"Just 9.1 percent of Army employees agreed that 'Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s political leadership team generates high levels of motivation in the workforce,' the survey report said, and they were the most satisfied of any of the large agencies surveyed."

Over a year into President Trump’s second stint in the White House, and overwhelmed with concern about the war with Iran, buyer’s remorse has set in for for some young Trump voters. “I feel betrayed,” said Joshua Byers, who voted for Trump in 2024.

I just watched a video of an attorney arguing before a state supreme court and when they finished their argument, one of the judges asked for clarification on five cases cited in the brief that don't exist. The attorney used AI to write it and didn't check the cites. Y'all... not a great sign.

Pete Hegseth declares it’s Ukraine’s fault for defending itself against Russia that the US did not prepared for the illegal war Israel and the US planned and launched against Iran which is now plunging the world into an unprecedented global economic crisis.

Trump and MAGA spent years screaming that the Justice Department was being weaponized against them. Turns out that was their plan all along.

Trump ignored every warning to not start a war with Iran. Senator @coons.senate.gov reveals more in his interview with Jen Rubin. WATCH: https://www.contrariannews.org/p/trump-chose-war

I think we are getting close to a tipping point similar to the one that happened during the pandemic when the press corps stopped playing along because shit was getting too real to continue playing along. Fortunes will be lost over these lies. The rest of us will suffer, too, but that don't matter.

This is a disgusting statement that reflects the general view of the Trump admin and increasingly the Republican Party as a whole.

An upcoming hearing in the case may force an FBI agent to testify about the extraordinary affidavit that backed the bureau’s search and offer new insights into the motives behind the raid. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

So far the war on Iran has cost $25 billion. That's $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. Thousands of lives lost. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Comment from me: Ukraine has sent experts to the Middle East to share the unique Ukrainian experience of modern warfare, thus helping the US. I will leave the statements about President Zelenskyy and Putin without comment.

▪️He says Zelenskyy is more difficult to deal with than Putin is. ▪️And he said Putin has also shown that he's not afraid of Europe at this point or our European allies. I would clearly say that he expressed more trust in Putin than he does any of our European allies.

"I would clearly say that he[Trump] expressed more trust in Putin than he does any of our European allies."-TV host Stephanie Ruhle had a 15-min phone call with Trump She said he told: ▪️Anything Zelenskyy has said as far as what Ukraine has done to help us,he's just doing for political&PR purposes

Relative to what?

The British version of “Saturday Night Live” premieres this weekend and will be available on Peacock in the U.S. The big question is whether the show can flip the script and become a hit in a land where American humor can sometimes be the butt of jokes.

This NYT editorial’s headline should say “Trump’s anti-Muslim lies are odious.” Much stronger and people might actually read it. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/o...

The success of a similar lawsuit in New Jersey clearing had an impact here.

Zelensky awarded the Order of Courage, 2nd class, to the troops who downed a Russian Ka-52 with an FPV drone.

Remember when Pam Bondi tried to distract from Trump's Epstein cover-up by declaring, "The Dow is over 50,000 right now"? Since that date, Feb. 11, the Dow has dropped 9% to 45,535. An illegal war, incompetence and corruption will do that to an economy.

In this week's newsletter, I explain *why* it seems like the Democrats on the court "stick together" while the GOP justices do not. But what actually horrorfied me this week is the administration's reasons for extincting whales. Check it out @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The U.K. government said today that it will allow the U.S. to fly missions from British bases in order to bomb Iranian missile sites that are targeting shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

NEW: Virginia lawmakers just passed a bill that'd forbid sheriffs and local police from contracting with ICE, if ICE doesn't say it'll follow state laws and agree to let its agents be prosecuted. Everyone seems to agree that'd spell the end of ICE contracts in Virginia: boltsmag.org/virginia-bil...

Attacks on synagogues and Jewish shops in the UK, Europe and the US don’t hurt Netanyahu. They just hurt ordinary Jews | Jonathan Freedland

“I think we’ve won” — Trump

“More will suffer that fate without a preliminary injunction,” Attorney Jeffrey Dubner said. “These aren’t hardened criminals or safety risks. … these are just ordinary people caught up in a sweeping dragnet. They needed the meaningful assistance of counsel.”

The "CBS Evening News" dipping below 4 million viewers must be setting off alarm bells inside the network. But when you alienate the audience, loyal viewers will leave. Watch Power Lines on YouTube: youtu.be/g4zHWZFi9ec?...

In my experience this stuff sucks on here but it also sucks on Twitter now. There was an amazing ecosystem for breaking info that Elon destroyed because people hurt his feelings, and now the best place for breaking news is nowhere.

I largely agree with this, and I truly hate it. Twitter should have been treated like the public utility it became. That ship has sailed, and I don’t know the answer.

Americans are footing the bill for Trump’s war with Iran to the tune of tens of billions of taxpayer dollars already, yet Republicans in the House are doing nothing to lower prices or defend the war powers of Congress. Where is constitutional lawyer Speaker Johnson?

Because the federal voter law said states with same-day voter registration could be exempt, Idaho lawmakers passed a bill almost unanimously, with full support from Republicans, to adopt same-day registration.
