Notice how all of our geopolitical enemies constantly attack the EU and push against European regulation.
They do it because those regulations are exactly what protects us from them.
A united and well-regulated Europe is their biggest nightmare
No one is going to miss the regime but let’s not forget the ordinary Iranians who just want to live their lives and not be caught up in Trumps illegal war…
Asking random locals in Tehran to hang out.
These are the friendly, social people we are bombing for no reason.
Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didn’t applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldn’t now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.
An authoritarian theocracy run by religious fanatics is willing to fight to the death, even if it destroys them, in ways that the Venezuelan kleptocracy wasn't? Wow. I didn't know that. You're telling me now for the first time
Sen John Cornyn has an op-ed in Rupert Murdoch's NYPost, arguing that reducing the number of voters in the midterms is essential to GOP success at the polls. This is the GOP success formula in Texas, which has the lowest voter rates in the entire developed world—by design.

In case you aren’t quite getting the comparisons of Putin’s army to Nazi Germany, even after Bucha, Mariupol, the stealing of thousands of Ukrainian kids who’ve been sent across Russia to be reeducated, the rapes, the murders, the executions, the use of “foreign contract soldiers” to clear mines-
The 2026 National Science Foundation budget is $8.75 Billion.
Washington State Passes ‘Millionaires’ Tax’
It would be the first income tax in Washington, affecting an estimated 20,000 households. Some of the wealthiest SAY THEY leaving for Florida. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u... 👏&🤞it holds up in courts!
Every Democratic Senator But Fetterman Signs Call for Probe of Iran School Massacre
“Massive civilian casualty incidents like the attack in Minab are not only detrimental to the Iranian people, but they also undermine US national security interests."

The absolute horrors Ukrainians are subjected to in Russian captivity is not the exception, but the rule. We should not allow this to be a normal part of humanity.
These Ukrainians - most of whom were ordinary civilians - sacrifice everything to defend Ukraine and the entire free world from fascist Russia. They are not supposed to be our shield, not should they sacrifice all alone. We should be fighting shoulder to shoulder WITH them.
What Ukrainians look like after time in Russian captivity is the stuff of absolute nightmares. But this isn't a dream, but horrifying reality of life in Russian hell.
Israel’s military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon is illegal under the UN Charter, argues Adil Haque. Israel, Iran, and Hezbollah are all violating international law at the same time, in different ways - and all parties must stop:

Staggering revelations in the Epstein Files (and no doubt, this is just the tip of the iceberg). In 2019, Donald Trump's DOJ shut down New Mexico state investigators into gruesome alleged crimes at Jeffrey Epstein's 'Zorro Ranch'. Everyone on the planet must watch this video. Please share widely.
“Rather conveniently, Comer made no mention of who was president in 2019: Donald Trump. Nor did he mention that Trump appointee Bill Barr was leading the Department of Justice when this purported chicanery took place.” www.ms.now/news/james-c...
Great reporting @AriMelber.bsky.social. I’m not a conspiracist, but I’ve always doubted Epstein killed himself. He knew way too much on way too many powerful people. And those powerful people, including the current POTUS, did not want him to ever say what he knew. www.mediaite.com/media/news/w...
Side note: Media outlets that refused to cave to Pentagon press rules have been coming up with scoop after scoop from military sources. So much for Hegseth’s attempt to strangle journalism
In the last 24 hours, Iran has:
- Struck three ships trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz, disabling a Thai cargo ship
- Blown up a large oil storage facility in Oman
- Struck two oil tankers at harbor in Iraq, setting both ablaze.
- Blown up oil storage tanks next to Bahrain’s main airport

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.
It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.
Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."
Trump is both a pedophile who’s raped children for decades ( like Sasha Riley & Katie Johnson ), AND fully “Kompromat“ to Putin & Russia, also for decades since RU became his financier after he lost all daddy’s money in the 1980s/90s. They go hand in hand as criminals like Trump are easily extorted.
Please keep Howard Schultz and his 328-foot, $300 million yacht in your thoughts as he moves across the country to avoid paying a 9.9% tax on annual income over $1M
All the Democrats had to do was crib from the playbook the GOP used against Clinton, Obama, Biden. Instead they’ve been accommodationists to a fault. Sure they’re not fascists like the right, but they’re soft on fascism.
Democrats are on the path to winning this year, but it is by default. The party has done a horrific job on politics from almost the minute Trump was defeated in 2020. So, sure, they are winning right now — but it’s because we have no other choices. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
