a 2028 campaign ad where the average american voter is represented as the guy from memento but all the tattoos are like “every republican president destroys the economy and starts a war in the middle east“ or “trump was president during covid”
Why doesn't the Democratic party get captured by its left wing, as happened with the GOP freedom caucus and eventually Rogan Thought?
Reactionary takeover was never populist. It was orchestrated by the same donor class that anchors the D to the right of any other social democracy's conservatives
So if anybody -- state attorneys general, Democratic politicians, sentient beings -- doesn't understand why Paramount Skydance's takeover of Warner Bros./CNN is a huge problem, Pete Hegseth is here to explain it to you.
Stop the propaganda. Block this merger.
We are not seeing mass protests because universities and colleges criminalized dissent — not just disciplining students on specious grounds but sending police (sometimes more in # than protestors) and supporting prosecutions. Ppl are terrified.
"Top Trump officials acknowledged to lawmakers during recent classified briefings that they did not plan for the possibility of Iran closing the strait in response to strikes."

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

"He was vaguely saying things like, 'Really, I can help you out. I can do things for you. ...If you could, you know, give me the names of protest organizers, maybe I can help you out.'" Inside an ICE effort to generate snitches.
Two 12-year-old sisters born and raised in Florida were deported to Guatemala along with their mother earlier this week only to be returned the same day, with the twins forced to endure hours of flights in a legal maneuver the U.S. Attorney’s Office now concedes was unlawful.
When Marimar Martinez was shot five times by a Border Patrol agent, D.H.S. justified it by calling her a “domestic terrorist.” In the aftermath, she’s been trying to recover her reputation and, with it, a sense of reality. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/14IuY-
this is what “anti-system politics” becomes in the absence of an organized opposition
I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.
People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)
Trump calls for the Fed to drop rates "IMMEDIATELY, not waiting for the next meeting!"
Officials are instead gearing up to once again hold rates steady next week, extending a pause that began in January www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/b... @nytimes.com

NEW: US Treasury issued a general license for the delivery and sale of Russian oil loaded on vessels as of March 12.
Moscow continues to be the single largest beneficiary of the Iran War.
A U.S. Air Force refueling aircraft crashed in Iraq after an apparent accident involving two KC-135 tankers supporting operations in Iran, military officials said, adding that rescue efforts are ongoing and no fatalities have been confirmed.
"What books would you have read that would have informed your decision on what grants to cancel based on DEI?"
"There were no books."
Sorry I didn’t know you could say something as outrageous as “where are the student protests now” when you crushed and derided the students for protesting and fighting to prevent catastrophic, apocalyptic violence against civilians, because they knew what this would unleash. They were so brave.
Here's a new one: ICE detained a man in Utah who had been arrested for a suspected drug sale ... that turned out to be dried pinto beans.
Utah case was dropped but the man, who arrived in US as a minor and has deferred action, was transfered to ICE.

This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.
India is turning to polluting fuels such as biomass, kerosene and fuel oil as war-led gas shortages weigh on households and industries.
apart from the fact that the u.s. just had its biggest snowstorm in years, practically every university in the country has laid down new rules saying if you engage in disruptive protests, you'll be out on your ass and forfeit your tuition. students are being repressed, and you're blaming them?!
Respectfully, eat shit. Those kids were expelled, arrested, and targeted relentlessly by their school administrations with the specific goal of preventing further protest. Eighteen year old kids were held down and maced by campus security, hit point blank with tear gas canisters by riot cops.
Immediately disqualifying for the job for which he has been nominated. The 4th Amendment specifies it’s “the right of the people,” not of citizens.
We cannot allow someone who doesn’t understand the 4th Amendment to be the head of DHS.
I know I’m a goddamn broken record, I really do, but Congress had a way to change that, it worked for decades, and the Supreme Court blew it up in the 1980s in a way that was impossible for Congress to fix. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
I *really* don't want to be a downer but to me the precursor to Doing is Saying, and not nearly enough of this Party is saying what needs to be said. About punishing the villains, about abolishing billionaires, about ending elite impunity. Too many want to leave the rot but change the branding
Markwayne Mullin on the attempted deportation of Liam Ramos, a 5-year-old child of an undocumented immigrant in Minneapolis:
"This story that they’re blowing up about this 5-year-old kid is so false, is so untrue that honestly, there probably should be some lawsuits filed against this."
