Screenshot of two social media posts. The first, from Stephen Miller, says young men should vote for Trump to avoid being drafted into a “3rd World War.” The second, from Tulsi Gabbard, criticizes Trump for escalating conflict with Iran and accuses him of pursuing regime change despite antiwar rhetoric.

Young men are now being told, by Stephen Miller, that the way to avoid a Third World War is to entrust their futures to the draft-dodger presently starting one, while Tulsi discovers, too late, that the con man she sold as a peace candidate has mislaid his principles somewhere over Tehran

A screenshot of a Truth Social post by “Donald J. Trump” with his profile picture showing an American flag icon. The post is written in all‑caps style political rhetoric over several paragraphs. In the text, Trump says the United States will not allow a “radical left, woke company” to dictate how the military fights wars and that this authority belongs to the commander‑in‑chief and his military leaders. He calls people at “Anthropic” “leftwing nut jobs” who made a “disastrous mistake” by trying to strong‑arm the Department of War into following Anthropic’s terms of service instead of the Constitution, claiming this puts American lives, troops, and national security in jeopardy. He then states that he is directing every federal agency to immediately stop using Anthropic’s technology, saying the government does not need or want it and will not do business with them again. He mentions a six‑month phase‑out period for agencies such as the Department of War that are currently using Anthropic products. He warns that Anthropic must cooperate during this period or he will use the full power of the presidency to make them comply, with “major civil and criminal consequences” to follow. He closes by saying that “we” will decide the fate of the country, not a “radical left AI company,” thanks readers for their attention, and ends with “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” The footer shows engagement metrics (383 “ReTruths” and 1.06k likes) and a timestamp of “2/27/26, 12:47 PM PST.”

Manbaby yielding his power threatening the “full power of the presidency” and criminal consequences over a contractual dispute is precisely the kind of authoritarian misuse of state power against dissenting institutions he spent his life criticizing

a post that says the following: State of the Union addresses are typically an opportunity for presidents to dictate the legislative agenda to their party colleagues in Congress. Under divided government, this comes across as scolding, where the president tries to embarrass the opposing party into adopting his popular issues. But in unified, one-party government like we have now, it’s a signal: The president has a set of policies that congressional leaders just need to corral the votes for and pass. This, of course, is not a typical president, and more important, it’s not a typical majority. It’s not really a majority at all: With 218 Republicans and 214 Democrats, the House currently has a one-vote margin to pass any party-line legislation, and those numbers won’t really change until a special election in California concludes in August, by which time everyone will be back home campaigning for the midterms. Since compromise is not in the MAGA vocabulary, this means Republicans need total or near-total consensus on any bill, which doesn’t really exist. It’s not hard to understand why Donald Trump was left with nothing to offer to Congress as an agenda; he doesn’t believe he needs to ask anyone to increase his power, and should instead be allowed to fulfill his own whims without limits. It is harder to figure what members of Congress, particularly the Republicans who have run Washington since the beginning of last year, are going to say when they come before their non-rich constituents. What have they delivered to them, outside of chaos, higher prices, and a few measly tax cuts?

In a quiet stretch of rural Mississippi, life has changed almost overnight. Residents who once enjoyed still mornings and open skies now describe a constant roar like jet engines running day and night. The source isn’t an airport or a highway. It’s Elon Musk. Who installed a cluster of temporary methane gas turbines brought in to power massive AI data operations tied to a new industrial project near Southaven. What began with 18 turbines has now grown to 27, with plans filed to install 41 permanent units on the 114-acre site. The project is part of what state officials have called the largest private investment in Mississippi history a multi-billion-dollar expansion focused on artificial intelligence infrastructure and data centers. But for neighbors living just down the road, the headline investment feels very different. Families report nonstop noise, sleepless nights, and concerns about air quality. Property values are suddenly in question. Long-time residents say they weren’t prepared for heavy industrial activity operating around the clock in what had been a rural area.

A block of text about George Orwell’s 1984 and shrinkflation. The writer recalls the chocolate ration scene where the Party cuts the ration from 30g to 20g, then celebrates the “increase” to 20g the next day, calling it ultimate gaslighting because people cheer while losing chocolate. The final highlighted sentence reads: “Shrinkflation is just Orwellian Doublethink in the grocery aisle.”

Kash Patel is wasted at the Olympics, Pete Hegseth is obsessed with people knowing he works out, Donald Trump is throwing a global temper tantrum about tariffs, Pam Bondi is yelling about the Dow, and JD Vance is on a "How long have you worked here?" tour. Welcome to the circus.

Screenshot of a Truth Social post by Donald J. Trump dated February 25, 2026. In the lengthy post, he criticizes Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib over their behavior during the State of the Union, using insulting language and suggesting they should be sent back “from where they came.” He also attacks actor Robert De Niro and Rosie O’Donnell, calling them mentally unwell and low IQ. The post ends with him praising America as “Bigger, Better, Richer, and Stronger than ever before” and is signed “PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.” Engagement metrics are visible below the post.
