So -- if Trump is this far gone, that suggests it isn't really his war. Others just told him what to do. Distracting from Epstein files can't be the only reason. Miller? Hegseth? Defense industry? Oil/gas producers? I don't know how to follow the $$ in this instance. Am I close?
Listen to this guy...something is seriously wrong that they're not telling us.
The Trump White House saves a MAGA adviser via private jet, but won’t save regular Americans stranded in the Middle East.
I've got the latest on this outrageous maneuver to help a Trump consultant while the State Department scrambles to figure out a plan for others.

"President Trump is MAGA and MAGA is President Trump." Taken by today's WaPo from White House statement March 3, 2026.
"L'Etat, c'est moi." Attributed to French King Louis XIV, 1655.
Not that there was any doubt about Trump delusions of a royal prerogative to do anything.
Hegseth wants the people he sends to fight trump’s war of opportunity to die in anonymity.
Yes, let's all have a giggle while the Middle East burns.
Trump feels entitled to take whatever he wants from everyone. If it is not oil or money, it’s women.
On any other day, at any other time, this proposition would seem overwrought and ridiculous. Not on this day.
The head of a council that includes most ICE officers was on PBS tonight, trying to defend actions that the rest of us have found unacceptable. Claims we haven't seen the violence of all the criminals they're deporting. Oh, and some of them have body cameras, but there aren't enough. BS.
Have they not done so because no Prez has ever wielded his power to scare the bejesus out of anyone in his party who dares take him on?
thank you thank you for calling that seeming omission to our attention. I just saw the clips on PBS - don't have the answer, but will work on getting it.
I will be interested to see whether Trump's racist remarks about the NFL halftime show have any traction, or whether there will be a justifiable backlash. I suppose that, having often expressed his disdain for anyone not a WASP, most have gotten used to his racism. But excoriating the NFL? Really?
What's the best way to communicate to the NFL, "Well done!"?
His joyful Spanish-language performance will be interpreted by the white right as explicitly political and I'm fine with that, because the MAGAts who take offense at anyone whose language and rich culture isn't identical to their own deserve all the discomfort their hatreds cause them.
The Act was always imperfect and remains so. It could use another serious look. But we are so immersed in hateful bullshit right now that rationalizing immigration law seems impossible.
MAGAts are so immersed in racist ideology that they're not thinking straight about immigration. The boomers are aging. We will need more workers, skilled and unskilled, than we have. Read about the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, signed by Pres. Ronald Reagan, which recognized this.
Thanks for helping me see exactly why Oz's statement ticked me off.
Thank you. The imprecision of others' language on this matter seems to have needlessly infuriated many.
This is a smart, credible analysis of what we face, with persuasive, reasoned comparisons of Trump/Miller's actions to the tyrannical tactics of Hitler, Stalin and Putin.
Easy answer. They can't find anyone espousing Jennings' politics who does add something intelligent to the conversation.
Interested to see how the GOP defends ICE funding now.
The Epstein files will be useless unless there is incontrovertible proof that Trump knew he was a party to, or beneficiary of, child sex trafficking. I find it impossible to believe his partisan DoJ would release anything implicating him, rather than bury it in redactions. Hope to be wrong.
Wondering what safeguards against purposeful omissions exist. Can’t get very excited about this because DoJ’s priority is Trump, not the truth.
Contemporary psychoanalysts might have some things to say about the causes of the underlying insecurities implicated in these behaviors.
Media is doing the credulous "new tone" thing again—as with Trump on Russia-Ukraine—presenting BS about MN/Good/Pretti/ICE as sincere.
But as @gregsargent.bsky.social argues, govt actions matter more, and Trump's rhetorical shift is an effort to maintain the brutal ICE/BP campaign, not curb it.
This is how I know it's a bad day for the country: I find myself reposting everything credible that I've not seen before, because everyone needs to understand the breadth and depth of corruption and evil in our government. Preaching to the choir here, but we all must stay white-hot angry.
Oil proceeds are going into a private account in Qatar that US Treasury cannot block. The entire arrangement is grotesquely illegal and corrupt. Rubio's answers are dissembling. And we can't seemingly even get intelligent questions for him. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Friends: While ICE leaves cities reeling and families scarred by their violence, Republicans want to fund trump's gestapo instead of funding healthcare for millions.
Let's get 1,000 quick reposts and replies with #FundHealthcareStopICE to make it trend.
Please and thank you! 🙏💪
