Turns out Russia, Russia, Russia was worse than we thought

❗️A wave of US Democrats call for removing Trump via impeachment or the 25th Amendment over his threats toward Iran ahead of a critical deadline. Lawmakers describe the statements as dangerous, while the White House dismisses the criticism and defends the president. #US

Cartoon by @deadder.bsky.social.

A Black female combat engineer who served in Iraq and Afghanistan was blocked from Arlington because Trump didn't want to stand next to her. NBC calls it breaking news. James Baldwin called it Tuesday and every Tuesday before that since 1619.

Just straight up giving up copywriting the lower third in primetime now, huh?

It is thrilling to see our trek to space begin again in my lifetime.

Two brilliant civil rights lawyers - one Asian American; one Black American. Both women. @aclu.org’s Cecellia Wang & @legaldefensefund.bsky.social’s @janainelson.bsky.social. They argued two of the most consequential cases in SCOTUS this year. This embrace is one of my favorite moments of the day.

This is an excellent summary of current circumstances Kyle Kulinski: “A sundowning president with Alzheimer’s who’s a malignant narcissist is dragging us into WWIII, committing war crimes on a daily basis and crashing the global economy, and nobody is actually grabbing the steering wheel.”

Bethel, Maine now

It’s midnight. We’re here at the capital after House Republicans REFUSED to call up a unanimous Senate bill that would have funded TSA, FEMA, and Coast Guard, ended the shutdown, and paid our federal workers. Here’s the latest—along with some very, very good news amidst the chaos!

Blue-footed booby near PV, Mexico. Shot from a boat in large swells so this is one of the few slightly salvageable shots from the outing. #PuertoVallarta #BirdOfTheDay #tricolour #birds #photography #ECK

"The Justice Department is increasingly telling judges it can’t defend ICE’s actions..." www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Damn, Gerry Baker. 👀

The Moldovan Parliament has approved the permanent withdrawal of the Republic of Moldova from the statutory bodies of the Russian led "Commonwealth of Independent States."

❗️Ukrainian experts in the Middle East were shocked by US air defense tactics, citing the use of up to 8 Patriot missiles per drone and $6M interceptors against $70K UAVs, while poorly concealed radars were destroyed by cheap drones, The Times reports. #Iran

BREAKING According to Heather Cox Richardson's substack post last night it appears that Epstein was under investigation by Obama's DOJ and DEA, but after Trump took office the investigation was squashed. That opens up a bunch of peccadilloes. READ: heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/march-18-2...

This is it right here. This is the messaging we need.

This is the quintessence of narcissistic sociopathy. And just plain stupidity. From @anneapplebaum.bsky.social:

AI generated Jessica Foster pro-trump Army MAGA Barbie. The creator is anonymous. The origin is unknown, but a million Americans couldn't tell an AI Barbie doll from a real soldier. THAT is the national security crisis regardless of who built her.

Welcome to Canada, where sanity is still being practiced in most places...for now... www.cbc.ca/news/canada/....

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.

I am leaving the Washington Post to join a new journalistic venture backed by Politico founder Robert Allbritton that will be both the hometown publication the D.C. region sorely needs and a scrappy and fearless national news organization. I hope you'll join us.
