The inevitable result of this would be the creation of a permanent underclass of exploitable people, who grew up in this country, know no other, and have no education so are more vulnerable than ever before; a serf class for the rich and powerful.

Dr. Gill I was wondering what your thoughts are about the news of USA 🇺🇸 being insolvent? 6 trillion in assets and 47 trillion in debt and no one is talking about it. Why? fortune.com/2026/03/23/u...

It was always clear that Harmeet Dhillon wanted to end DOJ's Civil Rights Division as it had previously existed. This story of the types of lawyers now joining the Civil Rights Division shows just how completely upended it all is.

Yep. Since November, hundreds of thousands of people have had their applications simply put on total pause; no movement whatsoever. Even though they paid thousands of dollars to the government to adjudicate their cases.

NEW: Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), a leading champion of the SAVE America Act, repeatedly rejected concerns that the bill would impose voter registration barriers for millions. But privately, he admitted it would pose hurdles for married women and those who’ve changed their legal name.

In our digital climate, headlines like this bloom every year like bluebonnets on the Texas prairie, drawing ooohs and aaahs for a few days from people who care about these things, before dying off until next year when they bloom again.

A woman trying to make it to Florida for her grandmother's funeral, along with other Houston travelers, discussed their plight amidst a security line logjam at Bush Airport.

NEW: This Louisiana prosecutor... • Was forced to resign from the DA’s office for submitting false paperwork. • Withheld evidence in at least 3 death row cases. • Compared a Black teen to a dog & told the jury to “get rid of it.” Now he’s running for judge. With @veritenews.org

Exactly 5 minutes BEFORE Trump announced a 5-day delay in bombing Iranian power plants, someone purchased $1.5 billion worth of S&P futures in a single trade. Someone also sold $192 million in oil futures. Trump and/or his cronies are engaging in market manipulation and insider trading.

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Under DHS’ use-of-force policy, moves that cut off a person's breathing “must not be used as a means to control non-compliant subjects or persons resisting arrest.” But videos we reviewed showed agents using these restraints to do just that. (Published Jan. 2026)

Whew...got a bit tight on ERCOT tonight. 🔌💡

The investigation into the deadly collision between a plane and fire truck at LaGuardia was initially slowed because the specialists traveling to New York were delayed by long security lines at other airports. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

The question that broke America fundamentally was ‘do all people deserve basic rights?’ This question was too hard for us. Too hard for our leadership. It still is. So now all of our rights are in jeopardy.

Gas prices are crazy. You should invest in a solar powered lawn mower.

justice alito talmbout it "seriously undermines" voter confidence when a "big stash" of mail ballots arrives and changes the "apparent outcome" sir do you mean when all the votes are counted? bc it sounds like you're just describing when all the votes are counted

the latest in a series of big payoffs that sure seem to lead back to trump white house insiders...

A 3-foot-wide meteor weighing about a ton broke through the Earth’s atmosphere and exploded above Houston with the force of 26 tons of TNT. Experts say they’re not so uncommon — and insurance typically covers damage from meteorites.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

The Trump administration's unprecedented expansion of migrant detention facilities is igniting fierce opposition in communities across the political and geographic spectrum as the administration moves to scale up its detention footprint.

“The U.S. Dep’t. of Agriculture announced this week that it will stop funding wind & solar energy on American farmland, a move that continues the Trump administration’s attempts to kill incentives for renewables while it boosts support for fossil fuels & land-hungry, energy inefficient biofuels…” 🔌💡

Ah, the Fifth Circuit: yet again, with no small thanks to the partisan Republican majority at SCOTUS, it’s where liberty goes to die.

The real story… under any other president this would be jail time…

Strange situation where we await a statement from Iran to check whether there's any truth to what US president is saying.

again I point out how strange it is that high-level diplomatic negotiations of war and peace are being conducted by freelancers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have egregious conflicts of interest, and not the actual secretary of state

Earth is out of balance, a UN report found. The continued burning of fossil fuels is locking heat in Earth’s atmosphere, oceans and land — instead of allowing it to reflect back into space.

Can not wait for the DEMs to take both houses in Nov 26 and then take the POTUS position in Nov 28. Then we begin on the road back to civility.
