Moscow is now claiming that Estonia has no legal right to exist… and has activated terror cells to “defend” Russian-speaking Estonians.

There's a bigger story here, too, that I don't think I've seen explicitly articulated. The US has never really been in a position where it has to make significant concessions from a position of weakness, rather than exhaustion, to secure a peace treaty. That creates two interrelated problems. 1/x

Don't mean to shock you, but rumor has it that Hegseth is still drinking. On the job. Too bad he can't be sober like Tiger. Or Giuliani. Or Ronny Jackson. Or Pirro. Or Donny, Jr. www.thedailybeast.com/hegseths-top... #resist

"the 2027 proposal is not expected to include 10-year deficit projections, meaning the White House won’t offer a full picture of how it projects the president’s policies adding to future deficits." The thing is, even If we don't calculate the deficit numbers, they will still exist.

Has Iranian state TV paid a $787 million settlement for spreading lies about an election?

Incidentally, the far right IS turning on Whiskey Pete, even sort of kind of bc he's firing competent brown and female people during war. Greg Kelly actually has the ability to get inside Trump's brain.

How corruption works. Daddy asks for $1.5T. His top campaign donor asks for $1T. His spawn enter the defense contracting business.

That's why it's utterly critical to make the case that Whiskey Pete is losing the Iran War bc he's a bigot.

The Trump administration is attempting to dismantle the U.S. Forest Service. The goal is to cause constant chaos so you can’t follow what’s happening day to day. Here is what’s going on. BREAKING: The administration just announced a sweeping restructuring and it’s as bad as it sounds.

There’s currently a frantic search taking place for two US pilots who were shot down in Iran, and this idiot is talking about taking the oil.

The US Department of War Crimes.

Both WSJ and NYT say that Boris Epshteyn was key advocate for firing Bondi. Remember that Todd Blanche was Epshteyn's lawyer before he was Trump's (and he was Paul Manafort's before that). www.wsj.com/politics/pol... www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/u...

As if a full day of Russian drone attacks on our city weren’t enough, they’ve now struck Kharkiv with four ballistic missiles‼️ Despite the intensity, the shockwave shaking my home and setting off car alarms... I’m not even afraid anymore. Just exhausted.

A reminder that last week, Pam Bondi accidentally released a Jack Smith memo revealing Trump’s motive for stealing and illegally retaining classified documents.

CAMPAIGN TRUMP: “Child care is child care. You have to have it. We’re going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people. America first.” PRESIDENT TRUMP: “We can’t take care of daycare. Just military.” 🤔 🤷🏼 #StopTheWar

The message sent is “Under Trump treason pays.”

The Colorado Times Recorder reports on ICE’s sprawling network of unofficial detention sites:

Regarding Todd Blanche: It is probably a good time to recall that he literally ordered up the kidnapping of the Mayor of New Jersey's biggest city. emptywheel.net/2025/09/30/s...

This is pretty alarming. Based on reports they also targeting Microsoft, Google and Apple. This will only escalates to more serious situation 😳 this is not seen in the us news

How cute is this, the birds are making good use of the nesting materials holder I made .. today, jute is the favourite! 🫶

Being fired doesn’t erase Pam Bondi’s subpoena to testify. But republicans are considering withdrawing support for the subpoena. Bondi claims a previous congressional briefing satisfied the subpoena to be deposed ktvz.com/politics/cnn...

I wish I had my own OLC.

The NFL won't cave to #Florida AG James "Oopsie!" Uthmeier's demand that they get rid of the pro-diversity Rooney Rule & go back to only interviewing white, male coaching candidates. www.politico.com/news/2026/03... via @politico.com

Reminder that just days ago, Trump mocked the possibility that IRGC had the ability to target US tech companies.

Russian command just took a hit. Lt. Gen. Alexander Otrushchenko, Northern Fleet aviation commander, reportedly died in an An-26 crash in occupied Crimea on March 31, along with 6 staff officers. Losses like this weaken coordination where it matters most.... t.me/Bratchuk_Ser...

