El Jefecito

If you ever think “we’re killing all the right people” and it doesn’t cause you to stop in your tracks and self-reflect you might be a psychopath.

the only thing missing is a stock ticker

Gillibrand calls for Hegseth to resign over bombing of Iranian elementary school. More to follow, one assumes:

Tweet from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz: Justice has been done. I welcome the decision of the Chief Military Prosecutor, Major General Itai Ofir, to close the Sde Teiman cases against IDF soldiers and to cancel the indictment against them. This trial was born in sin by the previous Military Advocate General, using a blood libel against IDF soldiers and criminal investigation methods, and I am glad that justice has been done and the trial has been canceled. The role of the IDF's legal system is to protect and safeguard IDF soldiers who engage heroically in war against cruel monsters, and not the rights of the terrorists of Hamas. I am convinced that the decision will lead to a new path.

The Defense Minister of Israel says it was "blood libel" to go after Israeli soldiers caught on camera raping a Palestinian.

As with the similar one of these that went around yesterday, it’s fascinating to see the mix of contempt and fear on these young men’s faces as they’re questioned.

EGAN-JONES: “.. Israel and the U.S. have succeeded in antagonizing and further radicalizing a state they have no possibility of defeating.”

In Illinois’s Eighth District, AIPAC and AI Try to Buy a Seat - The American Prospect Pro-corporate Melissa Bean is massively outraising Junaid Ahmed, her main progressive challenger.

It's flown under the radar but Melissa Bean is attempting a House comeback in IL-08. She's a former banker who was "Wall Street's favorite Democrat" while in Congress. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social goes through the history, & talks to the main challenger in her primary next week.

"This seems to have been the modal view of the American political, financial, and media establishments: When Trump took over, 'smart' money was on him being something like ‘a good president who writes mean tweets.'"

I think that’s giving them too much credit, as I don’t think they have the ability to pass it, at any time. If they won’t nuke the filibuster now, I cannot imagine they’ll suddenly be able to right before the election. It’s unpopular and they don’t want people to be thinking about it as they vote

I think it affects a huge number of people, ironically, I think it impacts the republican base almost as much if not more than Dems. It’s just stupid and anti-democracy

is there a term for how too many people fucked something up for there to be any consequences?

like, legitimately any ceo that used company money to donate to trump should be fired on the spot for contributing to the destruction of the economy right? like it was obvious and they are stupid

Christian Wonders.

They call him Ol’ Waterwalker. Ol’ Winemaker. The Loavesman.
Resurrects a lot of careers.
His conceptions on pitching? Immaculate.
Flips the card tables in the clubhouse.
Where has he been for the last 18 years? No one knows. He just showed up, shortly after John the Brebbia.

lol. Yea, I don’t think it’s the democrats that are worried about being on record with their position of whether married women should be allowed to vote.

I get that this has been almost entirely theater but I actually think it's quite bad if the people of DC become habituated to the presence of military personnel in the streets, for a whole host of reasons

Trump Administration Set to Suspend Jones Act to Tame Oil Prices By Jennifer A. Dlouhy and Ari Natter 03/12/2026 10:47:10 [BN] (Bloomberg) -- The Trump administration plans to issue temporary waivers for a century-old maritime law requiring American-built ships be used to transport goods between US ports as part of its effort to stop surging oil prices, according to people familiar with the matter. The 30-day waivers for the Jones Act would allow foreign tankers to help supply refiners on the East Coast with fuel from the Gulf Coast and elsewhere in the US, according to the people, who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. It comes as President Donald Trump considers multiple options to stem the dramatic rise in crude and gasoline amid the war in Iran. On Wednesday, the administration announced it would release 172 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as part of a coordinated effort with other nations to unleash 400 million barrels into the world market.

🚨🚨🚨JONES ACT KLAXON🚨🚨🚨

Actually darkly funny that Trump's entire administration has been built around actions strategically designed to deny him the one thing he ever wanted

ICE is trafficking people who aren’t from there to a tiny landlocked absolute monarchy on the borders of South Africa and Mozambique.

We finally made a WebMD with the ability to talk you into suicide.

Reminder that Brent Bozell III (son of Buckley‘s close friend, brother in law and fellow activist Bozell II) was known for his vocal defense of apartheid in the 1980s. It’s not a coincidence that this administration made this man (not a diplomat, but a right-wing activist) ambassador to South Africa

I think quite a bit about how much money I have left on the table not betting against the many suckers who seem to believe in a Trump who does not exist.

Gave up all of the currency and promise of the “idea” of America (however flawed), in exchange for “we kill people. We kill lots of people.”

In recent days, two Trump advisers and two other sources briefed on the situation tell me, US officials have delivered another dire warning to our batshit crazy president: They’ve informed Trump and his lieutenants that, based on American intel, the Iranian…

gotta say that market activity over the past week or so is not making the actors seem particularly rational

The jersey sales alone..... 💸

We joked, but the drunk running the pentagon really does seem to literally think “logistics are for woke soy boys. Real warriors only focus on killing.” And, well, here we are.

Forgoing food. Cutting back on utilities. Driving less. Borrowing money. These are the sacrifices that tens of millions of people are making to afford their health care expenses, according to a West Health-Gallup Center on Healthcare in America survey released.

‪NBC News‬ ‪@nbcnews.com‬ · 11m Defense Department officials told senators in a closed-door briefing that they estimate the first six days of the war in Iran cost more than $11.3 billion, three sources say.

Quite the split screen:
-Millions of Americans are skipping meals or cutting back on utilities to afford health care

-First 6 days of Iran war cost $11.3 billion, Pentagon tells Congress

Pro Football Reference lists Javon Hargrave's nickname as "Gravedigger" which makes some sense given his last name.

I know Stackhouse wears #93 on the current roster, but I reallllllllly feel like Hargrave needs that number now, for Gilbert Brown reasons.
