially negotiating with himself - threatening escalation and then pulling back - while China stayed silent. We're at that stage now on Iran. China won the 2025 stand-off... robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/how-high-w...

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

still amazing that trump bragged about oil prices being low less than a month ago at the state of the union and pam bondi bragged about the dow being 50k in mid february, and now gas prices are up a third and the dow's down 10 percent

“Parliament had turned over its constitutional authority to Hitler and thereby committed suicide, though its body lingered on in an embalmed state.” Shirer, William L. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (p. 331)

A group of us in the Senate are demanding public hearings on Trump's disastrous war with Iran with Secretary Hegseth and Rubio. And we've introduced a half dozen war powers resolutions to force the Senate to vote every day on the war if the hearings don't happen.

Once again—New Mexico is leading the way by protecting free and fair elections! NM becomes the first state in the nation to ban armed federal agents at the ballot box. This is how you do it! 🗳️🇺🇸💪

“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”

I wrote something years ago. At the time it was an angry answer to the Second Gulf War. But it still applies to American misrule. Slim Charles > The entire Trump administration.

Did it strike you as strange that Pentagon analysts freaked out about munitions shortages DAYS into the bombing campaign in Iran? It's because the same problems afflicting our economy—outsourcing, consolidation, and rule by Wall Street—characterize our bloated military. prospect.org/2026/03/12/i...

😑

Here's my bottom line: Much of what they are doing is bad. Much of what they are doing is unpopular. Pushback is working. We are winning. Keep fighting. Be creative. Push for what you'd want. Allow for insiders and outsiders. Realize that change takes time. Reduce harm in the meantime.

Corporate America is in its golden era. @kedseconomist.com explains why that’s not helping workers 🎥

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?
