Pete Hegseth reportedly spent $24M of expiring DOD funds on lobster, ribeye steaks, and Alaskan king crab.
Now the Pentagon wants ANOTHER $500B, on top of Trump's record-setting $1T military budget.
Imagine what we could spend that money on instead.
Ossoff: "When American service members are returning in flag-draped coffins... this White House treats war like a [videogame].
It's a disgrace... it speaks to the moral rot of this administration."
It's a shame this is where we are as a country.
Ossoff is good on this stuff
While Jared Kushner is negotiating on behalf of the United States with governments in the Middle East, he is also soliciting investments in his private business ventures from the same governments

This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.
A true giant. I was lucky enought to meet him and spend an evening around him and Rorty in Chicago many years ago. RIP

SCOOP: Josh Nass, a lobbyist who worked to secure a pardon from Trump for a client, was arrested Friday & charged with attempted extortion, apparently for trying to collect an additional $500k he was owed by the pardoned client, Joseph Schwartz.
TRUMP: “If they rise, they rise.”
That’s an oldie but a goodie.
From the $DJT 8-K.
Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. He's using the presidency to line his own pockets. This is why we need to make sure that on March 28 — two weeks from today— we march across America in the largest demonstration in the nation’s history. NoKings.org

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.
State AGs must step in and block it.
What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.
(Reuters) - President Donald Trump's administration has rebuffed efforts by Middle Eastern allies to start diplomatic negotiations aimed at ending the Iran war that started two weeks ago with a massive U.S.-Israeli air assault, according to three sources familiar with the efforts.

One week ago. 🤡
WSJ: Gen. Caine “said in several briefings that U.S. officials had long believed Iran would deploy mines, drones and missiles to close the world’s most vital shipping lane ..
“.. Trump acknowledged the risk, these people said, but moved forward ..”

These guys are very committed fascists and unshy about it
E. Jean Carroll, one of my personal heroes, took on Trump and won.
She’s one of the bravest people I’ve met.
She shared some thoughts on Trump and Epstein’s awful friendship.
i would love to stop seeing people here argue that it’s not antisemitic to kill random jews in america as retaliation for israeli policy. if people would stop doing that, that would be super cool imo. not being a bigoted sociopath on main — what a concept!
seems like the clearest purpose of the war is to reopen the thing that closed because of the war?
John Fugelsang @ JohnFugelsang I just want to point out that I have NEVER called Stephen Miller "Satan's Butt Plug." What I ACTUALLY said was that Stephen Miller's HEAD looks like Satan's Butt Plug. And I wish people would stop twisting my words.
He voted for Kristi Noem to give her a chance. How did that work out?
Whenever Trump uses this phony line, as he does often: “I love the people of _________”, whether it is a country or a state, if you ask him what specifically he loves about those particular people his answer will always be about himself and not about them.
Scanlon: I think we’ve got an embarrassment of folks who are deserving of impeachment, and the question is going to be priorities — who first?
There are certainly a number of people who should be subject to impeachment, criminal prosecution, and being banned from public office.
McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…
Most transparent leak ever, as Vance allies try to distance him from the Iran war.
Glad to have worked for a vice president in a White House where we were proud of how the president conducted U.S. foreign policy, instead of leaking against him.

Impressively deadpan delivery of this whopper.
This essay--like so much of Orwell--stands up well.
"By ‘nationalism’ I mean the habit of assuming human beings can be classified like insects...[and] of [placing] a single nation beyond good and evil...Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism."
