A federal tool to identify noncitizens on voter rolls keeps making mistakes.
“This is not ready for prime time,” a county clerk in Missouri said. “And I’m not going to risk the security and the constitutional rights of my voters for bad data.”

Mr President sir, this is your top aide speaking. I am begging you to keep saying this brilliant line.
"Solar accounted for 54% of all new electricity-generating capacity added to the US grid in 2025. Combined, solar and storage made up 79% of new capacity in this timeframe."
Wut?
I wrote this back in October. It's media malpractice not to write prominently about the mental unfitness of Donald Trump.
Biden was old in 2024. Trump is old and out of his mind in 2026.

Imagine being a young woman & reading this article & then flipping the page and reading an article about the Crisis Facing Men.
Look at these charts. TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help. The timing coincides with the Trump administration’s dismantling of the CFPB. www.propublica.org/article/cred... @joeljacobs.bsky.social
Not only this — but donors who give $1M+ to a Trump-backed group organizing events for the nation's 250th anniversary will gain special access to, and can seek favors from, Trump himself.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.
The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
It is really hard to overstate how much damage has been done to this country on a purely institutional level, and we have three more years of this shit.
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
One out of every 11,533 donors in the 2024 election was a billionaire.
Yet they were responsible for one out of every 5 dollars given to a politician — with just 300 billionaires spending over $3 billion.

California boy dies of SSPE (measles complication) after being infected at age 7 months, when he was too young to be vaccinated.

@macfarlanenews.bsky.social is (and has been) followable here.
I know nothing matters any more but here's the president admitting that he accused Iran of bombing a school full of their own children based on absolutely nothing.
Trump signed an EO benefitting Bayer, the makers of cancer-linked weedkiller Roundup and deadly munitions component white phosphorus.
It came after Bayer hired top Trumpworld lobbyist Brian Ballard and spent over $9M last year on federal lobbying.
"Drain the swamp."
If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.
GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.

“Montana Republican Tim Sheehy voted to scrap solar tax credits after installing panels and battery storage at his Bozeman home.” www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.
Frederik Pleitgen © @fpleitgenCNN X.com It is raining oil in Tehran this morning after major airstrikes on oil facilities in the South and West of the Iranian capital. @CNN @cnni 1:12 12:11 AM • 3/8/26 • 3.8M Views
Tehran is covered with thick dark clouds, and the rain is saturated with oil, per CNN.
The city exists surrounded by a mountain range, creating kind of a bowl that is holding in toxic materials that emerged after the US-Israeli bombing of oil facilities.
Trivializing noted.
Read it, delete it, and re-post it corrected.
BREAKING:
A federal judge in Washington just ruled that Kari Lake has unlawfully served as chief executive of the U.S. Agency for Global Media — which oversees Voice of America — and nullified many actions she has taken in the role, including mass layoffs of staff.
