Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, and Brian Kilmeade mounted a full-court press, urging Trump to attack Iran.
Great reporting from Zeteo's @justinbaragona.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social.

Citizens Bank has decided that there's lots of money to be made in financing the construction of a whole archipelago of concentration camps for Trump. How do their shareholders feel about that? www.de-icecitizensbank.org
Meanwhile Trump definitely does now want to release any more Epstein files

Quite the regional war POTUS kicked off on a whim.
Meanwhile, Trump spent the day in Kentucky campaigning against the guy who got the Epstein files released.
"Fortunate Son" by CCR was written by John Fogerty in about 20 minutes, fueled by rage over the unfairness of the Vietnam War draft. The song critiques how wealthy, well-connected families used their influence to protect their sons from combat, while working-class young men were sent to fight
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
Thune refrain this week: “We don’t have the votes”
JUST IN: A federal judge has blocked ICE from constructing an immigration detention facility in Hagerstown, MD after the state sued over the lack of a mandated environmental impact review. www.courtlistener.com/docket/72362...
Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."
We don’t have to worry about Iranian sleeper cells when we have this guy on the job.
President Trump visited Cincinnati Wednesday to talk up his new prescription drug plan. An Ohio expert said there isn't much novel about it and about half of the 43 drugs covered under TrumpRx have generic alternatives far cheaper. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/03/11/t...
every day a new, actual benghazi
So, a few things here:
1) No, he didn't add those "best of" additions to the SAVE America Act. If he had, it would have to go back to the House to get passed again.
2) There is no such word as mutilization.
3) He really is very stupid.
In South Burlington, Vermont, protesters are being tear-gassed by ICE and local police as they attempt to prevent a kidnapping.
Again, this is a feature of Tomahawk route planning. Tomahawk doesn’t know where it is unless it makes a number of unique terrain matches over an ingress route that must extend for several hundred kilometers. In 2003 routes over Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iran were used during strikes on Iraq.
I think my favorite quote of the day was Mike Johnson saying that Markwayne Mullin taking over DHS was going to save Republican candidates in the midterms. Dude just needs to keep strategizing exactly like that from now until Nov.
There was a pundit class determined to insist that Trump had presided over a durable political realignment, because realignments are sexy.
Unsurprisingly, it turns out to have been the normal political pendulum, which pundits hate.
Trump: "The Straits are in great shape"
Wow, Gulf shippers are in a real bind here. On one hand, Donald says everything's fine and Gulf shippers should sail on thru. On the other hand: massive boat-melting fireballs. Both sides make good points!
Seems like it was a bad idea to put a sociopathic megalomaniac in charge of the most powerful military in human history
Even Republicans are saying it now
Pam Bondi has failed to explain how her brother and his corporate clients continue to achieve unexpected and favorable outcomes in cases in which the Bondi Justice Department intervenes.
@congressmin.bsky.social and I are urging the DOJ Inspector General to launch an investigation.
almost literally Trump tonight
In addition to oil, the war has bottled up the world’s main supply of sulphuric acid, setting back a lot of heavy industrial supply chains. theoregongroup.com/commodities/...
Meanwhile, it seems that at least 2 oil tankers are currently on fire in the Persian Gulf.
BREAKING: ABC News, citing sources: The United States is facing difficulty evacuating its personnel from facilities under bombardment in Iraq
Trump officials moving onto military bases is a ridiculous, absolutely inappropriate thing, and the NYT story that credulously credited claimed threats as justifying such a move is also ridiculous.
