Every one of our tech overlords has their own variant of psychosis. Karp's brain is a 5-pound bag of cooked spaghetti with a bunch of lit firecrackers in it.

Speaker Condemns Rep. Corcoran Targeting Jewish Colleague, But No Sanction Known for his racist commentary, Travis Corcoran is at it again, this time suggesting on Twitter that Jewish Rep. Jessica Grill, D-Manchester. should be killed in a β€œfinal solution.”

A day after removing Dem Rep. Wendy Thomas from her committee for apparently being what Republicans fear mostβ€”an outspoken woman weary of GOP cruelty and mismanagementβ€”the response to this guy is apparently a strongly-worded press release? #NHPolitics indepthnh.org/2026/03/11/s...

I know this is a crazy idea, but do any of the commentators who got snookered by anonymous Republicans into sticking with "Trump is strong on immigration, the public actually loves deportations" for far too long feel like it's time to ask themselves why they got so easily taken?

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative.

The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.

This is learned today:

Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet β€” and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now β€” never be the first to stop clapping.
