Were corporate executives briefed in advance on U.S. operations in Iran like they were in Venezuela?

The Trump Admin can’t answer that basic question.

Americans pay more at the pump, all while Big Oil companies profit from war.

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

The Central Lie of Prediction Markets Polymarket and Kalshi promise the wisdom of the crowds. They deliver something very different.

Wrote about the central lie of prediction markets. How they are the perfect technology for a low-trust society, simultaneously exploiting and reifying an environment in which believing the motives behind any person or action becomes harder. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Soccer manager: Our striker hit the ball more than ever before and hit it harder than ever before.

Press: You lost 0-3 and the opposing keeper made zero saves.

Manager: Yes, but we took soooo many hard shots...

Worth listening to the full clip for a very satisfying demolition of Noem!!

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

Pure godless evil.

Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?

As long and meandering as this list of justifications is, it’s STILL missing some excuses.

I don’t see “We have been at war with Iran for 47 years” and I’m sure many more to come.

The authority that Trump has asserted in taking America to war against Iran is, like many of his other power grabs, an expression of the very tyranny the Framers were seeking to prevent. “Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object,” a young congressman named Abraham Lincoln wrote in 1848. This was “understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us.” This quote, incidentally, is immortalized on the House’s website, if any members of Congress are looking for it.

The design of the Constitution divided warmaking authority between Congress and the executive to prevent a president to take the country to war by themselves for any petty or self-serving reason. You know, like a king would. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The fucking irony of this on his website.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

I’m right there with you, closed captioning

Oh, Death, why canst thou not sometimes be timely?

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?"

Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely."

"Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

A graffiti work by seattle artist Topsy shows a parody of an Uncle Sam recruitment poster. In it, Donald Trump says 'Forget trafficked school girls... bomb Iranian ones! 165+ girls dead! I WANT YOU for operation EPSTEIN FURY'

Apparently this graffiti by Topsy was spotted in Seattle today:

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

the State of Qatar in response to an article published by Bloomberg 3 March 2026 Contrary to reporting by Bloomberg on Monday evening, the inventory of Patriot interceptor missiles held by the Qatar Armed Forces has not been depleted and remains well-stocked. The Qatar Armed Forces have repeatedly demonstrated their capability to defend the nation against external threats and remain at full readiness to protect all citizens, residents, and visitors for as long as necessary. Publishing such false information without verification from official sources is deeply irresponsible, especially during this fast-moving and highly sensitive period in the region. We are reviewing all appropriate options, including legal options, to ensure this misinformation is promptly corrected

i’m at the anti-ICE protest
i’m at the anti-war with iran protest
i’m at the combination anti-ICE anti-war with iran protest

Not a subtle one, but definitely helps direct some of my rage at these fuckers.

Successful psychopaths are very good at imitating normal emotional responses, which they learn over decades of observing normal people. But when facing a novel situation, they have no such learning to rely on, and their jarringly cold responses reveal their hollow interiors.

U.S. Races to Accomplish Iran Mission Before Munitions Run Out President Trump says the Iran campaign might last a week or longer, but dwindling stockpiles could limit his options.

i'm no fancy military strategist but "we didn't really plan so we're going to run out of munitions soon" seems not great
