Zelenskyy: "Putin never wanted to stop the war. America has to make big pressure on Putin or he will not negotiate. Of course the situation in Iran gives him more money, and the process of taking off the sanctions also is helpful for him. It gives him more assurance that he can continue the war."

Imagine that everything he promised his base turning out to be a lie. Shocking. Just shocking.

“Did 🇮🇷 ask for a ceasefire (as Trump claims)?” IRAN FM: “No. We’re ready to defend ourselves. It’s an illegal war with no victory Trump’s doing for fun.” “But you’re fighting for survival. Don’t you have to negotiate?” IRAN FM: “No. We’re stable. We WERE negotiating and they attacked us.”

Best friends forever

Read this headline. Now read it again. Now read it again. You are not alarmed enough. It is later than you think. 🇺🇸 deadline.com/2026/03/trum...

😕🤷🏼

Brendan Carr is threatening the media to cover the war the way the Trump regime wants. It’s one of the most anti-American messages ever posted by a government official. 1/

2 headlines from this week

Democratic House Rep. Ted Lieu to Trump’s FCC Chair Brendan Carr: “Take your fascist shit and shove it.” 🔥

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. He's using the presidency to line his own pockets. This is why we need to make sure that on March 28 — two weeks from today— we march across America in the largest demonstration in the nation’s history. NoKings.org

I’m telling y’all we could use more of that energy on this side of the pond. Decorum doesn’t work with Republicans who are steamrolling norms and daring Dems to fight back. 📌 Australian Greens Senator Nick McKim accuses his own government of “complicity” in what he calls an “illegal US-led war.”

In a 2020 FBI document of the Epstein files, a confidential human source (CHS) alleged that Jeffrey Epstein was a co-opted Mossad agent trained as a spy by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. 🧵

In an email to Jeffrey Epstein in the files: “There is, of course, one other alternative: another Middle East War. The United States could try to eliminate Iran's nuclear capacity with a military attack. But as many military experts have attested, airstrikes will not be enough… 🧵

Any minute now, they’ll tell us that worrying about gas prices and inflation is woke.

Hegseth spent the years before he was made Secretary of Defense defending convicted war criminals on the theory that virtually nothing is a war crime. Trump chose him to be the civilian head of DoD *so that he would order war crimes committed*. Everything he's doing is what he was appointed to do.

Corporate media like the Washington Post see their subscribers as consumers. Democracy Docket sees them as a part of a pro-democracy community. Subscribing to DD is always free. Membership is $10mo. No algorithms. No games. Just the info you need. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Yes—you're reading this NYT report right: Israel shrieked at Lebanese civilians (including women, kids, and the elderly) to "FLEE FOR YOUR LIVES!", Denethor-style, then... ...bombed the bridge they needed to use to flee. This war is evil. Those launched it are evil. No good person fails to see it.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

1/ If you want to predict where Trump world goes next, stop guessing and start pattern matching. Hungary and El Salvador show the end state. Ecuador and Argentina show the fast track. Same moves: emergency politics, weaker checks, richer insiders. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Did Trump and Vance say thank you?

Incredible! Dont ever think your vote doesn't count

A win! A federal judge in Rhode Island has directed the government to reinstate a union contract covering more than 300,000 Veterans Affairs employees after the Trump administration attempted to end the agreement in August.

Iran’s Foreign Minister on Trump temporarily loosening sanctions against Russia

Attorney General Bondi thinks she can play hide-and-go-seek with the Epstein Files, but the law is clear and mandatory. She must release the Files in their entirety so we can end this massive coverup and elite protection for predators.

UPDATE: Sen. charlane oliver (D) unleashes on Rep. Bo Mitchell (D) after he didn’t give Rep. Aftyn Behn (D) a 2nd for their “Homes not Hedge Funds” housing bill to be heard — killing it in the house after it had passed the senate 31-1. Her post: www.facebook.com/share/p/1HZW...

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

If you missed a flight because of long TSA lines at the airport, then blame Republican Senator Katie Britt for blocking a bill to fund TSA.

EXCLUSIVE: A dark money group is offering influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate @katmabu.bsky.social www.ms.now/news/kat-abu...

Wearing my WOKE hat to attack the most progressive candidate in a Congressional race.

How is this okay?

the contrast between Whitaker's comments here and the B roll of bombings is pretty jarring

We should all be very afraid of what this idiot president is willing to do to save his polling numbers, with the understanding that he was dumb and dangerous enough to start the war without realizing Iran would close the Strait. END/

Yesterday was a tragic day for America and our Air Force. I flew the KC-135 for just two years at the start of my Air Force career, but this one still hits close to home. Keep our military in your prayers. Link to full video: open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The genius businessman strikes again

Better headline: Republicans refuse to fund FEMA, TSA and CISA during their DHS shutdown.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle. "That's just how it is."

I don’t think it’s appropriate for a country bombing indiscriminately and throwing people in camps, to host the World Cup.

"This fault lies directly on Trump and Hegseth" -- Sen. Andy Kim points out that the Trump administration gutted the budget for the DoD's "civilian protection center," which could've helped Hegseth and company not bomb an elementary school in Iran

If you can afford it, you MUST get a paid subscription of Public Notice. If you cannot afford it, subscribe, read & share the heck out of Public Notice & Aaron's clips. He keeps social media bearable & graspable for all of us. He puts in the time so we stay informed.

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

🎯

“Precision?” They. Bombed. School. Kids.

Meanwhile, Trump spent the day in Kentucky campaigning against the guy who got the Epstein files released.

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

Joint venture between #VA & #DoJ is protecting #veterans’ rights by ….. working to take them away. The idea that the federal gov’t needs to get involved in these proceedings is absurd. Local medical centers are already navigating these challenging situations.

Trump says the decision to bomb Iran came after advice from Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff and Pete Hegseth. Who takes advice about starting a war from 2 real estate developers and a drunk former TV co-host? #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

It doesn’t seem like Trump gamed this out very well ahead of time.
