🇺🇸🇺🇦 What used to remain unspoken (though widely understood) is now becoming increasingly clear: the U.S. is beginning to put direct pressure on Ukraine, while still lacking any real leverage over Putin and his regime.

2. Oddly, the NYT does not mention that earlier this year the Saudi government financed a $7 billion development with the Trump Organization. These licensing deals are essentially all profit for Trump. It's putting money right in his pocket.

NEVER NEVER NEVER FORGET the January 6 insurrection and that the perpetrators of this violence have been pardoned by the same Regime that instigated it. (And those same perpetrators have been hired by DHS.)

1. Yesterday, the NYT dropped a bombshell: Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has been aggressively lobbying Trump not to end the fighting and pushing him to launch a ground operation. Why would Trump listen? Follow the money.

⚡️ BREAKING: Zelenskyy tells Reuters that the U.S. will only provide post-war security guarantees if Kyiv cedes the entire Donbas to Russia. He warns Trump’s strategy is shifting toward increased pressure on Ukraine, likely influenced by escalating tensions in the Middle East.

⚡️ Sanctioned Russian lawmakers to meet US officials in rare Washington visit, source says. The Russian delegation is headed by Vyacheslav Nikonov, deputy chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee and the grandson of Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov.

This is genuinely a bombshell. All courthouse arrests should cease immediately. There should be a Congressional investigation & civil rights actions for every illegal abduction of immigrants trying to follow the rules and appear in court. (2/2)

So essentially ICE "assisting" TSA with nightmarish airport security lines was all a bait and switch... and Stephen Miller is forcing TSA agents to tip off ICE to undocumented immigrants about to fly www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/u...

(6/6) People have been voting early and by mail for decades, and Republicans have been trying to restrict access for nearly as long. Going back to a time “when you voted on Election Day” as Kari Lake and the GOP want, would keep many voters from casting a ballot. Which, remember, is the point.

Trump’s legacy will be that he left America alone, weak and without Allies, heavily in debt, and hated by the global community

All of this is correct. And it explains why almost everything Trump is doing is for the clear benefit of Putin.

We invaded Venezuela, kidnapped their leader and installed a puppet, and are now pillaging the country's resources just like the fascists in the 1930s did, and somehow this has already been normalized and isn't being treated as the crime it is

The most sour “I told ya so” in history 🤬

And don't forget— "Mar-A-Lago Sought 380 Foreign Workers During Time Trump Had Access To Classified Documents"

"Most jarring is Bradley County Constable District 7 in Tennessee: a single officer received a base award of $107,525, followed by a $11,500 salary bump — and now a further modification appears to add $1,820,550 in new funding for that one cop." www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

At least a couple mothers held at Dilley feel that the teachers there use instructional time to pry info out of kids that the government can then use against them in court. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The fact that military officials can’t give the President of the United States an honest assessment of the war in Iran—and have to placate him by showing him videos of stuff blowing up—should be concerning to everyone.

If India and China start just regularly paying a transit fee, then it's a done deal forever. Or rather than "forever," it will require the U.S. to invade and topple the government and install a friendly puppet who will give up this revenue. (At $2 million per transit, that's +$18 BILLION annually.)

👀 Oil tanks at Russia’s Primorsk port are still burning after a drone strike. Footage and NASA FIRMS data show multiple fires across the facility, with smoke reportedly visible in Finland.

reported ICE presence at the Mall of America today "Seen near Log Chute ride at Nickelodeon Universe. Agent wearing normal clothes, with badge in the middle of chest. He stopped a woman, asked her for US ID and raised his voice."

"Epstein's accountant and lawyer told House panel government investigators never interviewed them." The lack of interest by the government in learning the truth about Epstein and his confederates--the desire NOT to discover the truth--is horrifying. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico jury finds Meta's platforms are harmful to children's mental health and imposes $375 million penalty.

PabloReports: What do you make of your Republican colleagues who have said for months that ICE agents can only be safe if they wear masks, and now they show up at airports without any masks on? AOC: They were always full of it then, and they are full of it now.

>10,000 STEM PhDs have left federal service over the past year (including 30% of the federal colleagues with whom I’ve worked closely). Those still left are holding federal science together with duct tape. What an extraordinary act of sabotage against the American people.

Taps microphone: AHEM. US forces will stay in the Iran War until MBS says they can leave or no more Gulf States money for Trump/Kushner.

I realize Republicans don’t want to admit this, which is why they are so crazed about passing the SAVE Act, but the reason why Dems have dramatically over-performed their 2024 results in 99% of races around the country since then isn’t because “illegals” have been voting.

Think voting doesn’t matter? 766 votes.

Breaking: Democrat Emily Gregory has flipped a deep red district in Florida that contains Mar-a-Lago. Trump will now be represented by a Democrat.

The GOP Senate leadership's latest "plan" to pass the SAVE America Act really sounds like its more of a plan to get Donald Trump to shut up about passing it for a minute and then hopefully forget about it. That's pretty damn unlikely, but still more likely than using reconciliation to pass SAVE.

UN: “As tensions escalate in the Middle East, the international community must not lose sight of the situation in Gaza, said Nikolay Mladenov — official with President Trump’s Board of Peace across the shattered enclave on Tuesday in his first appearance in the UN Security Council.“

Another day goes by And tourists still can’t readily see the Jan 6 plaque at the Capitol

NEVER NEVER NEVER FORGET the January 6 insurrection and that the perpetrators of this violence have been pardoned by the same Regime that instigated it. (And those same perpetrators have been hired by DHS.)

ICE violently detain father legally working in U.S.—injure daughter's leg & rip out her nose piercing. "I told them that I was a U.S. citizen," she said. "We don't care," agents retort. "That doesn't matter. Agents were "dressed in everyday clothing"—and refused to show ID. Lebanon, Tennessee

The inevitable result of this would be the creation of a permanent underclass of exploitable people, who grew up in this country, know no other, and have no education so are more vulnerable than ever before; a serf class for the rich and powerful.

It's just unreal how little thought or planning went into starting a new massive war in the Middle East.

I keep talking to students who want to meet to discuss how to pursue a career in the intelligence community. They all seem to assume that everything is working mostly normally under Trump. I guess this is really all they know, no reference point for understanding how off the rails things are rn 1/

once again I am compelled to mention that Bush v. Gore likely went down the way it did because Sandra Day O'Connor cooked her brain on talk radio scholarlycommons.law.hofstra.edu/cgi/viewcont...

I wonder what it would be like to have a government that functioned.

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

“Mind-blowing corruption”

Russia and Vietnam signed a deal to build Vietnam’s first nuclear power plant, as Hanoi deepens energy ties with Moscow. With fuel prices surging amid Middle East tensions, Vietnam is also pursuing oil and gas agreements, with PM Pham Minh Chinh visiting Moscow to secure supplies.

Videos show flames and a plume of thick smoke following an explosion at a Valero oil refinery in Port Arthur, Texas. Police have told local media they believe an industrial heater caused the blaze and there are no reports of injuries.

Old and weak president is losing his war against Iran, because he’s old and weak: If Joe Biden were in Donald Trump's shoes, that's the story Trump would tell about him. A THREAD.

The question that broke America fundamentally was ‘do all people deserve basic rights?’ This question was too hard for us. Too hard for our leadership. It still is. So now all of our rights are in jeopardy.
