UPDATE: The U.S. Department of Justice announced that, through a court order, the FBI “developed a series of commands to send to compromised routers” located on U.S. soil to collect evidence, reset settings, and prevent hackers from breaking back in. techcrunch.com/2026/04/07/r...

Massive Microsoft ineptitude on display.

The White House Correspondents Association is planning to "honor" Trump at its dinner three weeks from now. No way. It was egregious before. Now it's obscene.

we can be pretty confident that the US government doesn't have secret UFO programs or similar because there's no way Trump wouldn't have talked about them

First unalloyed pushback from a Senate Republican is, unsurprisingly, from Lisa Murkowski.

it might be a tough lift for dems to impeach and convict trump, but it's much fucking easier to convince a small handful of swing district republicans that speaker jeffries is a lot healthier for the country than speaker johnson

Ansari & Grijalva on the list, where is Stanton?

My one-hour special “Rick Steves Iran: Yesterday and Today,” which helps humanize 90 million Iranian people, is streaming free and ad-free at www.ricksteves.com/watch-iran.

Now Ron Wyden:

For your citing purposes, U.S. law incorporation of the prohibition against genocide: 18 U.S.C § 1091; U.S. law incorporation of the prohibition against wantonly destroying infrastructure 18 U.S.C § 2441 which incorporates by reference Geneva Convention IV art. 147.

This is going around from a planespotter in UK ~40 minutes ago. Just to pre-bunk some things: - The cruise missiles on the pylons are JASSMs (conventional-only), not AGM-86 (nuclear-only). - AGM-86 is a good deal longer (thus not two rows in line), and different livery <more>

qualified immunity is a scourge

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

Just in time for Trump's scheduled war crimes, Bellingcat has updated our tool for identifying damaged buildings and structures in satellite imagery, ideally for investigating atrocities in Iran. Full details here: www.bellingcat.com/resources/20...

AZ needs to do this

Here are the stories of some of the human beings who died horrific deaths from preventable disease because Trump and Musk and their flunkies decided to murder them by gleefully destroying USAID and the entire global aid system:

Todd Lyons was ICE "Acting Director" when he issued the secret May 2025 memo blessing home searches without a judicial warrant. Search victims now say his appointment violated the Fed Vacancies Reform. Act. At some point Lyons' title changed to “Senior Official Performing the Duties of Director.”

the kids must have loved this

Followup: I was talking about US-owned infrastructure and Iran and its proxies' targeting, do you want to change your answer?

the problems have to be acknowledged, but a heading claiming "GenAI/LLMs are not actually useful" is absurdly, wildly false

A reliable metric for a losing war: notice how often a combatant describes inputs (ordinance dropped, resources committed, duration of operation) as a substitute for outputs (effects a military operation is intending to produce).

I saw a piece of software periodically (but rarely) crash for years. I recently changed my process accounting monitoring to alert on memory violations, processor traps, and core dumps as well as pledge/unveil violations. I collected a few memory violation logs.

WSJ has a piece on the merchant sailors stuck aboard ships inside Hormuz. There are 20,000 of them (many from less privileged nationalities), effectively held hostage and running out of food. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

There you go @nytimes.com

It’s time to post one of my favorite memes of the year.

Given the report that Iran is getting plenty of imagery from China, this is likely an attempt to prevent visibility on how significant the damage is on the US side.

“It’s honestly been eye opening (in a bad way) to see how special interests work in our system” says the Head of Politics at Kalshi, which pays Donald Trump Jr. to sit on its advisory board and has spent over a million in lobbying over the past ~year.

at the risk of going full reddit atheist even in the context of all the more directly horrible stuff they're doing, i find this stuff coming from government accounts absolutely stomach churning

If this is true, it's yet another example of how US foreign policy puts the US in a position where it has to ask China for favors.

Trump's DOJ just ended its prosecution of the bank that helped Iran dodge U.S. sanctions, as what looks like a favor to his dictator buddy Erdogan. Trump sacrificed U.S. servicemembers' lives and spiked gas prices to attack Iran, but he lets Iran's bankers off scot-free. It's all a grift.

sounds like Trump is saying he's the king of hell, add this to the Antichrist points

philosopher robert nozick made the same point much more verbosely

It looks very much someone made a bunch of public online flashcards with sensitive CBP info on them, like the gate codes to secure facilities. Anyone could have found them just by Googling. from @sammysussman.bsky.social

I hope this is driving home to folks that anti-DEI/anti-woke are functioning mostly as a way to make racism more palatable by framing it as a kind of defensive reaction to an imagined unfairness.

An upcoming TPUSA rally in Phoenix with President Trump appears to be part of a larger effort to collect voter data by a new non profit led by Amy Smith, who is married to a former state lawmaker and Turning Point staffer who forged petition signatures. www.kjzz.org/politics/202...

Funny since I just finished reading Forget the Alamo about the real story of the Alamo including the Disneyfication of Crockett, which is clearly the only version Trump knows.

There’s actually no reason Raskin shouldn’t do this. Dems should be doing press hits all the time instead of hiding out.

Big news: ICE now has spyware, the agency's acting director confirms.

Set aside time to read this Wired unmasking of BORTAC goons. Here's a predictable detail: One of them sells testosterone supplements. Somewhere the Red Flag Nanny was caught sleeping. www.wired.com/story/border...

www.azfamily.com/2026/03/31/i... ICE is proving it cannot run a detention facility without a body count. Why allow them to open more, and thereby kill more? 🤯

The warehouse in Surprise is one of the purchases that went through, city officials have been nothing but complicit and the mayor said this week he has no intention of barring DHS from accessing city water for the concentration camp. Keep holding their asses to the fire.
