Raging at Media, Pete Hegseth Just Said the Quiet Part Out Loud He wants “patriotic” coverage of the Iran War. He doesn’t understand: in a democracy, coverage that asks difficult questions of the government is itself “patriotic.”

Pete Hegseth wants to live in a world in which the US military can drop bombs on scores of children and face no serious media scrutiny for it. His vile claim that he can't wait for David Ellison to run CNN shows he pines for oligarchic control of media.

Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War. The president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, the world’s most vital shipping lane.

WSJ: The likelihood of Iran closing the strait was discussed, Gen Caine predicted it, and Trump decided “Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait — and even if Iran tried, the U.S. military could handle it.”

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

• If there's one thing controversial CBS News editor Bari Weiss has earned praise for it's her hands-on booking of big names for the network. But there's one booking she seems to have blown up: New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, who had been in talks to appear for an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning with Robert Costa. Mamdani's team, I'm told, has long been averse to appearing on CBS given the coverage his campaign got from Weiss's The Free Press, but her recent social media post reacting with a fire emoji to an Iranian activist's diatribe against Mamdani was the "nail in the coffin" for him appearing on the network, two sources with knowledge told me. "Bari and her people have a clear axe to grind for him," said one former CBS producer. (CBS News did not respond to a request for comment.) And the network's turn away from news and toward opinion is proving to be a broader problem. "It's not just Zohran," the source said. "It's really

lol. CBS had been trying to get Zohran Mamdani for an interview, but Bari Weiss' deranged tweeting caused him to turn it down

Hegseth ignored military officials when he slashed offices that limit risk to civilians The Defense secretary’s decision to cut offices that mitigate civilian harm faces renewed attention as the Pentagon investigates a strike that killed hundreds of Iranian children.

Hegseth ignored military officials when he slashed offices that limit risk to civilians The Defense secretary’s decision to cut offices that mitigate civilian harm faces renewed attention as the Pentagon investigates a strike that killed hundreds of Iranian children.

The result of Trump’s fundamental weakness - a fear of appointing anyone smarter than himself which is a very, very low bar.

Again, we ask: Why?

Seems like pretty straightforward book-cooking here. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/b...

this is very, very bad. the administration will use this guilty verdict to help “prove” there is a terrorist antifa cell, which they’ll use to build up their fictitious international antifa organization they’ll declare an FTO.

Here's a new one: ICE detained a man in Utah who had been arrested for a suspected drug sale ... that turned out to be dried pinto beans.

Utah case was dropped but the man, who arrived in US as a minor and has deferred action, was transfered to ICE.

Why Has This Columbia University Protester Been in ICE Detention for Nearly a Year? Leqaa Kordia's family worries about her health after she was briefly hospitalized last week. DHS refused to give them information about her condition and she is still 'very sick.'

BREAKING: Exactly one year since she was detained, an immigration judge has just ordered the release of Leqaa Kordia — the last Columbia protestor still in ICE detention.

DHS has kept her, despite a magistrate judge recommending her release and an immigration judge already *twice* ordering so.

i think that it is plainly obvious that we should bankrupt Palantir on day one by cutting all of its contracts and declaring it a supply chain risk.

I remember when Barack Obama had to denounce Jeremiah Wright.

Some background here: Again, the Jerusalem Cross *was* adopted by crusaders, but the symbol itself was/is widely used in a variety of Christian contexts.

However, Hegseth also has a “Deus vult” tattoo, the rallying cry of crusaders that he *overtly mentions in that context in his own 2020 book.*

Two things here.

One, you don't sit there and whine about media coverage and headlines if things are going well.

Two, the administration is just outright saying that they fully expect Ellison to use CNN to be a Trumpist propaganda organ.

In the last two days, Iran struck:

- Oil tankers in Iraq, killing an Indian crew member

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

All this week I've written about how here in IL, dark money and MAGA aligned PACs are spending absurd sums of money to prop up establishment corporate Dems while attacking progressive Dems who are actually willing to fight.

MSNOW has the scoop on just how deep this goes:

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

'This place broke something in us': Kids languish in ICE detention long past 20-day court limit The Trump administration has detained more than 900 children — including a boy with severe autism — for longer than allowed under a decades-old legal settlement.

ICE detained a 9-year-old with severe autism and his mom for more than 80 days.

The boy depends on daily therapy, but at Dilley, those supports vanished.

Unable to understand why they couldn’t go home, he would cry through the night and hit himself, his mother told me.
