Someone is salty that nobody wants to play with him.

And here we go crypto is attacking Governor Pritzker who passed laws regulating them and is pouring millions into the campaign in Illinois. So you when you ask what’s wrong with our politicians why don’t they represent us? There is your answer.

Q: Can you give one example of fraud in a previous election that the SAVE America Act would stop? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, we're not gonna litigate all that

"I don't know where Joe Kent is getting his information." The dumbest statement today. Kent ran the operations that obtain that information.

Oh

🙄 FFS - there were a lot of experts saying that for ages.

Since I’m basically finished with the en-suite bathroom update, I decided to paint the bedroom, and all I can say is painting is a great way of tricking yourself into doing a deep spring cleaning. Everything gets moved & cleaned.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon has come up with a plan to limit the independence of Stars and Stripes, the news publication for members of the US military that has been published continuously since World War II.

(Reuters) - Israel on Monday warned that displaced Lebanese driven from their homes by its military campaign would not be able to return until the safety of Israelis living near the border was ensured, as Israeli troops pushed into new parts of southern Lebanon. @reuters.com

It’s not just gas prices that are being impacted by Donald Trump’s war in Iran. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has severely impacted the supply chain for generic prescription drugs (which make up about 90% of prescriptions filled here in the U.S.). 🧵

Skipping the Oscars to meet with Zelensky - you go Spicoli!

We need to end prediction markets for government action. NOW. This bone chilling story about a reporter’s life threatened bc he simply reported on Iran missile strikes: “After you make us lose $900,000 we will invest no less than that to finish you.”

🎯🎯

I’m beginning to think that the Attorney General needs to be an elected official. We cannot trust an appointed AG because the Senate cannot be trusted to do its job.

I would love to see what all the intelligence reports that he never read say about what would happen if we attacked Iran. Congress needs to start hauling in the head of Intelligence Agencies to ask them what the analysts said before he started this BS.

This is an incredible documentation of the systematic, intentional collapse of American health science, by Elizabeth Ginexi. open.substack.com/pub/elizabet...

Khanna on Fox News: "There was no imminent threat. Now there's a threat to the United States. We've created a threat."

Morning Bluesky.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

The installation, titled Above and Beyond, hangs in the National Veterans Art Museum in Chicago. It includes over 58,000 replica tags, one for each American soldier killed or missing in action during the Vietnam War.

In an usual move, the DOJ just submitted a filing supporting Alexander Smirnov's effort to withdraw his guilty plea & overturn his 6-year sentence. Dep. AG Todd Blanche signed the submission. Why is the DOJ helping this Russian-linked fabricator? 2/2 Sign up for for OUR LAND at davidcorn.com.

SCOOP. From my OUR LAND newsletter: Trump's DOJ is helping to get a convicted FBI informant tied to Russian intelligence out of prison. The lie this guy told the FBI—Joe Biden took a $5m bribe from Burisma—was the main evidence for the GOP impeachment drive. 1/2 link.motherjones.com/public/44694...

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.

Damn -

My husband loudly being amazed at the Trump hat wearers at tractor/feed store (not tractor supply - still boycotting them). Me, more quietly judging all the hat wearers for supporting a lying, cheating, warmongering, raping, child fvcker. Both of us bewildered anyone still supports him. 🫩

I need a good book recommendation that will make me forget about the fuckery currently going on in the world.

The ball joint replacement was a success! We used the hell out of the truck today. Bought door molding, 2 bales of straw for the garden, grass seed, potting soil. Tried not to think about how diesel is up to almost $6/gallon - but, it’s a newer eco diesel & it gets 20+ mph just running around town.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

There is absolutely no bottom. @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2026/03/13/p...

Mussolini defined fascism as the marriage of business and government

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : "The White House put a video on social media that depicted this war as a video game… When 🇺🇸 service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries… it speaks to the moral rot of this administration." (H/T @atrupar.com )

😂

Fridays used to be - “Woohoo - it’s the weekend”. Now, it’s - “What in the fuck sort of nefarious shit will Trump stir up. He does so much shit on Friday nights when the world is busy not paying attention“. Makes me more than a bit nervous these days.😳

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

What are we *allowed* to talk about now that the DOW is down?

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Good fecking lord - really? I kind of like the US President to have some sort of a plan. FFS

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social: Nothing has separated voters from Trump more than the Epstein ‘cover-up’ youtu.be/lMHA4YGFZs4?...

13 American service members have been killed in this illegal war with Iran under Secretary Pete Hegseth’s watch. My heart is with their families and loved ones. But Hegseth won't take accountability. Instead, he's pushing for Donald Trump's billionaire friend to censor CNN.

At my son’s house, not even 2 hours away & I’m sitting here looking at daffodils & drizzle. We might be one of the few areas in WA that isn’t getting any snow today - HWY’s are closed all over the State. Winter’s last hurrah?❄️

Please send some good thoughts our way today - the truck has been ripped apart all week. The new ball joints didn’t fit & we had to order new ones, and my husband is getting stressy about the truck just sitting there not earning it’s keep. I’m like - well, at least it’s not burning any diesel. 💸 😂
