Graves: There’s been reporting that some troops have been told that this is about starting Armageddon.
Warner: I don’t know whether that’s coming from the White House or just from specific military commanders.
Another *huge* difference between 1984 and 2028, as noted by The Sports Examiner's Rich Perelman, former 1984 press officer, is that in 1984 the organizing committee had public meetings and public finances and LA28 is a private nonprofit with no transparency.
AHEM
This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.
The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.
More than 48% of all pretextual stops occur in just four council districts, according to LAPD’s report. Those council districts are CD8 (Harris-Dawson), CD9 (Price), CD14 (Jurado), CD14 (McOsker). There are 15 council districts.
Here’s a link to that report:

“I cannot hug him, I cannot kiss him.”
One woman, an aunt of a man who was killed during an LAPD interaction by bullets fired from officers. She says it was due to a pretextual stop.
Several aides in the back visibly laughing. Several councilmembers do not look up from their desks.
LA City Council’s City President Marqueece Harris-Dawson says he has been pulled over four times while a member of the council; the most recent was this week. He missed a committee meeting because of the stop, according to him.
Among the questions: “how do you have this vehicle,” according to him.
Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.
If we survive this, I really hope parents take a long look at how they are teaching empathy to their children. It's so obvious that that is the missing ingredient in huge chunks of the population, amplified by social media algorithms and cultural rewards for reactions rather than thoughtfulness.

Unacceptable
Neguse: It's still unclear as to the ultimate reasons that Trump made that decision. It may be that the corruption that Noem was engaged in embarrassed him. It may be that he was envious of it.

Like one of the few things Trump could legitimately claim until this week (though not through anything he did) was that gas prices had, in fact, come down in the past year somewhat (not as much as he claimed, of course).
Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.
“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

The Justice Department forced the Florida Bar to drop its probe. The Florida Bar said today it is no longer investigating former Justice Department attorney Lindsey Halligan, reversing an earlier statement that a review was underway
United States Onurt of Appeals FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT No. 26-5050 September Term, 2025 1:25-cv-02471-ACR Filed On: March 6, 2026 Fritz Emmanuel Lesly Miot, et al., Appellees V. Donald J.

BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noem’s effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation.
Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJ’s request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.
Haiti TPS is safe for now.
There have been some very bad developments today.
ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Can’t say they weren’t warned.

Imagine all the cool, fast trains we could have with the billions we spend on bombs.
We’ll soon be measuring the Pentagon by the number of countries it’s NOT striking.

I mean this only half jokingly but pretty much any country could just ship oil to Cuba right now and the US really couldn't do anything could it
Buttigieg: You’ve got money from the Middle East going into the Trump family crypto fund while you have Americans going to the Middle East for Donald Trump’s war.
The New Yorker Kristi Noem will be remembered as the most incompetent Secretary in the 23-year history of the D.H.S. now
I don’t think the incompetence actually is going to be what Kristi Noem is remembered for.
It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.
Secretary Kristi Noem @Sec_Noem Thank you @POTUS Trump for appointing me as the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. @SecRubio and @SecWar are incredible leaders and I look forward to working with them closely to dismantle cartels that have poured drugs into our nation and killed our children and grandchildren. The Western Hemisphere is absolutely critical for U.S. security. In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise, I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security. We have made historic accomplishments at the Department of Homeland Security to make America safe again: we delivered the MOST secure border in American history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., we have located 145,000 children, FEMA delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate, we ushered in the golden age of travel, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion and revitalized the U.S. Coast Guard.
oh my goodness she seems to think Special Envoy for the Shield is a real job
