US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war: report

4 days ago, NPR reported that the Trump administration is still withholding, in violation of the Epstein files statutes, 37 pages of documents that implicate him in the rape of a child. This should end his presidency. www.npr.org/2026/03/05/n...

Nadia Schadlow, Trump’s former Deputy National Security Adviser, hasn’t read the Constitution

How Israel affected his family: “His father, Ayatollah Khamenei, was killed in Israeli airstrikes on a leadership compound on Feb. 28. The new supreme leader’s mother, wife and a son as well as several top Iranian defense officials were also killed in that attack.”

Yes it was. A lot of Latino radio was bought up by Right Wingers. Not just talk radio. Music radio, with Right Wing talking points interspersed with the music. Propaganda works in both Spanish & English.

The Life of Stalin version has them wearing the shoes at Trump's funeral, when they finally admit he's dead.

Los Angeles and Seattle just lost 33% of their scheduled World Cup games

For non lawyers, the necessity of completing service of a complaint is one of THE most fundamental lessons taught in beginning civil procedure class. Trump DOJ failing to complete service ⤵️ is like a Michelin chef not knowing you have to crack an egg before you can make an omelette. 🤦‍♀️

Of special note is Whitfield County, a 35% Hispanic county that voted for Trump by over 40% in 2024, YET went to the Democrat Harris by just over 5% in the first round. Link to results: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Pretty big overperformance for Democrat Shawn Harris in GA-14 (MTG's old district), where he got 37.3% of the vote, and actually is in first place. Although he's very unlikely to win since it's going to go to a run-off, it's a good sign for Democrats in GA. (1/2)

NEW: Before the Iran War, Trump ignored warnings that Iran could retaliate across the region and stop oil shipments. Now, with energy markets in chaos, some aides are pessimistic about the lack of a strategy to end the war. But they haven't told Trump. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

Sane-washing has consequences, eh NYT?

there was a new study published *today* in Nature showing that state-level anti-trans laws increase suicide among trans kids up to 72%. when we say that the New York Times (and other rags of equal repute) is killing us, that's because *IT IS LITERALLY KILLING US*

Men will be nominated by both Ds and Rs in all 4 MS congressional primaries today, a clean 8 for 8 for the males—in fact, all 15 candidates in those 8 primaries are men.

people just insist on believing that trump has something approaching cognition. he believes his own lies! he resolutely refuses to accept information that contradicts what he wants to be true. he knows nothing. less than nothing!

This race isn’t over. Northwest Georgia showed up in a BIG way, and now we head to a runoff. Momentum is real. The coalition is growing. Let’s finish what we started. On to the runoff. #GA14

The triangle is Trump / Epstein / Russia. 😳👇

Lyndon Johnson was a billion times the politician than Trump could ever be, and still marched American into the Vietnam tragedy. The Trump regime has fucked up historically in a fraction of the time.

Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.

The internet erupted Tuesday after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt snapped at CBS correspondent Nancy Cordes and insisted President Donald Trump wasn't "making anything up" when it came to the ongoing war with Iran.

I’m an oil trader. This is a buy signal.

Mangled missile fragments purporting to be from the deadly strikes that hit a naval base and elementary school in southern Iran on Feb. 28 bear the markings of an American cruise missile, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

Forensic accountability hits different when it's missile fragments from a school. They'll pivot to "unverified sources" in 3, 2...

Judge says Trump tariffs must be refunded.

I’ll be on NewsNation in about 10 minutes calling out Lindsey Graham and this gang of old men who want to send our kids to die in another illegal war. Tune in if you can.

not only is this war likely a crime against international law, but it is also extremely extremely strategically stupid. at no point has anyone actually put forth any strategic aims that they've not walked back in the next day

The strategic aim was nice video for their social media and that's all lol

Justice Dept. official and Trump ally Ed Martin is facing disciplinary proceedings over a letter he sent to Georgetown Law asserting that his then-office would not hire anyone affiliated with the university because of its apparent DEI practices.

"If your kid was in the armed services and you watched Pete Hegseth doing his WAR! schtick, what would you think? If it was me, I’d be sick to my stomach seeing that my child’s life was in the hands of a man with low character and lower intelligence."

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open. Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

i am being absolutely serious here: CENTCOM had one job and it was literally to prepare for an Iran contingency

The military Hegseth is in charge of was standing in line at food banks to feed their families during the SNAP crisis, while Hegseth was spending 9 million dollars on crab legs. A total of 93 billion is estimated to have been blown by Hegseth. That’s an entire year’s worth of ALL SNAP benefits.

Iran has turned to "shadow tankers" (aging, uninsured vessels, registered in countries with no regulatory enforcement) to move oil through one of the world's most critical shipping routes.

You don't know anyone as stupid as the National Command Authority. You just don't.

the long-suffering Judge Matthew Brann has issued a ruling invalidating the "triumvirate" system developed by DOJ to govern the US Attorney's Office for the District of NJ following Alina Habba's departure: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
