Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.

“I have no intention of starting a war with you” I say as I airstrike your entire government into dust, sink your whole navy, destroy your air force, and demand your unconditional surrender

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

This news is damning evidence of Donald Trump's irresponsible & chaotic policies.

He is shamefully harming our economy and as a result, working people are losing their jobs—especially Black women.

Markwayne Mullin Reportedly Fingered Nostrils of Colleagues and Their Spouses During Visit to Israel A former House Republican claims that in 2015, Markwayne Mullin – then a congressman – took photos of himself putting his finger up the noses of...

I am demanding that the Democrats invite Mullin’s accusers to testify about this weirdo behavior in painstaking detail.

I want charts. Expert witnesses. Reenactments.

An Army Corps project could wipe out one of Florida’s last thriving coral reefs The fate of one of the last thriving coral reefs in Florida may be imperiled by plans to widen the shipping channel leading into Port Everglades.

The US army corps of engineers is considering, right now, what would be the largest destruction of coral reefs in US history. To make a port slightly bigger.

People know this, right?

Poll: A majority of Americans opposes U.S. military action in Iran Most Americans disapprove of President Trump's handling of Iran, and a majority sees Iran as either only a minor threat or no threat at all, an NPR/PBS News/Marist poll finds.

"Just 36% approve of how Trump is handling Iran, and a majority (55%) thinks Iran either represents a minor threat or no threat at all to the United States." www.npr.org/2026/03/06/n...

if it didn't come with such a horrific body count there'd be at least a twinge of satisfaction in seeing Trump the face-eating leopard become the leopard-face-eatee because no amount of sucking up to Putin will ever stop Putin from screwing him over

as it is, I'm just livid he's so FUCKING gullible

essentially the entire problem with doctoring is that two totally different professions— medicine and care— have been combined into one, and people who want to do medicine broadly resent the expectation to perform care, to disastrous results.

This is what they said about tariffs, too. We must all be willing to endure some short term pain so our dumbass president can implement the policies that will ensure long term pain.

Obama: Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible. Each day we’re told by those in high office to fear each other. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.

‘It’s like the Day of Judgment out here.’ Mass. residents trapped in Middle East as war escalates. - The Boston Globe “There’s nothing you can do but just sit and pray and hope nothing happens,” said Hassan Mourad, who arrived in Beirut last week on business.

The Trump Administration has failed to provide an evacuation plan for American citizens abroad.

That's why we're urging the State Department to take immediate action to support the evacuations of American citizens & provide protection for embassy personnel throughout the Middle East.

This piece is referring to SCOTUS*, but:

The Speaker of the House is an evangelical Christian, as is the Senate Majority Leader.

People keep saying this, but I'm pretty sure Trump is what holds it together. He keeps the R congress in line; without his threats to whip his base against them enough would start to defect and the whole house of cards would fall.

America has a long history of pointless and wasteful military adventurism. And in our quest to normalize Trump we’ve stuck his Iran war in that box: “another war, just like the rest.” It’s not like the rest. It’s an act of insanity, rogue state behavior. Don’t know how this ends until we admit it.

But because of their suffocating conviction that everything is always Fundamentally Normal, that America is a place where nothing ever really happens or changes, those same people are incapable of recognizing the enormity of what we’re doing, when we’re the ones doing it.

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.

this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.

Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.

U.S. Lost 92,000 Jobs in February The payrolls number was worse than the gain of 50,000 jobs economists expected and a sign that the job market continues to struggle in nearly every sector.

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.
