Investigators now say the U.S. likely bombed a girls’ school in Iran, killing over 160 people, mostly children. If confirmed, it would rank among the worst civilian massacres of America’s Middle East wars.

I didn't think there was anyone in Trump's orbit that was dumber than Noem, for the exception of Boepert. But Trump seems to know just where to find them.

British Columbia is switching their clocks for the last time this Sunday.

There's a lot going on in the world right now, but there is NO reason to not make daylight saving time permanent.

Congress should pass my bill to finally lock the clock.

Leavitt: "The overall mission in this operation is to ensure that Iran can never again possess a nuclear weapon. That was the real imminent threat that was posed by Iran." (Iran never had a nuclear weapon!)

Say it plain: This is a terrible jobs report.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nearly double the expected loss of 50,000. It’s the third payroll decline in the past five months.

πŸ“ŒNote: This is one of the worst monthly payroll drops since Covid.

Trump wasn’t satisfied fucking up just the USA, he had to start a war of choice in the Middle East. Iran was not close to having anything that could strike the USA. Trump himself told everyone he β€œobliterated Irans nuclear capabilities”. His words, not mine.

An Argument Against Voting for the β€œElectable” Guy In this week’s Elie v. US, The Nation’s justice correspondent shares his thoughts on the Texas primaries. Plus, a terrible Supreme Court decision and a bad play by Major League Baseball.

In this week’s newsletter, I look forward to β€œBeto O’Rourke 2” while also explaining why SCOTUS ruled 9-0 to send an immigrant back to a hitman.
I also complain about the modernization of baseball because I’m old.

Maybe next time, if there is one, we can stop electing game show hosts and recruiting talking heads from Fox.

Falling jobs. Rising prices. Millions losing health insurance. Serial violations of fundamental freedoms. Rampant corruption. Illegal wars. Rejecting medical and climate science. Epidemics. Incompetence. Lies. Every single action of this administration is hurting Americans and weakening the country.
