❗️🇺🇦🇺🇸 I told President Trump that we will have World War III. He did not hear me, but it will definitely happen if the war in the Middle East drags on, — Zelensky
"Ukraine has "cards". I think that a year ago we also had them, but we did not show them. These are the results of our military".

New Republic: Karoline Leavitt admits the Save Act will require married women to update their identity documents and re-register to vote before they can vote in 2026. Same for everyone who ever changed their name.
BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

This is one reason why everyone with a bar license should be lining up to do pro bono habeas petitions for detainees right now.
I know so many people who are doing this. A few hours of training and you will save lives and families.
Rand Paul: "I think we've gotten overextended. This is our second war in a month, and these wars are very very expensive not only in the lives that are lost, but also in treasure. I'm very very concerned about the debt. Half a trillion dollars for the military budget is fiscally irresponsible."
Marco Rubio asked Trump for permission to speak Spanish at the Shield Summit of the Americas, while Pete Hegseth insulted Spanish-speakers by claiming he “only speaks American.” My take on how Rubio’s continued bootlicking demeans the office & our country’s global standing.

Wahls: The war in Iran is going to be devastating for farm states like Iowa. You mentioned diesel — that is what the vast majority of farm machines, like tractors or combines, run on. And the cost of oil not only has a huge impact on fuel costs, it also has a huge impact on other farm inputs
In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing
BREAKING: Donald Trump just betrayed every fan who’s been exploited by Ticketmaster.
This fine is less than 1% of Live Nation’s revenue last year AND lets them continue to rip off fans with a 15% “Ticketmaster Tax." It's wrong.
We need to break up Ticketmaster and Live Nation.
Pretty much sums this mess up!
They must know some people. 🤡

U.S. Automakers Risk Being Reduced to Niche Producers of Gas Vehicles www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/b...
Well Boohoo automakers. You’ve hitched your wagons to Ratpublican politicians and they’re screwing you. As a company you’ve screwed your employees, you drive cost down buy building unreliable cars.
Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.
Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.
We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.
Charlotte Observer: When assemble-at-home furniture giant Prepac moved its headquarters and manufacturing from British Colombia to its new factory in Whitsett, NC in March, the state gave it huge grant and tax breaks, and mouthpieces celebrated the “TRUMP EFFECT”. Prepac has now gone broke.
By the time Trump is done, America’s only allies will be the dictatorships who sign up for the Board of Peace.
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon: “So he is using YOUR Tax Dollars to protect oil tankers from attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, which will cause gas prices to go up — because he started a war using YOUR Tax Dollars”
True, but, we need an English teacher to break out her synonym rolls and find one for “unhinged”. lol.
The adverb never grows old.
Yes, I know it’s not my place to editorialize.
I’m just babbling on an iPad.
