WALTZ: We've known that Russia & Iran have a strategic partnership

T: But surely this is upsetting & requires action

W: If they are doing it, it certainly hasn't been effective

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

It’s a tie for me whether not knowing a Kennedy is Catholic or referring to WASP as an epithet is funnier

Correction notice from the New York Times reads: “A correction was made on March 13, 2026: An earlier version of this article described incorrectly John F. Kennedy Jr.’s religious affiliation. Mr. Kennedy was a Roman Catholic, not a “WASP” (an epithet used to refer to white Anglo-Saxon Protestants).”

This is one of the funniest corrections I’ve ever read

For me the fact that a senseless, unjustified, unjustifiable war was casually entered into with no apparent thought for consequences (or maybe even belief in consequences), and that it just happened all of a sudden without a chance for the debates and protests of previous wars: yeah, same.

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.

Today, I signed an executive order establishing the first-ever Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs and appointing the brilliant Taylor Brown as Director.

Queer New Yorkers deserve to be not just protected, but celebrated in this city. Together, we will fight for their right to live a life of dignity, safety, and unabashed pride.

And this on top of what's already happening
—Senseless Civilian and military casualties
—Destabilize Lebanon
—Massive human displacement
—Untold damage to future US foreign policy

All for one man's power trip (ok, two men). Americans, Iranians, Israelis, and the world deserve so much better.

More Marines and Warships Head to Middle East as Hormuz Mission Intensifies The Pentagon has also weighed sending more destroyers to the region to escort tankers through the strait.

So, on top of to the awful human toll, the US will:
—Crash the global economy
—Put boots on the ground in Iran?
—Undercut what's left of alliance cred in Asia
—Burn through overstretched naval assets
—Incentivize global nuclear proliferation
—Enrich Russia/China
—???

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

BREAKING: A federal judge blocked the DOJ's subpoenas against Fed Chair Jerome Powell that accused him of giving misleading testimony to Congress.

This was a pathetic attempt to intimidate Powell & bend the economy to Trump's will.

His authoritarian control is faltering.
