The words "this is insane" get used a lot nowadays. But truly, "this is insane."

Trump rejected the deal because we’d rather shoot down a $20,000 drone with multiple interceptors that cost $2 million each.

I spoke to my calculator, what it said will shock you.

Stephanie Ruhle breaks down her interview with Trump and the way he went after our NATO allies while blindly favoring Putin. Sidebar: The MSNOW photo choices of Trump are comedy gold. @stephruhle.bsky.social

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

Honestly, this historic heat dome across the West is really hard to put into words for me. Temperatures over 110°F (43°C) in March, shattering all-time monthly records on multiple consecutive days, and not just by a little. ➡️ I can confirm this is human-caused climate change. polarwx.com/models/

This horrific story gets worse when you find out how this young woman originally came to the US: as a 17-year-old on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane

how much do you wanna bet that the Russian succeeded in hacking the Signal account of someone high-level in the Trump administration

While this would be an unusual outcome for a civil fraud trial, I believe he should be given the death penalty

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Trump floods the zone with so much shit you can get deep into his second term before learning that one of his FEMA guys believes he has the power of teleportation

the country is at war and the president is peacing out for another weekend at his private club in Florida that he'll spend with his paying customers

Okay I’m sorry but DAFUQ IS THIS HERE NOW?! #ableg

Gonna be honest, I find it extremely weird and emblematic of brain-rotted "bothsidesism" that media is near-unanimously celebrating a podcast in which Poilievre agreed as Rogan spouted some disturbing lies. Rogan said lifesaving COVID mandates were ridiculous. Poilievre explicitly agreed.

This will lead to AI “rewrites” that are defamatory. I say this with certainty because Grammarly regularly advises me to remove adverbs like “allegedly” and “apparently.”

This is going to hurt journalism even more.

If things like universities, democracy, and the humanities exist in 30 years, there are going to be some fascinating dissertations written on the political culture of authoritarianism in 2020s America.

Northback Holdings, a coal mining company owned by billionaire Australian Gina Rinehart, has launched a $2-billion claim against the Canadian government under a little-known trade agreement. Andrew Nikiforuk reports.

RIP: CBS News Radio (1928-2026) This is galling. Radio news reaches Americans who don't have access to broadband or cable, who don't live where a daily newspaper delivers. Rural America will lose access to news and information because of this decision.

Here's the exchange in which Rep Adam Smith says all Dems should oppose any more funding for the war. Smith is generally moderate, so for him to unload this way is a big deal: newrepublic.com/article/2080...

Shutting down a historic and invaluable news service because you can't comprehend its function. Right. Great. Swell.

Putin offers to cut off intel to Iran if the US cuts off Ukraine. www.politico.eu/article/puti...

Google AI overviews are absolutely destroying search traffic 9to5google.com/2026/03/18/g...

6 months before bombing Iran and closing the Strait of Hormuz, the Trump admin fired the State Dept. oil and gas experts. The people who modeled exactly this scenario. The ones with contacts at Gulf energy ministries. Now nobody knows who to call. You can't make this up.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Danielle Smith sure doesn’t look like a suitable person to be privy to Canadian state secrets. albertapolitics.ca/2026/03/dani... #ableg

I've interviewed more than a dozen hydrologists and climatologists across the West the past 10 days. A sense of panic is starting to set in. Wildfires and water shortages will start mounting this summer. Adverse impacts are expected from not only this heat wave, but the historically warm winter.

Every basin has below-normal snowpack. Some have melted out almost entirely. That's not unheard of for low elevations in mid-March, but what highly unusual is the lack of snow at middle and high elevations across such a broad region. Winters like are becoming increasingly common.

Remember what I've been saying about climate and water

Three major new studies on democracy and freedom all find the U.S. is slipping further away from democracy. Leaders of two of those studies say President Trump's goal is to rule as an autocrat. n.pr/4uG99Am

"I think that we're failing in our duty to give people hope," Smith told reporters. --- It is unclear how removing medical options gives anyone hope. Quite the opposite. This law makes the Christian right feel better. As will new restrictions on abortion. They eliminate hope for everyone else.

The people who cancelled Jimmy Kimmel after Charlie Kirk's assassination will now control television stations that reach 80% of Americans, twice that what was legally allowed before Trump's takeover. The state capture of network television is almost complete.

Aid to Ukraine from 2022-2026 was a rounding error. We used more in the first two weeks of the Iran war than we provided in the 4 years of aid to Ukraine.

Honestly don't even have the words to express how grim this is, but also absolutely the right call by the Danes

No more excuses for funding social programs.

So happy he can take breaks from the war to do amazing things like this for us. He really cares.
