This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.
The day begins with a former Fox host turned Trump administration official ranting at the media over his own failings and ends with a former Fox host turned Trump administration official ranting at a judge over her own failings.
Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
When I asked about the record number of cases being rejected by federal grand jurors:
My first Q:
*record scratch*
*freeze frame*
yup, thats me. youre probably wondering how i ended up in this situation.

An astounding statement from a federal judge about the executive branch, generally; the Justice Department, more particularly; and these subpoenas, specifically.
Chat, is it good when the guy at AEI calls your war a "cluster fuck"

I cannot get over the fact that the Trump is aggressively pro-cancer. PRO CANCER. Nearly 20M Americans have cancer and more are getting it every damn day including rising rates in younger Americans. But Trump has cut cancer research funding & eliminated regulations on cancer causing agents. WTF
This is a spectacular piece of writing.
Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.
"WTAF?"
Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
“War is hell.”
And that is why the US Constitution and UN Charter sharply restrict going to war in the first place.
But POTUS violated both and went to war on a whim for spectacle and amusement.
Do these guys think "Orwellian" is a compliment?

If Morning Memo has helped you keep your wits about you, steady your balance, or make some sense of the senseless during the first year of the Trump II presidency, then please seriously consider becoming a TPM member during our annual membership drive: talkingpointsmemo.com/memberships
Hahahhahahahaha toy soldier really hopes you think the military academy is the military!
It ain’t lol
the country is at war and the president is leaving DC this afternoon for a weekend at his private club in Florida that he'll spend with his paying customers
Trump's gift to Putin to get his own ass out of the sling is both a huge concession to Russia and an unmistakeable admission that the elective war in Iran is having acute downstream political effects on Trump and Republicans in an election year.
Too much to keep track of, but don't sleep on AG Bondi's new proposed rule that would let DOJ lawyers avoid key ethics checks that prohibit lying to court. Ratcheting up the assault on courts & the reality-based world at the same time. Mine in today's NYT. (Gift Link)
NEW -- In a particularly unhinged performance, the defense secretary and former Fox News weekend host says he doesn't "worry" about the Strait of Hormuz, that it is "open" except for all the shooting by Iran, and that David Ellison should take over CNN.

UFC-trained FBI agents are on it, for sure
oh this is why Hegseth was so big mad at CNN this morning
"Trump’s national security team failed to fully account for the potential consequences of what some officials have described as a worst-case scenario now facing the administration, the sources said."
www.cnn.com/2026/03/12/p...
excellent deep dive into all of the ways that the Trump administration has used the federal budget to keep punishing critics and trying to bend them to his will. FWIW, this is precisely how Viktor Orban crushed the opposition in Hungary 15 years ago. The national budget is a powerful weapon.

Look who's having his underlings "leak" to reporters that he was never on board with this whole Iran war in the first place

The Senate Republicans' version of invading Iran? A lot of bluster, not much of a plan?
On the "we've been at war with Iran for 47 years" and "Trump is the 47th president," all I can say is that a lot of his base is really into numerology
