Nate Cavanaugh has gone viral recently for his taped deposition about DOGE eliminating "DEI" grants. He's also a key figure in our story from last year. We found that he helped expose a sensitive Afghanistan program, leading to a brutal Taliban crackdown.

You're welcome for the donations but I'm not sorry to be doing it less often going forward, thx. news.mongabay.com/short-articl...

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

wait, fuck, this is gorillaz

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

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.

Imagine having so much swag that your death causes a bad bitch succession crisis

I wrote about Kat.

As I've posted, it's baffling the confidence with which establishment finance and political types dismiss me when I've expressed concern about the dollar being replaced as the global reserve currency. People lack imagination I guess. But maybe not the Iranians: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-war-de...

Weird because they got rid of all the dei hires right? It couldn’t be that anti dei politics was simply white identity politics intended to preserve racial and gender hierarchy regardless of merit bsky.app/profile/swin...

Iran war threatens global helium supply Attacks on Qatar and the Strait of Hormuz remove one-third of the world’s helium from the market.

Imagine a bird crashing thru the windscreen of your airplane, taking out your left eye. Then somehow turning your head to deflect the blood in the roaring wind & safely land. My friend Syd Burrows. After the accident he changed his callsign to Cyclops. He passed away today at 95. Ad Astra, Syd.

+ the 74 million Americans who thought it would great to turn the world’s wealthiest country over to them to stick it to the liberals and hasten the apocalypse.

I think this is much, much more true than anyone would like to admit, and it explains why Florsheim shoes occupy so much attention despite being intrinsically silly.

Today I received a note from a grad student who lives in Tehran. Her note gives you firsthand experience of what it’s like to live in a city that is being bombed, and what it’s like to be young and feel despair about your future. rezashadmehr.blogspot.com/2026/03/hope...

Dude. We lost a federal job. So I am building a small firm and 1/3 of my work is going to be making abusive HOA Boards miserable. Finding your local, little Trump is definitely a lane.

Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction. Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

I had not previously seen this and I love it

This clip from @atrupar.com reminded me of this post by @radleybalko.bsky.social, quoting Alexander Solzhenitsyn in "The Gulag Archipelago" radleybalko.substack.com/p/clapping-f...

fun fact about π is for all the infinite digit precision, 3.141592653589793238 is sufficient to calculate the diameter of the sun in kilometers to the nearest proton

I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

The political culture of the contemporary GOP is indistinguishable from that of the school shooter community

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

Adam, why did you delete this?

I feel like Uvalde was somehow a microcosm of the whole current state of the world. 1/

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

As a point of comparison, the US spent $21 billion in FY 2022 to feed billions of breakfasts and lunches to kids in schools across our whole country for an entire year under the universal school meals program that was later discontinued.

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children. This is learned today: Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%. www.npr.org/2026/03/11/n...

If any news outlets are covering this and want to talk to a trans Genomics PhD who specialized in human genetics and the evolution of sex, please reach out to me This is complete nonsense scientifically. It's fascist eugenics, not biology Setting a horrifying precedent for genocide

One of my favorite parts of this whole thing is that it implies Rubio lied about his shoe size.

What if we rename it the Strait of America. Then it becomes ours

"that ain't it, big dog"

24 hours later -- not a peep out of any House Republican leaders or any Republicans in Congress or the Tennessee GOP at all about this. I go no responses from anyone I reached out to. Guess they're all fine with comments like this!

Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

"Jews don't belong in American society." Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America. But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

There is no good acronym for "Bank of America." Apparently the bank discourages the use of "BOA" because of the murderous squeezing implications, but every time I see "BOFA" I have to double check to be sure it's not a joke. "BOFA Executive Grabahan Sugondese Decries Plummeting LIGMA Index"

i hate this stupid fucking system more than anything in the world. a system that benefits nobody, actively harms everybody, could be changed at literally any point in time, YET WE STILL KEEP DOING THIS MADNESS ANYWAY. YEAR AFTER YEAR WE DO THIS STUPID SONG AND DANCE FOR NO GOD DAMN REASON

Fox ran older footage but labeled it as happening Saturday.
