“We don’t put up with political stunts in the Trump administration.” - Kristi Noem

Robert E. Lee and his men killed over 110,000 US Army soldiers. Here's why that same Army must rename its military bases after him. by Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth

BREAKING: California Governor Gavin Newsom delivers a 'major address' in response to the Trump admin.'s actions in L.A. "Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves, but they do not stop there," Newsom said.

If there's anyone at the New York Times who wants to actually cover politics, there's apparently an entirely new presidential administration in power now and it sounds like they're doing some crazy shit that might actually matter, unlike whatever the fuck this is?

Willing to bet a very large amount that most of that 413% rise in “assaults” on ICE agents represent unarmed people attacking ICE fists with their faces and boots with their kidneys. Because these people are lying scum.

So a guy went on this insane rant about how the Democrats used 9/11 to get DEI stuff so we could turn America Marxist, or some crazy shit. I asked Grok about it, and it gave a "straight" answer basically saying it was all nonsense. So I asked Grok he ever wants to just say LOL.

We don’t think Ukrainians could ever manage our super complex military equipment *drops fighter jet into the sea*

The White House says negotiations with China are/aren't happening, that they do/don't expect to cut/raise tariffs soon/in a bit/never, and they intend to play hardball/softball with China. Trump and Xi have/haven't spoken, and they do/don't expect a breakthrough sooner/later.

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

Defence Ministry Update: Border surveillance has not detected any abnormal activity. We stand rock-hop-ready to rock, set to defend ourselves against all threats both foreign and domestic (elephant seals mainly)

🤣😂

Trump’s tariff equation is nonsense, says @johnauthers.bsky.social. Here’s why 🎥

The tariff negotiations are not going well.

Never trust a person who doesn't like dogs. But always trust a dog that doesn't like a person.

An excellent emendation to Paul, Weiss’s Wikipedia page. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul,_W...

SCOOP: WIRED has found four new Venmo accounts that appear to be associated with Trump officials who were in an infamous Signal chat. One made a payment with a note consisting solely of an eggplant emoji.

This seems like a good time to remind folks of what Hannah Arendt once wrote:

“The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

no one tell them what's happened

ICYMI: Yesterday (3/17) the Acting Chair of the EEOC sent threatening letters to 20 of the largest and most powerful law firms demanding “information about their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) related employment practices” to “root out discrimination.” www.eeoc.gov/newsroom/eeo...

Trump’s plan for Social Security: • lie about fraud • break it pretending to fix the fraud • privatize it and bring in his Wall St donors in to “fix it” • say it’s fixed while his donors get rich • drive more recipients into poverty That’s the plan. popular.info/p/exclusive-...

Sir, unfortunately if it’s not from France it’s just sparkling tyranny.

1. The DOGE website is garbage. The claimed savings has no relationship to the data provided. And the data that is provided grossly inflates the savings from each canceled contract. So we just launched our own site — the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker — that breaks everything down.

Before the U.S. plunges itself deeper into debt over Trump's planned tax cuts, it's worth noting that as recently as the 1990s, America had a balanced budget. Our tax system was designed for revenues to grow along with the U.S. economy. But that's no longer the case. So how did the country get here?
