Since it's racist Randy Fine,I think there's a subtext here beyond difference of opinion.

Trump family-linked financial group probed by congressional committee over Chinese stock scams Republican-led House committee on China demands information from Dominari Securities and two other firms

"Trump family-linked financial group [Dominari Securities] probed by congressional committee over Chinese stock scams"

GOP-led committee.

And Dominari is central to so much of Don Jr. and Eric's latest business, um, endeavors.

And their only frame for thinking about anything is violence.

Trump Administration Moves to Allow Intelligence Agencies Easier Access to Law Enforcement Files “None of this has been thought through very carefully,” one official said of the plans, which upend long-standing restrictions meant to protect Americans’ privacy.

Granting the intelligence community access to large amounts of law enforcement data on citizens “puts Americans’ freedoms at risk,” Sen. Ron Wyden said of the administration’s plan. “The potential for abuse of that information is staggering.”

These pediatrician moms have a shared message: Release all children in immigration detention They didn’t know each other at the beginning of the year. Now these medical professionals text daily in their effort to advocate for the well-being of migrant children.

They warn that the detention of these children is causing severe and lasting harm to their mental and physical health, and say that emerging reports of kids allegedly facing delayed and inadequate medical care demands urgency and transparency.

Spring break travel may be chaos. Here’s how to prepare. Airport TSA lines are long, gas prices are increasing and some international travel is off the table.

Good morning team.

A reminder that DHS is still unfunded. Plan your spring break accordingly.

Two pairs of beavers released in Cornwall by wildlife trust Wildlife experts say the release is a "landmark" for nature recovering in Cornwall and nationally.

Enjoy a full minute of beavers being released into the wild in Cornwall. These little fluffbutts are the first to swim in these waters in a very, very long time - the last official records of beavers in the wild in England are from the 1300s. BBC buff.ly/BnMwCOx

In the chaos in Iran, you might have missed the news that Russia's operational momentum has slowed, even reversed, on the frontlines in Ukraine.

One of my early lessons in power was that if you've got it, you don't need to flaunt it. These guys did not have my mentor.

Exclusive: U.S. dismissed Ukraine deal for anti-Iran drone tech last year Snubbing Ukraine's offer ranks as one of the U.S.'s biggest tactical miscalculations before the war, officials say.

'Nearly 7 months ago, Ukrainian officials tried to sell the U.S. their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made attack drones. The Trump administration dismissed the Ukrainians, only to reverse course last week.' www.axios.com/2026/03/10/u...

This warms my heart.

where is that brave GOP Congressman who will speak this truth, (that the President is not wrapped real tight, is a few bricks shy of a load and/or is half a bubble off plumb)

Nixon might have survived but for Alexander Butterfield’s acknowledgment of the secret taping system. It began a yearlong fight for the release of the tapes that ultimately doomed the pathological liar.

Doesn't fucking matter which is the "better writer" bc only 1 is human writing. When I read, I position the writer & myself in similarities & contrasts of time & place, &relate the art to the artist. The human behind the words reaches across time to connect w/us. Reading is a human–human act.

Fire department turns down $250,000 Google donation amid data center fight An Oklahoma fire department turned down a significant donation from Google.

I follow the news around local data center resistance fairly closely. This one stands out.

I suppose. He loves to fuck around with ambiguous and contradictory statements. We've been trying to analyze them for a decade now, and I have no more patience for it. Just call his bluff. Every time.

Trump has been relatively restrained in not tweeting nuclear destruction against others in his second term. But he's just gone back to "Death, Fire, and Fury" in his latest against Iran.

It's hard to know what that represents in his mind - it could represent a nuclear strike, but maybe not.

That's the whole of the negotiation. I'm not saying you're wrong.

Talarico seems to come out of a tradition of Christian liberalism in the mainline churches, although some of it shows up in the evangelical branch of Protestantism too. It had its heyday in the 1960s but never completely disappeared.

For those of us who were in the churches back then, it looks good

I'd like to know more about this latest snafu, but I'll note that the offer of a technical plan by the Iranians is similar to what they did in the JCPOA negotiations. It seemed to me to be a real step forward. Too bad Jared and Steve didn't know that.

I keep saying it, but the JCPOA team included 150 subject-matter experts, mainly on nuclear and sanctions issues. I expect Jared and Steve to know precisely nothing about the nuclear side. Probably the sanctions too.

Thanks for quoting me!

Yes, uranyl fluoride is poisonous. It's very soluble and will probably disperse relatively quickly. If it's on the surface, it may photochemically degrade to the much less soluble UF4.

I wrote about that. Marty has written about some other aspects.

Could be. He loves to mislead.

He's just babbling. He probably thinks it's a brand name, like Nabisco or Trump.

This is what Trump thinks of as smart negotiating. Keep 'em guessing. It's a crap strategy if you want to work with people again because it destroys trust. It might work in real estate if you have a lot of money, but it's vile way for a president to conduct war.

there is a very good chance that Iran backs off the strait if Trump backs off the bombing.
