"Well, I had to try."

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

Approximately 5,000 additional Marines and sailors are deploying to the Middle East to support the war in Iran, according to three U.S. officials. - NBC

This should be the biggest weather and climate news on your radar today. You can send an email today to say why dismantling NCAR is a bad idea for everyone: [email protected]

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 President Donald Trump is expected to remove Richard Grenell as head of the Kennedy Center, according to three sources familiar with the matter. The announcement of Grenell’s departure could come as soon as today. www.cnn.com/2026/03/13/p...

Meta spent seven years telling us they were working on true end-to-end encryption across all their various messaging apps... and finally rolled it out in 2024. And then less than three years later, they're shutting it off for Instagram? What? www.androidpolice.com/instagram-is...

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg has rejected DOJ’s subpoenas for Jerome Powell, finding they were issued for an improper purpose — Trump’s bid to pressure him to lower interest rates storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

JD Vance is a vile fascist sponsored by the worst of the tech oligarchs; he will say literally anything to become president, do not let him

They are now refusing to state the number of American casualties in the Iran war. When regimes do this, it is a HUGE RED FLAG.

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit

South African immigrants to the US are returning to South Africa because the US does not feel safe, citing school shooters and ICE raids. apple.news/A9pQEUbPrT_W...

Perfect, no notes.

Trump nominating a woman who tweets about voter fraud conspiracy theories and openly sympathizes with January 6 rioters makes me think that we are, at most, six months away from him making a judge out of someone who was personally at the Capitol on January 6

This is Vance's set up for when Trump fails, 25A gets discussed and he wants to seem like the reasonable alternative.

tired: harassing athletes for not covering the spread wired: harassing journalists for not making things up

Boots on the ground. The Pentagon is moving a Marine expeditionary unit to the Middle East, as Iran steps up its attacks on the Strait of Hormuz. Hegseth has approved a request from Central Command for the expeditionary unit, typically consisting of up to 2,500 Marines. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

This is not going to go well

When Stoller wrote a piece praising a pro-lynching Southern Democrat years ago, I stopped taking him seriously and have never regretted that choice.

Now the fossil guys are going after Bay Area air regulations too. This AI astroturf is going to be a huge problem if these guys don't get the hammer dropped on them pretty fast. Tailor-made for a @robbonta.bsky.social investigation.

APNewsAlert: ISTANBUL (AP) — Turkey's Defense Ministry says NATO air defenses intercept third ballistic missile over Turkey since start of #Iran war.

CENTCOM:

Absolute psychopath

NEW: Pete Hegseth's pastor and mentor says the United States should ban public Masses, Marian processions, and Corpus Christi devotions. Hegseth invited the anti-Catholic preacher to lead a prayer service at the Pentagon on February 14.

Truly one of the worst human beings serving in Congress today. And that is really saying something.

You know what we're not griping about enough? That Donald Trump's face is going to be on U.S. currency—on $1 coins—later this year. This will be the first time a living president has appeared solo on a coin, and one of the very few times a living individual has ever been on U.S. coinage.

Oman's foreign minister, who attempted to shame the US into not entering a war of aggression, says that the goals of US-Israeli war on Iran are not limited to weakening Iran, but also the Gulf states and anyone supportive of Palestinians. Calls on GCC to reconsider security arrangements.

Melania has the chance to do the funniest thing.

Sounds like the guy planning it out fucked up

Kinda thinking getting rid of all the knowledgeable "DEI" minorities may have been a self own.

Oh noooooooooo

A SECTION 301 INVESTIGATION INTO HOW MANY COUNTRIES? www.cnbc.com/2026/03/13/u...

I kid you not... The same White House that forgot that invading Iran might lead it to close the Strait of Hormuz, is now arguing (through Peter Navarro) that war with Iran is a good idea because it'll prevent Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz.

LMAO at Bessent saying that it is "unfortunate" that the move from Trump to intentionally benefit his buddy Putin would do exactly what it is intended to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/u...

What fresh Hell

Rare CVH L

Again, leaders of other countries don’t talk this way. The glee with which our current leaders talk about killing people is not normal, and nor is their lack of concern for who exactly we’re killing. American bombs incinerated 100 kids in Minab. Were those the “right people”?

I have to say the Treasury manipulating oil futures and losing the American people a lot of money in order to hide the cost of Donald Trump’s unconstitutional war and then failing immediately is a very funny scandal as it goes.

At least 16 oil tankers and cargo ships have been attacked in the Persian Gulf since the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran began nearly two weeks ago, a New York Times analysis shows. Iran has claimed responsibility for several of the attacks.

Surveillance state in full swing.

Doing literally nothing would've been preferable. Trump actively makes things worse every time.

Stephen Miller complaining about the UK finally eliminating heredity nobility from their legislature is a perfect encapsulation of how perverse it is to have these people in charge during the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

now would you look at that
