"There was some laughter from the officials and journalists gathered in the room." Everyone knows about trump's incredible stupidity. But "some laughter" from journalists shows the craven ass-kissing of the current WH "journalists". So pathetic & incompetent. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/u...

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Tens of millions of dollars in Super PAC money flowed into Illinois’ primary race: crypto, AI, and dark money PACs that hide where the money came from. AIPAC spent $22 million through shell PACs and never even talked about Israel. Sadly, we’re going to see it in our primaries as well. (1/2)

Please stop referring to the Voter Elimination Act by the Orwellian moniker MAGA gave it, which makes it sound good. We do not need to repeat their words (ahem, "Patriot Act," "Citizens United") but rather make clear exactly what's at stake.

Trump just bailed out Ticketmaster – a monopoly that’s been ripping off fans for years. It’s the same damn story over and over again. Billionaires in boardrooms gouging hard-working Americans without thinking for a second of the impact on the fans.

Angus: They’ve created absolute chaos in the Middle East, and yet they take time out to insult Canada — to say that they can take us over. And then Trump again today doubles down, calling our prime minister his governor.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

Here's a new one: ICE detained a man in Utah who had been arrested for a suspected drug sale ... that turned out to be dried pinto beans. Utah case was dropped but the man, who arrived in US as a minor and has deferred action, was transfered to ICE. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

No matter where you are, they’re using the same playbook

"In all, six Palestinian civilians have been killed in the West Bank since the start of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran just over a week ago, in what appears to be an intensification of settler violence while worldwide attention is focused on the fighting enveloping much of the Middle East."

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...

Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

President Trump’s “authoritarianism is not abstract. There is nothing stopping him from wielding the awesome power of the United States to serve his own interests, not the public’s,” Ben Rhodes writes. “War should never be normal.”

Trump—the supposed anti forever wars president—said the U.S. operation in Iran is projected to last four to five weeks, “but we have capability to go far longer than that.” “Whatever the time is, it’s okay. Whatever it takes,” he said.

‚A prolonged campaign could also produce a failed state with enriched uranium, destabilize crucial oil routes, threaten Gulf allies, trigger a refugee crisis, and disrupt the global economy. “The worst-case outcome is complete chaos,” Dana Stroul, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for’ ME
