White House Crypto Czar David Sacks "There's a lot of scenarios here, a lot of really frightening scenarios about where escalation could leadβ¦If escalation could lead in all these horrifying directions, I think that's not the right approach. You have to look at deescalation."
JUST IN: With disclosures for a potential vindictive prosecution motion due to the defense on Monday, feds (Pirro) drop criminal case against Army vet who said he burned flag in park to protest Trump pledge to prosecute flagburners. No explanation. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...
The invitation-only conference in Rome, from Sunday to Wednesday, has proven so controversial that the Catholic universities initially associated with it have all denied official involvement. https://to.pbs.org/47jMyQf

I read the βSave America Act,β so you donβt have to. Most of the media apparently *hasnβt* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/
A win! A federal judge in Rhode Island has directed the government to reinstate a union contract covering more than 300,000 Veterans Affairs employees after the Trump administration attempted to end the agreement in August.
U.S. Attorney Pirro: βPolitics is not the lane I'm in right nowβ¦My job is to present evidence, and I can do so merely on the suspicion that the law is being violated, or even just because I want assurance that it's notβ¦We are not focused on politics.β
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
this means it is not open for transit

A real video put out by RFK Jr and retweeted by the White House. They cut healthcare to make these cringe videos.
Posting this because people keep saying Bureau of Labor Statistics is compromised by politics:
Bad inflation numbers today. Annualized rate back over 3%, plus one of the few bright spots is gasoline, and this data was taken before the recent war. www.bls.gov/news.release...
We've been tracking nearly 200 lawsuits against the Trump administration over its attempts to leverage federal funding to impose the president's agenda.
The most startling pattern: The administration seems entirely undeterred when it loses in court.

All six crew members aboard a U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft that crashed in Iraq are dead, the American military says.
My piece in @theatlantic.com on what AI is doing to the information environment during the war in Iran. 175 children buried in Minab. Every fact about their deaths has been documented, verified, and geolocated. None of it has been enough to prevent the doubt from spreading faster than the evidence.
ICYMI: Last month I wrote about a guy who got arrested based on notoriously unreliable roadside drug tests that flagged his prescription IBS pills as fentanyl.
This week he filed a civil rights lawsuit against the sheriff's office reason.com/2026/03/11/h...
If the government really is worried about Iranian sleeper cells, then it was probably a mistake to systematically reorient the majority of US counterterror resources toward arresting immigrant grandmothers and five-year-olds in bunny hats
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
SUNDAY, MARCH 15TH, is the 61st Annivesary of LBJ'S VOTING RIGHTS SPEECH.
It is as strong & as meaningful today, as it was on that very day he delivered it.
More importantly,
AN EVEN STRONGER REMINDER why the
SAVE AMERICA ACT must
NOT PASS!
Disenfranchisement is WRONG!

I found illegal redactions when reviewing Epstein Files last week.
#22 in this document is a billionaire that Epsteinβs accountant just told @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social bankrolled his operation. Redacting it violates The Epstein Files Transparency Act.
DOJ must fully comply with the law.
So to review: Oil > $100 a barrel, ~30% increase at pump. Mortgages >6%. We replaced one Supreme Leader with his more hardline son, whose whole family we killed. We murdered ~160 girls. Everybody in world but Bibi is pissed at us. Spent more in 1 week on war than USAID costed for 6 months.
Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.