Over 100 International Law Experts Warn: U.S. Strikes on Iran Violate UN Charter and May Be War Crimes at www.justsecurity.org/135423/profe...

Quite the numbers… “In the first 16 days, the US, together with coalition forces, burned through more than 11,200 munitions, according to RUSI. Among these were more than 1,200 RTX Patriot missile-defence systems, hundreds of its long-range Tomahawk missiles and more than 300 Thaad interceptors.”

@ChefJoseAndres 'I am a cook and I know there is no America without immigrants. There is no food at our table without immigrants. There is no farm without immigrants. There are no kitchens without immigrants.'

BREAKING: We @democracydefendersfund.org & @lawyerscomm.bsky.social sued DHS & ICE They’re using facial recognition apps to surveil the public — including U.S. citizens & protesters 100,000+ times w/ zero records produced & w/ zero transparency -TN

This sounded too fantastic, even for Trump, so I checked.

Trump’s corruption and grift is unprecedented.

Reminder: Tomorrow’s oral argument in Trump v. Barbara will not tell us whether the Constitution guarantees birthright citizenship We already know that it does, and we have known it for a long time What it will show, though, is how far gone this Supreme Court is ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/birth...

THIS perfectly describes most of today’s media bias and failure!

Reup: I think we're being treated to pics of Bryon Noem's boobies bc Corey Lewandowski threatened to expose Stephen Miller's ties to the murder of Alex Pretti. emptywheel.net/2026/03/31/d...

For the first time ever, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will stream the two opening songs of the Springsteen & E Street Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour kickoff in Minneapolis — live and free at approximately 7:30 p.m. CT tonight!

CA high-speed rail construction is going great! Nearly 80 miles of guideway are complete, 58 structures fully finished, and 29 more underway. Track installation is imminent. CA has secured $1 billion annually through 2045. It is the only high-speed rail system under construction in the entire US!

Wow this is a gorgeous bird! @dgcomedy.bsky.social @dailybeanspod.com No wonder you guys mention this bird as a favorite!

Narcotics trafficking and cartels- the regime is lifting sanctions?!? Yikes!

U.S. Army officials launched an investigation into two AH-64 Apache attack helicopters that flew over Saturday’s “No Kings” protest in downtown Nashville before performing low-altitude maneuvers near the home of Kid Rock.

The Marine Corps confirmed it. DHS says no arrests will be made. But families without proper documents will have to answer to federal immigration agents just to see their child graduate. These families gave this country a Marine. This country sent ICE to greet them and demand their papers.

For 13 weeks, Marine recruits aren’t allowed to see their families. Not once. Graduation day is the first reunion. It’s supposed to be a celebration. At Parris Island in South Carolina this week, ICE agents will be stationed at the gate checking the immigration status of anyone who shows up to watch

Yeah, but they had to get just the right lighting for all those profile photos. Still no investigation, no hospital record, & most ppl can't recall the shooter's name. And if you think "God protected Trump," you believe God wanted Cory Comperatore to die, horribly, in front of his kids.

It was just 24 days between when Zuck went on Rogan and talked about how "never again" would he suppress info based on gov't demands (misrepresenting those demands) and when he texted top gov't employee Elon Musk to say "we're all set up to take down info you want removed." I wrote about it here.

An important and short video from Rachel Maddow: www.youtube.com/shorts/tQ6Ts...

I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”

“Most disturbingly, [Hegseth] dismissed the death of US service members in the Middle East with the trite ‘tragic things happen,’ while Trump added: ‘That’s the way it is, likely to be more.’” www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

NATO: On Monday 30 March, NATO again successfully intercepted an Iranian ballistic missile heading to Türkiye. NATO is prepared for such threats and will always do what is necessary to defend all Allies.

This law is vile — designed to protect violent settlers who terrorize Palestinians in the West Bank. The messianic extremists running the Israeli government — in addition to doing extreme harm to Palestinians — are doing more harm to Israel & Jews globally than Hamas could ever do.
