Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

It's an Emergency Donut Vehicle. An EMERGENCY DONUT VEHICLE!

It’s penguin nesting season, and love is in the air at Penguin Point! Keeper Stephanie is delivering fresh lavender and cozy nesting materials to help the colony prepare for the season ahead. 🐧

JUST NOW: House Democrats were set to try to pass a resolution to halt Trump's war with Iran — but the Republican presiding over the session, Chris Smith of New Jersey, gaveled out without calling on Rep. Glenn Ivey, who going to introduce the resolution. Democrats shouted in protest.

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel. King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

NEW: Trump accepted $37m worth of donated steel for his WH ballroom project from the Luxembourg-based company ArcelorMittal. Days later, the WH made adjustments to Trump's tariffs that could benefit ArcelorMittal.

Wall Street Journal publishes Iran's 10 point peace plan which President Trump said in his Truth Social post last night was ‘a workable basis on which to negotiate’

Took a gander around our national elected’s socials to see what they’re talking about as we hurtle toward certain doom and got exactly what I expected: Michael Baumgartner seems to be thrilled about “America’s impressive progress in Iran” and also easter

“Acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population are prohibited.” Geneva Convention Additional Protocol I and Department of Defense Law of War Manual, § 5.2.2

It’s probably nothing. 🤡 @dkthomp.bsky.social

When beekeepers saw widespread honeybee die-offs last year, researchers at the USDA Beltsville Agricultural Research Center stepped in to help. The Trump administration now plans to close the facility, sparking concern among beekeepers and scientists.

A Reddit user has meticulously kept a diary of Trump’s daily victory claims. It should form part of every historical archive on the planet. Brace yourself, here goes 🧵👇

The Kurds kept the weapons. 😆 They’re not stupid. They aren’t going to be pushed into a civil war to serve Trump’s interested.

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

We are in for one hell of a fire season. God help us.

Here are my first set of ratings for this year's state legislative elections in Missouri! The Democrats need three seats to break the supermajority in the State House and two seats to break the supermajority in the State Senate. Both definitely doable in a Democratic midterm.

NEW: The Pentagon today invited more than 3,500 employees to attend a Good Friday service at its in-house chapel. Except it’s only for Protestants, not Catholics. www.huffpost.com/entry/news-l...

As a result of Trump & Hegseth's re-segregation, all five service chiefs, the JCS chairman and vice chairman, and nine of ten combatant commanders are white men. Also, the U.S. military is back to zero female four-star officers for the first time since 2008; there were four in 2024.

Pfizer has ended its large Phase III Trial of an updated COVID19 vaccine. They were not able to enroll enough people to meet their goal. A major problem is the FDA’s wholly unreasonable demand that people with chronic conditions, who benefit most from the vaccine, not be allowed to participate.

A deep-pocketed Republican group is ostensibly trying to stop state Sen. John Cavanaugh from winning the Democratic primary for a swingy House seat in Nebraska. But an anonymous GOP strategy memo this year identified Cavanaugh as the candidate Republicans WANTED to face. So what's up?

The death of a nearly blind refugee who was found on a Buffalo street in February — five days after Border Patrol agents left him at a doughnut shop — has been ruled a homicide, authorities said. The Erie County Medical Examiner’s Office didn’t reach any conclusions about responsibility.

“.. Ten years ago today, Donald Trump said he would pay off the national debt in the span of just eight years.” @reason.com reason.com/2026/03/31/1...

I expect a lopsided majority of justices to evince skepticism of Trump's executive order against birthright citizenship during today's oral arguments at the Supreme Court, and I suspect the ruling will be at least 7–2 against Trump. One wrinkle is some justices may prefer a statutory holding...

1/ The US attempted to send several Iran-bound bombers to an Italian air base without prior authorisation and was refused permission by the Italian government while the aircraft were in flight. The news comes a day after Spain disclosed it was refusing US military overflights. ⬇️

March 30, 1980 Spectators lined the roads to photograph the eruptions — NBC called them "fireworks." Yet, in Cougar, cashier Debbie Grossie was scared about what Mount St. Helens could do. Meanwhile, at Spirit Lake, Harry Truman had enough bourbon, Coke and food to wait it out. He wasn't leaving.

Dozens of Jan. 6 defendants and others present on Capitol grounds have filed a class action in Florida against DC + Capitol police for their use of force during the riot. Many of those on the list were convicted of felonies (and pardoned by Trump). storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.) But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

EXCLUSIVE: Russia took satellite images of a U.S. air base days before Iran attacked the site and wounded Americans, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says.

The @washingtonpost.com can’t even write accurate headlines over the wire service stories in its fake Sports section. Sad.

The Mariners are the first team since at least 1900 without a single through their first two games of a season BASE BALL 9th team in span with 0 singles in ANY 2-game span, first since 2021 CHC Ty @J_Kirshenbaum for the q!!

A bill passed the Senate last night 100-0 to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA. If Speaker Johnson called it for a vote it would pass easily. But he won’t do that. Because Trump has ordered him to keep TSA shut down and keep the chaos. Pure incompetence.

"Senators have already left town for a two-week recess, and House lawmakers were set to join them." So, the airport crisis will get worse because House Republicans want ICE to have even more money despite the fact they already have the money to pay their employees.

AGAIN: It was never just about illegal immigration. They oppose immigrants. (Reminder: 🇺🇸 was built on immigration)

I don't know that they are exporting more (iirc their prewar volume was about 1.4 million barrels per day) but the price per barrel is about right
