Trump on Iran, all in one day: "We won. We won in the first hour. It was over." Then: "We've got to finish the job." Then: "It's just a question of when do we stop." What is the plan? This is total chaos.

Breaking news: President Trump announced that the United States had bombed Kharg Island, targeting Iran’s most critical oil terminal in an attack that Tehran has warned would mark an escalation of the conflict.

A win! A federal judge in Rhode Island has directed the government to reinstate a union contract covering more than 300,000 Veterans Affairs employees after the Trump administration attempted to end the agreement in August.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Breaking: the DOGE deposition videos have been taken off YouTube. On Friday the government asked a judge to intervene, said the videos could cause reputational damage, death threats. Judge agreed, ordered them removed: www.404media.co/doge-deposit...

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

Remarkable decision by DC District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg quashing subpoenas against Jerome Powell. Even more remarkable are the subpoenas themselves, an effort to weaponize law enforcement. Here is the full opinion. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

wow -- JD Vance tosses Kristi Noem under the bus "We recognized, frankly, that we needed the new leadership to hasten the delivery of resources to the people of North Carolina ... we think it's useful to have somebody come in and focus on some of this disaster relief and recovery stuff."

The EPA proposed Friday to weaken air pollution limits on a chemical used to sterilize medical equipment, a move that would reverse a Biden administration finding of high cancer risks at manufacturing facilities that use ethylene oxide to clean medical devices. https://to.pbs.org/4bbDDT6

"Regardless of whatever emergency the White House does or doesn’t manage to concoct, Trump faces a bigger problem: The president can’t simply declare a national emergency and then do whatever he wants," write @annabower.bsky.social and @mollyroberts.bsky.social.

“I remain deeply concerned about any attempts to improperly transfer public assets to private companies,” Mr. Neguse wrote. Yeah, me too. My bet is that it involves AccuWeather dude, who has been trying since Trump 1.0 to get control of the federal weather data they've been repackaging for years

JUST IN: Four demonstrators who still face conspiracy charges tied to ICE protests in Broadview seek records relating to "any improper influence exerted upon the U.S. Attorney's office." The motion includes a pic of President Trump's image on the front entryway of the Justice Department:

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

🧵 Arizona Ed said it analyzed a random sample of 3K ESA transactions & concluded 1.9% of ESA $ unallowable. TLDR: 🫠They did not draw a random sample 🫠Either ADE lied or made a very basic error 🫠Focusing on unallowed misses big picture; too many low-ROI for human capital items are allowed 1/10

“There’s another young boy I met last time whose name is Liam Nias,” @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social said. “He’s 7, from Honduras, I believe. He reminded me of Liam Ramos, except no one knows this other boy — he’s just unknown and sitting there in this prison.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...

This is the pentagon press corp now: hand picked propagandists

If only there'd been some indication that Donald Trump was garbage.

this means it is not open for transit

Rep. Keith Self: "You do not defeat a nation with air power only ... we may need special forces to go in to do some of the operations on the ground"

"The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better." The Defense Secretary calling for a billionaire ally of the government to take over a media outlet & make it more pro-government. This is what authoritarianism looks like. But in other countries they try & hide it.

UPDATE on litigation surrounding conditions inside ICE's facility in suburban Broadview: In light of apparent settlement talks, Judge Robert Gettleman has extended his previous temporary restraining order "until further order of court." A 4/21 preliminary injunction hearing is stricken.

Masked law enforcement officials misused a warrant to launch a militarized raid at a family-oriented event in Wilder, Idaho. We're suing state and federal law enforcement with @acluidaho.bsky.social on behalf of families who were traumatized by this illegal raid.

Trump has denied that he is considering an emergency declaration to seize control of elections — but proponents say the draft order has gained traction within the White House. "Last word I had was that the order had made it to the White House and that it had the president's attention," Canova said.

man what also in addition to this being terrible, I have confusion about what the mechanism is supposed to be here?

We are still learning more, but here is my initial statement with Senators Sanders and Welch about what happened with ICE yesterday in South Burlington.
