"In December, the conservative Manhattan Institute found that... a majority of Republican men under 50 think that the Holocaust either didn’t happen or was exaggerated." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/o...

A lesson Trump is learning the hard way: it’s easy to start a war. It’s a lot harder to end one. 

Meanwhile, Americans are paying the price

NEW: Hundreds of mental health professionals have left the Department of Veterans Affairs since President Donald Trump took office, leaving staff “at a breaking point” and some veterans waiting as long as six months for help.

Newsmax guy is lying to you. Trump is not wrapping up anything. Trump's Iran war will last beyond two to three tanks of gas. It will cost Americans more than an extra 10 to 12 bucks per tank.

Does The New York Times Want to Eradicate Trans People? — Assigned An analysis of its coverage reveals a pattern of misrepresentations, deceptions, distortions, the exclusion of trans voices, and the endorsement of contempt.

The New York Times coverage of trans issues has repeatedly resulted in experts and others complaining that their words were twisted and misrepresented... but only those quoted from on trans supportive side have that complaint.

Coincidence or eliminationism? @billiejsweeney.bsky.social dives in.

UPDATE: A tense, day-long standoff outside a South Burlington house ended Wednesday night with federal immigration agents removing three people inside and a series of violent clashes between police and hundreds of activists who tried to impede the apprehension.

Iran is the 17th largest country in the world. It's got incredibly challenging terrain, probably the world's most sophisticated and well-equipped irregular forces, can be supplied by China and Russia overland through both Pak and Af

oh and they can control the world's most important oil chokepoint

Yeah well I mean, >85% of Democratic voters think this is a stupid fucking idea, >75% think negatively of Israel, and even >80% of Democratic members of Congress weren't stupid enough to vote against the WPR.

Sorry but you're a sucker if you think you can just cry and appeal to "the big tent".

I think people are overrating the odds the ayatollah is a purely rational utility maximizer and underrating the odds the guy is rather upset about his father, wife, and daughter being incinerated and wants his pound of flesh.

BREAKING:

This is Beirut right now.

Israel is MASSIVELY bombing Lebanon’s capital in the middle of the night — deliberately wiping out apartment block after apartment block.

Civilian homes. Residential buildings.

No justification. Just pure terror.🤬🤬🤬🤬

BREAKING:

US minesweepers successfully removed mines in the Strait Of Hormuz that were never there after an oil tanker was escorted by a naval vessel that doesn't exist in an operation to obliterate a nuclear program that's already been obliterated in an escalating war that will be over shortly.

remember when MattyY was talking about how dems shouldn't talk about immigration

i think jamelle bouie is where i got this point from (though its obviously not unique to him): trump doesnt escape consequences so much as the institutions designed to impose consequences refuse to penalize him. this is absolutely not the same thing. hes not magic, people are just lazy and stupid.

As a point of comparison, the US spent $21 billion in FY 2022 to feed billions of breakfasts and lunches to kids in schools across our whole country for an entire year under the universal school meals program that was later discontinued.

Trump fucked kids on a digital sign that normally displays construction related traffic info

Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.

So, it’s Israel that targeted the oil reserves and the desalination plants.

Israel is following the same MO as in Gaza.

Brent Crude Oil (USD/Bbl) 100.50 0.17 (+0.168%)

Brent oil above $100/bbl

y'all should familiarize yourself with what the Average American is consuming entertainment-wise!

Brent crude has surged above $100 a barrel as Oman evacuated all vessels from its key oil export terminal and after two tankers were attacked in Iraqi waters, underscoring the broader risks to energy assets across the Middle East and overshadowing a record oil release from the International Energy Agency.

Bloomberg: “Brent crude has surged above $100 a barrel as Oman evacuated all vessels from its key oil export terminal and after two tankers were attacked in Iraqi waters…”

Who bombed the Iranian girls' school, killing more than 170? What we know The attack on Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School quickly became a focal point of concern over civilian casualties.

Judge orders release of Marlborough 14-year-old detained by Homeland Security State lawmakers said she was being used as “bait.” Federal officials claimed they were rescuing her from gang members.

“It’s extremely unusual for a 14-year-old child to essentially be abducted by federal agents with zero explanation and then taken in the middle of the night to New York. I think the question remains: Why?”

I love that Trump's toadies are wearing comically large shoes because the boss bought them and they're too chickenshit to mention that he guessed the wrong size.

The clown shoes cabinet. Apparatchiks desperate to demonstrate their loyalty in a personalist regime.
