Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

Free message for Democrats on taxes: We will use them to improve people's lives instead of killing people for no reason.

Search-and-rescue crews were β€œflying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Hegseth wants to come across as the alpha male of war, but he's simultaneously peevish, vain, and thin skinned

Pete Hegseth Says β€˜the Sooner David Ellison’ Buys CNN, β€˜the Better’

Saying the quiet part out load. The Trump Admin wants their ally David Ellison to take over media to turn it into propaganda for Trump. And they've wielded govt power over the market to manipulate that outcome.

This is how Orban took over media in Hungary. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/b...

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.

You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

The Corporate Miscreants Driving the Affordability Crisis These 20 firms all have something in common: Their CEOs get paid millions, their workers are being pushed onto public assistance, and voters are fed up with them.

Brian Niccol of Starbucks took home the award for the most nonsensical disparity between CEO and employee income: He earns $95,801,676, while the median salary for a Starbucks employee was a mere $14,674. trib.al/0VZnbqW

AI Used to Promote Non-Existent Evacuation Flights From the Middle East - bellingcat A Dutch newspaper published a story about private evacuation flights from Dubai, but the photo shows signs of AI generation and the flights appear never to have existed.

De Telegraaf, the Netherlands’ largest newspaper, recently published an interview with a woman promoting €1,600 seats on private evacuation flights from Dubai. Bellingcat found that her image was likely AI-generated, and flight data suggests no such plane took off. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

ICE is trafficking people who aren’t from there to a tiny landlocked absolute monarchy on the borders of South Africa and Mozambique.

Trump loves to appear strong and hates reading. So no attention was paid to abundant warnings on record about this outcome. No planning for contingencies was ordered. No thoughts to unintended consequences. He launched a war without calculating the ends. That means we have no clear way out.

I feel like I’ve had a front row seat to Trump’s ability to destroy shit all the way back to 2009 when I litigated against him in his third Atlantic City bankruptcy.

That said, I honestly could not have imagined a worse fuck up than what he has done in Iran.

Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.

Wi-Fi exists because of a Hollywood movie star.

Hedy Lamarr.

Often called the mother of Wi-Fi, she co-invented frequency-hopping technology in 1942 that became the foundation of modern wireless communication.

Inventor. Actress. A mind far ahead of its time.

i mean it’s objectively hilarious that he sends people clown shoes and they feel beholden to wear them lest they insult the boy king (no seriously: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...)
