The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
!["We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done," journalist Garrett Graff wrote: "A superpower is [dying by] suicide because the [Republican] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever."

It’s going to be all on us
The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
The Senate must reject this bill.
How about deposing the person who concocted the Department of Grifting Efficiency, aka "DOGE"?
🧵 The government was defeated in the House of Lords 3 times yesterday, 11 March 2026.
The government was defeated 215 to 180 votes on amendment 387A to the Crime and Policing Bill at report stage.

Kind of funny this will mean eliminating the only members who are currently elected.
<career military 4star general> - “Here is our carefully researched paper, vetted by every single branch and backed by decades of on the ground feedback on why we shouldn’t create the John Wick ayatollah”
<Trump Administration> “at long last, we have created the John Wick Ayatollah”
This is silly and false. The only operators of Tomahawk missiles are the U.S. Navy, Royal Australian Navy, Royal Netherlands Navy and Royal Navy. Iran has no Tomahawk missiles. If it did, it’d have no way to launch them.
Some of the 92 hereditary peers who were set to be booted out will stay on as life peers, in a compromise to get the bill passed
Has echoes of the original compromise negotiated under Tony Blair (which led to a big block of hereditaries staying). Blair should have forced it through, but here we are
Trump is in serious trouble. His war is deeply unpopular. He's now in the toilet on the economy, immigration, and national security. His public standing is getting close to being broken in an irreparable way, akin to Bush after Iraq and Katrina:

A cabinet with one or two catastrophic picks like Noem, Hegseth, RFK, or Bondi would be among the worst in American history. All of them at the same time? Unlike anything we've ever seen.

It is THE fundamental problem. To survive and prosper we must make billionaires history. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.
The most consistent thing about Starmer's Number 10 is that they make pretty much every decision as politically painful as possible.
Here’s the thing: a President openly contemptuous of Congress & willing, unilaterally, to recklessly and illegally commit the US to wars of aggression is an existential threat to the Republic, *regardless* of whether he can ultimately explain his acts to Congress.
The demand must be impeachment.
The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.
Very much this. Westminster relying on muscle memory of two-party politics is in no fit shape for politics as it is now playing out in the country.
Excellent 🧵.
Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators
Beyond the horrifying, lawless nature of this — which I have written about repeatedly — this is one of those things that we are just stuck with — not for the future, but, to the extent it has happened, as reality — and we are all less safe for it.
“She has a message for other tourists considering a trip to America:
“‘Don’t go – not with Trump in charge. It’s totally out of control over there. There’s no accountability. They don’t seem to need a reason for detaining you.’”
“‘I am begging my fellow politicians, my fellow Americans to realize that right now in this country we are not fighting over policy or political party,’ Pritzker said. ‘We are fighting over whether we are going to be a civilization rooted in empathy and kindness—or one rooted in cruelty and rage.’”
What would a typical worker earn today if their wages had grown as fast as CEO pay over the past 50 years?
Take a guess and watch this video to find out.
Honestly curious if anyone has done messaging on Trump’s parsons-for-cash scheme because it is leagues beyond what any previous president had done
I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
For the visual learners…
Ben Smith: I don’t know if Stephen Miller resigns before the midterms, resigns after the midterms, or sticks around. But this feels like that moment when a president puts a lot of confidence in one adviser to steer national policy in a direction that turns out to be politically disastrous.
