Header: Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack: Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been spare in his remarks following the attempted bombing at Gracie Mansion and arrests of two men who said they were motivated by ISIS.
Man it’s so fucking obvious when the times hates a politician.
Since it's racist Randy Fine,I think there's a subtext here beyond difference of opinion.
BREAKING: Judge Brann has ejected the new leaders of the NJ U.S. attorney's office, once again finding the Trump administration is illegally attempting to circumvent Senate confirmation.
He says this could result in dismissals of indictments.

Breaking out this Jules Feiffer comic from 1988, about the time the US shot down an Iranian civilian airliner and how the DC villager class reacted.

Signs you might be a far right authoritarian party (#3330):
Maybe they relied on AI to pick targets. But they bombed the school twice, hitting it again 40 minutes after the initial strike, in order to kill survivors and first responders. The mere *existence* of AI means no one has to be held responsible for this crime against humanity
Who the fuck is demonizing homeowners? It's landlords we hate
This is the strategic advantage Iran has. Everything you see on this map is within drone range of the Strait of Hormuz. A low-flying drone could hit a tanker with minutes warning. To get to normal levels, you need 160 tankers a day. You'd have to escort all of them, costing billions.
When asked why he was the only person in his administration claiming that Iran has access to the American Tomahawk cruise missile, the weapon likely used to strike a girls' school in Iran, Trump replied, “Because I just don’t know enough about it.”https://to.pbs.org/4ukeKvT
Winning the hearts and minds of the Iranian people, I see.
It's not enough to prevent hormonal transition, they want to enforce gender stereotypes now, claiming they are divinely ordained despite the fact that the bulk of them come from an idealized version of the 1950s and are ridiculously ahistorical even within the limited western context.
IMPORTANT & BREAKING: Iran's IRGC says any Arab or European country that expels the ambassadors of Israel and the United States from its territory will, starting tomorrow, have full authority and freedom to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
If it's not made a crime to sell your personal data and location to third parties - organizations like ICE are going to keep buying and using it
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
Hey, friends. My incarcerated friend, Jeremiah, would like some help getting Bibles into the hands of some of his peers. I ask you to put aside any negative feelings about religion you might have to help folks in the way they have asked to be helped. /1
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
Oops! Looks like "Chicago Progressive Partnership" (the supposedly separate super PAC running this attack ad) just outed themselves and confirmed the speculation that it's the same group (AIPAC) behind the pro-Fine/anti-Biss super PAC "Elect Chicago Women" aka: ECW
"ECW: You are now opted-out..."
In a press conference on the conflict in Iran, Trump says he "knew oil prices would go up."
He also noted the conflict was discussed in a phone call with Putin, who apparently told Trump he was "very impressed" with what he saw.
If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.
GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.
Dear Mr. President: I write to apprise you of military action taken on March 6, 2026, against the facilities of narco-terrorists affiliated with a designated terrorist organization. This action was taken at the invitation of, with the consent of, and in partnership with the Government of the Republic of Ecuador. As you know, United States Armed Forces are engaged in operations to protect the United States by combatting extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels designated as terrorist organizations. To combat these organizations and to deny them sanctuary and freedom of operation, we have engaged friendly foreign nations to provide limited operational basing of combat-equipped forces. On March 2, 2026, I separately notified you of changes in the global posture of United States Armed Forces in the Western Hemisphere. At the invitation and with the consent of the Government of the Republic of Ecuador, United States Armed Forces partnered with Ecuadorian Armed Forces to strike on March 6, 2026, the facilities of narco-terrorists affiliated with a designated terrorist organization. United States Armed Forces planned and executed this mission in a manner designed to empower a partner nation, degrade narco-terrorist activities, and minimize civilian casualties. Although present for this partnered operation, United States ground forces did not come into contact with hostile forces. I directed this military action to advance United States national security and foreign policy interests and to fulfill my responsibility to protect Americans at home and abroad. I acted pursuant to my constitutional authority as Commander in Chief and as Chief Executive to conduct United States foreign relations.
I am providing this report as part of my efforts to keep the Congress fully informed, consistent with the War Powers Resolution (Public Law 93-148). I appreciate the support of the Congress in this action. The Honorable Charles Grassley President pro tempore of the Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Sincerely,
New:
Strange war powers report to Congress for the recent partnered US military op in Ecuador.
I interpret this as a hostilities report notwithstanding this disclaimer:
"Although present for this partnered operation, United States ground forces did not come into contact with hostile forces." 1/n
AOC came out swinging against age verification legislation and somehow the entire tech press seems to not have noticed?
call your reps. This package was pushed through the house.
"Iran has some Tomahawks" is a shit lie, even by Trump's standards.
Booooooo, you're no fun, NBA

The widely used satellite imagery provider, Planet Labs, has announced there will now be a two week delay on imagery related to the current conflict in Iran to commercial customers.
potato and butter, a pretty good combo (although I'm sure it's a bit more than just that)
If we assume that annualized revenue refers to four weeks of revenue multiplied by twelve, this would mean that Anthropic made $1.16 billion - or more than 23% of its LIFETIME REVENUE - in the period leading up to Feb 12 2026. That doesn’t seem likely.
