Side note: Media outlets that refused to cave to Pentagon press rules have been coming up with scoop after scoop from military sources. So much for Hegseth’s attempt to strangle journalism
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"
Turns out that despite her claims Kat Abughazaleh is neither poor nor working class, unless working class is grew up in a $3m mansion, grandfather did biz w Kuwaiti royal family & Agnew’s bag man, father owned a hedge fund services company, mom owns mineral rights to gas wells…
Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...
Well…the orange demon showed them🫠
“We don’t know its true until the Kremlin denies it.”

Schumer: "Iran doesn't have Tomahawk missiles, Donald Trump! The claim is beyond asinine. He says whatever pops into his head no matter what the truth is. And we all know he lies, but on something as formidable as this, it's appalling."
appears to be a Subway Series hat
And apparently a 13-year-old boy in Paris is responsible for the actions of the Israeli government.
Who knew.
And more than the Melania movie!
“We’re in a Schrodinger’s tariff right now.” One proclamation says “a 10% tariff on the rest of the world,” the next post says “a 15% tariff literally effective immediately,” then the White House pretends he never said it.
The crack team who brought you the trade war are now in Iran.
❗️Thanks to the efforts of German Defense Minister Pistorius, Ukraine will be able to receive a package of 35 PAC-3 missiles for the Patriot system in the coming weeks — Spiegel
The publication reports that he managed to locate these missiles in the stockpiles of allies and secure their allocation.
It's hard to say. Detention numbers are down significantly. We can't say exactly why for now (I have theories, as do others) but if the Homan/Lyons wing has convinced the White House that the Miller/Noem mass deportation pushes were bad politics, they may have finally found the brake pedal.
❗️The Government of 🇨🇦Canada is investing more than 900 million Canadian dollars (approximately 660 million USD) in the development of drones and other military technologies.
Witkoff said that during yesterday’s call, Putin assured Trump that Russia is not supplying Iran with data for strikes.
Well, if Putin said so, then it must be true. That’s definitely the truth. Russians have never lied.

I've been struggling with how to express my dismay at the war coverage by our top newsrooms, and how it dances around the central fact that Trump is deranged and unfit to command. I finally wrote something. Please read it. presswatchers.org/2026/03/the-...
Gibson got me rooting for her.🎾
This is very deliberate. Trump is purposely letting Putin fund his war on Ukraine. The Kremlin reported they spoke for a full hour today, the White House refuses to comment.

Maybe we deserve what we’ve got coming to us
In court today, we argued against the government's efforts to compile lists of Jewish people & their ties across campus at UPenn
Free expression & religious liberty — the most basic rights — cannot be trampled this way
History has shown us where it leads
I don't know how people expect Democrats to keep up without money. The SC opened the flood gates and this is what we have
:)
Lol.
