U.S. Suffers Additional Casualties In War It Won Last Week

BREAKING: The Pentagon is sending thousands of Marines to the Middle East. The same strategy used with the first wave of Marines sent to Vietnam. You can bet your mortgage that Barron Trump isn't in that unit. Trump is launching a ground invasion to prevent accountability for the Epstein files.

Colman Domingo wearing a silk suit on Hot Ones. Although silk is often used for cream dinner jackets, you rarely see it as a suit today. Silk suits, particularly in slubby Dupioni, were more popular in the 1920s and '60s. Makes for a very chic spring look (if you can find it).

eating microplastics on purpose bc i dont want my body to decompose when i die

Mutual aid is second nature to this community. Their homes may be changed forever, but we will do our best to make sure they feel safe and rebuild here in Kankakee County. We’re all in this together.

The Trump Administration is betraying every American who relies on the Great Lakes. The President must uphold his stated commitment and deliver the federal funds for the Brandon Road Interbasin Project. Illinois has done its part — it’s past time he does his.

When we strengthen our workforce, we expand economic mobility for all our communities. Today, I'm signing an Executive Order to establish the Illinois State Attainment Working Group to prepare them for the jobs of the future while supporting long-term economic growth statewide.

Dumbo doped up on catch phrases. Jackass.

i am genuinely astonished by how this guy speaks exclusively in cliches

Why are we at war? What’s the plan? What’s the timeline? What’s the exit strategy? We don’t know because they keep changing the story. youtube.com/shorts/6YNc0...

Here's a very helpful photo with the features labeled from Audrey Mauldin in Laurel, Md.

Ok got to a better spot We have both sundogs, a full halo, and an inverted halo! Incredibly rare - don't think I've ever seen the inverted before @capitalweather.bsky.social

What an incredible + RARE sky around 8:30a. These photos by Chris Hager and Luke Fisher show super impressive display of atmospheric optics, including bright sun dogs on either side of the sun along with halos and arcs above. They form as sunlight passes thru ice crystals in high clouds.

One of the most extraordinary sequences in DC weather history played out Wed & Thurs, as the region experienced record heat, severe t'storms, a stunning temp plunge, snow & then sunshine. It was a remarkable bout of weather whiplash. FULL STORY: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

Showers and storms are likely at some point Monday aftn into eve in the DC area, but will they be severe? A few key ingredients are coming together to fuel the potential for severe storms, and NWS is bullish on the chances. However, there are details that could still change. More info at cwg.live

Six of the seven members of the G7 vote to hold firm on Russian sanctions. Then there is Trump, whose conduct cannot be explained in normal state-interest analysis. www.faz.net/aktuell/poli...

Zeke Hausfather: El Niño is coming, and it is shaping up to be a big one. Over at The Climate Brink I've put together a compilation of the latest forecasts by different modeling groups. They suggest that we might see an event comparable in strength to what we saw in 2016.

Robert A. Pape: Seizing Kharg would block Iran oil exports— but means more oil off the global market, further increasing oil prices and inflation on US consumers. It wont prevent Iran’s drone from hitting tankers. Escalation continues to favor Iran and its long war strategy.

Indeed, there is already reason to believe they are doing it. Is it legal?

“Our instinct at the firm is, every time we hear about another attack, we need to see the chat logs because there’s [a good chance] that AI was deeply involved…”

#ai harms to society. Causing/encouraging physical Attacks. Clusterfkkkk and deaths

This is why all those quadrillionaire tech-bros are lunatics. #musk #thiel #yarvin

Geezus #ai clusterfkkkk

“Edelson says his law firm receives one ‘serious inquiry a day’ from someone who has lost a family member to AI-induced delusions or is experiencing severe mental health issues of their own.”

Look wake up this is serious. Chatbots are driving people insane. It's happening to people you don't think of as mad people. This is a serious danger of the technology that should majorly concern you. It's not safe for vulnerable people, & you don't want to find out the hard way that's you.

At the very least let’s make a constitution test mandatory for ALL congressional candidates!

Ric Grenell to be replaced by the ghost of Albert Speer as Trump prepares another Kennedy Center shake up. www.cnn.com/2026/03/13/p...

This is the same guy I noticed last night. The suspicious part, to me, is a feed of mostly selfies, the odd stand up bit and then nothing but anti-Kat content.

This type of thing is increasingly happening with political discourse.

The thing is, this type of dark money campaign equals larger algorithmic manipulation. In seeding this as though it's a popular conversation, this group ends up encouraging platforms to serve up both its paid influencers and organic opponents of the candidate.

I just noticed this guy posts this morning. I have asked him if he's part of this deal. He is telling followers this was unpaid and has a relatively small audience so perhaps it is just his thing. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTh3Y8bpC/eh

Mikaela Shiffrin: the most successful alpine skier in history. + First/only alpine skier to reach 100 World Cup (WC) wins now w/108 (could be 109 tomorrow) + 4 Olympic medals (3 gold); most-decorated US Olympic alpine skier + 15 World Championship medals, 8 gold She was born #OTD in 1995. #WHM

San Antonio congressman Joaquín Castro is a huge credit to the Alamo City and a demonstration that being a member of Congress, properly conceived, is doing service to constituents... as selflessly as a politician can. In a sea of charlatans, he's a keeper.

Do these guys think "Orwellian" is a compliment? www.goodreads.com/quotes/6146-...

He thinks MAGA force of will somehow twists God's arm and extends God's permission forever. It doesn't, and can't. God has promised so.

Certainly agree that “just getting along” isn’t the answer

Applies to Donald as well.

True, also ignorance is not an excuse nor a legal defense. He's the "Secretary of War" and commands all U.S. troops. If he doesn't know what he's doing is illegal, he shouldn't have accepted the position.

And the elements of the war crime of denial of quarter from the Rome Statute which the USG regarded to be generally consistent with customary international law and which would likely inform interpretation of the offense under the US War Crimes Act.

From the "High Command Case" at Nuremberg:

And as a fun related legal fact, the failure of a commander to punish war crimes by his subordinates is also a war crime under the doctrine of command responsibility. Published by the Naval War College in 2021: digital-commons.usnwc.edu/ils/vol97/is...

"Declaring that no quarter will be given" is specifically prohibited by Art 23 of the Annex to the Hague Convention IV, which means it is a war crime under US domestic law by virtue of the War Crimes Act (18 U.S. Code § 2441).

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
