The Constitution makes it motherfucking abundantly clear that presidential pardon power is absolute and there is no fucking magical unicorn provision for subsequent presidents to rescind “void” or “vacate” said pardons…

Giving up command of the strongest military coalition on the planet to save 0.03% of the defense department's annual budget. Genius. 🙄 nbcnews.to/3DMBQpM

This man is deeply unwell.

For all of the noise and the hype, the basic facts are these: Ukraine and has agreed to an unconditional ceasefire. Russia has not. And tonight, Putin keeps on bombing.

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

I remember it being unpleasant & a lot less fudge-y.

I played golf yesterday & won the iguana championship at my home course. I ordered a 4 foot high trophy for me No prizes for anyone else in the tournament as there actually wasnt anyone else. I scored a 1 on every hole as I conceded on every tee so I didnt have to walk far I didnt actually show up

And remember, nobody- nobody at all - knows what will happen next with a (genuine) constitutional crisis. Not the government, not the courts, and certainly not the pundits. That is why it is a crisis. The outcome cannot be predicted.

The US Director of National Intelligence is retweeting a far-right conspiracy theorist based in Malaysia.

Everything we have stood around the world going back 80 years - collective security, honoring alliances, helping friends & allies, feeding the hungry, treating & curing diseases, humanitarian aid, the rule of law, broadcasting truthful news to people who can’t get it - all gone.

NEW "Oopsie" - the word that means the United States has now tipped into a constitutional crisis The US federal government disregards a court order and jokes about it on social media By me Substack: emptycity.substack.com/p/oopsie-the... Personal blog: davidallengreen.com/2025/03/oops...

People have been leaving flowers at the site where streamer Mogami Ai (Sato Airi) was murdered by a man to whom she owed money. Others have disrespected or trashed the site, showing some men will go to great lengths to hate women - even after they're dead. buff.ly/6zuZzWr #Japan

How is this prediction going so far?

Nancy Panel By Ernie Bushmiller

Almost 2100 years ago, these guys somehow figured out how to solve the prisoners’ dilemma

I’m not leaving the Dem party. I’ve been here for 33 years. If guys like Schumer wanna vote with republicans, THEY can leave the Dem party and join the GOP.

This guy, who became rich off tax money, is fine now, but thinks other peoples pain is funny and cool. Tax elon

On March 31st, the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan will host a talk by Jake Adelstein about his recent book, The Last Yakuza. Focusing on the history of the local underworld and one real-life yakuza's path through it, this will be one you won't want to miss. unseen-japan.com/last-chance-...

I hate to say ‘I told you so’ but… I told you so. Seven years ago:

They started with the undocumented, then they went after visa holders and permanent residents, now it's naturalized citizens. How many times must history rhyme and repeat before we realize what's going on?

One of my kids has dyslexia. After a lot of effort, she can and does read every day. It isn't just the ignorance of this claim that is offensive; it's the arrogance in the face of evidence to the contrary.

Oh this is lovely. I didn't spot it until now

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

I find "listen to the women" excellent advice in this specific case and... in life in general. ♀️ #VoteNO 👎

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Good work from Khan. The London Fire Brigade appear to have lost their fucking minds. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Grifter in chief. Embarrassing. Nauseating
