WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it. Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

Not that we didn’t suspect this, but now we have a hard evidence of betrayal.

If this is where the US ends up, the Trump administration is waving the white flag. Nothing about Iranian nukes, nothing about keeping the Strait open and free, nothing about regime change. A strategic waste and failure of historic proportions.

❗🔥 The 13-year-old girl who made allegations of abuse by Trump has corroborated many facts about people, places & other abuse that are in the #Epstein files — & lend to her overall credibility. After all, the FBI interviewed her 4x. Deep dive: 🧾 www.postandcourier.com/news/hilton-...

Just posted a round up of #NoKings photos from @hopiumchronicles.bsky.social community members from across the US and around the world. Enjoy all and thanks to all of you who made this inspiring day possible! www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/no-kings-p...

"A White House spokeswoman called the protests 'Trump derangement therapy sessions.'" The people I met at No Kings were sane and well-adjusted. The people suffering from Trump derangement syndrome are those who work for him, who bow to him, who slavishly praise him. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/28/u...

The message of the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee is that right now, Trump has no good options when it comes to Iran...

Man tar med seg de små gledene man kan.

Iran's military is fundamentally unimpressive, yet they backed Trump into a corner. The reason is asymmetry of stakes: this is an existential fight for them, but a war of choice for the US. Mix an enemy with nothing to lose and Trump's planning, and you get a catastrophe

Hi! Your friendly neighborhood 82nd Airborne vet here to tell you 1,000 paratroopers is a command group+advance party and it makes no sense to send this element unless the plan is to send a fuck ton more ground troops relatively soon!

Markets Surge After Trump Claims He Had Sex With An Angel https://theonion.com/markets-surge-after-trump-claims-he-had-sex-with-an-angel/

The most honest and accurate description I have ever read about Trump. And of course it came from an historian and not a journalist. I wish every journalist quoting Trump would hang this on their computer screen. Preferably in the middle of it.

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll She was born on March 20th, 1915

New piece. The US campaign against Iran has revealed one major story which people are not acknowledging. For reasons of both internal US weakness and technological development, the US is showing it has almost no chance in a war against China in the Western Pacific. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

I'd suggest that a big reason the world is currently so volatile is that Republicans keep handing Trump money to wreck things

Turns out the fog of war might have a silver lining. Gift article: giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

From the gang that couldn't spell strait:

This conversation with Bob Kagan is I think very much worth your time. Bob steps back and lays out the geopolitical consequences of the war, in the Middle East, Europe, and the Pacific—and analyzes the choice, the fork in the road—TACO or all-in—that Trump now faces. www.youtube.com/live/WqNVsah...

Latest post assesses current state of the war. Looks at the state of American decision-making, how it was caught out by Iranian response, the difficulty reopening Strait of Hormuz, and why hardliners in Iran may make it difficult to get a ceasefire. (£/free trial) samf.substack.com/p/the-split-...

Interesting perspectives from Vali Nasr here giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

You won’t find a sharper analysis anywhere of how Iranian leaders will be thinking about their interests and options at this stage of the war, and of how/when it is likely to end. Simon Gass really knows what he’s talking about. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

The Bush administration made a series of catastrophic mistakes in its war planning, many of which involved overriding experts. The Trump administration just skipped the whole "planning" part, it seems.

We must unite for European defence.  We need defragmentation, consolidation, and scale.  And we need to have more experience of success in developing pan-European defence projects. #DefenceReadiness 🇪🇺 @europarl.europa.eu debate ⬇️ ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

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:

Please check out this video I made 8 months ago about how #Iran can threaten the Straits of Hormuz Some of their tools are gone or at least degraded. But the content hopefully remains relevant today We are in such a mess youtu.be/VTly35T4fz0?...

The data economy has made us dumber in ways that also make us vulnerable to authoritarian takover. We are have become both cynical and gullible in the sense we think we are too jaded be fooled and as a result are tricked more easily www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Have Vance and Trump said thank you?

Be sure to watch the 60 Minutes segment. It's infuriating.

“The fascination of shooting as a sport depends almost wholly on whether you are at the right or wrong end of the gun.” - P G Wodehouse

I’m sorry a WHAT?

Trump believes in the great powers-spheres of influence theory of international relations in which America’s great power and sphere of influence should extend anywhere he can distract from his domestic failures or enrich himself, ideally both—cost, risk, law and US interests be damned.

This email was forwarded within the FBI. The person who forwarded it wrote "FYSA" — for your situational awareness. The original email is also an internal FBI email. It should be in the Epstein files. But searches for the subject line and phrases within that email turn up—you guessed it!—nothing

Det skulle ikke forundre meg om noe av motivasjonen for å bygge opp til et angrep mot Iran er å shorte bl. a. oljeaksjer for å håve inn enorme beløp. Den gjengen der eier ikke et gram skam i livet...

Freud must discuss this somewhere: The compulsion of the guilty to almost confess or to hint at the truth. Trump does this a lot. And in light of all the Epstein news, when Trump says “Women—I like,” he’s unable to help himself from kind of confessing and admitting to his complicity with Epstein.

Politikerne i Troms har snudd i EU-synet. Det tradisjonelle nei-fylket har blitt for medlemskap! Kanskje ikke så rart med tanke på den utsatte posisjonen i nord og den geopolitiske situasjonen.

Free piece just released. Marco Rubio called on tolerant, democratic, liberal Europe to destroy itself and embrace a Trump-like future. He received a standing ovation and we are told some people are reassured. If so, Europe will deserve everything coming its way. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

The Trump administration is literally going to kill its supporters, and still they cheer the circus.

This is more funny than the author knows because ”to be out and biking” is a Swedish idiom meaning that you’ve totally misunderstood something. Apart from the catchy headline, many very good points in the text by Stephen M. Walt. Worth your while.

Bare det at Nobelkomiteens medlemmer tar imot gaver som privatpersoner er jo ekstremt undergravende for tilliten. Alle evt. gaver som gis bør tilfalle instituttet, og være gjenstand for full åpenhet. Dette er uakseptabelt, og alle tre må svare.
