This is nuts, and I didn’t know it was happening. You may remember that Alina Habba, Trump’s personal lawyer who lost the E Jean Carroll case, was made USAttorney for NJ without Senate confirmation. A Judge ruled that she wasn’t duly appointed, and put prosecutions in jeopardy, so she resigned.

On the one-year anniversary of his detention by federal authorities, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and First Lady Rama Duwaji welcomed Mahmoud Khalil, his wife Noor, and their baby boy, Deen, to Gracie Mansion to break the fast together.
Breaking NYT:
Two teenage brothers and mariachi stars who visited the White House last summer were just released with their family from ICE detention centers in South Texas — immediately following the visit of a delegation of Democratic lawmakers who pressed for them to be freed.
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
Also known as "using insider knowledge for war profiteering."
That's his brand.
Civilians in Tehran are reporting toxic oily rain following US and Israeli airstrikes on oil storage facilities. An estimated 10 million people face exposure to hazardous chemicals, with risks including skin burns and lung damage.

Who is the nation for?
Where do the borders of belonging begin and end?”

New study finds even when people can tell a political deepfake is fake, it still makes them think worse of the politician being attacked. Fact-checks can help people spot the deception, but they can't undo the damage to that politician's reputation.

The US Supreme Court declined to hear computer scientist Stephen Thaler’s appeal on his years-long legal battle to secure copyright protections for an AI-generated “artwork,” leaving the AI art crusader out in the cold once again.
keep in mind for the next few days:
Omg
Impressive how Corpus Christi region (~500K people, mid-income area) has dropped the ball on providing itself with water. Striking quote here from a regional water official about how the best hope to avert disaster is ... a 20-30 inch rainfall (!). Which, yikes. www.texastribune.org/2026/03/08/t...
Good news! Thrilling news! Keep a lookout...

Charles "Sonny" Burton did not pull the trigger nor see the fatal 1991 shooting he was convicted of and sentenced to death for. This week, Alabama plans to execute him, exposing the arbitrariness of the state's death penalty.
Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.
A “Jeffrey Epstein Walk of Shame” has appeared in Washington DC’s Farragut Square. Stickers resembling the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame are printed with the convicted sex offender’s likeness below the names and titles of figures mentioned in the Epstein files.
The evidence that the U.S. hit the girls’ school in Iran, killing scores of children, keeps growing.
It’s horrific and not something from which the media, or anyone else, should just move on.
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Data centers must be stopped.
The article should be a wakeup call to municipalities around the US. 1st, this emergency isn’t so sudden at all. There have been discussions for a decade. 2nd, instead of working to fix the impending disaster, the local community leaders kept adding huge industrial users. Sounds like data centers!
Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, a 26-year-old soldier from Hardin County, was injured during an Iranian retaliatory attack on a military base in Saudi Arabia and died on Sunday. He is the first soldier from Kentucky to be killed in the war. From @justinhicks.lpm.org
No state is safe from Trump driving up prices at the pump.
This is the cost of Trump’s war of choice and Republicans in Congress enabling him.
The Republican Party: Come for the Christian Nationalism, stay for the White Supremacy.
He’s running out of time.
Please sign and share to help this innocent man who not only didn’t pull the trigger, but the man who did got life without parole, while Sonny is set to be executed for a murder he didn’t commit on March 12th. Gov Kay Ivey needs to do the right thing.
Stock market crashes are a clearance sale to the super wealthy 🤬
