If someone wrote this entire episode as a piece of fiction just 5 years ago, you would have been told it was too shitty for even a knock-off call of duty campaign.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

Democrats ask what happened to millions earmarked for Trump’s library ABC, Meta, Paramount and X reportedly agreed to pay at least $63 million in settlements with the president. The original fund was dissolved last year.

The Trump fund that capitulating media outlets paid their settlements to has been dissolved and it is unclear where the money went. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

U.S. Plan to Unblock Strait of Hormuz Collides With Realities of Global Insurance The U.S.-centric insurance idea runs counter to the realities of an international market, according to industry executives.

"U.S. officials called London insurers and brokers, trying to figure out how the market operates, industry insiders said."

When applied to the current administration, I urge caution in using terms like "plans," "strategy," "policy," or "doctrine."

in college (1980s) there was an old (even then) analog computer in the physics dept. I used it a couple times and thought it was pretty neat. Never saw anyone else touch it in my 6 years there despite it being in a high traffic area. Everyone walking around with unsolved differential equations.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could β€œbomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

Covid infections are more numerous in the US in the "after covid" era, because in reality the pandemic never ended. Masking is not hard, do it.

Justice Department publishes some missing Epstein files related to Trump The Justice Department has published additional Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor after an NPR investigation found dozens of pages were withheld.

4 days ago, NPR reported that the Trump administration is still withholding, in violation of the Epstein files statutes, 37 pages of documents that implicate him in the rape of a child. This should end his presidency. www.npr.org/2026/03/05/n...
