The crypto lobby is back to releasing dubious polls to try to prove there is a “crypto voter” bloc that could sway the midterms. Though they make sweeping claims about this supposed bloc’s impact on elections, their poll only targeted crypto holders and “Stand With Crypto advocates”.

BREAKING Trump’s executive order directing federal agencies to stop funding NPR and PBS is “unlawful and unenforceable,” a federal judge ruled. Doc buff.ly/WcnQN4A

“The number of immigrants in ICE custody has nearly doubled in the last 14 months,“ and the country’s largest immigration facilities are described as “places where disease and illness are rampant and detainees are often denied sufficient food, clean drinking water, medications & medical care.”—GIFT

Plausibly, this should (if it happens) be understood as the death of the federal Constitution Not just, to be clear, a mortal wound: imo that's already happened. The actual death. Such that it should no longer be understood to be in force

Good lord.

John Yoo Ilan Wurman Michael McConnell Michael Ramsay The sum total of law professors quoted in this article. This is the legal equivalent of diner journalism with 12 angry Trump voters. Other choices, as always, were readily available.

Yes, I know that failing to condemn the Gaza genocide cost her votes. But between 2016 and 2024, when two of the most qualified women in American history both lost to the least qualified man ever to run, we can't kid ourselves and pretend that sexism wasn't a massive part of Trump's victories.

I keep listening to podcasts with oil analysts & the shit they are saying is absolutely apocalyptic. If it stays closed, we're going to have to reduce oil demand *more than demand fell during Covid*. Remember that? When the entire world shut down? More than that.

Talking about 300x more miles per acre on Solar + EV than ethanol + ICE… is my love language. Calculations vary slightly, but the conclusion is the same: solar is better on all measurable metrics than corn ethanol. No matter how “prime” the farmland is.

Remember when USPS had a contract to buy a fleet of EVs and Trump made them cancel it and go back to gas?

This is so brazenly corrupt.

Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court. DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations." DOJ blames ICE (page 2)

"The best example of the news media deciding somebody is unfit for office, because of their mental fitness or unfitness, is how they treated Biden in 2024. Biden was old and rational. Right now, Trump is old and irrational, but he’s not getting the same kind of treatment." — @markjacob.bsky.social

We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.

The normalcy bias in this fucking country is just unbelievable. You can watch people get murdered, witness the constitution getting shredded by the day, hear the tech fascists say, in no uncertain terms, what kind of dystopian hellscape they’re working to create, and be like, oh, I’m sure it’s fine.

the republican justices are as pickled in MAGA slop as any pardoned jan 6er

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

TV entertainer and inexplicably Secretary of Defense/War/whatevs Pete Hegseth has been channeling a 13-year-old in another press conference. A short 🧵

The “main goal” of the Iran War may have changed, reports Washington Post: “Israeli officials said securing the [Strait of Hormuz] for energy shipments could become the war’s main goal now that regime change and ending Iran’s ability to obtain a nuclear weapon seem out of reach.”

The world energy shock is coming — it will deepen inequality in ways we've seen before. Our new @newstatesman1913.bsky.social piece argues that without urgent government action, the Strait of Hormuz crisis will ripple through our economies and rip apart our societies. Here's why. 1/

Breaking: A U.S. district judge in Oregon said he will vacate a declaration made late last year by health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that asserted gender-affirming care for young trans people does not meet medical standards of care. www.statnews.com/2026/03/19/j...

“We’re over here just grinding away on banger memes, dude,” said the person, granted anonymity to speak like a caricature

Had the Defense Department’s harm-reduction plan not been axed by the Trump administration, the policies almost certainly would’ve reduced the number of noncombatants harmed over the past year, current and former officials tell ProPublica.

I wrote a more honest version of what's happening on campuses recently. newrepublic.com/article/2068...

"In a Magnetism approach, you draw your supporters in by trumpeting causes you believe in that compel them to sustained action,. And you revel in repelling the voters who will never support you." www.weekendreading.net/p/bringing-a...

Many Washington Post readers have been notified via email that their subscription rates are set to increase. Nestled at the bottom of these emails, you’ll find an asterisk and the following: “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.”

In early Feb, D.H.S. entered a consent decree with Florida, signing away a big part of its parole authority for 15 years. Of six people in the FL AGs office originally on that case, four are now senior officials at DOJ. One is General Counsel at DHS. It was a striking settlement but not a one-off.

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens. snyder.substack.com/p/the-desire...

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children. This is learned today: Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%. www.npr.org/2026/03/11/n...

As a point of comparison, the US spent $21 billion in FY 2022 to feed billions of breakfasts and lunches to kids in schools across our whole country for an entire year under the universal school meals program that was later discontinued.

Again, the unifying 🧵 about Trump’s foreign policy is not realism or neo-royalism. It’s the extension of sexual assault/predation/partner abuse to IR. If he thinks you’re his macho pal, he’ll respect you/your sovereignty. If not, he’ll try to violate you & humiliate you. Epstein-ism, if you like.

"Sports" is such a red herring. Advocates for trans people have never asked for there to be a free-for-all, especially when you're talking about competitive/professional/collegiate/Olympic sports. For those, it's always been that organizations should set their own standards based on science/research

This disgusting shit doesn’t belong in American society. And Republicans who support it don’t belong in Congress.

In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair."

Every Democrat needs to tell Hanne Daguman’s story: Kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing then medically neglected. Insulin is required for life. A Type I diabetic can go into a potentially fatal metabolic state within 12-24 hrs. This is a horrific story. She happens to look “relatable” to GOP.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Chlorine dioxide, a chemical used for disinfecting and bleaching. Pressurized pure oxygen. Raw camel milk. Under RFK Jr., the FDA has taken down a webpage warning about these and other dangerous remedies claiming to treat autism.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

Countries like Ethiopia are showing what can be done if you're serious about cutting fossil-fuel dependence or managing financial crises. Financial crisis --> Fossil fuel subsidies become unaffordable --> Ban fossil-fuel car import --> Electric car boom www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.
