I know the refrain is "this will lose in court" but the admin knows that, this whole circus act is about spending your taxpayer money to bring the lawsuit in the first place and then Trump pocketing the settlement he gets from it. Double dipping on your dime. That matters too!

Carr needs to be removed simply for uttering this threat.

The lawyers are likely correct that Carr would lose this in court. They were also likely correct that Trump would lose his lawsuits against ABC and CBS -- but their corporate owners (with much deeper pockets to fight than a local station) folded instead. That’s the real threat.

"Carr has very little power to follow through. TV stations are not at serious risk of being banned from airwaves b/c of Carr’s crusade. However, comments still carry weight since [he] represents the US gov't & advances Trump’s policy agenda." (@brianstelter.bsky.social) www.cnn.com/2026/03/14/m...

This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.

DISCO IS NEXT

‘The roots of the problem are traced to the Revenue Act of 1964, which cut taxes even as the administration was increasing spending on both the Vietnam War and the Great Society social program. Like Nixon Trump may be at risk of ushering in a stagflation all his own.‘ www.barrons.com/articles/sta...

So if anybody -- state attorneys general, Democratic politicians, sentient beings -- doesn't understand why Paramount Skydance's takeover of Warner Bros./CNN is a huge problem, Pete Hegseth is here to explain it to you. Stop the propaganda. Block this merger.

Donald Trump said Iran are welcome to the World Cup but that he does not believe it is appropriate that they be there ‘for their own life and safety’

FIFA Peace Prize

If the U.S. president can't guarantee the safety of participants in the World Cup, then the World Cup shouldn't be played in the U.S.

Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.

How it’s playing in France. 🤡

U.S. leaders were told: "declare victory and go home" in Vietnam as early as 1966, but fought for 7 more years and thousands of pointless deaths The Trump regime has lost an even more senseless war in Iran in just 2 weeks. The time for leaving is now My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/iran...

Micah Loewinger spoke to Nicole Hemmer, a historian at Vanderbilt University about VOA.

Just the President threatening a soccer team ahead of the World Cup. No big deal.

Donald Trump calls Thomas Massie a traitor for supporting the release of the Epstein Files. Journalists need to start asking Trump what he is trying to hide.

I’m positive I’ll get hired to write on his show. I put this article on my vision board.

Tips For Researching Local Candidates https://theonion.com/tips-for-researching-local-candidates/

The National Transportation Safety Board released documents ahead of a March 31 hearing that help show how and why two drivers crashed into stationary vehicles in 2024, leading to three deaths.

“Everyone is pissed; fans I’ve talked to are pissed; local vendors/restaurants/business owners I’ve talked to are irritated. And mayors have asked for help in (reaching) out to FIFA.” (@kamlager-dove.house.gov via @henrybushnell.bsky.social @adamcrafton.bsky.social) www.nytimes.com/athletic/710...

An ongoing military investigation has determined that the US was responsible for a Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian school that killed 175, refuting Trump's claim that Iran did it. @julianbarnes.bsky.social @tylerpager.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

Iran cannot participate in the 2026 World Cup after co-host the US launched airstrikes alongside Israel, Sports Minister Ahmad Donyamali said, after the attacks killed the country’s former supreme leader bit.ly/4brYWyS

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com President Trump “thought he might remake the country in his own image,” our columnist Jamelle Bouie writes. “Instead, he’s likely to leave it like one of his casinos: broke, broken and in desperate need of new management.”

“.. with dozens suffering injuries including brain trauma, shrapnel wounds and burns, multiple sources told CBS News. At least one required the amputation of a limb.” @cbsnews.com www.cbsnews.com/news/strike-...

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

Any serious examination of the "diplomacy" of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner comes to one very obvious conclusion: they're in it for private profit, which they exploit the name and reputation of the US to achieve. They have no interest in brokering peace. foreignpolicy.com/2026/03/03/w...

Scoop: The Pentagon barred press photographers from briefings on the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military conflict with Iran after they published photos of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that his staff deemed "unflattering."

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens. snyder.substack.com/p/the-desire...

Russia is the one thing that can attack the US in countless ways and Trump never ever ever responds

IMPEACHMENT ODDS FOR TRUMP HIT ALL-TIME HIGH Prediction markets are increasingly betting that Donald Trump could be impeached again before 2028. On Kalshi, the probability has climbed to around 71% — an all-time high on the market after steadily rising from the mid-50% range

Look at these charts. TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help. The timing coincides with the Trump administration’s dismantling of the CFPB. www.propublica.org/article/cred... @joeljacobs.bsky.social

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “I’m sure these administration officials deem professionalism overrated, outdated, an enemy of necessary disruption, a brake on real genius,” Frank Bruni writes of President Trump’s team. “Wrong. Professionalism recognizes that your job is bigger than you are.”

Will these stories include any discussions of how Nexstar is using economy of scale to reduce local air-staff while nationalizing its news production?

The old footage of Trump at a dignified transfer ceremony didn't just air on Fox News -- it aired on local Fox affiliates that are regulated by the FCC. attn: Brendan Carr. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/sho...

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

"For the next phase of my career, I look forward to some independence and finding new spaces to share my work in line with my personal goals." Another CBS News journalist leaving and talking about independence. Bit of a not-so-subtle hint at what's happening over there.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
