This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.

This is, to put it mildly, a double standard. This guy was part of a government that encouraged online social media figures to engage in routine harassment of government employees to the point that many were fired or went into hiding. Some of it was done by Elon Musk, this guy's boss.

If Joe Biden's son-in-law was flying around the Middle East as an unofficial Secretary of State while also working on business deals for his company with the same people he was meeting with on behalf of the US government, I'm pretty sure it would be a bigger story πŸ€”

Wall Street Bankers Offered Lucrative Access to Join the Pentagon

A Pentagon recruiter openly offers corruption: β€œunmatched access to top-level government officials and privileged information flow β€” whatever you need, you can get.”

I have questions…

Why is the U.S. Treasury secretary doing media rounds about Trump’s war in the first place, then suddenly getting summoned into the Situation Room?

Clearly, Scott Bessent comes back looking shook.

If the war strategy is so solid, why yank him out of a live interview?

It’s gonna be a pretty solid weekend if social media is flooded with clips of Laura Loomer getting her ass handed to her in-person by Indian journalists. Shout-out to Rajdeep Sardesai for kicking off the festivities.

Trump administration orders restart of oil drilling along California coast amid Iran war President Trump is asserting executive authority to demand California restart controversial offshore oil drilling along its coastline amid soaring gas prices during the war with Iran. Gov. Gavin Newso...

Amazing strategy: start a war with Iran, watch oil prices explode, then announce new offshore drilling that won’t produce a drop for months. Brilliant. Nothing says β€œwe’re in control” like announcing oil that doesn’t exist yet.

At Dinners, Over Jokes With Comedians, Epstein Honed His Networking

www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/a... Epstein was able to shroud his record as a sex offender by cultivating the titans of government, finance and comedy, whose very presence at his dinner table appeared to enhance his respectability. Yet,
DEI is problematic.

Plan accordingly, and don’t let this deter you from doing good antifascist work. Solidarity with the Prairieland defendants

Toxic Pollution From Iran War Will Spread and Last for Decades Exploding fuel infrastructure and missiles have released contaminants that put the health of millions of people at risk.

Strikes on Iran are unleashing toxic pollutants that likely will linger for decades, poisoning the environment and posing health risks

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarterβ€”even the declaration of no quarterβ€”is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

β€œ6 out of 7 were clearly of the opinion that we should not release the sanctions against πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ίβ€ Merz.'

Today a judge ruled on what we all already know: the Trump Administration's weaponization of DOJ against Jerome Powell amounts to nothing more than a witch hunt.

The Senate should not move forward with any Fed nomination until the probes against Powell and Lisa Cook are dropped.

Trump Removes Sanctions on Russia to Help Oil Flow Amid Iran Conflict

More freedom for Russia from sanctions; more revenue for Russia to slaughter Ukraine.

Whatever Trump/Russia/Epstein is, and whatever Trump/Kushner/Witkoff side deals exist, this is a disgrace.
