I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

WA income tax passes Senate, Ferguson expected to sign into law Most of the money generated by the tax would go to the state's general fund budget, which funds K-12 schools, human services and universities.

Trump calls the war with Iran "an excursion that will keep us out of a war."
He's completely detached from reality – mentally unfit to be president.
Republicans go along with the madness because it means temporary money and power to them while our country burns.

Damn: this is quite the thread from a policymaker with first-hand knowledge of the Trump admin's thinking (and lack thereof) when it comes to Iran.

The Unbelievable Madness of Our War With Iran Last year, I warned about the possibility that Israel might drag the United States into a regional conflict. What’s happening now is worse than I could have ever imagined.

Leaders around the world appear to be struggling to respond to an American administration that is no longer constrained by pretending to care about human lives, the law, or the cost of its hubris. trib.al/1Cwdk19

Kilauea's volcanic eruption is wild right now:

US Navy tells shipping industry Hormuz escorts not possible for now The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high...

So much winning.

Trump making every member of his cabinet wear the same ugly-ass pair of sneakers is proof we’re living in the dumbest timeline.

The administration’s war with Iran is setting a mountain of taxpayer dollars on fire every day—mostly because he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Trump Made Massive “Tactical Error” on Iran During Ukraine Talks One U.S. official described it as the biggest mistake Donald Trump made in the lead-up to the war.

The decision to snub the offer is now being discussed as one of the biggest miscalculations thus far in the Iran war.

“If there’s a tactical error or a mistake we made leading up to this [war in Iran], this was it,” a U.S. official told Axios Tuesday.

Tyler, these No Kings events build resistance and pressure cowardly members of Congress. They’re also rehearsals for the mass action that will be necessary if the regime cancels or rigs the midterms or invokes the Insurrection Act. They are part of a balanced resistance diet. Please reconsider.

I wish I could say I was surprised

Trump: I will bring gas prices down! I mean up. I mean down. I mean up…

Er, um, didn’t THEY drastically change their lives?

Why...did CNN do this

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

I think all he cares about is creating chaos with Other People’s Money. Oh, and raiding the treasury. (That’s Other People’s Money, too, of course.)

How is Trump's war stance resonating with Republicans? NPR's Steve Inskeep asks political consultant Sarah Longwell about President Trump's focus on Iran.

I talked to NPR Morning Edition today about what I'm hearing from Trump voters about the war in Iran and why I'm not so sure if Trump cares what Americans think of him anymore. www.npr.org/2026/03/10/n...

Of course he couldn’t ignore it if the Congress wasn’t compliant.

There were reporters in the room yelling out questions about it in the back, but Hegseth refused to call on them and never specifically addressed the bombing of the girls school.

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE.

In their remarks, neither Pete Hegseth nor Dan Caine this morning addressed the girls school that was bombed.

They did not get A SINGLE QUESTION about it from people they called on in the room loaded with right-wing hacks.

TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help since the Trump administration began dismantling the CFPB.
