Aside from the Russia sanctions being removed, this actually kind of screws Russia. Now it no longer has Syria OR the Ayatollah.
Tucker can’t admit that Trump is behind this, otherwise he looks like a sucker
Yes and no. People I know have said Hegseth pissed off the brass early on and ironically, him sacking a lot of the women and Black military leadership means only the old white dudes (who have been there for a minute) are left and they really don’t like him. Remember when he called them fat?
Ha! No problem
McConnell voted against him! He clearly saw Hegseth as a lightweight. And McConnell is a massive hawk.
For all of Tucker Carlson’s talk of Trump being “manipulated” into going into war by the “deep state,” it seems pretty clear the military leadership told Trump this would cause the Strait of Hormuz to be closed off and at minimum, would impose heavy costs. This wasn’t the deep state. Trump wanted it
Passed by the gas station on Capitol Hill and gas is at $4.89 for regular.
The new rules for the independent military newspaper are the Defense Department's latest effort to put extraordinary restrictions on journalists covering the agency.
These kinds of stories don’t get out unless Hegseth has pissed off the brass

Casar said he knew Trump would win in 2024 when Latino men told him Trump was focused on the economy when Democrats were focused on other policies like “gay stuff.” Now we are seeing Hispanics snap back to Democrats

Laura Loomer warned that if Trump endorsed Cornyn, the base would stay home during the midterms

Their best studio album
Brendan Carr, the chairman of the FCC, threatened on Saturday to revoke broadcasters’ licenses over their coverage of the war with Iran. His comments came after President Trump criticized the news media’s coverage in a post on social media. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/w...
She was for a while. She broke through in the polls earlier. When people started talking about Buttigieg, my response was “what is a Pete Buttigieg and why should I care about a small town mayor?”
The only two substantive things that have broke through I have noticed were ICE killing Americans (and sadly there was not as much empathy for migrants) and anything RFK Jr. and even then I worry if RFK Jr. news breaks through because it serves the public or people think he’s a kook
It’s more frustration. As much as people say they want substantive news stories, they don’t read stories about climate change or Medicaid or SNAP or taxes. They read about the gossip. And that means editors want us to chase that rather than the meaty substantive stories
Latinas actually had a bigger shift to Trump than men did
Which is a shame
I mean, I fact check claims plenty of times. It’s not about platforming sides. And I have written plenty of negative stories about lawmakers who talk to me. The point I was making was that when elected officials don’t respond, it makes them look worse because it looks like a coverup

Trump wants to declare a quick victory in Iran. But wars end when the enemy say they do.
They want to keep the party going until the last possible hour.
You could also say the same thing about the proliferation of pornography on OnlyFans happening at the same time that abortion rights are being rolled back. Commodification and rolling back of rights often do go hand in hand.
Inside all of us there is a raccoon that wants to eat garbage, and our news diets are no different.
So happy for the younger WWE fans who have only seen nice-guy Randy and not the Apex Predator Legend Killer Viper Randy Orton.
Meanwhile, I remember being in the back room of a conference filing another story where Vivek Ramaswamy spoke thinking, "why should I care about this guy." To hearing him win over the crowd and thinking "did I miss something? Maybe I should I should start recording."
FWIW, I covered DeSantis briefly when he was in Congress and the idea he was this GOP golden boy never stuck with me because I couldn't shake the image of him from back then, which was he left no impression on me. He had negative juice.
Funny thing: DeSantis got completely thrashed in his 2024 primary run. A lot of newsrooms hired former Florida reporters to cover him when DeSantis had spent his governorship thrashing reporters and... well, we all remember the stories about him being an awkward dork abounded.
I appreciate it still. Genuinely. Made my day.
This just triggered a question: Mamdani used to wear these shirts more frequently (I don't know what they are called). Somewhere in the primary, he started wearing suits more. That seems to have made him relatable. Curious what caused that decision.
It's gonna be One Battle After Another
