Trump has certainly mastered how to feed reporters bullshit who dutifully pass it along uncritically since showing an ability to get him to take their calls apparently demonstrates clout and outweighs other considerations such as accuracy and truthfulness. bsky.app/profile/atru...

A senior Iranian official says vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz will still be required to pay tolls to the IRGC

Full circle moment: President Biden returns to Syracuse to unveil his official portrait. From law student to President—now immortalized in his portrait, and cracking jokes about the Syracuse University Board of Trustees Chairman.

“Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime…” best late Trump line yet.

In decisive challenge to Iran, US takes over Gulf blockade

It's sort of a nice touch after JD has been leaking to every news outlet that this was 100% wasn't his idea that they're making him own it in Pakistan. 👨‍🍳💋

Heartbreaking and disgusting. This should cost him more than a political career. What is described here are crimes.

CNN follows SF Chronicle's reporting on Swalwell with their own exclusive:

Stunning reporting here that shows U.S. troops were left exposed in a known target zone with virtually no drone defenses. Now the soldiers themselves are calling out the Pentagon’s version of events as false. Hegseth and Trump keep lying to the American people about this war.

This is a roster of names of the many, many people George Washington owned.

I will set aside as a given Trumps rage filled threats of war crimes. He’s careening from one day to the next from Strait doesn’t matter, not r problem, will open itself to rage tweets demanding it else and then not following through on those threats. These are the actions of someone ….

The night Geno Auriemma snapped — and Dawn Staley showed the game has changed www.nytimes.com/athletic/717...

1. Trump's gets elected on A,B & C 2. Starts governing with pretty unpopular X, Y and Z 3. Finds toady to militantly implement X, Y or Z 4. X, Y and Z predictably make Trump super unpopular 5. Trump fires militant toady for failing him 6. Rinse 7. Repeat

I keep waiting for a reporter to post: “Just got off the phone with President Trump. He didn’t really say anything new so I have nothing to report.”

The guys always been a cheap gutter degenerate

Trump Casts His Drama-of-the-Day Spell While the World Moves On talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

I was pretty confident this was the case. Nice to see confirmation.

Iran Has Trump Over a (Oil) Barrel. Sad. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/iran-...

AND THATS ENOUGH INTERNET FOR THE DA—ECADE 😳

If trump says there were productive talks, that means there were either very unproductive talks, or zero talks. Thanks for coming to my talks.

Seems like the elites in UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi, etc had it pretty good heading into 2025. Economies and tourism booming, construction and infrastructure projects everywhere, economic diversification. Then they went all in with Trump and are finding out what that’s like.

Spokesperson of the Iran Ministry of Oil: "At present, Iran essentially has no crude oil left floating on water or surplus for supply in other international markets, and the statement by the US Treasury Secretary is merely aimed at giving hope to buyers and psychologically controlling the market."

This is a capsule version of how the whole admin works. Not just the corruption. But you kind of have to remain in charge because if you don't you lose your immunity.

By the way, eff César Chávez.

Rand Paul confronts Markwayne Mullin at his confirmation hearing to replace Kristi Noem about his history of advocating for violence to resolve political differences, including caning, fistfights, biting, dueling, and punching people in the face.

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.

Why does Trump need allies to help him in a war he’s already won?

He is begging like a dog, one might say. This war and Trump’s alienation of our allies may go down as among the greatest foreign policy failures of any presidency in history.

Corruption. Soliciting cash on the backs of the power built and created by the American people www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/b...

The fragile insecure flower is crying again.

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed. Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

Trump Now MoonWalking Away From Regime Change As Fast As He Can talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

He went from “unconditional surrender” and “I must pick their new leader” to full “just declare victory and get the hell out” TACO Trump.
