The guy who destroyed his prime ministership and his party in servile obeisance to George W Bush recommends his successors do the same only very much more intensely.

For The Daily Beast, I wrote about Trump driving the GOP right off a cliff. www.thedailybeast.com/the-power-dr...

Great article by Noah Hawley about what it's like to go to a billionaire's private retreat (spoiler: uncomfortable and weird): www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Incredible community note.

EXCLUSIVE: My latest story for @theatlantic.com : www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not

Wait for it to focus... Sound up... Earthset, recorded by Reid Wiseman during the Artemis II lunar flyby. The initial imperfect composition, and the phone hunting for focus makes this so much more human and familiar. A celestial scene witnessed by only 28 of us in history...more

this is fucking unreal stuff from Noah Wyle on the magic of The Pitt. www.gq.com/story/noah-w...

lets go back to worrying about piranhas, quicksand and the bermuda triangle is what i am trying to say

I’ll just never believe that Donald Trump is more “disturbed” now than he was when he was attacking the Central Park five, E. Jean Carroll, Obama’s birth certificate or during Covid. The media can just decide to be honest about it whenever

The woman being murdered in the video Trump posted was an immigrant. Her name was Nilufar Yasmin. She was from Bangladesh. Trump is weaponizing her death against communities like hers. Outstanding reporting from @pabloreports.bsky.social for Migrant Insider. migrantinsider.com/p/her-name-w...

We should not move on from the President threatening to annihilate a civilization.

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.

its the only explanation that makes sense too, there’s a bunch of goddam morons in charge doing things they dont understand because theyre morons and theyre there because morons voted for them

He’s literally traumatizing the world

It's quite something when the war you start leaves your enemy in a stronger strategic position than they were in before it started.

A big “C” word is missing in this report and others like it. I wonder if @axios.com and other outlets are ignoring that “C” word intentionally?

The world is looking at us with great unease.

Nate Swanson—an Iran expert on the NSC who was purged after being targeted by Laura Loomer—accurately predicted how Iran would respond to US attacks. This ran just four days before Trump launched his war of choice. Maybe not a good idea to ignore the experts! www.foreignaffairs.com/middle-east/...

Is it happening again?

They’ve invented a third class of people (well, person) who the law protects, does not bind, and can never be crossed or questioned

it's hard not to keep coming back to the fact that they could simply have Not Done This they could have not bombed Iran! the strait would be open! we wouldn't be staring down a massive global economic crisis! none of this had to happen!

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane: The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

Every day, I talk to earnest liberals who describe to me, in great detail, problems that have resulted from this ... but they won't name the cause! "Turns out, all the sudden the public is obsessed with trans girls trying to play sports." Oh? Any thoughts about why? Any at all? No? No thoughts?

“Someday military academies will teach Trump’s Glorious Iran War as a case study in armed incompetence.” @jvl.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/our-low-iq...

why aren't other countries helping us with the strait of hormuz after we started an unjust war, cut off trade, and insulted them for a year?

I work in tech! I am in danger! I’m not happy about this! but it is absolutely happening

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

This is monstrously fucked up and should be Streisand Effected to the greatest degree possible

Poor, poor Ukraine

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

I'm best known for making fun of Cabbage Patch Dolls on VH1 and I knew they were going to fucking close the strait.

“By the time we arrived, the entire school had collapsed on top of the children. People were pulling out children’s arms and legs. People were pulling out severed heads.”

NYT says it’s not a war crime because it lacked intentionality, but if you dismantle the processes to avoid the targeting of citizens, that sounds pretty intentional to me

If in the future there's an Iran-linked terrorist attack against the US, or if Iran get nuclear weapons, it will be Donald Trump's fault. But there will be immense social pressure against saying so, because while factually accurate, it'll be considered partisan, biased, and old news.

it is "what plainly is: a presidency in terminal decline, if not outright collapse." @jamellebouie.net 🎁⛓️‍💥 www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/o...

Watch this BBC interview if you want to understand how badly Trump screwed up and why Iran still holds a lot of cards.

Iran is likely thinking that they not only want to survive—which is practically a win for a relatively weaker power attacked by a stronger one—but also that they want to impose enough costs on enough parties that the US assault becomes a cautionary tale. Trump started something he can’t control.

Another hush money payment.

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
