Good morning on Day 1476 of Russia's 3-day special operation to take Kyiv. In fairness, I did hear that one of Putin's slaves did TAKE some Chicken Kyivs from the bunker freezer on Day 23 😝

Here's another daily🧵- All the news, every single day.

The fact that Donald Trump is going to try to subvert the 2026 elections doesn't mean he will be successful. We have shown before that we can fight back in court and win. The key is that we must educate everyone about what is going to happen and what they can do as well to defend democracy.

Trump told us who he was in 2012. Will we finally believe him today? Trump has always been an election denier. He has always vilified voting. He has always started with lies, escalated to the courts, and ultimately embraced violent rhetoric.

One of the most important things I have written in a while. I hope you read, learn and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

That's 44,118 truck loads.

And that's just 1 Wind Turbine.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

I’m not a big curling guy, but I get the significance of this, and WOW it’s mind-blowing. Some are calling it the best shot in curling history! #TeamCanada at the #ParalympicGames.

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.

Put Trump’s criticism of Starmer and other democratic leaders against his consistent syrupy praise for authoritarian, brutal leaders.
Starmer is in good company. Just remind yourself how Trump praises authoritarian antidemocratic leaders in this thread. It’s an eye opener 🧵 1/

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

FDA’s controversial vaccine chief will exit agency next month | CNN The US Food and Drug Administration’s head of vaccines and biologic medicines will leave the agency at the end of April, a spokesperson confirmed to CNN on Friday.

Vinay Prasad has been an a noxious influence on public health and drug regulation. Good riddance. UCSF should not take him back. He should wander in the wilderness forever. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/h...

Strongly-put, but much true:

Universities should stand up for our shared principles—democracy, equality, promoting the general welfare, academic freedom...and good-faith, honest engagement.

Prasad did not uphold those ideals.
UCSF should judge him; we as members of civil society should.

This is incredible. UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

BREAKING:

The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released.

They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump.

DOC 1: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

Holy shit, DOJ posted the missing Epstein files containing the sexual assault allegations from one of the victims, who was a teen at the time.

The allegations were against BOTH trump and Epstein.

THEY FINALLY DID IT! Sheldon Whitehouse officially called out the connections between Trump, Epstein, and Russia on the Senate floor.

Bensky: And then we have the moment where all of my information is released. All of these other survivors — all of our information is literally out there for the world to see. And you’re like, “Wow, the DOJ really — our government doesn’t care.”
