NEW: They Didn’t Want to Have C-Sections. A Judge Would Decide How They Gave Birth.
Two Florida women had to attend virtual court hearings while in labor to argue for their right to choose their own medical care.

How about: If the president shows clear signs of mental incapacity, would you invoke the 25th amendment?

Part one of my list of questions for Markwayne Mullin.
Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.
Just checking in on the Afghanistan Golden Age. How’s it going?
He is a child in a job meant for adults.
Donald Trump on Truth Social on March 7th: The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump Truth Social post on March 14th begging nations (including the UK) to send ships: Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP
A story in two farcical acts.
Would be nice to have a President who has reached the stage where he has object permanence.
Don't worry, the Harper's letter people are *all over* this.
Thanks for your excellent explanation, Senator.
Please impeach, convict, and remove the president.
It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.
1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.
10/ All of this was totally foreseeable. Frankly, it’s why previous presidents weren’t so stupid to start a war like this.
Trump has lost control of the war. His best course now is to cut his losses and end it. That’s the only way to prevent an even bigger disaster.
Dark money campaign in IL-09 changed their shady website last night not to dispute reporting but to smear it with the fact that I worked w/ Abughazaleh's boyfriend at NBC 3 years ago. To be clear: Ben is cool. We used to work together. And that had no influence on this 100% true story. Send me tips!

“Pregnancy is the only condition where Florida courts have ruled that a patient can be forced to undergo unwanted treatment. Even a state prisoner on a hunger strike has more rights to make medical decisions.”
wtf
This is absolutely bonkers and infuriating.
Must-read reporting by ProPublica.
Changing clock, starting wars, things of that nature
can this be a solution?
Lots of good ideas here, including the Philly Inquirer, Baltimore Banner, and the Guardian
George W. Bush, king of clock changing, decided to change the clock changing
Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump Maggot Hagerman, just another SLEAZEBAG writer for The Failing New York Times, insists on writing false stories about me, even though she fully knows and understands that the exact opposite of anything she says is usually the truth. In any event, I'm thinking of adding Maggot, and some of her "associates," into my Florida based Lawsuit against The Times which, very happily, seems to be proceeding nicely. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT 5.86k ReTruths 25.1k Likes 3/13/26, 4:32 PM

The Embassy of Lebanon in Washington, D.C., and the Lebanese Consulate in Detroit issued a statement strongly condemning the terrorist attack on a Jewish synagogue in Michigan, rejecting all violence against places of worship and innocent civilians. 🇱🇧
Up through the 1930s, State Fairs across America featured head on collisions between trains. The first occurred at the Iowa State Fair in 1896 before a crowd of 20,000. This video is from the Minnesota State Fair during the Great Depression, as featured in the poster below:

Do I need a poster promoting a Thrilling Head-On Train Collision? No.
Do I want it? Absolutely.

“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”
WSJ: The likelihood of Iran closing the strait was discussed, Gen Caine predicted it, and Trump decided “Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait — and even if Iran tried, the U.S. military could handle it.”
