and so it was that donald trump himself won the biggest Fell For It Again Award, having fallen hook line and sinker for "they will greet us as liberators"

This whole administration continues to be an object lesson in the catastrophic folly of letting unserious people have authority over serious things

Important to note that Iranian ‘kamikaze’ boats (explosive laden crewed or uncrewed speedboats) do exist www.hisutton.com/IRGC-USV.html

Some Iranian naval mines These ‘bottom mines’ are much more dangerous than floating or moored contact mines

An actual post by the sitting President of the United States. 🤬

Too stupid not to announce what the SAVE Act is *really* all about.

And because of the population imbalance due to admitting small states, these 52 represent tens of millions fewer people than Democratic Senators. Our system is fundamentally and structurally broken.

These 52 people could have stopped a national and a world catastrophe any time they chose to. They confirmed Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, et al, okayed DOGE and tariffs, and green lighted Trump’s military attacks. The country and the world reels. Fifty-two people.

A missile has hit the US Embassy in Baghdad.

Yemen’s Houthis have announced they’ll be joining the war in support of Iran shortly. Analysts expect them to shut down another strait, Bab El-Mandeb, which will close the Suez Canal. The global economy hangs by a thread.

Sadly, we never got that Mail Robot spin-off.

"even the declaration of no quarter"

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.

You know what we're not griping about enough? That Donald Trump's face is going to be on U.S. currency—on $1 coins—later this year. This will be the first time a living president has appeared solo on a coin, and one of the very few times a living individual has ever been on U.S. coinage.

Teens are receiving dangerous eating advice from AI chatbots, study says

Here's some of the detail I've been looking for on Steve Witkoff's nuclear ignorance. h/t @marktfitz.bsky.social

Donald Trump is surprised at how poorly the Iran War is going — but the news media is covering all of this uncertainty and sham-handedness as if it’s all part and parcel of a normal conflict. Every article needs to start leading with: Trump is lost at sea. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-surp...

Can this be a solution?

“the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Fund, Inc., which was set to receive at least some of the settlement funding, was administratively dissolved in September by Florida officials after it did not submit a mandatory annual report” And poof! $63 million ‘disappears’ Bribery law is a joke.

American values dictate that it is acceptable to have a proven sex offender as president of the country. This is the message the American people sent to the world. The American people are solely responsible of what happen.

You mean Trump at fault? It was his choice for war.

They've reportedly been telling him their shoe sizes are about 13 or so because they're scared he'll say they've got tiny willies. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Can someone, for real, explain to me what these senators think they can gain by voting for Trump nominees? I see zero upside. Less than zero. Huge risk. What kind of loser information bubble are the senators operating in?

So much was said about @slotkin.senate.gov and @captmarkkelly.bsky.social for this video. But they can’t vote against Trump nominees? That is rank cowardice. There’s no 40 dimensional chess here. No one is going to reward them at the polls for voting in a bipartisan way for fascist nominees.

So many average citizens have stood up to Trump. Alex Pretti went to the street to protect his fellow humans, who the Trump regime was harming. He lost his life for it. Renee Good lost her life for resisting. And sorry, but—these fucking cowards in the Senate can’t vote against Trump nominees?

The Gulf of Mexico is running a severe fever... it's the warmest it has ever been for this date. 🥵

It gets better. Here's Vance and Rubio in the Oval Office...

The bulk carrier “Mayruree Naree” was struck while attempting to exit Hormuz. The vessel caught fire, and most of the crew were forced to abandon ship. A third cargo vessel was also reported to have been hit, likely while remaining inside the Gulf without trying to exit the Strait of Hormuz.

BREAKING: We've now been able to confirm 13.7 million barrels of Iranian crude oil exports since 2026-02-28; with the latest 2MB currently heading to China via the SoH. Multiple VLCC's are still loading crude oil at Kharg per today's satellite imagery. #OOTT #Tankers #Iran

The right time to force a vote on these new articles - and the ones you filed before against Hegseth and Trump - is now @thanedar.house.gov. Anything less is performative. We’re all here waiting on your heroism. @citizensimpeachment.com

Pam Bondi broke the law to hide Epstein Files containing grave accusations of predatory sexual behavior by Donald Trump toward minors. This disgraceful coverup needs to be punished, and Bondi must be removed from her position. Read more about my efforts to impeach her below.

It’s darkly funny that there’s this redline with Tillis and the Supreme Court where they won’t let Trump wreck Fed independence but they’re cool with him having the nuclear codes.

They're disgusting and there need to be fucking trials. No stepping down. Fucking arrests and trials and months of testimony put into the fucking record. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud-8...

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open. Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

I actually think it’s cool @mikeblack114.bsky.social has a better sense of what’s going on than the chairman of the joint chiefs, this site has the juice

I know that bad news is coming when a co-worker messages me with "You're gonna be so mad..." Grammarly has rolled out an AI-powered "expert review" feature where its simulacrum of me makes suggestions for your text. My real edits are usually along the lines of "Throw this into the sea."

Background information here:

to me, *that* is the only interesting question for 2024 trump voters who are suddenly shocked and outraged: having lived through the first term of lies, deceptions, and double crosses, why did you believe him a second time?

Truly a perfect news alert

Done with these @democrats.org. They've turned heel. They continue to push Trump agenda. They refuse to represent the people.
