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.
The alarming fact is that we’re not even close to the bottom with this madman.
Can this be a solution?
Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
Just out @propublica.org: How did the Pentagon make the horrible mistake that left more than 150 school children dead? Perhaps because it cancelled an effort to limit such harm in favor of Hegseth’s lust for “lethality.”

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.

I've been struggling with how to express my dismay at the war coverage by our top newsrooms, and how it dances around the central fact that Trump is deranged and unfit to command. I finally wrote something. Please read it. presswatchers.org/2026/03/the-...
You can’t teach sociology but you can carry a gun.
I’m briefly in India. This is a facile observation, but Americans have barely scratched the surface in understanding how the rest of the world is reacting to this war. It’s already an Iraq War-style disaster in the global imagination, underscored by the thuggishness and caprice of the Trump approach
Me before bed tonight:
“Please don’t let tomorrow be one of those days that gets a proper noun in textbooks. Please please please.”

A handful of Republicans in Congress & Supreme Court can end this nightmare any time they choose, and history will remember them as saviors of the republic, no matter what terrible things they did to US in last 10 years: insane we cannot find a few volunteers for this plum deal!
Documents reveal a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate:
ProPublica is releasing a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees who declined to identify former clients.
If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.
congress needs to stop this madman
"Past wars had restrictive, minimalist rules of engagement like no bombing girls' elementary schools. No more."
The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:
Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.
kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it
Wow, who could've foreseen airspace closures during a regional war
"In attempting to eliminate the alleged regional threat that Iran poses, Trump is inviting an even greater threat to the world. For there is simply no more dangerous world than one filled with nuclear weapons." trib.al/HXDzHmL
We need to push Schumer from "you're doing war wrong" to "you started an illegal war because you're a criminal president."
All Schumer has to do is stop accepting the lies.
I’m not the world’s fourth-richest man so I don’t mean to speak out of turn here, but I think that firing your full-time foreign correspondents right before a major war might not have been a particularly wise move in terms of, you know, getting or keeping subscribers

Jesus Christ they're running the war from Mar-a-Lago
www.reuters.com/world/us/top...
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
And the @washingtonpost just eliminated its entire Middle East foreign staff including their best reporter on Iran
Don't worry about any of this heightening the threat of terrorism because this guy is still in charge and is probably at least 23 now: www.propublica.org/article/trum...
