democrats still seem to be laboring under the delusion that they can introduce stuff to pass while trump is president and they, not trump, will somehow get credit for it. they learned nothing from trump taking credit for covid stimulus checks

Devastating reporting. Like RFK Jr., Kristi Noem, and Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth is reshaping his department to indiscriminately kill tons and tons of children.

A major throughline of the Trump administration.

Justice Department publishes some missing Epstein files related to Trump The Justice Department has published additional Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor after an NPR investigation found dozens of pages were withheld.

4 days ago, NPR reported that the Trump administration is still withholding, in violation of the Epstein files statutes, 37 pages of documents that implicate him in the rape of a child. This should end his presidency. www.npr.org/2026/03/05/n...

Nuclear experts undercut White House claims about Iran reactor at heart of case for war The Trump administration sent negotiators without nuclear expertise to lead talks on Iran’s enrichment program. Now, its public case for war centers on a facility that experts say cannot do what offic...

This is a technical story with stunning strategic implications. It is quite possible the US launched a massive war because Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff lacked the technical expertise to even understand what the Iranians were offering in negotiations. Absolute idiocy.

Even Philly’s crosswalks have hoagiemouth. We found out why for youse. β€œIt feels like one of those many only-in-Philly things, of course even our crosswalks have a thick Philly accent.”

ICYMI over the weekend, I looked into why some of Philadelphia's Audible Pedestrian Signal systems at city crosswalks come wit the Philly accent.

Yeah, what's shouted tends to be instructions for the sweepers, or information about the speed that the sweepers can convey to the skip. But there's no sweeping in wheelchair curling; the entire shot rests in the precision of the delivery...and yelling at the rock to do what you want it to do.
