Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
Hey Professors! Grammarly is using author name and writing likeness without permission, and there's a decent chance they'll start doing it for us, too.
Here's how to opt out (below). But where is the class action lawsuit?

The killing of schoolchildren should shock our conscience and cause us to recoil in horror. A nation whose leaders can so easily shrug off the death of children, no matter the cause, is in need of moral repair. There must be accountability and lessons learned from this tragedy. And we must never forget that Iranian children, too, are children of God. 7:08 PM · Mar 12, 2026 · 7,179 Views
Shouldn't be rare to see this said by a US senator
The irony is that the subway is the ordinary way many New York City kids get to and from school. New York provides school buses through 6th grade and assumes kids will use free OMNY cards afterwards. The subways teem with teens.
UPDATE: The Rep. Jody Barrett & Sen. Mark Pody abortion death penalty bill FAILED in the house
Idk who this is but he's obviously a gd liar
I'm in love with this idea

Marco Rubio hanging out with Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio at the "Shield of the Americas" event, in case you were still thinking it had some sort of legitimate purpose
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
Lucifer has a point
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
He wants to give “cover,” to a pedophile.

Emmanuel Damas, another individual killed in ICE custody.
He had a toothache. They ignored it. He died of spesis. Read that again.
Why do we need to fund this murderous agency?

POLL: “Dems' real problem isn't being too liberal — it's being seen as too weak… The path to 2026 doesn’t run through the center. It runs through the fight.” www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...
This is what I have been saying forever. The only reason Republicans pretend to care about “the Jewish people” is that they need Israel for the Rapture to happen and then all the Jews will burn in Hell. Criticizing Israel’s government isn’t antisemitic but THAT sure is.
Wow. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem tells Americans they’re on their own.
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”
GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON
I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

It was never about protecting cisgen women and girls. This law strips transgender adult male and females of their right to pursue liberty.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
