Ezra Klein: Donald Trump's tearing our country apart in the right way.

The Cubs could win it all again this year. And maybe if we do we can this country and the world off of the awful timeline we got it onto 10 years ago. Here's our hype video for this season. Go Cubs!

Lawsuit against ICE from ACLU of Ohio alleges warrantless arrests, arrests of citizens, other abuses ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/03/26/l...

For a decade, Lindsey Graham has been one of the biggest enablers of this repugnant racism and xenophobia, all while representing a state with a large Black population. Lindsey Graham needs to go in the November election.

Trump: "I used a mail-in ballot. You know why? Because I'm President of the United States and because of the fact that I'm President of the United States, I did a mail-in ballot."

Trump views everything about the presidency and our government like it's The Apprentice. He always has.

Mwah-mwah Trump-backed Utah redistricting repeal fails to make ballot In a blow to Republicans, an initiative that would repeal an anti-gerrymandering law will not be on Utah’s ballot this fall.

New Hampshire has always loved Pete. Also, the base of the Democratic Party is largely absent from New Hampshire. Also, New Hampshire should never again go first because of the second sentence.

Seeing @jaketapper.bsky.social having to broadcast in podbro fashion from his office that looks like his mom's basement is poetic justice after his journalistic malpractice during the Trump-Vance administration.

a what of your what now

Latino Support for Trump Is Fading in California Farm Country As in other Hispanic areas of the country, voters shifted toward Republicans in 2024. But there are increasing signs that this was a blip more than a durable trend. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/u...

It became unsecret because he torn down the East Wing of the White House in public view. And because he publicly bragged about his ballroom. But weak legacy media figures like @jaketapper.bsky.social act like this sundowning isn't happening right in front of their very eyes.

He's sundowning in the morning, @jaketapper.bsky.social, but you have absolutely no interest in this because he's Trump.

Trump calls on Bessent, and Bessent promptly starts kissing Trump's ass

Paul LePage’s voting address is at a barber shop and a rental car agency. Mine is the same home for over 30 years. You can't Enterprise-rent-a-car your way back to Maine, Paul. You're a Florida man now and it's time you went home for good. #mepolitics www.pressherald.com/2026/03/26/p...

His acolytes around him laugh at the stupidest, most unfunny things he says like the other mobsters did along with Joe Pesci's character in Goodfellas.

Today's one of the best days of the year: MLB Opening Day. Don't let Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Miller, et al. steal your joy. That's what they want. Intentionally seeking out joy is an act of resistance.

I am so wiped out today, I think from allergies. If you've ever watched the Masters golf tournament on TV, that's the kind of fauna we have here in Columbia, SC, an hour plus away from it. It's gorgeous. And it also makes me worn out from allergies every spring.

Massive airport lines across the country are going viral after Republicans blocked 10 bills to fund the TSA.

Just a reminder if you are calling Warren to bitch about her Platner endorsement make sure you mention that you will not be donating to her campaigns and you will support primary challengers. www.warren.senate.gov/contact/offi...

The man thinks he was building a ballroom that was somehow invisible, @jaketapper.bsky.social. Also, he's talking yet again about his invisible ballroom. But yet you wasted your time writing a book on Biden's mental state instead.

Anecdotal political reporters act like we run every presidential election from scratch. Elections are driven by partisan identification and economic & other fundamentals. Unless Dems do something crazy like nominating Platner for president, I can tell you right now how most voters will vote in 2028.

Trump administration officials are examining what a potential spike in oil prices as high as $200 a barrel would mean for the economy, a sign senior officials are studying the possible fallout from extreme scenarios for the Iran war. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump's face is drooping and his eyes are closed

After calling Somalis “garbage,” the Trump administration is now rigging the legal system against them.  A new lawsuit warns that Trump’s “blitz” on Somali dockets makes a fair hearing impossible. 

The Pentagon, for the first time in decades, has no plans to release a much-anticipated review of its troop placement abroad — a move that snubs lawmakers and U.S. allies, who use the analysis to determine budgets and discern American military policy. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Conservative activist Robert George cannot be allowed to transform American higher ed into his biased, morally perverted, Hegsethian vision for it.

For every five dollars the government receives in tax revenue, one dollar is spent on servicing the national debt www.apolloacademy.com/debt-service...

This isn’t Christian. This is pure evil. No one is beyond mercy. God’s justice is his mercy. AP: “At Pentagon Christian service, Hegseth prays for violence ‘against those who deserve no mercy.” apnews.com/article/pete...

Pope Leo to new Archbishop of Canterbury: “I firmly believe that we need to continue to dialogue in truth and love, for it is only in truth and love that we come to know together the grace, mercy and peace of God, and thus can offer these precious gifts to the world.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

We’re a world away from the Vatican’s investigation of women religious under Benedict XVI.

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

“‘Mind-blowing corruption’: Traders placed massive bets minutes before Trump post on Iran “Who was it? Trump? A family member? A White House staffer?” asked Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social: www.commondreams.org/news/traders...

“This glimpse into the trove of evidence behind the coverup reveals a President of the United States who may have sold out our national security to enrich himself,” @raskin.house.gov says: people.com/trump-classi...

Throughout much of the post-reform era, South Carolina has played a unique role early in the Republican presidential nomination process. However, part of what has differentiated the South Carolina primary will be different in 2028. FHQ explains here... www.fhqplus.com/p/winner-take

“Healthy food advocate Dr. Casey Means, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s choice for surgeon general, currently lacks enough Republican support to advance her nomination, according to people familiar with the matter…The standstill leaves no obvious path for Means to be confirmed.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

“.. They have to treat the President like a child,” wrote Rep. Seth Magaziner. “So embarrassing for everyone involved.” @mediaite.com www.mediaite.com/media/news/m...

The US-fled liberal order

This kind of thing, and the media's breathless reporting of it, is b.s. @kamalaharris.com nearly won in the most difficult environment a Democrat has faced since at least Mondale & outperformed incumbent parties around the world. Donors & this generation of reporters need to understand context.

The support for Trump's immigration policies among white Catholics in the new @prri.org survey shows again the lack of knowledge of the faith or willingness to follow it among conservative Catholics. Parishes need to redouble their efforts to get conservatives to follow the Church's teachings.

Moreover, Democrats must emphatically oppose mass arrest and inhumane detention of nonviolent undocumented immigrants. Democrats should not tolerate the regime’s familiar stratagem of changing its rhetoric but not its policies. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Always remember that the Vice President of the United States, James David Vance, has denied that there's a growing antisemitism problem among young people in the Republican Party.

Few schools have played footsie with the authoritarianism of Trump & Vance as much as Ohio State has under its disgraced now-former President Ted Carter & his "wingman" Gordon Gee. It got them nothing. Trump & Vance are now investigating admissions at the OSU College of Medicine.

Great piece from Jennifer Rubin in today's @contrariannews.org, citing PRRI's latest survey on immigration attitudes -- out today! Check out Rubin's piece and the survey report itself @prri.org. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
