As President Trump rejects a deal to fund TSA and fix airport lines, Republican lawmakers should simply pass a bill and force him to veto it. bit.ly/4t5rDbT

I wrote about a camp, 27 girls who drowned due to astonishing failures to plan, and hundreds of families going back anyway. nymag.com/intelligence...

Making the Strait of Hormuz safe for energy shipments would be a remarkable accomplishment, one that the world has never seen since the beginning of the month.

“.. Since the President’s inauguration last year, national debt has climbed by around $2.8 trillion.” @time.com time.com/article/2026...

Republicans blocked our bill to fully fund TSA & their agents. This is the 8th time they've blocked our attempts to reopen TSA, FEMA, & other agencies outside of ICE & CBP at DHS. But they would rather hold these agencies hostage to give Trump's ICE & CBP another blank check.

"Six months ago the Navy decommissioned its four Avenger-class minesweepers that had been stationed in Bahrain precisely to deal with Iranian mines. It gets dumber."

Last week: Older residents in the small town of Ozona are thriving. Here's the unique way that wind energy is keeping retirees close to home, and giving them a better quality of life.

Finance guys are Americans in London. No matter how many warnings you paint on the ground, they do not believe mortal threats can come from the right. They KNOW they only come from the left. We all look on in horror at their left-turned heads as the double decker bus hurtles towards them.

Schiff: "We are now giving Russia $140 million a day by releasing them from these sanctions when Russia is providing intelligence to Iran to better attack and kill American troops. It is rewarding Russia and punishing Ukraine."

Declan Coady was an Eagle Scout who served the homeless. He was the youngest service member killed in the Iran war. The embodiment of an Eagle Scout. www.kcrg.com/2026/03/05/w...

This needs more attention. Previous administrations did not seize tankers because they understood the maintenance and upkeep costs. This administration makes a stupid choice and refuses to correct it. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...

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.

"U.S. officials called London insurers and brokers, trying to figure out how the market operates, industry insiders said." When applied to the current administration, I urge caution in using terms like "plans," "strategy," "policy," or "doctrine." www.wsj.com/finance/u-s-...

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...

New from Kalyn Gensic: "I entered this profession just as storm clouds of the current book-banning push were starting to gather, but I enrolled in a librarian program hoping it would pass me like lamb’s blood was painted on my doorframe. And for the first three years, wishful thinking worked ..."

Good thing Trump keeps Chinese cars out of the country, otherwise we would be able to buy better cars at lower prices www.fastcompany.com/91503415/byd... As Trump always says, "why pay less?"

My lord! The frigate the US submarine torpedoed, the one the White House has been bragging about, was unarmed and headed home from an international naval exercise, hosted by India, that the US pulled out of at the last minute! www.military.com/daily-news/i...

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin? NOEM: Yes WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that? NOEM: No.

We need to attend to urgent needs now, but let’s make sure we circle back to the WAYMO IMPEDING FIRST RESPONDERS part of this story at some point in the near future.

Ted Cruz: "I have no indication they were anywhere close to getting nuclear weapons"

/Mistaking the SCIF at Mar-a-Lago for the coat-check for a chiropractor's second wedding that is happening in the ballroom right next to the SCIF at Mar-a-Lago and briefly seeing a drowsy Donald Trump in a suit and baseball cap looking at a TV with a bunch of tweets on it. "Ope, sorry guys."

that top DOD officials spent the entire day feuding with a tech company and the boy scouts before launching a war in the middle of the night should probably inform your opinion about how well planned and executed this will be

It's so cool that the fbi is basically the make a wish foundation for one podcaster

Thanks to the OBBB, Amazon’s tax bill for 2025 is $1.2 billion, down from $9 billion the year before despite a 45% jump in profits.

A sprawling data center proposal sparks growing backlash in North Texas.

It is notable that Andrew has been arrested for 'misconduct in public office,' which is precisely what the US Supreme Court decided no American president can ever be charged with. - The Economist's Matt Steinglass

I understand that the Trib can’t put red sirens on its articles but I feel like this one needs red sirens (which is saying something in Texas).

Aviles also said his wife, the Uvalde regional district director for Rep. Gonzales, was effectively "black-sheeped" in the office & that they sought to make her quit. His statements confirm what a former staffer told us in yesterday's @expressnews.com story: www.expressnews.com/news/article...

There was at one time an injunction against this practice (in a case involving a different country and different petitioners). The Supreme Court vacated it in a decision that the Justices didn't even bother to explain.

Tests found barium, which can cause heart and blood pressure problems, at 3x the EPA’s limit in the Boarmans’ drinking water. But the state did not inform the family of the results for over a month — until @readfrontier.bsky.social and ProPublica requested them.

Local HEB commercial about the HEB butter tortillas was perfectly done. 10/10. Cute. Made me want HEB butter tortillas.

Trump's administration tonight told a Boston judge that his proposal that it issue a student visa to a Babson College student it deported to Honduras in violation of a court order is "unfeasible" and said ICE declines to facilitate her return. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

The best one has to be the sign they used for the US in Sarajevo. "United States of America" is "Sjedinjene Američke Države" in Bosnian, which seems fine... except the IOC didn't start insisting on using the full names of countries on the signs until the 90s:
