I hadn't realized there was an intellectual theme in this story
Read @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social on the "intellectually insecure reactionaries" around Epstein. Much here that I did not know
www.thenerve.news/p/epstein-bi...
This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.
The post was “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸 🔥”
But hey, Vlad and his consiglieri say we’re gonna make $16 trillion with them in Russia
Of course they are
NEW: U.S. officials say Russia is providing Iran with intelligence to target American forces in the Middle East, including the locations of U.S. warships and aircraft, WaPo reports. Pete Hegseth recently said Russia is “not really a factor here.”
Why didn't the US consult Ukraine, the one country that knows how to country attacks from thousands of cheap drones?

From FT comments
The US Agency for Global Media, which is run by Kari Lake, has just failed an audit. The organization's finances are too chaotic even to assess.

It’s amazing that we’ve all just had to accept that our top military leaders in time of was will only take questions from wildly partisan media outlets. LindellTV, Daily Caller, Daily Wire get called on, but no legitimate general audience or defense press outlets.
Also, almost everything he says is a lie. The US gave Ukraine far less than he claims, and has not given anything for a year. Biden did restart weapons manufacturing all over the country. There are still shortages of air defense ammunition, everywhere, because it takes a long time to make.
CNN put together a montage of the regime's incoherent talking points about Trump's war on Iran
Translation: he didn't have enough weapons to fight his war of choice and so he is blaming Ukraine
"Iran has had coherent opposition movements over the decades that have managed to create nationwide movements and strikes. Almost all of them have been systematically destroyed: people arrested; people killed; people exiled."

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.
Trump is again calling on Iranian revolutionary guard and others to hand over their weapons. But to whom? Who will grant them immunity?
it's actually quite bizarre
"A stable, law-abiding Iran will help build a stable, law-abiding Middle East. But in order to achieve that, Iran needs not a new dictatorship but self-determination and a pluralist government that respects basic rights. Right now, the Trump administration is not trying to build one."
yes, I say that in the article
OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.
The fate of the Iranian people has never been of great concern to American administrations, and this one is no exception

From an ex-Hungarian MP @dailytelegraphnews.bsky.social, on April elections:
"The question is whether those who write the rules, distribute the money, count the votes, and announce the results will be willing to tolerate a world where they are no longer in power"
www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03...
The American bombardment of Iran has been launched without explanation, without Congress, without public support. Above all it has been launched without a coherent strategy for the Iranian people, and without a plan to let them build a legitimate Iranian state.

Trump wants to use Anthropic's AI to spy on American citizens and to direct robotic warfare without human judgments. Anthropic says the use must be consistent with law. Trump then announces that he will destroy Anthropic. More evidence that Trump's America is not a rule-of-law state.
Listen to @anneapplebaum.bsky.social (who hosts the podcast "Autocracy in America") talk about how Pres. Trump seeks to control elections...and culture: www.wnyc.org/story/its-al...
To justify his bombing of Iran, Trump posts this conspiracy theory on his social media.
“A pro-Russian aide to a far-right German legislator who attempted to scuttle Berlin’s shipment of main battle tanks to Ukraine is an agent of Russian intelligence, The Insider can now reveal.
Vladimir Sergienko, 52, is the Ukrainian-born adviser to Eugen Schmidt, a Bundestag deputy with the AfD.“
