Concerned (Half-)Human Being

Can the Courts Protect the Ballot? The decisions judges make during the coming months in various active legal cases will affect who can vote, which districts they vote in, and what political advertising they see—among many other factors. What’s at stake is not just the outcomes of this year’s elections but also the future integrity of democracy in the US. Voting rights attorney Marc Elias joins host Alex Lovit to discuss threats to ballot access in the United States, how lawyers are fighting back, and what the rest of us can do to help.

A very important topic right now. I hope you listen, enjoy and share!

Iowa farmer: This fertilizer shortage is going to affect everybody. It could lead to a decrease in yields. If you look at that countrywide, corn, soybeans, cotton, rice, that will increase prices. It's gonna be a train wreck for consumers.

Zelenskyy should demand the release of the unredacted Epstein files because clearly Fuck Face is not on his side.

Trump says he doesn't care about Iranian democracy. Of course, he doesn't care about American democracy either.

"The first 2 days of this war cost $5.6 billion. I seem to remember a president coming into office on the pretext he would focus on America First. And yet he's cut healthcare, cut food assistance, sent the cost of everything higher, but we have plenty of money for war."

(🧵) BREAKING NEWS THREAD: Those of you who've been reading PROOF OF DEVILRY—the exhaustive exposé of the Trump-Epstein Scandal—are cheering today.

Congressional questioning confirms my reporting that one way Epstein helped interfere in the 2016 election was illegal in-kind campaign contributions.

Another word you might use for it is "looting".

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

Ted Lieu: “A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files — the best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as Trump & Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up & release all the Epstein Files as required by law”

“'The administration thoughtlessly terminated people with crisis experience, and now they’re left without depth in the bench in the middle of a wide scale and broadening crisis,' said a former official with more than a decade experience in evacuation operations..."

Trump is coming to Ohio to tout his drug program. Is there anything new about it? • Ohio Capital Journal President Trump will visit Cincinnati Wednesday to pitch his prescription drug plan. But his rhetoric and reality don't match.

President Trump is visiting Cincinnati Wednesday to talk up his new prescription drug plan. An Ohio expert said there isn't much novel about it and about half of the 43 drugs covered under TrumpRx have generic alternatives far cheaper. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/03/11/t...

The Minnesota resistance exposed the Orwellian frauds of the administration • Minnesota Reformer This may be the beginning of the end of Trump’s ability to assert whatever version of reality he wants.

Commentary: Minnesota’s resistance to the ICE surge cracked the Trump reality bubble. The air started leaking out, and the truth in.

When they told us to reject the evidence in front of our eyes, we kept recording. minnesotareformer.com/2026/03/11/t...

This is who some people defend. And it tells you more about humanity than anything else.

It was not enough for Elon Musk's minions to gut the Social Security Agency.

An ex-DOGE engineer allegedly took SSA's master databases of personal information to a job in the private sector.

DOGE was never about fighting fraud. It was about exposing Americans to more of it.

Trump is working hard today in the middle of his war campaigning in Kentucky against fellow Republican Thomas Massie, because he co-sponsored the bill to release the Epstein files. Nothing to improve the lives of Americans as he continues his Revenge & Retribution Tour.

The sane people of the US have been saying the same thing since 2017.

Anthropic’s Lawsuit Should Absolutely Destroy the Pentagon in Court But make no mistake: The company is not one of the good guys.

Yay, Anthropic!

Sue the Pentagon's ass off!

CNN: Military officials warned Trump about the steep risks for retaliation if he attacked Iran.

When there's another 9/11 style attack on American soil, blame Trump!

Republicans, who like to pretend they follow Jesus, are mocking a Democrat who does.

This is what happens when you vote for a pedophile. Shit gets darker and darker. Now MAGA y’all have blood 🩸 on your hands!

This is our country. Donald Trump doesn't own America. He doesn't own the White House. Everything he does relies on our money.

We depend on Congress to represent our interests. They are failing us by allowing him to exploit our money for his personal interests. He & his party of sycophants must go.
