New: Trump officials formally unveil designs for president's planned 250-foot triumphal arch It would bear golden inscription — "One Nation Under God" — and be flanked by four golden lions Military veterans have sued to stop the project, saying it would harm views of Arlington National Cemetery

Crypto has done wonders for the net worth’s of Trump and his three known sons. Question I’ve had, though, is how could they convert their crypto holdings into actual cash? The coindesk article seems to lay out a possible off ramp. 5/5

Melania comes to the podium each day for the next week to make a new denial. "I know nothing about the Paula Abdul mystery plane crash" "I am not the subject of the song 'You Oughtta' Know" "I had nothing to do with Flight 370" "I am not Banksy." "I did not pay a lot for this muffler."

Good morning! Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates— 💰His net worth is up $2 billion, to $6.3 billion 💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million 💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million And Jared became a billionaire last year. Have a great day!

If only there was a website with all the info parents need to find child care in New York City, including a map with every licensed provider in each neighborhood… Oh wait! Now there is: nyc.gov/childcare

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

January 6th was a harbinger of what was to come. If Biden's DOJ had prosecuted the ringleader the world would look much different today, and the U.S. might appear less like a rogue state and more like a credible leader of the free world.🗽

For other democracies with surging populist movements, Hungary’s election will be instructive. Viktor Orban has pioneered a formula for entrenching the right in power that is now being put to the test

More Red Sea mind games.

Pretty impressive for a regime that was decimated and barely alive. Almost like the White House and Pentagon lied and now service members are risking their lives.

At the risk of being naïve. At the risk of getting egg on my face come June... I think Trump got shredded in the birthright citizenship case. And I think the Court only took the case TO shred him, and look reasonable by comparison. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

If you're @raskin.house.gov, how tempting is it to do a press hit today where you tell Pam Bondi this isn't goodbye forever, it's just a farewell until he's running House Judiciary next year and has the chance to subpoena her himself

Watts Township’s website says public comment is always welcome during their meetings, and they got it. On Wednesday night, the rural Perry County township nestled in the crook of the Susquehanna River held its own small part of the national debate over the construction of data centers. From WITF

If you follow any part of this story down a rabbit hole you will also learn about how many men abandon their GF/wives on trails either in a premeditated way or a fit of pique and man…that is why we pick the bear.

You can both be glad the Cuban people are getting a lifeline of power and also wonder why Trump is yet again helping Russia evade sanctions… www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/w...

#ChaosRecap for March 29, 2026

Almost as soon as the state House passed a bill to raise the minimum wage, the Employment Policies Institute began reaching out to reporters to share its view. But the group, which described itself as “a nonprofit research organization,” may not be what it seems.. From @iankarbal.bsky.social

Spain closes airspace to US planes involved in Iran war, defence minister says reut.rs/4lVVq4l

Every fucking player should be charged with assault. Why the fuck is it alright for dumb fucking hockey players to beat the shit out of each other? This is not allowed in other sports. Such fucking idiotic bullshit. Join the Marine's. Go to Iran. Fight in Trump's War. This Marine has spoken.

“You have to face the fact that the whole problem is really the Blacks,” the president told his chief of staff. “The key is to devise a system that recognizes this while not appearing to.”

Thank you! At an event last night I said "If the word hope doesn't work for you try, 'Never fucking surrender.'" The word hope seems too sunny to a lot of people, but the heart of it as I'm interested in it is: we make the future in the present, if we show up, and that never surrender part.

Not sure what this normies stuff is about but if you haven't noticed nice ladies do a lot of the activist work in this country and have since the abolitionist movement, you maybe should.

You know I was wondering what the head of the College Republicans at the one hundred and twenty first ranked law school in the US had to say about No Kings.

Cold and sunny in Ardmore PA, had over 2000 anyway! BE WITH YOUR PEOPLE WHEN YOU CAN!
