It’s like the pandemic disruption all over again.

Destroy global trade, but this time the war makes oil prices spike. It’s a win-win for the fossil fuel military complex.

It would be nice if we were representative of democracy on a world stage. But, as Johnson opined, we are having enough problems here at home.

It’s so fucking gross that the first thought from these deranged losers is how dystopic scenes of war and bloodshed are a “massive opportunity” for Canada’s oil oligarchs to make a quick buck.

This is Trump using our military to wrestle control of the drug trade for his control, using our taxpayer-funded military, nyet?

Police Body Cameras: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
YouTube video by LastWeekTonight Police Body Cameras: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

Oliver takes a dump on the Schumer-led Democratic demands after Alex Pretti’s shooting — “masks off, body cams on” — noting the killers had fucking body cams on, that that footage exists, that it didn’t change shit, and that we’re likely never to see it b/c they were exonerated automatically.

The war in Iran is already hugely expensive Aircraft carriers and stealth bombers are expensive to use.

Unimaginable amounts of money that could go to health care, education, environmental protection, cutting our deficit, or countless other important uses is going to fund Trump’s senseless war in Iran @ryanlcooper.com @prospect.org

Replacement cost for 3 F-15s is slightly more than what Trump is withholding from Minnesota Medicaid.

Bo French - who has called to deport Native Americans, frequently uses the R-word, pals around with Jack Posobiec, recently asked his followers if Jews or Muslims pose a bigger threat to America, and gleefully called the day SNAP benefits lapsed "National Chimp out Day" - currently leads with 41%

Our client Leo Garcia Venegas and two other victims of DHS’s lawlessness got to introduce themselves to Secretary Noem today.

The room fell silent when they stood.

This Is Not a Regime Change War. Iran Is Being Pushed Toward State Collapse. The US and Israel have killed Ayatollah Khamenei, but they seem to have no plan for what comes next.

"War doesn't operate with surgical precision. It doesn't remove one figure & install another. It shifts power to those most capable of wielding force. It weakens civil society faster than it builds alternatives. It deepens grievances that last generations"

The numbers are staggering:

Rent is now unaffordable for a record *half* of U.S. renters.

Some 30 million jobs pay less than $15 an hour. The average wage needed to afford a one-bedroom apartment has climbed to $28.17 — nearly four times the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up in 16 years.

Warren is saying “it’s so much worse than you thought” and Blumenthal says he’s more fearful than ever that we may be putting boots on the ground. Not great.

Trump’s Orwellian Board of Peace Consists Entirely of Human Rights Abusers An Intercept analysis finds that every single Board of Peace member state has been rebuked for human rights violations.

"An Intercept analysis finds that every member state of the Board of Peace has been rebuked for human rights violations, including many by Rubio’s own State Department." What a sick joke Trump is. theintercept.com/2026/03/02/t...

This case is horrifying. The man had deferred action, was on a full path to a green card, is a college grad magna cum laude, and ICE arrested him randomly while looking for someone else:

“What do we do?” said one ICE officer, to which another replied “We’re going to take him with us anyway.”

Donald Trump is using taxpayer funds to bomb Iran while he jacks up health care costs by thousands of dollars.

Bernie Sander’s 2028 litmus test would strangle America’s golden goose

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?

If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.

Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

Oh please tell me the Kurds are not that desperate to make a quid pro quo with these Trumpers.

They’re smarter than US, right?

This is why competent administrations w/carefully vetted strategies based on military and human intelligence work for months in advance to build the broadest, strongest coalitions possible—which takes negotiation, mutual respect, and shared goals. Trump did NONE of this. #TrumpsWar #ImpeachTrump

It’s absolutely appalling that the U.S. Congress is not at this very moment voting to rescind Trump’s powers to wage this war. It is destabilizing the Middle East, causing turmoil in global markets and alienating democratically led allies like Spain.
