Hahahaha re "new golden era" - war at home and abroad, rising prices, skyrocketing debt, freedom-crushing authoritarianism tightening its grip. It may be the golden era for Trump's family and the other grifters making a mint from the regime's epic corruption, but not for the rest of us.

The supremely corrupt Trump funnels taxpayer dollars to his friends and family. This is just the latest. apnews.com/article/trum...

Looks like it was a narco trafficking compound in exactly the same way Alex Pretti was a domestic terrorist.

“Here is what Trump expected when he started bombing Iran: its regime would collapse or surrender within 72 hours. “That was Plan A. “Plan B did not exist, which means Trump is scrambling to get back to what existed before Plan A.” Via @edwardluce.bsky.social giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Former MN Gov and WWE wrestler Jesse Ventura says Vince and Linda McMahon inducted Trump into the WWE Hall of Fame as a quid pro quo for Trump having DOJ kill federal sex charges against Vince.

Democrats have been clear all along. We want to immediately fund TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, CISA & core DHS functions while negotiations continue to rein in ICE & CBP. Senate Republicans have blocked us ELEVEN times.

The Supreme Court refuses to review an odious 5th Circuit decision granting qualified immunity to Texas officials who arrested a citizens-journalist in retaliation against her posing questions to public officials. Sotomayor has an appropriately furious dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

WTAF? Where does THIS billion come from? Why kill wind projects just when the impact of our dependence on fossil fuels is devastatingly clear?

Prosecutors who left the U.S. attorney’s offices said they were alarmed to see the lengths their former colleagues were going to pursue dubious cases. “You’re just losing credibility with the court, and ... credibility with the public,” one said.

GOP Senators John Kennedy and Ted Cruz devised this off-ramp, Kennedy says on Fox: "Senator Thune submitted that to President Trump. As is his right, he said no. ‘No deals with the Democrats.’ It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week. But the president said no deal."

Our media discourse has long assumed that right-wing-populist-coded policies express the deeper yearnings of the American volk. But as I try to argue in this piece, that story has been totally discredited by the public's widespread rejection of the major tenets of Trumpism:

This is incredibly irresponsible journalism. You cannot write this headline without acknowledging all the times Elon Musk has promised to pay for things, then didn't. Let's take a stroll down memory lane. 🧵

Because the culture of violence at DHS is not sufficiently brutal?

4D CHESS!

MAGA family values! Trump Friend Asked ICE to Detain the Mother of His Child www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/u...

Conspicuous corruption

WHOA. Lewandowski is accused of demanding fees from a private prison company to steer them ICE contracts, at a time when he was widely known to be running DHS on Kristi Noem's behalf, then punishing them when they didn't pay up. Congress should conduct a full and bipartisan investigation into this.

In just one example of the entirely preventable crisis facing Dreamers, the admin abducted a #DACA recipient as he was on his way to visit his newborn in NICU. Juan Chavez Velasco told agents that he has DACA. “That doesn’t matter,” they responded.

"a corrupt fox guarding the henhouse"

BREAKING: Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans just advanced the nomination of MAGA extremist Dan Bishop to serve as US Attorney for the Middle District of NC. Part of a disturbing trend of unqualified Trump loyalists being installed into these offices. His nomination now heads to the floor.

"Overwhelmingly" seems a bit of a stretch for a guy who got less than 50 percent of the popular vote

The regime sends a warning to potential defectors

Hail to the peace president!

No dissent from dear leader's self-aggrandizing demands!

Excited to see this recognition for @karimzidan.com and his forthcoming book. Congratulations, Karim! nieman.harvard.edu/danah-boyd-k...

In the months since I announced I was writing a book about MMA and strongman politics, Trump has really gone out of his way to prove my premise www.sportspolitika.news/p/kristi-noe...

Nailed it.

MSNBC reveals dark money group "Democracy Unmuted" has been paying influencers $1,500 per negative post about Kat Abughazaleh One post from TheWokeGinger, with over 1,000,000 followers, recited whole sentences from the Democracy Unmuted brief

The 2026 National Science Foundation budget is $8.75 Billion.

That's about half of what it cost for USAID for a whole year www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.

Trump officials privately pessimistic there's a strategy to end war, but they fear telling this to Trump, NYT reports. On the pod, @profsaunders.bsky.social brilliantly explains how this shows perils of "personalist" rule and the total absence of constraints on him: newrepublic.com/article/2076...

Trump laser-focused on affordability as always -->

This is about twice NOAA’s annual budget.

Ready for more talk about Trump's anointing?

Pete Hegseth's religion is central to how he thinks about war.

Devastating reporting. Like RFK Jr., Kristi Noem, and Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth is reshaping his department to indiscriminately kill tons and tons of children. A major throughline of the Trump administration.

Satisfying to see @davidjbier.bsky.social absolutely dogwalk Sen. Kennedy here. Kennedy is so far gone he doesn’t even seem to realize the “Blue-ski” posts he’s reading are the consensus view of most Americans and not some Marxist smoking gun or something.

This is the same level of stupidity and ignorance that is currently judging exhibits at the Smithsonian and National Park Service.

Hey, it's the "most transparent" administration ever breaking the law to hide information about its mass surveillance technologies, then lying about their lawbreaking.

"“This is a story about the DOJ during the Trump administration, a story of deep corruption where no staff attorney, no staff economist, no witness, and no juror can tell what is going to happen because it’s all decided in some smoke-filled back room.”" prospect.org/2026/03/09/l...

This is such a classic dictator trope — forcing subordinates to copy your style — that I thought it couldn’t possibly be real. Think Mao Zedong and the “Mao Suit,” or Saddam Hussein and “The Mustache", or Joseph Stalin and the “Generalissimo” outfit.

From @petemontdc.com and @peoplefor.bsky.social, charismatic Christians are super excited about Trump sharing prophecies about him on Truth Social www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...
