As too many Republicans push anti-Muslim messaging, GOP leaders remain silent It would be easy for any party leader to issue a perfunctory statement saying Republicans are against religious bigotry. That hasn’t happened.

As a growing number of Republican officials push anti-Muslim messages, it’d be easy for a GOP leader to issue a perfunctory statement saying the party is against religious bigotry.

But that hasn’t happened — which speaks volumes.

The worst cabinet in American history And it's not even close.

"Comically unqualified, intensely partisan, & unflaggingly devoted to whatever ridiculous thing bubbled out of Trump’s mouth 5 minutes ago, as the next DHS secretary, Mullin will fit right in what will undoubtedly be regarded as the worst presidential cabinet in history." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

"later Monday, a person close to Antonio said his release from the center in Raymondville had been delayed until the Republican congresswoman could arrive for a photo opportunity."

Cocky Iran Hawks Forget the History of Blowback Iran hawks like Lindsey Graham promise that the bombing will be quick and decisive. History suggests otherwise.

“the Taliban kept fighting for two decades until they…regained power…Iran is a government similar to Afghanistan’s Taliban regime except…it’s much bigger and more deeply entrenched …even if it did fall, we have no reason to believe its followers would vaporize” washingtonmonthly.com/2026/03/10/i...

Stick to Florida you ignorant redneck.

Ted Cruz: "I don't think there's any possibility that this becomes a long, protracted military engagement"

Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, “Wyoming is missing”

In Trump’s Washington, Congress has little power left Trump’s second presidency has accelerated the growth of executive power at the expense of the legislative branch, raising concerns about the balance of powers.

Credit Bureaus Are Leaving More Mistakes on Frustrated Consumers’ Reports Under Trump’s CFPB The credit bureaus have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help since the Trump administration began dismantling the CFPB.

The Pete Hegseth Exception Nearly a year after a national-security scandal erupted on my iPhone, no one in the Trump administration has faced consequences.

"It is an obvious truth that discipline, morale, and order can be maintained in military formations only if everyone—from four-star generals to the youngest 'boot' privates—is held equally accountable for their actions."

“Very complete, pretty much”

*HEGSETH: TODAY WILL BE MOST INTENSE DAY OF STRIKES

Hegseth: "This is not endless. This is not protracted. We're not allowing mission creep. The president has set a very specific mission to accomplish, and our job is to unrelentingly deliver that. He gets to control the throttle."

Early Iran strikes cost $5.6 billion in munitions, Pentagon estimates The figure, accounting for the war’s first two days, is likely to intensify concerns in Congress that U.S. forces are churning through a scarce supply of advanced weaponry.

The Pentagon calculated it was spending $1 billion a day on Trump and Netanyahu’s war. The truth? It was $3 billion…and that’s just for munitions.

Plus they’ve alarmed everyone by burning through scarce munitions in a matter of days.

Hegseth, whose forces blew up a girls' school, is accusing the enemy of "indiscriminate targeting."

Hegseth reads from the Bible at his update today, reinforcing the impression that the illegal war is a Christian nationalist crusade.

Hegseth: "I see in the media banners that say, 'War expanding' or 'War spreading' -- it's actually the opposite. It's actually quite contained."

Watch: Tuesday will be most intense day of strikes on Iran, Hegseth says U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine hold a briefing on Iran.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday would be the most intense day of strikes against Iran in the campaign so far.

Trump sends mixed signals on when Iran War might End

Trump Zigzags on When War Will End

I’m not sure whether “mixed signals” or “zigzags” captures the fact that, in an unhinged press conference, Trump said completely contradictory things about the war that he started without explaining its goals or endgame and without getting Congressional approval.

He’s not a man he’s a vial of synthetic testosterone in a toupee.

US as a junior partner in this military campaign

The worst cabinet in American history And it's not even close.

“He has no national security experience, no law enforcement experience, and no experience in immigration or any of the other issues the department deals with.

On the other hand, he did run his family’s plumbing business.”

Every money bill should tithe for farmers.

Lyndsey knows I am sure

Yep

We destroyed their bases- remember

Trump has taken the past success of his lies as encouragement to bullshit the public in ever more ridiculous ways.

He is using that as cover for the damage trumps tariffs have done.
