That Trump repeats calls for Iran's unconditional surrender on same day he's got the defence industrial chiefs round for an emergency meeting on military supplies perfectly sums up his grasp of ends & means.

barack obama is eulogizing jesse jackson right now and he hasnt made a single mention of which late night tv show has been very mean and nasty or complained once about the 2010 midterms being rigged, its bizarre
Nothing more hurtful than discovering what you thought was a deep friendship is fake
Totally normal thing for Senior Counsel at DOJ to tweet out at 2am
Locally refined gasoline, ARCO, is already $5 a gallon in Los Angeles County and this hasn't really begun.
There was an episode from the 1980s revival of the Twilight Zone called "Wordplay" that I keep coming back to. Robert Klein plays a salesman who slowly realizes to his horror that words are taking on new meanings for everyone else but him.
Coffee, straight out of my nose.
I’m a little confused because the economists on my timeline are like “oh yeah we’re facing a generational energy crisis because Trump is a madman who started a war he can’t control” while the politicians are like “it’s important to make clear we support the troops until it all blows over next week”
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Super shocking. Given that Russia helped our enemies during Vietnam, Korea, and both gulf wars, who could have guessed this would happen. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...
It's oddly reassuring to see war with Iran going exactly like how everyone has said it would for the last several decades
If we keep electing men like Trump, they will keep undermining that foundation, until it finally collapses.
One day that may well happen. But on Friday, the Supreme Court said not this day. On this day the presidency is stuffed back into its box. On this day the Constitution holds.
This is an actual Pentagon press release. “An Army believed to be casualty…the believed to be death”
like i said this when the US attacked venezuela. we are hurdling back into an extremely violent world, one which hasn't really existed since the 1700s and which nobody since hitler has really tried to enact. and it's entirely on trump's hands
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.
Having faced no consequences for anything, Trump has noticed that he has the world’s largest military at his command, and believes he has found a brilliant solution for solving problems that no one before him was smart enough to discover: just kill everyone in your way, until they obey you.
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.
A different betting-on-murder app, Kalshi, just partnered (read: gave money to) with the Associated Press, which absolutely should know better than to give their golden goose (industry-standard election results) to a gambling site, but apparently they are run by fucking morons now.
This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
Ukraine’s industrial production fell by 8.1% y-o-y in January, after -2.1% y-o-y in December (Dragon Capital).
The dominant cause was power shortages, which appear to have been overcome now.
The US refused to deliver Patriot missiles.
Never trust Trump!
Given Trump's policy, why should Europe do anything for him?
1. Unjustified trade war.
2. Persistent insults.
3. Undermining European democracy through support of the anti-democratic right.
Trump! Stop all this nonsense at once!
Europe! Don't help Trump in his odious acts!
Trust Trump to do two things to help Putin:
1. Bomb Iran boosting the global oil price.
2. Substantially ease US sanctions on Russian oil exports.
Trump will substantially increase Russia's revenues to kill Ukrainians.
Trump is Putin's best friend.

CBP puts the blame on legacy IT systems. To be blunt, while these problems may be completely valid, this is entirely the fault of the government.
You will never go wrong betting on "Goverment IT systems are held together by spit, sealing wax, and a deep faith in a higher power."
NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.
Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.
That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.
