Hard power losses in coming years, but soft power losses already apparent Trump admin has destroyed (among other assets) the main strategic advantage that USA had over China: allies

Will only be abuse (we know this from history)

The Pentagon is requesting the equivalent of $1,500 per American household to fund President Trump's unauthorized, unconstitutional, and unpopular war. Congress must say no.

Powell: "The thing a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is very very low level of job creation. If you adjust the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector"

The rise in U.S. diesel prices is now record-setting, according to GasBuddy: • Largest 2-week increase EVER (+$1.22/gal) • Largest 3-week increase EVER (+$1.33/gal) • Largest 4-week increase EVER (+$1.44/gal) Prices aren’t at record highs- but the speed of this surge is.

$200 BILLION for a war decided on a whim ? Congress shd say no + pass war powers resolution

“The Trump administration has bypassed regular procedures to award more than $13 million in contracts to the company that helped organize President Trump’s rally on Jan. 6, 2021, repeatedly creating hidden business opportunities that only one firm could win.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/u...

President Trump told reporters Monday that one of his predecessors told him he wished he had been the one to bomb Iran. It appears he did not speak to any of the four former presidents.

Hmmm…

EXCLUSIVE: Surveillance video obtained by an activist shows Liam Conejo Ramos and his father being taken to a detention center in Texas via a Delta Airlines flight, the morning after ICE allegedly used the boy as bait. gillianbrockell.com/video-proves...

Americans ask CEOs and Congress to stop supporting fascist policies…first

FAFO, as someone once said www.politico.eu/article/dona...

The most immoral + idiotic idea ever uttered

Duh

Hope is not a strategy nor a policy “Demand” ? Please. Let real diplomats do diplomacy (and real strategists do war…when it makes sense)

I grabbed this video last year when they were slaughtering #USAID, it was from the 50th anniversary. When we still did objectively good things to elevate the dignity of our fellow man. Bluesky couldn’t upload it then but can now. I watch it and have a good cry a few times a year. Don’t let it die.

The only issue here is.. why the whole goddamn Congress didn’t condemn this ! They’re supposed to be lawmakers

2/ CRISIS ONE: Trump believed Iran would not close the Strait of Hormuz. He was wrong. And now oil prices are spiking. If the Strait stays closed, a global recession will result. It actually may already be too late. Gas prices are the first to spike, but food prices are next.

In other words, having started something didn’t understand nor care about… Now wants a “team” of others to rescue our collective ass Trump single-handedly turning USA into another of his failed ventures

Hey SCOTUS — yr unitary executive theory has made a direct line to govt censorship Heckofa job y’all in the majority

“With all newspapers in Germany being told what to publish and how to write the news and editorials, it was inevitable that a deadly conformity would come over the nation’s press.” - William Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, p. 406

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."

Nothing but govt censorship (Well, also stupid)

NEW: A fundraising email from President Donald Trump’s political action committee has a provocative pitch: using an image from Saturday’s dignified transfer honoring six fallen US soldiers, it promises access to the president’s “private national security briefings.” www.cnn.com/2026/03/13/p...

😆🥹😂🥺😢

Nothing to see here, just the President of the United States selling his security briefings to donors. There’s no bottom.

Same reason the regime has gone after law firms + universities: to try to suppress and intimidate those who can legitimately critique the stupid and unlawful bull they’re hoping to get away with…

A Pentagon recruiter openly offers corruption: “unmatched access to top-level government officials and privileged information flow — whatever you need, you can get.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...

I legitimately don't understand how nobody was held responsible for this. Like, I legit couldn't imagine they just said. "Oh well, and put her outside, but it seems like...nobody is in trouble for this?" This was the most I could find for any follow-up. www.inforum.com/news/fargo/a...

Least surprising news of the week The cons + grift continue apace

Boar on the floor IYKYK

Only life losers would play at such a losing game. Fools Get a life Life is more than $$

Congress is allowing this immoral, unlawful clusterf@>£ to continue in our name They have the power to stop it but won’t Vote them ALL out of office

Declaring that no quarter will be given unequivocally violates international humanitarian law. Indeed, ordering that no quarter will be given, threatening an adversary therewith or conducting hostilities on this basis is prohibited and constitutes a war crime.

Small-minded, petty and war-mongering Describes the Trump administration well deflects poorly on the rest of us Founders would not be proud

The feds + state leaders colluding against the people’s interests is wrong in a democracy, whoever does it Congress shd make a law prohibiting #Gift link www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/u...

Total embarrassment These are not serious people

No shit Sherlock Maybe try supporting feminism and DEI (Stand up for women and minorities to make more equal opportunity for ALL)

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Impeach and convict a president for an unlawful war, and you’ll see fewer unlawful wars,” our columnist David French tells Emily Bazelon, a staff writer for The Times Magazine, in their conversation this week.

What the actual fuck is this ?!?!!!!! It’s unserious, practically a war crime how evil and wrong this cavalier take is on issues of very real life and death. Military professionals will be appalled and insulted Fire whoever did this and never let them have a govt job again

"U.S. officials called London insurers and brokers, trying to figure out how the market operates, industry insiders said." When applied to the current administration, I urge caution in using terms like "plans," "strategy," "policy," or "doctrine." www.wsj.com/finance/u-s-...

No wonder modern Republicans in Congress are afraid of their voters. We all shd be Republican Party is actively fostering + promoting legions of hate “In Trump’s Republican Party, Hitlerian language about immigrants and minorities has become routine.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/o...

Too much affirmative action…. said to a country that overcame Apartheid Amazing arrogance and bigotry. Embarrassing

You cannot tell voters (accurately) this is a fascist regime that is hell bent on destroying us - let alone rely on it (as Dems are) as your GOTV while also voting yourselves to enable the regime.

Congress must investigate and #AbolishICE

“…we can see what's happening in our society: that lots of professionals who spend years, or in Julia's case, decades, honing a skill or a trade, then see that their name or their skills are being appropriated by others without their consent.”

America’s CEOs aren’t acting in the interest of shareholders by staying silent about democracy and the rule of law, they’re acting out of fear. www.profgmedia.com/p/role-models
