If Trump was behind this prosecution, it is an impeachable offense.

NEW: i took a look at legislation @sanders.senate.gov is intro'ing today to impose a data center moratorium “until legislation is enacted that safeguards the public from the dangers of AI" it's a major line in the sand for progressives looking to tie data center opposition w AI safety

NBC reports that Trump gets a short daily highlight reel "of the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours." "But the video briefing is fueling concerns among some of Trump’s allies that he may not be receiving — or absorbing — the complete picture of the war."

Most of us may see Trump waging war with Iran, but he and Jared and his fellow grifters see an opportunity to further enrich themselves day after day. And if American men and women sacrifice their lives and thousands of others die? Just collateral damage to these criminals.

Just a reminder that unless you are carrying a passport or a notarized birth certificate, you don't have proof of citizenship. The new driver's licenses are not proof. Non-citizens can get a driver's license, That means any ICE agent can detain you at will. Enjoy your flight.

An unaccounted for part of the economy is how much young people virulently hate AI, despite how aggressively it's being forced on them. They realize it's making their friends dumber and ruining the world and they want nothing to do with it. From the Penn student paper: www.thedp.com/article/2026...

Yup. Donald Trump's private army. S.A. brown-shirts redux.

Trump voted in this election — casting a ballot BY MAIL while he and his administration are trying to eliminate mail ballots. His candidate lost the race to represent Mar-a-lago.

again I point out how strange it is that high-level diplomatic negotiations of war and peace are being conducted by freelancers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have egregious conflicts of interest, and not the actual secretary of state

A judge has ruled that a Pentagon policy limiting independent press access is unlawful, dealing a major blow to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's push for tighter media control. https://cnn.it/47g5dwa

NEW: To dramatically increase the amount of energy available to power artificial intelligence, the Trump administration is rewriting thousands of pages of nuclear power regulations while downplaying safety issues and focusing on industry incentives.

The Trump Admin says hurting consumers is the "last of our concerns right now." They don’t care.

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

A quote targeted to CNBC’s audience.

He also seems like a pretty decent guy

I guess it’s not surprising that someone who is personally incapable of being persuaded that he’s wrong is also incapable of imagining that others could be persuaded.

Trump appears surprised that the Iranian regime didn’t collapse after the death of its leader and that it has responded by targeting the Strait of Hormuz. Both contingencies were eminently foreseeable, but Trump’s management of this conflict has been woefully & predictably deficient. wapo.st/3Pa2NsJ

It's wild to me that higher ed leaders can tell themselves that institutional neutrality will get the job done and then you've got Hungarian ambassadors and Russian dissidents saying this is the way you aid authoritarianism

Brendan Carr gaslighting journalists and threatening news orgs doing their job covering Trump’s war—claiming they “must operate in the public interest”? What a disgrace this man is as he backs a demand for propaganda. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/w...

As the wife of a Veteran, this hit me hard. A Trump fundraising email used a photo from soldiers' dignified transfer (the flag-draped coffins arriving home) to sell "private national security briefings" for donors. 1/3 #EndTheWar #HonorOurTroops #Mayra4Congress #scpolitics #sc01 #southcarolina

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

We must not look at goblin men, We must not buy their fruits: Who knows upon what soil they fed Their hungry thirsty roots?

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

NEWS: In 2019, the Trump DOJ took over New Mexico’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch — telling the state to stand down and turn over its findings. According to officials and newly unsealed records, the probe soon fizzled after the federal takeover. Link to NYT reporting in reply.

We wanted to save Iranians from the bad guys. So we killed the bad guys. This turned out to be unfortunate, because our plan was, after saving the Iranians from the bad guys, to pick one of the bad guys to be *our* bad guy and to leave him in charge.

This. The outcome of NEVER demanding accountability.

Hegseth comes off like a 20 year old frat boy who just guzzled three vodka and Red Bulls.

“They are terrifying because they seem untethered alike from policy goals and logic. Trump offered a range of half-hearted explanations for his rush to war, but the conflicting excuses only underlined the obvious truth — he attacked Iran because he felt like it.”

"The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% between 2017+2025, a colossal leap from the 45% growth they had seen over the previous nine years. The number of U.S. billionaires jumped 50% by some estimates between 2017+2025, to more than 900 people." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/u...

Hegseth’s speech was both sycophantic and psychopathic. Where is the president and what is the plan, sir? We deserve answers not jingoistic propaganda.

Keep this list in mind as you consume news about Iran.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies. If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

“The point is that both Hitler and Stalin held out promises of stability in order to hide their intention of creating a state of permanent instability.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.

I love this.

Another forever war because people can’t bring themselves to vote for women…

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

This interview was a lot of fun to do. Many thanks to Dr. Matthew Stephens (@c19thnewshound.bsky.social) for the kind invitation.

Since MSM isn't hammering this message daily... I will: If. You. Don't. Have. A. Passport. Get. One. By. The. End. Of. March. GET IT.

Latest update from Columbia prez re: the abduction of their student this morning. DHS is fucking deranged. “The agents gained entry by stating they were police searching for a missing child. Our security cameras captured the agents in the hallway showing pictures of the alleged missing child.”

America won’t heal until we have our own version of the Nuremberg trials.

I will have way more to say about this, but let me first shout this from my rooftop again… I am a gun violence prevention advocate. We cannot solve gun violence in the United States when the perpetrator of gun violence is the government of the United States.

CNN, the most legally buttoned-up game in town, reports that not just a few but more than 90 witness interviews seem to be missing from the Epstein files released by the DOJ. ‘“All of us have been looking for our victim statements,” one woman tells CNN
