I'd like to humbly propose that Trump finance this war personally, preferably with Kushner and Witkoff. For my part, I would even be willing to forego 10% of my tariff refund if he did.

Glad this was vetoed. We agree this bill injected politics into a function of government that should remain nonpartisan. Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed SB1439, which would have created a special “Turning Point” license plate and directed $17 of the $25 fee to Turning Point USA.

A new plaque now marks the site of the January 6, 2021 Capitol assault, positioned near the West Front steps where some of the most intense clashes between rioters and law enforcement unfolded.

The memorial, honoring officers who defended the building and sustained injuries that day, was installed quietly by workers arriving three years after legislation mandated its placement

If oil prices spike, working families feel it first at the pump, at the store, everywhere. Dismissing those concerns as foolish ignores real economic pain.

Essential read: a statement from Cardinal Cupich. www.archchicago.org/statement/-/...

“Our government is treating the suffering of the Iranian people as a backdrop for our own entertainment … But, in the end, we lose our humanity when we are thrilled by the destructive power of our military. … The longer we remain blind to the terrible consequences of war ...

... the more we are risking the most precious gift God gave us: our humanity.

“I know that the American people are better than this.”

"We can't last 35 more months with what we've seen over the last 13.

We cannot do it. We will not survive it as a nation."

"He seems to have had no idea that the Gulf would be a target. … He professed that Iran’s attacks on American allies were 'probably the biggest surprise'—despite the fact that just about every country in the region had warned that Iran would surely attack them in retaliation."

The jokes write themselves.

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

This @postandcourier.bsky.social investigation of the woman accusing Pres Trump and Epstein of sexual assault is excellent. The allegations remain unproven. But the reporters confirmed elements of her story, and blackmail by Epstein illuminates his approach. www.postandcourier.com/news/epstein...

Evidence is already unraveling Trump’s story

When asked about the Minab school strike, Trump said it was Iran’s missile.

But evidence points the other way. Investigators say a US strike aimed at a nearby Revolutionary Guard site likely hit a girls’ elementary school instead.

Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would

Jesus, Japan’s Nikkei index is down over 4,000 points, over 7%

South Korea’s KOSPI is down 8% and hit a circuit breaker.

Tomorrow is gonna be brutal, but it will probably also eventually make Trump TACO.

He’s also sending Witkoff and Kushner to Israel on Tuesday.

Probably nothing to do with global markets cratering and oil going parabolic

Happy International Women's Day. I wrote about what that means right now.

We lock up more women than almost any country on earth. Reproductive rights are being gutted. The DEI rollbacks are stripping programs that gave women a fair shot. Healthcare funding just took the biggest cut in U.S. history.

I talked about these DJT-centric semiquincentennial trademarks and national identity this evening.

The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.
