Maddow: How is Jared Kushner's role in the U.S. attacking Iran not more of a show-stopping scandal?

Our government is run by extremely serious and sober people.

Portland pothole artists are seriously my favorite people. If you know one or are one and would be willing to talk about your craft, please DM

we are going to win

My sources say it was former president John Barron

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

President Trump told reporters Monday that one of his predecessors told him he wished he had been the one to bomb Iran. It appears he did not speak to any of the four former presidents.

My kid asked me about my job in advertising back in the day and she asked if I wrote songs for commercials and it got my wife and me on to a nostalgic trip. Anyway. By FAR the gum ads had the best jingles. Like all of them were fire. Here's a tiny thread. Juicy Fruit WHUPPED BATMANS ASS with this

Oh god it was a ghost wasn’t it

You proved he lied, Peter. Just go ahead and say it.

I’m so old I remember that the Ras Baraka/LaMonica McIver incident started when a city objected to a facility in their locality. Now it’s happening everywhere.

The ability to buy anything on account of having too much money wrecks a person's brain just like a zero-gravity environment destroys muscle mass and bone density. Human bodies are designed for resistance and they liquefy rapidly without it.

Elon Musk is acting like “talking about your feelings” is weak and unnecessary while he simultaneously uses his account with 230 million followers on the platform he owns to post about his feelings like a 14 year old emo kid on MySpace in 2009

Bring on the prosecutions! www.cbsnews.com/news/gregory...

RFK Jr. fired all of the legitimate scientific experts on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and replaced them with unqualified political appointees. A judge just ruled that the new members were not appropriately appointed, so ACIP cannot meet this week to spread more misinformation.

Never forget who is really winning this war. www.ft.com/content/37d4...

Ummmmm wow

Gonna hold on to this croissant metaphor for the rest of my creative life

Trump found a new way to raise prices. For no apparently reason we're losing 200,000 commercial truck drivers in one fell swoop, thanks to rule barring immigrants who are asylum seekers, refugees or recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, from obtaining commercial licenses

"I meant for this to happen", says Florida man as he repeatedly steps on rakes "I saw this coming", he continues, as he makes a beeline directly for the next rake "This was always the plan", he finishes as he places another rake directly in his own path

Oops. Donald just accidentally revealed that GOP Rep. Neal Dunn will be dead by June. Mike Johnson jumped in to say that wasn't public information.

This is getting genuinely pathetic

Hey everyone remember this tweet from a week ago? Tell me again how this is going exactly as planned?

Starmer: "We will not be drawn into the wider war ... we cannot allow the war in the Gulf to turn into a windfall for Putin"

It's gonna be a big one. As of today, it's still 12 days until the next No Kings Day on Saturday March 28, but organizers say there are already nearly 3000 separate protests planned in the US:

Breast cancer mortality dropped 58% from 1975 to 2019. Localized, early detected breast cancer has a 99% 5 year survival rate. Modern mammogram tech was developed by NASA for telescopes. Last year, RFK Jr. cancelled 87 research grants on breast cancer. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/u...

I'm sure there are some women working at Palantir, though likely not in any position of power, and I hope they're taking notes every time Karp says something wildly misogynistic. He's a walking discrimination lawsuit. newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

Inadvertently makes a case here for why we need to keep the humanities in school

In retrospect it totally tracks why a guy who has no friends wouldn’t get why you need allies

I wrote about Kat.

It was revealed last week that Trump got a $10 billion bribe for helping steal TikTok and give it to his right wing billionaire friends under the pretense of national security and it barely enjoyed a two hour news cycle

I personally think a future Dem Congress should create a subcommittee solely dedicated to making this guys life a living hell

Greg Bovino won’t just get to walk away — he will be held accountable and responsible for the damage he's done to our nation. We won’t forget, and neither should you. No one is above the law.

bye, bitch

I watched the #Oscars at a bar in Brooklyn last night and the entire place spontaneously applauded when Michael B. Jordan won Best Actor. An unforgettable moment. #FilmSky

⚡️ 'True friend' — Sean Penn misses Oscars to visit Ukraine, meets Zelensky in Kyiv. "Sean, thanks to you, we know what a true friend of Ukraine is," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

“.. Europe’s three biggest military powers all said on Monday that they did not want to be drawn into direct conflict .. @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/ab86...

Moscow stands to gain from higher energy prices and the diversion of air-defences to the Middle East. EU Foreign Ministers were clear that Ukraine remains Europe’s top security priority. Attention for Ukraine will not be allowed to fizzle out. Extract from my press conference ↓

Was hearing a weird amount of pop culture critics throwing shade on Sinners this past week, but I have to say, after hearing Ryan Coogler lifting up educators & saying he's honoured by professors who might teach his work, if you still don't understand why people dig this man, you're choosing not to.

* UK PM STARMER: STRAIT OF HORMUZ WON'T BE A NATO MISSION @reuters.com

Oscar well deserved

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

Someone needs to send an ambulance to X

I keep squinting at the news uncertain whether US Navy is, much like Europe, telling the Trump administration to go fuck itself.

Oh my God. What an absolute fiasco

TRANSLATION: TRUMP OWNS THIS SHIT.

This whole administration continues to be an object lesson in the catastrophic folly of letting unserious people have authority over serious things
