He’s aligning his technology with both GOP political strategy and the larger male-centered culture war that the right has been waging for the better part of a decade now. trib.al/51P5Prq

This mfer is dangerous and the Dems will need to knock Palantir down a few pegs. "Palantir CEO: Our AI Will Lessen Power Of Democrats"

The moment Bari fully comprehends that she and CBS News is wholely captured and controlled by Trump now. Congrats, I guess? www.joemygod.com/2026/03/wh-f...

The idea that the White House didn't figure Iran might try to cut off oil out of the Gulf is comical. They didn't figure for what has now become the fulcrum point of the whole conflict. Iran's leaders are now showing that regime change can work in both directions.

Alabama Senator Tuberville posted today that Muslims are the enemy. Please read this piece about how his state of Alabama is treating Muslim prisoners. boltsmag.org/alabama-exec...

It was always our intention to attack Iran for threatening us imminently. A lot of time and thought went into this longstanding planned response to imminence. Haven’t you heard of the fog of excursion?

‘Nobody Gives a F*ck About Housing!’ Trump Reportedly Demanded Housing Bill Be Shelved With Stunning Comment to Speaker

BYE BYE Chili's. You're dead to me.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) had an angry confrontation with an NBC film crew after he changed course on his support for the filibuster to attempt to push through a voting bill backed by President Donald Trump.

Oh, and look, here's that class action suit! That anyone with half a brain would have seen coming! From, like, a million miles away! Just because you work in tech doesn't mean you're smart.

Right-wing activist Mark Meckler demonstrated the dangers of living in the MAGA media bubble when he complained that most people don't know that Trump deployed a hospital ship to Greenland. That is probably because Trump did no such thing. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

‘Elon Musk is an aggressive and irresponsible salesman, who has a long history of making dangerous design choices, and over-promising the features of his products.’

Real answer: "I can't answer that because my advanced dementia only allows me to react to moment-to-moment vibes"

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

This story suggests that Witkoff and Kushner bungled the negotiations with Iran because they don't understand nuclear technology www.ms.now/news/trump-i...

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they would not allow ‘one litre of oil’ to be shipped from the Middle East if US and Israeli attacks continue, prompting a warning from President Trump that the US would hit Iran much harder if it blocked exports from the vital energy-producing region reut.rs/4bwHKJw

The U.S. could have had the schematics for Iran’s Shahed drones, but the Trump administration said no. One U.S. official described it as the biggest mistake Donald Trump made in the lead-up to the war. trib.al/hSzLlme

JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House. Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports. (Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.) This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

I've seen enough 😂 @99% Dem Shawn Harris, wins plurality in MTG's disctrict! WOOT!!

@91% - lead grew slightly since last update

Not really breaking any news here.

3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.

🧵

Trump said this week that Iran was 2 weeks away from having a nuclear bomb. This is what he said in July.

⬇️ For your consideration: Watch to learn about the $220M taxpayer-funded ad campaign that's tied to a mysterious Delaware LLC and a horse named Gill. More details: propub.li/4uoc28E

@77% lead holding up and seems will win the plurality at the end, but now doubt it'll go to a runoff.

@73% and still a sizable lead

@61% race is tightening up

53% in

53% in

Whaaaaaat?

Greenspan workshopped every adverb and particle before he opened his mouth in public. Obama lamented how carefully he had to govern his tongue just to protect people’s retirement investments. This administration is run by insane people. If you can’t say something sane, STFU.
