No oil means no electricity. No electricity means no water pumps. No running water means no sanitation. No power for hospitals. No fuel for ambulances. No refrigeration for drugs. Mass death soon follows. This is a crime against humanity.

Periodic reminder that gross negligence in office can be an impeachable offense and elected Republicans can end this any time they wish

Oh wow, the thing that literally everyone warned Trump's people would happen is happening, how crazy.

What’s funny is Iran doesn’t even need to do a thing on US soil they just need to call in bomb threats to the Olympics and World Cup and white house lawn UFC championship and every other public gathering for the next three years and watch us fuck ourselves

"Welcome back, we're coming to you live from the has a small penis theater... let's see him put his name in front of that"

In 20 years, ‘Sinners’ will still mean something. That’s my opinion

CONAN: “For the first time since 2012 no British people are nominated for Best actor or best Actress… a British spokesperson commented, ‘Yeah, well, at least we arrest our pedophiles.’" #Oscars

It was robbed.

Trump is getting more surly and reckless and at some point he’s going to call a female reporter a c—t, or a minority reporter a n—er, and we’re going to all witness one of the most fantastic episodes of right-wing rhetorical gymnastics as FOX and talk radio justify and blame-shift.

Why would anyone ever help this country again?

Hegseth: This is not a battle for [sneers] hearts and minds Unnamed Israeli officials: I don't understand, why aren't the people we've bombed overthrowing their government for us

Who in their right mind would want to come here now?

I don't think "people" would be dropping Trump in the doo doo if "people" thought that any of this would be easily easily solved www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Officials are normally presented with ceremonial swords or paintings or whatever. But these guys are so fucking stupid that foreign intelligence agencies can literally give them an "Honorary Electronic Communications Device for a Very Special Boi" and they fall for it every time.

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Oh damn that goes hard.

why are bees doing brutalism

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers. Jared Kushner holds no government position at all. He is not a Senate-confirmed political appointee & his "special peace envoy" job is completely fake. This is wildly illegal & unconstitutional nepotistic corruption. Stop normalizing it in the papers.

✋ 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.

Hmmm, what a smart idea.

I'm telling you, boring old lawyers are now going to ABA panels to applaud hostile retorts to MAGA panelists and yell "you're a clown" at them. A whole lot of people who merely furrowed their brows at Trump I are now seething with rage, and the Dem consultant class needs to wake up to that.

Pete "No Quarter" Hegseth is an explicit believer in the notion that warcrimes are the path to victory. Congress needs to repeal the Hague invasion act, join the ICC, and pack Hegseth into a little box to go stand trial for his crimes

Weird. “DeBiase” doesn’t sound like a Somalian name.

“Fuck! I’m dying!” during a press conference. “Fuck! I’m fucking dying! Oh God, it hurts! Ahhhhhhh!” Trump said in response to a question about the ongoing war in Iran

Pete Hegseth Questions What Girls Were Doing In School To Begin With https://theonion.com/pete-hegseth-questions-what-girls-were-doing-in-school-to-begin-with/

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Declaring that no quarter will be given is straightforwardly prohibited under international humanitarian law. When done to threaten an adversary, the declaration itself amounts to a war crime. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...

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.

"President Trump will hit the home run, score the touchdown and win the marathon. He will bring home the bacon AND fry it up in a pan. He will bring in the funk, he will kick out the jams. And I assure you -- he will, he will rock you."

The people who made this must be removed not only from the White House, not only from power, not only from "polite society," but also from every single public institution, every university, every cafe, every miniature golf course.

“This technology disrupts humanities-trained—largely Democratic—voters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters.” —Palantir CEO Alex Karp newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

Just stumbling around trying to figure out how the world works.

Pete Hegseth spent $2 million on Alaskan king crab, $7 million on lobster tail, and $15.1 million on ribeye steak in just one month. — But please, tell me again how the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security are bleeding this country dry.

It's VERY clear what RFK Jr's MAHA movement wants Jay Bhattacharya said he's waited all his life for RFK Jr's MAHA movement to come along & in his talk at Duke he said he was turning NIH into the "research arm of MAHA" It was NEVER about freaking Red Dye 40; it's about "eliminating vaccines"

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

It's all there. All of the bullshit claims about emergencies and national security threats. The goal all along was to give Trump the power to deploy the military domestically to suppress dissent and crush MAGA's enemies. These are dangerous people. They're now in the highest levels of government.

This is just astonishingly great reporting. All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them. And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

The trailer for EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY. In select theaters starting April 17th 🍿🤑🤣

These people are, to be blunt, substantially less intelligent than they believe they are.

Every day the economic experts get up and are like “we think today is the day the racists will use logic”

Well, the attack on Iran will end up killing thousands and raise gas prices while strengthening Russia, but at least it won't distract from the fact that the President of the United States raped children. Jesus Christ, we are in hell.

Simple as that! Brian Kilmeade tells oil tankers to go through the Strait of Hormuz: “Show some guts and go through that strait and and do it”

how does this work in practice save for long-term occupation which, lol, lmao

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

Why not get one more coffee and pastry before the World Economy collapses
