ALERT: Professional news. Nine days after leaving CBS, I have found a new professional home: Chief Washington Correspondent and Anchor for @meidastouch.com

Market manipulation. The timing of Trump threats (usually Friday nights) then backing down (usually early Monday mornings) on war and tariffs tell you all you need to know.

“Bianco said the investigation had ‘absolutely nothing to do’ with his campaign for governor.” What horseshit. www.cnn.com/2026/03/22/u...

A 13-year-old girl tried to take her life by cutting her wrists with a plastic knife from the cafeteria after guards took away drawing materials, and was put into isolation without seeing a doctor. The teen was deported to Colombia after nearly two months in confinement

Reader, I sighed & then teared up. This is such massive help. $16 million helps 2,750 families cover rent through June. He’s trying to raise the other half. And the dude also delivered laundry during the siege.

the same number of troops have died in this war that died in the evacuation of afghanistan fyi, weird how the media has decided that isn’t a point to drive home this time

On this day in 1965, brave Americans began the march from Selma to Montgomery, risking everything for the right to vote. Their courage helped secure the Voting Rights Act and changed our nation forever. We honor their sacrifice and continue the fight for equal access to the ballot.

Whenever you see that tweet from Trump celebrating Mueller's death, just remember that Karen Attiah was fired for directly quoting Charlie Kirk

As a Marine platoon leader in Vietnam, Mueller was shot and later returned to lead his platoon after his recovery. He received a Bronze Star for valor, a Purple Heart, 2 Navy/Marine Commendation medals, Republican of Vietnam Cross of Valor, and numerous other medals.

the country is at war and the president is peacing out for another weekend at his private club in Florida that he'll spend with his paying customers

Far-right activist turned high-ranking FEMA official Gregg Phillips has a problem. Sometimes he finds himself “teleporting” into ditches, or even into a Waffle House.

#OnThisDay Mar 19 1880: The first bridge connecting Fort Snelling with St Paul over the Mississippi River opens, replacing an old ferry. This bridge was a rickety affair designed for horse and buggy, and got replaced in 1909 with a larger structure upon arrival of electric streetcar service.

FRENCH NATO GEN. YAKOVLEFF: “.. [Trump] wants to share the political risk, not the military risk. .. He’ll drop us the minute it suits him. .. This isn’t the time to buy a promo ticket on the Titanic.”

An Ohio-based company that initially balked at granting a mom's request to work from home during a high-risk pregnancy has been found liable for the newborn's death and ordered to pay $22.5 million in damages.

COHEN: The people you fired were experts on Iran, were they not? PATEL: I don't believe so COHEN: They worked in counterintelligence, did they not? PATEL: I'm taking you at your word COHEN: You're the director. I'm not. You should know the answer

Mohammad Paktiawal was a loving father who worked alongside our military to defend our freedoms. After his service, he sought asylum here in the U.S. He died in less than 24 hours in ICE custody. I am demanding answers for his death. This cannot be ignored. juliejohnson.house.gov/media/press-...

Nobel Peace Tweeting right here

Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

Joe Kent is not a squishy RINO. The dude is a diehard MAGA loyalist with his own extensive military experience. Not only is he publicly resigning in protest, he is trying to pin this all on Israel (as if Trump is not a grown man). The anti-Semitic rhetoric coming out of MAGA is going to peak.

I used to think a rapist, a felon or a bigot can’t be president. Clearly I was wrong.

NEWS: Six months before the Trump admin began bombing Iran, the Department of State fired its oil and gas experts. State’s energy division got completely DOGE’d. And with it went the people who knew how to plan for a global energy crisis.

“I think what ICE is doing is the worst thing America has probably done since the internment camps during World War II.” One of the nation's top "justice facility" architecture firms will no longer work on ICE detention centers or deportation facilities after its employees staged a revolt.

Yes, I am leaning channel 5, and we will be leaving the Twin Cities at the end of the month. Thank you, fellow local internet weirdos on Bluesky. Some of the connections on here will be the ones I miss the most.

These are the things that have historically led to revolutions. Not sustainable.

I just...........

With a superior military we are blessed that casualties are minimal, and it’s rare to lose an aircrew. But when you do it cuts deep and hurts…. Especially as a former aircrew member. Today we honor the 6 who lost their lives in Iraq. Nickel in the grass brothers and sisters.

6 U.S. crew members killed in refueling plane crash in Iraq are identified

Son of Turning Point pastor gets caught exploiting children and possessing kiddie porn. They make a lot of noise about Trans people, but it's the fake christians who are the real predators and their protectors. Someone search Erika Kirk's hard drives. indianacitizen.org/sentenced-so...

My God.

Content Bookstore in Northfield had planned to hold a talk on a book about surviving a blizzard on Sunday. Then, an actual blizzard was forecast to hit the region. Get the latest updates on the winter storm: bit.ly/46WI81p 📷️ Blackstone Publishing/TNS

Brendan Carr gaslighting journalists and threatening news orgs doing their job covering Trump’s war—claiming they “must operate in the public interest”? What a disgrace this man is as he backs a demand for propaganda. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/w...

4/ What about naval escorts for tankers? This is a possibility, but it’s harder than you think. First, it would require our entire navy. 100 tankers need escorting each day. Second, if we can’t destroy the mines and drones, our ships are at risk too.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Haitian woman, 31, dies alone at Pittsburgh bus stop days after ICE released her to the streets far from home to perish. Rest in power, Daphy Michel: migrantinsider.com/p/the-loneso...

Trump is making the people who bought TikTok pay him a 10 billion finder's fee. This is Trump specifically using the Presidency for self-profit. Where are the Burisma people now? www.rawstory.com/trump-tiktok...

2,500 jarheads headed for the Middle East per @wsj.com

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

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

French soldier killed and several wounded in attack in Iraq's Kurdistan region, confirms Macron

Extremely funny that one of the last things this guy, Tim LaCroix, did was vote to keep flying the old shitty state flag before getting charged with multiple felony tax evasion charges. Republicans!

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

For every one of these profiles that makes the news, so many thousands more suffering in silence.

When Iranian news is more honest than American news, if a bit repetitive.
