Anyone else have the feeling that Trump has already floated the idea of the Navy escorting tankers through Hormuz (to the Navy) and they told him no, but he can’t admit that the threat is not eliminated?
Catch up quickly. Learn some stuff.
Notes: Congress, the House & the Senate, are the only ones that can make a law. The House is the only chamber that can originate a revenue measure.
Congress can override the President.

A Golf club firm owned by Trump’s sons is merging with a drone manufacturer.
But nothing to see here, right? Cause a golf club manufacturing company and drone manufacturer with Israeli ties merger is perfectly fucking normal.

Carl withdrew from the nomination process today.
Saying that you -must- be grateful is what domestic abusers and Russian prison guards do. You must take the violence and say you like it. It is a mark of fascism.
Mark Kelly: We would have to fight a ground war to "totally obliterate" Iran's nuclear capability - we're in this war because one person, Trump, ripped up the Nuclear Deal.
Pentagon Announces Seventh U.S. Death in War With Iran www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/w...
Devices hurled near NYC mayor’s residence were viable IEDs per NYPD: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
I discuss with Laura Coates the concern over terror sleeper cells in the West: video.snapstream.net/Play/7VFCpRW...
We shouldn’t need an exclusive report from one outlet’s sources to tell us how many of our troops are wounded. The Pentagon confirmed the number when confronted, but that’s too late: www.reuters.com/world/middle...
Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."
One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.
But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?
They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.
Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."
“In my 15 years in the Senate, I have never left a briefing this angry. We are heading down a path toward sending U.S. troops to Iran as ground forces,” — Sen. Richard Blumenthal
JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.
Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.
(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)
This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.
They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.
BREAKING: The Texas Secretary of State DID NOT UPDATE the precinct maps on their website last December. MY GOD @msnowreports.bsky.social
A democratic candidate just won in the *checks notes*
Arkansas state house special election.
Flip from R to D.
BLUMENTHAL: Is the agent who shot Ms Martinez sill on the job?
NOEM: Our officers conduct operations every day-
B: Is he still on the job carrying a gun?
N: I dunno
B: Would you agree he shouldn't be?
N: I'll get back to you
B: I think Americans would find it absolutely terrifying if he is
She…is being confronted by both sides…..and not responding well.
Not even by yelling about the Dow.
I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.
Excuse me?
IYKYK 🤣
This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t
