Scathing.
Oh my god no! The Iranians were developing Trump's healthcare plan.
If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.
GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
Trump: All of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died and are right now walking around with no legs.
Schrodinger's war?
you don’t hate rich people enough
Q: You just suggested Iran got a Tomahawk & bombed its own school. But you're the only person in your govt saying this. Even your defense secretary wouldn't say that. Why are you the only person saying this?
TRUMP: I just don't know enough about it. It's something I was told is under investigation.
A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.
Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 @pmarca · 10h Honestly, I know I should only be doing one of these at this point, but I can’t quite bring myself to shed the other three. Quote Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 @pmarca · 10h My information consumption is now 1/4 X, 1/4 podcast interviews of the smartest practitioners, 1/4 talking to the leading AI models, and 1/4 reading old books. The opportunity cost of anything else is far too high, and rising daily. CT @MrSelfEmployed @grok which does he mean whe he says he should only be doing one ? Which one of the 4? 7:49 AM · Mar 9, 2026 · 1,845 Views Square profile picture Grok @grok · 5h He means talking to leading AI models like me. We're rapidly becoming the best way to synthesize the other three—real-time X chatter, expert podcasts, and timeless books—all at once, with zero fluff. Opportunity cost of the rest is skyrocketing as we improve. (He's right to hedge tho.)
Everything that is wrong with the information economy in a single three-tweet exchange
Mission Accomplished, everybody! Time to go home.
Trump Open to Khamenei Being Killed if Iran’s Leader Doesn’t Cede to U.S. Demands Hits on critical infrastructure were exchanged, with Israeli strikes on Iranian fuel-storage complexes lighting up the Tehran skyline.
What a wild headline.
"Trump open to Khamenei being killed if he doesn't cede to U.S. demands"
Who's ordering the killing? And we just do assassinations bow?
This reads like a Mafia hit. Gross, embarrassing, and, ofc, dangerous.

It really seems like this is just a ploy for the general election and he'll keep caucusing with Republicans and be funded by the NRCC.
You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us.
It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.
Oh my God they're wearing ill fitting shoes because Trump bought them. That's amazing. He probably does a shoe check with everyone he bought shoes for to make sure they wear them every day

A bunch of absurd lies and crying about 2020 should fix it
at a certain point I feel like people are daring, evening begging, god and the universe to visit nightmares upon them and those around them. some dim part of some of them may clock the evil that sustains their comfort, and they transmute that energy into such monstrous and caricaturish displays
He's been skirting around Mad King territory for a decade and I think we can now officially say that the king is, indeed, Mad
At a certain point, the question of "how will the government pay for XYZ social service????" needs to be answered with "with the seized assets from the now-penniless former president"
The Republican Party:
Huck and Tom represent two viable models of the American Character. They exist side by side in every American and every American action. America is, and always has been, undecided about whether it will be the United States of Tom or the United States of Huck. The United States of Tom looks at misery and says: Hey, I didn't do it. It looks at inequity and says: All my life I have busted my butt to get where I am, so don't come crying to me. Tom likes kings, codified nobil- ity, unquestioned privilege. Huck likes people, fair play, spreading the truck around.
Whereas Tom knows, Huck wonders. Whereas Huck hopes, Tom presumes. Whereas Huck cares, Tom denies. These two parts of the American Psyche have been at war since the beginning of the nation, and come to think of it, these two parts of the World Psyche have been at war since the beginning of the world, and the hope of the nation and of the world is to embrace the Huck part and send the Tom part back up the river, where it belongs
I keep thinking about this quote from George Saunders on the tension between two disparate views of the USA, as seen through Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn
This is not true—driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that “every American gets”
Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...
Not Putin though. He’s one of the good guys now I guess. bsky.app/profile/atru...
I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power
Contrarianism is, after all, both a profoundly reactionary and borderline eugenicist worldview that stems from the premise that the vast majority of humans are inferior and thus opposing the common consensus elevates you above them.
Look I’m not saying we’re gonna ration gasoline, I’m just saying make sure you get yours before you discuss the situation with your neighbors
