Jake Tapper did his part, too. I wonder how his book tour is going.

AIPAC is not a foreign lobbying group. It's American, sadly. More recently it seems to have been fully captured by the right wing and evangelicals.

I think it added me again. I got another notification that I was added.

Please remove me from this list. It's way too simplistic to capture my views.

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

I kinda hope someone tells him this is happening and that is because JD Vance is trying to get him out of the way. I could see him trying to take JD down with him if it sticks.

Hey if anyone is able to keep that going, more power to ya.

I think they eliminated the free subs didn't they?

Also Axios for publishing the ramblings of a senile old man who pretty much always lies. They had the gall to claim a "scoop" when Trump said Iran is "about to surrender."

I'm sure this won't have a Streisand effect.

I maintain that Joe's dog knew something.

Is that a thing they'd do? I sort of doubt it. My kids say I should be embarrassed to go near a Target, but I think the money was already spent. Maybe they sell Visa cards or something like Safeway does. I haven't been there in a long time

And if it were to pass, he’s setting himself up to steal the election. He’s going to lie about voter fraud & try to claim the election is “rigged” regardless, because that’s what the far right authoritarian party has done for decades now.

Pope Leo takes another swipe at Trump over Iran war: ‘Go to confession’ Washington, D.C. Cardinal Robert McElroy said earlier this week that the U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran were ‘not morally legitimate’

“Pope Leo took a veiled swipe at President Donald Trump Friday, saying that Christian political leaders who start wars should go to confession and assess if they are following the teachings of Jesus.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I'm not going back. I'm trying to figure out what to do with a gift card from Target someone gave us but even that hasn't gotten me back in the store.

Ngl I'm impressed that you know his middle name.

You'd think! I doubt it'll happen tho. It's not really top of my or anyone's list. I'd be happy with saner immigration policy, a social safety net, and not funding war and murder around the globe, but yes making tax filing easy for most would be so easy to do if the political will existed.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Biden started direct file which made it easier. Trump shut it down. The h&r block and TurboTax lobby is too powerful. They oppose the government making filing taxes easy or letting the government just tell you what they think you owe and you pay or dispute it and file your own.

And as a fun related legal fact, the failure of a commander to punish war crimes by his subordinates is also a war crime under the doctrine of command responsibility.

Published by the Naval War College in 2021:

(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

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.

Median household income for CA in 2024 was around 100k. I'm not saying I agree with her & I'm not a Porter fan. Still, the data I saw indicated that any household making below 100k is in the bottom half.

Local Georgia woman charged with murder after taking abortion pills and giving birth in hospital By Madison Foglio, Action News Jax March 12, 2026 at 9:54 pm EDT non-shortened link https://www.actionnewsjax.com/news/local/georgia-woman-charged-with-murder-after-taking-abortion-pills-giving-birth-hospital/6GA7IHO7YNBCLC24BXHHBAV6XI/

Horrific. Georgia police charged a woman with murder after she allegedly used misoprostol. Hospital may have reported her.

@pregnancyjust.bsky.social calls it “an unprecedented murder charge for an alleged abortion, even though no law in the state of Georgia permits such a charge." bit.ly/46W2Ezb

People now remember the covid years fondly. "It wasn't that bad," "the govt sent us money," "I got to work from home," etc & forget how scary & terrible it was under Trump when he was asking if we could inject bleach. They also forget who was president & mismanaged it in 2020 & who voted for help.

This isn't a federal thing. It's another example of them saying what they want to do & everyone assuming they're all powerful. It's done county by county and there are many counties that would oppose most guardianships because guess who pays unless these veterans can? At least for now, it's bluster.

1. do you really think that no ethnic/religious minority has ever faced baseless persecution?

2. have you heard of...the entirety of Jewish Diaspora history?

3. just because "Israel" is in the congregation's name does not mean it has anything to do with the State of Israel. they're American Jews.

Wasn't there a US plane that crashed today in an accident that may have injured or killed some soldiers? Saying that he's in great spirits the same day that happened is appallingly tone deaf imo. I know Trump never pretended to care, but now his cabinet is mimicking his lies that all is great. 🤬

This one is my favorite. I can't stop laughing.

I thought it was a bit. Then I looked at that guy's account and uh... maybe it's not.

When he reads, he moves his lips and bobs his head up and down like a novice reader. It's disgusting that this guy was put in a position so far out of his depth merely because he's white and male.
