Tesla reported a massive decrease of 71% in profits yesterday for Q1, missing already low expectations by a mile. Tesla stocks today:

BREAKING NYT: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, according to four people with knowledge of the chat.

What’s going to happen: Trump will abandon the “peace talks”, will put the blame for their failure entirely on Ukraine and Zelenskyy, and will use this as a pretext to stop aid to Ukraine and ease sanctions on Russia.

Isolating China by wrecking all your alliances and your economy and showing the entire world that you cannot be trusted. Genius move.

I mean yes, this is who the US is now.

Pretty much indistinguishable from North Korean-style propaganda and leader worshipping.

We are further from peace today because of Trump, Witkoff, and their failed strategy of appeasing russia instead of pressuring it

Doesn’t get more pathetic than this. Not much was expected of Rubio when he accepted a role in this administration but he still somehow manages to disappoint

In any functioning democracy, Trump would be immediately removed from office and prosecuted for market manipulation. In the US, nothing will happen.

This has to be one of the biggest and most obvious market manipulation schemes in history. I was wondering why US markets were markedly positive even after China announced 84% tariffs. Clearly some people with a lot of money knew about Trump’s tariff pause in advance and now made billions.

Agent Orange devastates Vietnam again.

The EU just saved the US stockmarket.

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

Trump has 34 felony convictions, is twice impeached and has been found liable for rape.

Americans, do you feel liberated yet?

Anyway, he just lost.

As his candidate is defeated in Wisconsin, Elon Musk hasn't posted in 21 minutes. This is the longest he's gone without posting in over three years.

eat shit nerd

Rightwingers in the US and Europe are hell-bent on destroying our democracies while conspiring with our enemies against our freedoms. Now, they want to make you think that it is undemocratic to prosecute them for the crimes they are committing. Don't let them fool you.

Amazing news. Now brace yourself for the inevitable attack of Elon Musk, Donald Trump and their horde of Gremlins on the French judiciary (and democracy as a whole).

This is a fantastic piece of rigorous, in-depth reporting. It will make you want to pass out with rage. But definitely read it. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Just in case anyone was wondering, every bit of this was classified. Lot of perjury in those hearings yesterday.

The Atlantic editors room hearing everyone claim under oath that there was nothing classified in that chat:

Has there ever been something so hilariously incompetent as the Secretary of Defence writing "we are currently clean on OPSEC" while actively sending detailed war plans to the editor of the Atlantic?

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

OSSOFF: Director Ratcliffe, this was a huge mistake, correct? RATLIFFE: No OSSOFF: This is an embarrassment
