$200 billion materialized overnight for Trump’s war of choice in Iran. But for 25 million uninsured Americans, Congressional Republicans have nothing. No urgency. No bill. No vote. They fund what they value. #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar

Sure hope this is another sign of late-stage predatory capitalism. This ish is unreal.

BREAKING: $5,000,000,000,000 has now been wiped out from the US stock market since the Iran War began. I’m sure everything is fine.

Donald Trump's Pentagon is going to buy millions of dollars of drones from Donald Trump's sons. But *do* go on more about the corruption of Joe and Hunter Biden.

Over the last few years, American tech oligarchs have become the greatest argument against their own existence. The sheer scale of their erratic behavior and political interference proves that extreme wealth concentration is a structural threat to society

The SAVE Act forces citizens to register in person, track down birth certificates or passports, take time off work, find childcare, and drive hours just to get on the rolls. Trump’s own commission didn’t find fraud. MAGA just wants fewer voters🤬

Mic drop.

I don't know how many of you remember the Steele dossier story but this is what The Guardian had to say about it. Personally, I think it has a lot of credence and believe it because of the magazine's reputation. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

Most California voters support the state’s newly proposed billionaire tax, according to new polling. Meanwhile, rich Californians are plotting a $500M slush fund to influence the state's politics. So they can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections? See the problem...

Live Nation employees who bragged about “robbing them blind” are getting away with it. “Them” = you. www.digitalmusicnews.com/2026/03/12/l...

And for lobster dinners at the DOD.

Why is the Iran War making prices go up? Ben Sheehan explains

So glad someone did this.

A country protest song was not on my Bingo card: youtu.be/6IPlzPkcKWg?...

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend." RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him. So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

GO HEELS! What a game!

Obama and Trump are visiting the same barber shop. Trump’s barber reaches for the aftershave, but Trump stops him: "No thanks, Melania will think I've been in a brothel." The barber with Obama asks, 'And you, Mr. Obama?" He replies, "Go ahead. My wife doesn't know what a brothel smells like."

Required listening. Someone please give this woman a medal for bravery. And force DHS to cover her medical bills and car repairs. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

Funny how farmers get a $12B bridge payment, corporations get subsidies, and Wall Street gets rescues—but feeding hungry families is framed as a moral failure. Pushing 1.75M people off SNAP isn’t a hand up, it’s a boot. The American Dream isn’t hunger.

Worth sharing!

For your library, detailed talking points to counter maga fantasies, ending in this encouragement: “So the United States…is now a hybrid state combining a fascist leader and a liberal Constitution; but no, it has not fallen to fascism. And it will not.. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

An informative snowy-day read. Ten thousand trump supporters participated in this study. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

A jolt of clarity from historian Robert Kagan, interviewed by excellent journalist/truth-teller Carole Cadwalladr. Def worth a listen. youtu.be/0goGamFRtO0?...

We all must channel our own inner Anders Vistisen. Always speak truth to power. Always.

This thread was worth the time.

I hope this post goes viral if for no other reason than the comparison to Princess Leia. Perfect!

Is this what Trump had in mind for his “Golden Age”?

This is the groupthink version of Trump’s assertion that his “own morality” is the only thing that will stop him.

A musical reminder from Bruce Hearn and the Machinists. Head up, volume up, LFG! youtu.be/vEHHbbJBqow?...

Wagging the dog

There’s always a tweet.

BREAKING NEWS: Actual facts appear for the first time on "Truth" Social.

BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg rules for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 — certifying a class, finding the U.S. maintained constructive custody over them at CECOT, finding they were not given due process, and ordering return or that such process be given by Jan. 5, 2026.

There is no neutral reason to own this much media. Billionaires do not buy news outlets out of civic duty. They buy them to shape what gets seen, softened or buried. When stories on 60 minutes that are critical of trump vanish, stop pretending it’s coincidence. Power protects power. #Resist

YAAAAAAAASSS LADIES! LFG!

Can we please put this video on replay in all the airports and on a continuous loop on TV and on military bases?

Dearly beloved, I strongly encourage you to save/bookmark this tidy substack explainer on recognizing fake online campaigns. You’ll refer to it a lot before next November, and amaze your friends!

Highly recommend following @piperformissouri.bsky.social who took the gloves off months ago and is just punching hard now.

To you wonderful ppl who follow me - know that I am thankful for your warm welcome to your feed. It is a privilege to back-and-forth with you, and as a thank you I offer this Thanksgiving pro tip:

So true. Also, sick of women. Ross Douthat @ the NYT is a poster child for this.

Just a reminder: there was a Biden administration investigation into Epstein and Maxwell's co-conspirators. Trump killed it in January, fired the prosecutors, stole the files, & ordered Bondi to open a new sham investigation, led by a handpicked prosecutor, so DOJ wouldn't have to release the files.

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not. Watch till the end @housedemocrats.bsky.social @houserepublicans.bsky.social

To be shared far and wide.

Senator Menendez is sitting in his cell at Allenwood right now because he took a 1kg gold bar from the Egyptians, among other forms of “lobbying.”

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

This is so sensible. Being outraged by idiots day after day is exhausting and def not worth the energy.
