I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

Death toll in a strike on girls’ school in southern Iran rises to 40, state media say:

BREAKING — 51 Iranian children are dead after a strike hits Minab girls elementary school in Iran.

@johnspacemuller.com hey John! We just changed our hosting on @rfkrefugees.bsky.social. What kind of sources can you pull from?

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English. He spent a year in jail for this.

This morning, Senator Bill Cassidy said it best: living organ donors are heroes. We strongly agree & thank him for his leadership in support the Living Donor Protect Act, which advanced out of committee today! Read our statement on this major step forward: bit.ly/4segFAy

This blind man - a refugee from Burma - was dropped off by Border Patrol at a Tim Horton's in Buffalo, NY. In the middle of February. A mile from a home where he no longer lived. While his relatives were searching for him. Cops found his body 5 days later www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

Jack Hughes: “I looked on the ice and saw my teeth”

By the way, a reminder on Jack Hughes, since the grifters are already trying to hijack his postgame interview www.vogue.com/article/meet...

Today, I woke up and went to take my medicine (I am old). I took the wrong pills and took my sleeping pill. This has not been good.

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve? If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days? If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built? It's a tax. That's all it is.

Pay the man.

It’s like a VPN except I’m paying for it.

Included in this is news about Paid Family and Medical leave moving forward. Great leadership from @brianasewellva.bsky.social and @jenniferboysko.com

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

The chill FDA’s Moderna decision sends through the entire vaccine R&D ecosystem can’t be ignored. Many bigger pharma companies already downsized in-house vaccine efforts or cut them entirely after the 80s out of liability concerns. An administration set against vaccines can kill US vax R&D capacity.

SB2 will be big and I'm hoping the legislature can get this on the Governor's desk soon!

Southcom killed 2 more in the Eastern Pacific today, making at least 131 civilians killed by the US with no due process in 35 attacks over 5 months. Only a sick nation would do this. 23 attacks in the Eastern Pacific, 10 in the Caribbean, 2 unspecified. See adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

@reckless.bsky.social I did not expect an interview with the CEO of Siemens to be as interesting as it was, but a pleasant surprise. Love the show, always.

*new* from me: As pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training, three front office staffers spoke to me about helping Latino baseball players and their families navigate an America ravaged by ICE raids. They say guidance from MLB has been “minimal” so their teams are getting creative.

Pay the man if you don’t want to just read AI summaries and deal with the more annoying indie nats social media accounts.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

An old classic.

They're Abrego-Garcia-ing a child -- punishing him because his very existence is inconvenient to them. It's gutter bigotry and petulant sadism all the way down.

Bold to say out loud considering the amount of American paper our adversaries hold.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

Abolish ICE is too confusing. What we meant to say is that "no masks should be deployed in an arbitrary and capricious fashion."

the shuttering of the post's high school sports coverage means no more all-met awards. absolute abdication of the role a local paper should play

Every lawyer knows this man. He’s the one who loved to “play devil’s advocate” for rapists in crim and do a “thought experiment” about what if maybe Brown v Board was wrong actually in con law.

Wolverine meme.

San Diego FC thrashes Pumas 4-1 in the ConcaChampions last night, their debut in the competition. It was the first official, competitive match of 2026 featuring an MLS team. The season is here.

Since they’re gonna cut the Sports section, aka the only reason I had left to pay for this paper, I’d love an option to pay for local news and sports coverage but I’m not sure one exists.

I’m not gonna be able to last a full season of my team’s GM cringe posting every day on LinkedIn. I’m gonna crack. #dcu
