CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.
Mind destroyingly stupid NYT headline: Trump echoes fdr and grant in calling for “unconditional surrender”
In a year of stupid headlines, what to even say, this has to be among the stupidest and frankly most offensive yet
So in addition to being Secy of State and Nat Security Advisor Trump is saying he's going to make Rubio also become President of Cuba? www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...
This is what they mean when they say shit like "suicidal empathy."
It's just bloodlust. Not patriotism or deft military strategy. Just thuggery on a global scale.
Is it NYT? Of course it is.
Arguably the worst politics desk in the country, but they’ve got a lot of competition.
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

"We hosted that Iranian ship. They disarmed for our naval exercise. Then America attacked."
India's ex-FM just exposed the setup.
The UK stays silent when our "allies" pull stunts like this.
It is impossible for anyone younger the 50 to understand how grotesque and unoriginal this is. It’s always the small group of advisors or tactical team.
“The 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”
I can’t do this anymore
LA City Council’s City President Marqueece Harris-Dawson says he has been pulled over four times while a member of the council; the most recent was this week. He missed a committee meeting because of the stop, according to him.
Among the questions: “how do you have this vehicle,” according to him.
lol
Watch Sen Whitehouse’s speech yesterday for some ideas
The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.
Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes.
Wonder why that is?
How can "Trump demands unconditional surrender" and "Rubio says the goal is not regime change" co-exist in the same news story?

Cover of a book: "An Operational Necessity."
Who else remembers or has heard of prize-winning late 1960s novel 'An Operational Necessity,' by Gwyn Grffin?
It's about law-of-war consequences for WWII German U-boat crew that kills, rather than rescuing, crew members of a French boat it has torpedoed and sunk.
Worth reading again at the moment.
In just six days we’ve gone from “Iranians take over your country” to “we’re open to talking with the new leadership of the regime” to “I want to pick the new leader” to now “unconditional surrender”.
A “concept of a plan”, indeed.

Mainlining Xanax again I see
States are increasingly targeting platforms like Kalshi, arguing they circumvent the protections and taxes of regulated gambling markets.

Want to know how broken our media is? We are in an illegal war, & reporters/anchors are getting on the phone with Trump daily & just…relaying his words to their viewers, like stenographers. No challenging questions or follow-ups, no discomforting of Trump.
Try independent media:

Remember this when Donald Trump tells you we can’t afford health care.
And no diplomatic capacity to mitigate any of it.

Here's a longer-term chart of US tech employment growth—the only thing that compares to the scale and length of current job losses is the dot-com bust
These are war crimes, violations of the Geneva Conventions.
Increasingly I think we should turn the whole Trump cabinet over to the ICC to be tried at The Hague.
Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.

What a surprise.
Young Republicans repeatedly getting busted for group chats filled with violent racism, anti-Semitism, & misogyny. The latest involves the Miami GOP Sec. & the Pres. of Turning Point USA FIU.
I’ve got the horrid details & thoughts on why the GOP’s future is in the gutter.
