DOJ nopes out of Ticketmaster antitrust suit Trump gets donations, you get surcharges.

"Trump gets donations, you get massive Ticketmaster surcharges — service fees, platinum fees, per-order fees, payment processing fees, facility fees, magical money-sh*tting unicorn fees — on top of already sky-high ticket prices." — @lizdye.bsky.social

“Since you delusional dopes apparently can’t put two and two together when President Nitwit tells you not to, here’s some nice pictures of oil infrastructure burning spectacularly all over the region. Now do you want to have a second think about whether you’ll be reopening the strait anytime soon?”

He was just living up to his name. 😁

Republicans can stop pretending to care about long TSA airport lines.

They blocked a bill that would fund TSA.

Again.

Trump’s power and by extension his entire movement are built around the idea that by asserting something you manifest it in reality. Even if it’s not true many people will behave as if is so you can get away with it.

It is alarmingly effective in law, domestic politics. It cannot unblock a strait.

He’s right and Ellison is the tip of the spear. We have Bezos, Musk, Thiel, and other technocrats, billionaires that will ruin our lives.

Be sure you have your voting credentials. Make a plan.

Don’t let them take your vote away.

No brain.
No morals.
No integrity.
No empathy.
No decency.
Not one trait that is desirable.

It's just impossible to keep up with the stupidity of our government

BBC looks at how Cubans are living with fuel shortages The BBC's Will Grant spoke to several Cubans as the country grapples with severe electricity shortages, which is attributed in part to US sanctions.

A grim BBC report from Havana filed 4 days ago. The Trump Administration is deliberately causing the worst humanitarian crisis of my lifetime in the western hemisphere and the US prestige press can't be bothered to cover it. Please shame them into reporting on this crisis before people start dying.

MAGA influencer Jake Lang getting caught for allegedly soliciting a minor is the least surprising thing of the day.

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.

That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.

The dealer needs to keep you addicted.

There are layers of stupidity here. _Layers_.

Trump: All of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died and are right now walking around with no legs.

I hope my kids are looking forward to inheriting microplastics because at this rate that's all I'm going to have to leave for them

Anyone seen Karma around?

That bitch is way behind on work

JD Vance blatantly lied about being on a pro-peace ticket while saying Kamala Harris would start WWIII and war with Iran.

It was the most dishonest campaign in the history of modern politics.

Spell like no one is watching.

Wow. Republican Rep Kevin Kiley tells reporters in a virtual press conference that not only will he run as an independent in CA-6, but he will officially be an independent for the remainder of his current term in Congress, @melodykloepfer.bsky.social reports.

As of March 9, 2026, the war is on its 10th day.

PRICE = $9.5 BILLION

They can write a blank check for death and destruction, but when American citizens need extended healthcare benefits, lower tuition rates, higher wages, access to affordable nutrition, and housing, it’s denied.

VOTE THEM OUT!!

Breaking 🚨
US CITIZEN Sunny Naqvi, born & raised outside Chicago, 2 other citizens & 3 legal residents were detained at O'Hare Airport.
CBP took Sunny to Broadview Detention, then moved her to a Wisconsin facility & finally abandoned her at a gas station after 2 days of lies to her family & police.

I’m sure someone will squeeze in a joke here.

Oh. Wait.

No More Benefit Of The Doubt Last Sunday, we discussed a number of cases pending in front of federal district judges in Minneapolis.

A fed-up judge comes down hard on ICE stealing/losing detainees’ personal property.
