“They failed to achieve their goals at the beginning, and now, after 10 days, I think they are aimless.”

"She will be remembered not only as the most incompetent Secretary in the department’s twenty-three-year history but also as the person who succeeded where many progressive activists had failed in discrediting much of the D.H.S.’s institutional legitimacy." www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

This was such a good job by the NYT's Shawn McCreesh. He asked a very pointed and direct question to Trump about the school bombing, leading the president to corner himself (was he claiming the US sold Iran Tomahawks???) before admitting he doesn't "know enough" and will abide by the final report.

You can safely assume that anything Michael Powell writes is malignantly deceptive.

If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store. GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.

Q: You just suggested Iran got a Tomahawk & bombed its own school. But you're the only person in your govt saying this. Even your defense secretary wouldn't say that. Why are you the only person saying this? TRUMP: I just don't know enough about it. It's something I was told is under investigation.

Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it? TRUMP: You could say both

Important ruling on immigration operations in Minnesota Judge Tostrud (Trump appointee): "Plaintiffs have made a clear showing that Defendants have adopted a POLICY authorizing federal immigration officers to conduct investigatory stops based on ethnicity or race without reasonable suspicion." 1/

BREAKING: Judge Brann has ejected the new leaders of the NJ U.S. attorney's office, once again finding the Trump administration is illegally attempting to circumvent Senate confirmation. He says this could result in dismissals of indictments. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Normally when someone is this deluded, you'd ask them to name the president to see how far they're really gone

“I don’t want to brag, but no other president can do the shit I’m doing," Trump told GOP members of Congress just now.

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.) This is an atrocity.

Trump in the last couple of hours has said the US effort in Iran is “almost complete,” a “short-term excision,” and also, “we will not relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated.”

I can't believe I've never seen this before! "Two decades of WTF"? From Garry Trudeau? WTF? www.washingtonpost.com/doonesbury/m...

Deceptive @nytopinion.nytimes.com headline. Wouldn't you assume it's about the resistance *against* the regime? But it's not. It's about the *regime's* resistance. "Rather than compelling Iran to change course, Mr. Trump’s war plan is pushing the country to dig in." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/o...

Trump tells The Post no reason to panic over Iran war oil-price surge: 'I have a plan for everything'

TRUMP'S WAR. Damn straight. Hope it catches on.

The words you're looking for are "Fucking Nuts."

This WaPo article describes many signs of Trump’s dangerous derangement and unfitness, but in failing to state the obvious conclusion, it sanewashes his conduct. It uses “unique” as a pathetic euphemism for “chaotic and irrational“. It’s worse than nothing. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Two veteran journalists produced a documentary that showed evidence of war crimes in Gaza. But the BBC refused to air the film. This week on Reveal, we team up with @kcrw.com to tell the story of the film the BBC didn't want you to see:

WE STILL DON'T HAVE A CLEAR ANSWER ON THE MOST BASIC QUESTION ABOUT THE IRAN WAR WHY did the U.S. go to war? A Popular Information review of public statements over the last 9 days found 17 DIFFERENT EXPLAINATIONS. Many of which contradict each other. 🧵

my latest for the @nytimes.com w/ @mikebaker.bsky.social: we looked at how billionaires are increasing their spending in elections big and small all across the country, from federal races all the way down to school boards.

The piece is actually understated. And every major news organization around the globe should be writing daily about how manifestly unfit Hegseth AND Trump are to be leading a war.

OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters." www.techdirt.com/2026/02/19/d...

The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.

Guys I hate to say this but the war that doesn’t make sense that happened for no reason isn’t going perfectly

A handful of Republicans in Congress & Supreme Court can end this nightmare any time they choose, and history will remember them as saviors of the republic, no matter what terrible things they did to US in last 10 years: insane we cannot find a few volunteers for this plum deal!

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

X is a fascist propaganda website.

Khamenei is terrible. Nonetheless our dementia addled president, who launched a war of aggression with no plan or exit strategy and who controls enough nuclear weapons to destroy the planet multiple times over, is the most dangerous man in the world. Claiming otherwise is propaganda.

Every single professional journalist who uses the phrases “Department of War” or “Secretary of War” without scare quotes should be lined up on a public viewing stage and bopped on the head with a giant inflatable hammer that says DUMB DUMB on the handle and makes fart sounds.

What?

This, to me, was a veritable announcement of Trump's derangement. It wasn't just wrong, it showed he is disconnected to reality--as he leads a war! Big story! And yet at best, our news orgs noted that it appeared he was incorrect. They refuse to speak the obvious truth. We're so fucked.

A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.
