This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
A shocking number of people responding to this video clearly did not watch the video. David is extremely opposed to the Trump administration's terrorization of immigrant communities. He is describing serious problems with the current laws which make accountability difficult.
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
Trump can walk away from this “little excursion” as he now calls it, but I have a feeling that Iran isn’t going to let bygones be bygones for a few more decades.
Jesus.
Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off
Reporter: You promised the Iranian people you would help them.
Trump: Will I help them? I'd like to, if they can behave, but they've been very menacing,
Trump speaking after markets close is usually a sign he’ll say something bad for the economy, and the White House communications team doesn’t want a graph with the line going down and blaring red numbers with a minus sign on the screen with him when he does.

He went from “unconditional surrender” and “I must pick their new leader” to full “just declare victory and get the hell out” TACO Trump.
Not Putin though. He’s one of the good guys now I guess. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
The Republican Party:
"For the next phase of my career, I look forward to some independence and finding new spaces to share my work in line with my personal goals."
Another CBS News journalist leaving and talking about independence. Bit of a not-so-subtle hint at what's happening over there.

US CITIZEN Sunny Naqvi, born & raised outside Chicago, 2 other citizens & 3 legal residents were detained at O'Hare Airport.
CBP took Sunny to Broadview Detention, then moved her to a Wisconsin facility & finally abandoned her at a gas station after 2 days of lies to her family & police.
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
When are we going to get the results of the Pentagon investigating itself on whether they bombed a girls school while using AI?
Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…
Hey Siri, is this bad?
Just throwing anything at the wall at this point
The upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election could be critical for voting rights, but it has had a lower profile compared to previous races. A recent poll found that 93 percent of voters in the state have heard “little” or “nothing” about it.
the most important state election of early 2026 is right around the corner… though you’d never know it by the attention it’s receiving.
here’s hoping this bolts article helps jumpstart a little more chat!
U.S. Central Command @CENTCOM CENTCOM Update TAMPA, Fla. – Last night, a U.S. service member passed away from injuries received during the Iranian regime’s initial attacks across the Middle East. The service member was seriously wounded at the scene of an attack on U.S. troops in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on March 1. This is the seventh service member killed in action during Operation Epic Fury. Major combat operations continue. The identity of the fallen warrior will be withheld until 24 hours after next of kin notification. 7:29 PM · Mar 8, 2026 · 510.5K Views

Yes what frickin' cowards for not taking to the streets while the US and Israel are bombing the crap out of the country and even promising a big increase in the bombing. Just F these guys.
Tweet from Daniel Pipes: "The uprising in Iran in early January suggested an even greater insurgency would then follow on the U.S.-Israeli campaign to erode regime power. Yet, the populace now appears cowed into near-silence. This ranks as the most surprising and disappointing development of the past week. Without a new uprising, the regime will likely remain in power, less powerful but more awful than ever. (The picture below is from Jan. 10 in Tehran.)"
Amazing how quickly "We're fighting this war for freedom of the Iranian people" becomes "The Iranian people are at fault for not rising up."
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game
